. My personal feeling is that if the exchange is still continuing, it's not appropriate to skip a line. Granted, I gained that impression from novels that also /indent/ each new line, but it's stuck with me. I can see reason to do it the way you suggest, though, for clarity purposes. I definitely see room for telling more about myself. I don't often put actual-me into stories as more than an incidental cameo, and I forget that you all don't know me the way I do! Certainly should keep that in mind for when I am a character in the future. As for saying more about Schrody, that's something I did consider. The end decision, however, was that I couldn't reveal more about him and maintain the premise of the story: that I knew next to nothing about him. As a note, yes, Schrody is a him. I do actually have a character base by this name, and he has served several purposes for me in the past. He was singularly stubborn about talking to me for a long time, though I knew a little more than I portrayed for the purposes of this challenge.
