I woudn't say you learned badly. It's like the first
time you learn how to put emphasis in a story, either
through ALL CAPS of _underscores_ or whatever, one
tends to use them _EVERYWHERE_! At least I did. ^_^;
This was one "fault" in what was otherwise very useful
C&C. I hope it doesn't discourage you from offering
such in the future.
Well, 9 out of 10 experiments are a failure, or some such, and I
won't repeat that error, but as long as my C&C is welcome here (and
that's what the FFML is for, right? ;) I'll keep my opinionated
rants coming. :p
Er.... If I got that right, anyway. ;)
Hey, like I said, it's intuitive. Even if it wasn't
"convention", it should be. And, actually, it's the
convention used by Studio Proteus in their AMG
translations for Dark Horse. I have only written AMG
stuff, and in AMG there's a lot of dropped dialogue,
both interrupted and non. A lot of thought dialogue,
as well, but I haven't found a neat way to address
that without interrupting the flow every third
sentence to say "he thought" or "she mentally added".
I finally gave up and just don't quote thoughts at all
any more. I seriously doubt that's "convention", but
it seems to work for my readers. ^_^;
Well, the FFML should be edutational, and this helps it be just that.
