On another note, I find it interesting that you're using capital letters to emphasize words and not italics. I noticed that italics/bold/etc are dissuaded from use in your rules. Is it because such formats are hard to read on the forum? I'm curious because correct written format actually dissuades the use of capital letters; instead, emphasis and conveyance of emotions to individual words are often done through italics - at least in a novelia. |
I believe the reason was to create a basic idea of equality; one who knows how to use italics correctly would have a much more dynamic entry than one who didn't. Of course, leaving out expressions completely would ruin the purpose of writing, so in the proposition thread I believe we agreed on capitals.
Just as a note, all my other compositions outside the competition use many varieties of expressive punctuation.
