I so agree to this post.

@TM, take a bow!

I know this place feels clumsy when I come across flawed writing, the flaws mentioned above. Though I am not a perfect into writing as well. But not as flawed as these.

At times I can ignore some flaws but sometimes things just seem unbearable.

Anyways. Thanks for the post.

Use Forum Codes

[*CENTER] TITLE [/CENTER*]

Remove the * marks! And it works like this,

TITLE

Or you can use the center alignment on the word document and directly paste it here.

Both the ways work.

Excellent thread! 👏

You are right, these things do annoy the readers at times. You have done a great job by bringing all these otherwise overlooked issues under one post!

One more thing, The font type. I think Georgia is the best font for stories. I dislike Comic San MS font for long composition. It looks good on Birthday cards, comic books, restaurant menus, signs, etc. but not for stories.

Well, I personally think that font type for a story should really depend on the writer. I know some fonts are more suited for long compositions than others are, but I feel as though it really depends on the size of the font. For long compositions, if the size of the font is more than 2 or 3, than it doesn't look good. Also, writing in all caps, not using space bars, having an entire composition italicized or underlined or bolded should all be considered as things that writers should NOT do while writer, it's not pleasing to look at. Also, using multiple different colors in a long composition is very irritating. I know some writers may do it for flashbacks or song sequences, and that's fine, but having every other paragraph, or every other sentence, or every other word, or even every other word be in a different color is honestly just the biggest eyesore ever!

Superb post... I have never read any of your works... to be absolutely honest, I was busy and haven't been regular on IF for around 10 months now... i have over 300 mails in my inbox about updates... 😕 just yesterday I started to read some fictions since I have loads of time now... wanted to start something new since I have lost track of the stories that I used to read... this is the 3rd post that I am reading... and it made my day...

I always thought of this... I have read fictions that have good story lines but the fact that it has bad verbiage or font colors or irregular patterns have made me stop... nonetheless in some cases I have still made the effort to form the sentence in my head and reread it... but still it's a turn off... at times I thot of shooting a PM telling the writer bout this but I just thought that it wud be rude... I mean at least they made an effort to start writing. (I dont even do that not to gud with creativity) and I totally agree with the hindi part... I mean some stories are just fun to read in hindi... it kinda helps us relate more to the character since that's how we initially started... the TV serials are in hindi...

Thanks for the guidelines... I really hope that helps...

(PS. I noe I have over used the 3 periods and probably skipped capitals at the start of the sentence😛 and mebbe used text language😉... but I hope u can forgive that... please don't write up a "comments guide" and even if you do please don't use my example 😃😃😃
