My goodness, ladies! And gentlemen, it appears that we have one here.
You must remember to CAPITALIZE the beginning of your sentences, names, and proper nouns.
Second, "Quotations are used like this. There is no space or any punctuation directly after the the first quotation mark and only punctuation before the second -no space."
Why?
" ,because this just looks really silly. "
Second of all, I know this has nothing to do with punctuation, but when typing a post, you do not have to say your character's name repeatedly. WE KNOW WHO YOUR CHARACTER IS.
It is perfectly acceptable to refer to them as "he" or "she".
Really, I swear, it is.
Also, this is again, unrelated to punctuation, but please, don't use any font size smaller than 11 anywhere in your replies.
They're terribly hard for blind people like me to read.
Any questions?

Also, and please pay attention because I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH.
Please, don't use bright colours in your posts!
Not every one in the group you are rp'ing with has 20/20 vision!
Bright, light or faded colours are hard to see, and even worse when you are typing in a really tiny font.
See what I mean?

Doctor, my character is androgynous. That's not the medical problem, though. I need some help thinking of ways to use mainly gender-neutral words as much as possible. I've talked with others about switching the gender as I type every post or so, and I don't want to use "it" as an option. Do you have any other suggestions.

Historically "he" was used as a gender neutral pronoun but, that context has been lost. You could say 'Chinook' in lieu of 'it'...it kind of showcases the crazy.

When I auditioned, I was worried about saying "Chinook thought that maybe Chinook was too tired" or whatever. But that might work for the ball.

Might I also suggest ze/hir? ze is equivalent to he/she, while hir is him/her. It's becoming rather commonplace for those who a gender neutral.

I don't know if it would confuse other people or not, but I like the idea of transcending gender identifying words in Chinook's case, by either taking them out or altering them.

It might be confusing at first, but it's fairly easy to pick up on, since you'd be using it a lot. It's almost second nature to figure it out once you see that it's anywhere he/she and him/her would be. You could always put a 'fun fact' about gender neutral terms in your sig for the duration of the event as well.

I'd have to get used to referring to hir by ...their... proper words. Is there a gender neutral his/hers?

PinkieKitty That sounds like a good idea. I'd have to get used to referring to hir by ...their... proper words. Is there a gender neutral his/hers? Oh, I forget that one. Give me a minute *googledate* His/hers would be hirs. Also, hirself is good for himself/herself. Here, take a look. There are quite a few other possibilities to choose from. That's just the system I'm most familiar with (since it's the one my friend asks to have applied to hir)
