Here I will post anything and everything I know about writing and roleplaying in the form of nifty tips for your reading pleasure. I started writing these for Korin and decided I should post them in Liphe. Anyhow: thanks for reading.

KTDT#1: NEVER, EVER, EVER use freaking *asterisks* when you are roleplaying! Narration never needs any time of indications as you probably already know: but people talking goes in "these nifty little quotes". So here is an example:
Billy Bob Man danced around on the skyscraper, exclaiming "HAI MUMMY"
Using asterisks outside of roleplay is completly fine though, like in ooc or if you are chatting, these symbols signify ACTION.

KTDT#2: This tip will cover basic roleplaying rules. Uno: the two fastest ways to piss off a roleplayer are God Modeling and chat speak. God Modeling is when your character is all powerful: they never get hurt, they dodge every punch thrown in their direction, and their powers surpass that of acceptable during roleplay. There are instances this rule may be void, such as in the case of a Government Agent verses a ten year old. The ten year old ISN'T gonna land a punch on that officer, you know it. And the Chat Speak is a given: good GOD people, why must you torment me?!

KTDT#3: Another good way to piss off a roleplayer is Power Playing. Power Playing (Usually abbreviated to PP), is when one takes control of another's character. Example:
RPer A: Mike punches Bob, and as Bob falls to the ground, starts kicking him. When Bob tries to get up, Mike takes out a-
RPer B: *loads sniper rifle*
You must completly drop this habit if you don't want to be ditched mid roleplay: hell, I would beat you up if you did this to me.
