Sometimes, role playing can be, well, difficult. This is a place to help those in need of help. A lot of people don't know how to roleplay, so don't feel bad if you have questions.
Do's and Don'ts
DON'T forget punctuation! But remember not to use, like 17 exclamation points. Add commas, quotes, periods, question marks, ect. where needed.
DO use spell check. It is there for a reason! If something like a charm or another Hogwarts thing comes up, ignore it, but if it's something like: walking and you spell it woking, look at the suggestions.
DON'T use chatspeak in roleplay example: Ella wlked 2 clss. Bob wz ther. / Ella walked to class, Bob was there.
DO use Capitalization in the right spot! example: ella walked to class. bob was there/ Ella walked to class. Bob was there.
DON'T forget about homophones. Some examples: To, Two, Too Break, Brake Heel, Heal, He'll Hoarse Horse week, weak
DO be descriptive. It makes it much easier to have a fun roleplay when there is description. Example: The butterfly flew by Joe. He ran away. The beautiful orange butterfly flew near Joe. He ran screaming in terror toward the castle.
DO mix it up a bit! Speak in a random color that hasn’t already been used by a ton people, or use little font, because that encourages wanting the post to look longer (see suggestion 6)
DON’T repeat what you character is thinking out loud. Example: ‘today is a sad day’ Ella thought. “I feel sad today,” She said to Aurora.
ANYWAY, ALL IN ALL, AURORA AND I WISH TO MAKE ROLEPLAYING SIMPLE, FUN, AND LESS OBNOXIOUS! (is written by Ella while on the phone talking about what to write with Aurora)

Like me. I use a small font for the regular text, but my thinking/speaking/speaking to Echo is normal.
>3 It makes me stand out.
I like standing out.

Yes, and standing out is good!
but HUGE font and incorrect grammar is annoying and makes many of us (if not all) absurdly cantankerous. When I see it, I just want to go in and fix it...even though it's not possible. If ANYONE feels their posts fall in this catagory, ask a question. We will always be happy to give advice. Sometimes, it's a simple mistake, but if you see it later on, as in forgetting to put "quotes" around dialog, GO BACK AND EDIT!

Well, a new 'suggestion'. It is a good thing to start your own threads. This, is not a good thing to do. Characters: Bob, Fred, Joe
'At the Hufflepuff Table Feb 9, 07 Bob: Bob walked into the Great hall and sat at the Hufflepuff table. The food looked great...(ect)
Fed 9, 07 Fred: Fred looked around the Great Hall and saw his fellow classmate and best friend Bob. He walked over to him. "Hey, how are you?" (ect.)
Feb 10, 07 Bob: "Oh, hey Fred, I'm great, in fact, I aced my exam in potions!" He began to eat some of the food he had been putting on his plate (ect)
Feb 10, 07 Fred "That's great," Fred sat down across from his friend. "I unfortunately did not do so well" (ect)
Feb 10, 07 Bob "I'm sorry," he looked at the sparkling night sky. "Anyway, what did you think of the homework from Flitwick?" Bob promptly changed the subject. "I couldn't get the teapot to fill itself with water and boil itself..."
Feb 12, 07 Fred "I did." Fred exclaimed, "But I didn't get it to boil." (ect)
Feb 13, 07 Joe Joe of Slytherin walked in and sat down at his table, looking for someone to talk to.
Joe could have started a NEW THREAD, because he just interrupted a conversation That is VERY annoying. Instead, Joe should make his own thread, to reduce people from having their conversations interrupted.
