Hi i am a new user here currently in the the process of writhing a story i was curious if their is a certain format to writing dialog for characters on this site if so i would like to learn the format PS: my story is mostly in first person with an occasional third person addition to it Thanks for the help
Ooh - I totally suck at dialog haha!
But, just put the dialog in Quotes and occasionally let the reader know who is still talking =)
Thanks do you know if its okay to do the Dialog like this
John: what did you say
Brandon: you heard me
"just an example"
Generally no (even with colored text).
You can of course, but you'll rate higher if you use:
"What did you say?" asked John.
"You heard me," replied Brandon.
Cool thanks you just saved me alot of time ill just change what i do have.
Big fan of ded man walking by the way Thanks for the help
Many, (including me) dislike that way of writing.
Its not fatal to a game, but if your game isn't good, its gonna sink the game completley.
Thanks for the advice
I have another question when your writing from first person do you have to write "i replied" at the end of the dialog or can you just leave the dialog line and write the name of the characters at the end of the others
well to dumb it down for some of the none bright users like myself i would label it just to be clear. and if its in the point of view that the person that the story is about is telling the story to someone else the i would use i replied but if its a story where your trying to make it like the reader is telling the story then i would make it you replied.
