I have a question about RP post format

I read through the rules and I've looked through some posts that people have made but I'm still a little confused on what our posts are supposed to look like.

Are we posting from a first or third person point of view? Furthermore, are the posts supposed to be novel-like where actions and dialog are put into paragraphs or is it just freedom of style?

normaly, it's supposed to be
action at the third person in italic.
Dialog just like that, or with "" if you want.

And if you want to, you can make novel like, but i don't do that cause i'm not that good in english

Ok, I was just wondering. I prefer the novel style format for writing because it's just easier for me, but I didn't want to type like that and have everyone get annoyed with me.

just write like you want, it's all

I can write in novel format?
NICE!

what is novel format?

Writing like it is a book.
Example:

Quote :

Dimitri walked up to the shop, pausing to look through the window as he did so.
He seemed distracted, as if what was hidden in the building was hypnotizing him.
He quickly turned as he snapped out of the trance, "That was weird."

Crappy writing I know, but that is just an example.

Novel format is the way authors write in their books. You have paragraphs linked together by a series of related events and dialog and formatted with complete sentences.

I'm terrible at explaining things like this but I hoped that helped.

EDIT: Just look at Dimitri's post.

and to write in novel format...
u must have a very good descriptive english
(i wont be able to do tat, since my english really bad)

Then, there's s the way I learned when I joined here

Knocks on the door and enters

I learned what Andy does too. Can we have a choice of novel or italics?

but even if we are writing with novel format, we still use italics right? because it's not speech.
I find having to use "" tiring.
It's alright to use a mix between the two right? novel format and Andy's format.

I just want italcis since im so lazy to make post long.

I think the general consensus is that people RP with whatever style they think is best.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. ^^;

i find that too, but if some write the action normal, some in italic, some in bold and some between ** it will really be confusing.

We should have standard-rule-suggestion-thing two ways of doing it....Italics and...maybe the little ** things

Eh...we'll survive

i prefer the way i'm doing rite now...
its simple and fast

and I like doind the same way as Lunatia does it.

Ummm..............................any1 probrly for me

i just want the action be in italic, its more simple

yes. That is the one I ment.

*thumbs up*
I'm still gonna do it my way.

i think the best way is to be ourself...
if u like with novel format then go ahead..
and if u want to write the simple one, just do it...

tat shows characteristic of ppl rite..
different ppl would have different ways..
