Im making a new game called "The Lurking Forest" I expect it to be out in a day or two.

Welcome to the site.

For future reference, posts of this nature belong in the Writing Workshop (regarding works yet to be completed).

Ok but this is the first place i thought

Ever heard of apostrophes and periods?

Its just a message

Again, ever heard of apostrophes and periods?

You know you dont have to annoy me about this

Use them and I won't. The apostrophe key is directly left of enter. Period is right by the [right] shift and question mark keys.

Effort, sonny.

?

Have you ever read a forum before? Put effort into everything you type, that includes basic punctuation. If not good practice, it at least keeps you from looking like a complete dumbass.

Since this a site that revolves around wriitng and you are writing something that you want people to read, it is in your best interest to try to use at proper grammar and spelling more often than not. Grammar and spelling form the basics of writing. Lack of usage of proper grammar and the like on the forms can lead to people assuming that your writing in your storygame will be the same.

Seriously, it is just a simple little message!

Lawl.

Yeah, Lawl.

lol < I didn't mean that lawl lol.

Everything is taken seriously on this site. You just get used to it. Back to your story though, don't rush it is my advice. Many new writers on here just throw story games on the sight that looks like there was very little effort on them. Check spelling, make sure details are there, and accept advice, and you will go far!

Yeah. I am definitely not rushing this one so it will be good. P.S. This is my opinion.

It's not even a matter of seriousness. If you can't even obey basic English language grammar rules, there's no reason to think you can competently tell a story.

Point right there, if it wasn't that serious then you would have just relaxed, and let it fly.

If someone can't be bothered to spend a few extra seconds to add some keystrokes, why should I take them seriously? Why should anyone?

im think u r beeing mean their isnt a reeson u do thsi accept to bee meen im dont think you're not meen

Lol, wtf. Oh, I'm sorry, laugh out loud, what the fuck. Which would you prefer, or do you not care.

It is just a message. Of course i am going to use correct grammar and stuff.

His story is up now by the way. It...leaves something to be desired, IMO.

The best advice I can give is to not write a story in a day, and to use the forums to get feedback and advice rather than whatever the point of this thread was. I think if you'd just posted your first page here and asked for thoughts there would have been plenty of writers with suggestions.
