I was just wondering what points of view are acceptable, or at least customary to use in threads. Yeah, not that big a query, but thought I'd bring it out regardless.

If you're asking if your character can have sex, yes, just be sure to post a disclaimer at the start of the thread.

If you want to kill some kids, go ahead, might wanna disclaim that as well.

Sex with children? Oh hell no. Not allowed at all.

Those are he major ones that pop into my head.

I think he meant first person, third person narratives, so on. In that sense, write whichever, just be consistent, or you will confuse the reader.

Actually I meant the narrative point of view, sorry. As in first person, second person, third person, alternating person view, and the narrative voice, and the tense in which its written. Thanks for the quick reply though.
Edit: Letho ninja'ed me. What is it with you people and quick posting? Anyway, thanks, that answers my question.
Edit #2: No wait it was SirArtemis.

Your mind goes to some dark places, Sei.

That Letho is an awesome fellow, isn't he? He ninjas people even when he's not in the thread. ;)

And thus, my character has a personal protective "morality" shield constantly protecting her.... until she gets older anyways.

But yes, like Artie said, and what Letho probably ninjaed you with. Try and keep the perspective consistent within a post, and if you want to change, do it in a different post? How to lead into that though... I have no idea.

Also, Sei, you are no longer allowed close to Azza now that I know you habor those thoughts >:!

Kidding~


EDIT: If Letho is really Artemis and Artemis is really Letho, then I'm a brick-laying llama >_>...

Hey, the profile thing says 14. In medieval times, it would be open season on her.

What? Just saying. :)

I will now sad face at Letho for a long time.... until I realize there is truth in what he just said and will cry a little inside.
