Hello emma101, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but please try to write at a high school level. Forum posts are not text messages a 7 year old girl writes during gym.

She's middle school, but that writing is about as strong as my instant messaging.. Well actually I have scripts installed that edit my messages so not really...

Am I being too harsh?

how??

Not at all, except perhaps that she might not be able to write at a highschool level because she's in middle school, but the text-message-crap needs to go.

I by no means have perfect grammar, but... well... yeah.. Its not that bad.

how??

Just cause i write like CRAP on the internet dosent meen i write like that ALL the time, show some respect please!!!  ive won several story writing competitions and as for YOU 3j  (you KNOW how good MY grammar is!!  just kidding!!) you wish your grammar was perfect but like i said i will try and cut the text message writing!!

how??

Telling people to "show respect" is pointless. People will show respect if you've earned it from them.  Writing like that and then telling us that you've won story writing competition (which by the way, you've never told me) is absurd. What reasoning does anyone have to believe you?  And no ones grammar is perfect, I don't wish for that: I can think of a billion things I'd rather have.  My grammar is passable.

Really grammar is more of a type of writing for certain situations.

Dere drunk for gramma peopeeel, there art grammar for plays, poetry hath not no grammar, n thrs smthin lyk grmmr for txt msging n stuf.

But yeah, in the context of this site, grammar is basically just formal and somewhat sophisticated if possible, kind of like the kind that you'd give for an English oral.

Not that I'm anything to follow for English speeches, I often pass but with little or no very good grammar.

But I think for this site my grammar is somewhat acceptable.

And yeah I think you MIGHT have been joking but don't ask for respect. Most of the writers on here have won some kind of prize or award for writing before-

I got a runnerup in a poetry competition recently I got some runnerup stuff for The Journey and DZD, and my 'funny' songwriting has got me an invitation for a radio show recently-

but yeah don't brag about it or anything! :P

Wow, these arguments are about small details and then erupt into deathmatches (sort of).
Look, emma, Since this is a writing site, you should probably use correct or near-correct grammar. Not only does it make sense, but it is just easier to read and understand. I see that you have taken our advice and you are taking more time to write proper sentences. Great, that's what we want to see.

Now, to anyone else who has bad grammar (whether now in the future), please adhere to these rules:

1. Take your time! This is a forum, not an Instant Messaging chat room. You can take your time with your sentences. Look up words you don't know, think before you write, and remember to heed the red lines. Now, I often misspell words - like "epitomy" (that's as close as I can remember) - but at least other people can get a basic idea of what word I trying to say.

2. Refrain from chatspeak. Words like OMG, LOL, ROFLCOPTER, etc. are chatspeak; and although it doesn't get my Nazi senses tingling, it's sort of a pet-peeve.

3. Smilies are teh_gheyzorz!!!!1111one Sure, smilies are funny or a quick way to show emotion, but don't you dare overuse them! If they appear after every sentence, it really ticks me off. Use them very sparingly; a good writer can show emotion through words. Of course, if a certain phrase means one emotion, but it's not the emotion you want, go ahead and use a smiley. Again, don't overuse them.

Yeah, that's about it. Geez, I'm getting my moderator on! Heheheh, ugh.

Rather die, well I guess hes not THAT bad, like when I was smaller he used to make up games of strategy and skill and fighting, his sister and l had a pretty good time

how??

17 years ago

Yeah, I've always been quite imaginative.

My sister was always twice the role player though, emma.

how??

17 years ago
Ya in other words you favored her, but thats understandable she is YOUR sister. . .

how??

17 years ago
Well.... If you call favoring: Watching your character die when it runs out in front of large demons and watching hers live when it doesn't... Then yeah. . .

how??

17 years ago

Or when l took more risks and she was as boring as hell not doing anything. . .

You had fun, so just admit it. . .

how??

17 years ago
Oh yes. Killing your character off multiple times was fun.  I havn't and won't deny that.

how??

17 years ago

Yes, actually, it was fun. . . You were EVER so giving with lives. . . And there we go again, favoritism, cruel thing, is it not?

Yet some how, some where in my memories l remember you laughing at something. . . And not me dieing. . .

Oh my god! I laughed at something?! Heaven forbid. . .

Hey Emma, out of curiosity, if you're able to write well, like the last couple times I've seen your post, why did you first post the way you did? Is it cool to text speak or something?

I don't mean any of the above in any disrespectful or sarcastic way, I truly don't know the answer - I'm old and, I'm sure, completely out of touch with whatever is "cool" to teenagers.

how??

17 years ago
Oh madglee, so subtly patronizing. Hahahaha!

how??

17 years ago
Well whats cool to teenagers is probably very different than whats cool for her. . .

how??

17 years ago
I don't believe in "cool". "Cool" is just a word meaning "acceptable by the average person and regarded as higher than the usual popular thing." (No, I don't think I quoted Dictionary.com there.) "Cool" and the ideal of cool is just a way of controlling the general population, particularly teenagers. Teens just want to fit in and therefore accumulate friends. The more alike you are to the 'popular' sect, the more chance you have of promoting your social status in that school or whatever. I'm not one for being normal, or average, or run-del-mill. I like to be unique, and if people laugh at me for this, I simply remember that they are just uneasy. In fact, their response in itself is a way of preserving their normality and this ensuring another reason for the higher-ups to promote their social status. Plus, I don't care what other people say because I respect differences in people - whether their behaviour or skin color or religion. Eventually I'll be surrounded by people who actually want to survive in this life, not just be "cool" with an invisible sect that only exists in their memories.

Thats not true at all Anubis

some of the coolest things are totally out there.  Would you not say that space travel is cool?  Oh no wait, I only think space travel is cool because I want to fit in. . .

Seems to me, by being a non-conformist: You are only attempting to conform with those who don't conform.

I used to be with it.  Then they changed what it was.  Now, what I'm with isn't it anymore, and what is it seems weird and scary to me.  And it'll happen to you, too.

I agree. leet is crap. Now I have a flimsy pretext to direct you all to this guide on noobs and their worship of the number 1337.

My favourite line is: "You can create some simple noobish of your own, however, by mashing your face into the keyboard repeatedly."

JJJ, you realize I was ONCE AGAIN just having fun and write a big hyperbole? But you make a good point about anti-conformity... Either way, I don't care if I fit in or not. Oh, and space travel isn't cool. It's FRIGGIN' AWESOME!

So what your saying is I should not take what you post seriously because you're "just having fun"?

how??

17 years ago
No, I'm saying don't think I'm the most left liberal or right conservative or whatever. And this is once again one big misunderstanding. lol

this thread was created to acknowledge my genius.

So let's get back to admiring me, okay?

Honestly Seth, I didn't like Snow as much as Haunted. Yes, the story was sweet and the it was written nicely with a brilliant plot. But it just lacked the replayability that Haunted has. I'm still trying to get that last ending.

how??

17 years ago
There are alot of "extras" to get in snow though

how??

17 years ago
That's true. I'm not saying it was bad or anything, definatly one of the better stories, just stateing that I think he's written better.

how??

17 years ago
Which ending are you talking about, anyway?

how??

17 years ago
I like both Snow and Haunted, but - yeah, Haunted was a more developed story in terms of interface and replay value.

Ey man, I'm pretty close to considering myself a fan of his writing too.
