If someone consistently used "text speak" in their writing, but their imaginative stories were great, would you totally overlook it every time they wrote "r u ok?" in IC dialogue?
[[mod]] That's veering off-topic from this thread. I'd encourage opening a new thread for discussion on how writing style might influence the impact of a scene.
But in the context of this thread, "r u ok?" would show that the person considered quote marks for IC dialog important.
I think it's topically relevant to the extent that those who feel the quotes aren't needed might benefit from considering whether or not that's a logical position to take if they aren't similarly accepting of other possible writing faux pas.Â
But! I bow to the power of Mod. :D
