Writing Conventions

CAPITALIZATION OF NOUNS

Nouns may be capitalized for a variety of reasons. Most of the FPMC Jargon will be capitalized to distinguish it as a created word. Other times words may be capitalized to provide emphasis; this often differs by character as well as medium.

CHAT-BOXES

Chat-boxes generally indicate conversation over the wIntraNet but are also used with non-wIntraNet characters to denote phone and/or computer-based texting. In a very limited application, they may indicate telepathic communication.

SUBJUNCTIVE MOOD

If I were a writer, it would be a hill on which I am willing to die.

UNRELIABLE NARRATOR

None of the work should be considered as being from the omniscient point-of-view. All pieces are written from the perspective of the characters; the character named in the title should be considered the main character or point-of-view for that particular piece. The named character changes what is noticed or described as well as the style.
