Come here to improve your rolplay skills, this is NOT a roleplay, only a practice area of sorts.
All experienced RP-ers are to help the less fortunate

Well, punctuation would help (( . , ? ! spaces )) and decent spelling ((No need for spell check, justa quick once over)). I try myself not to write oneliners but hey, no prob if your stuck somewhere... ^^ Just try for literacy I suppose. I'm not super picky. Oh and (( )) or something of the sort for any OOC during rp time. Just have fun!!

there are also uses for the * and <> symbols during a roleplay. This symbol* can be used to seperate actions from speaking. and these two symbols <> can be used when mind speaking or thinking in your mind. though you can also use italics for those two things.

both good tips.
here is a bad rp:

'John woke up jumped out the window and hit the groung
ouch he said standing up i think i brokedsomthing'

Now, you get me to re-write that

'John woke up, feeling depressed. He opened his window, shut his eyes and jumped out.
He hit the groung with a sickening crunch, but was still alive
"Ouch!" he said trying to stand, "I think I broke something"'

Personally I perfer people to use italics... <> and * can get distruptive when trying to read through a paragraph, though for OOC I don't mind. Just think, if you were reading a book, you wouldn't see <> anywhere... ((except in animorphs... >.<))

I have to agree with her here. * and <> can get really annoying. I can see you using them if you have two characters so as to distinguish between the two (though colors are much better) otherwise I would not recomend using them at all.
