| Hello! I'm here today to show you the standards of posting; there's a good standard, and then there's another one; the bad standard. On this site, the bad standard is a swear word, so we'll just call it the BS, to emphasize how important these are. Now, I'll shall you what a good post looks like, and when you post, you should at least match it or do better. Then, I'll demonstrate a BS, and you'll see why we call it a BS.
A good post should look something like this;- Spoiler:
Everything was pure chaos there for a moment; John speaking, Beth yelling and falling onto the ground, John collapsing. Before he could get a grasp on himself, he was the only left standing, unharmed in the fog. He reached outwards towards the two, his hand shaking slightly. Go, leave them. You'll be better off alone. Maxwell pulled his hand back, surprised by the inner voice. These were his friends, the only people he had left. How could he just walk away? No, shut it. Realizing that he was wasting time, he steadied himself, and moved forward.
First, he approached John, who was laying barely conscious on the ground. Shifting uneasily, he grasped the boy's shoulders, and began pulling him across the ground. Grunting with effort, he forgot how much work dragging something actually took; although, he had never been the strongest person, either, and it's not like John was a child. Letting out one last sigh, he dropped the other male next to Beth, glancing between the two. Ugh, what now? Frowning, Maxwell bent, tentatively reaching towards the girl. Instantly, however, he retreated, realizing that she was still slightly conscious. Instead he checked on John. Putting the back of his palm to the male's forehead, he realized that he too was still awake, though only on a whim. Standing, he crossed his arms, unsure of what to do. This is an alright post. The minimum, though. In your case, however, you might want to leave the other people/person with more to work with, but this is only for demonstration purposes.
Now, for some BS.- Spoiler:
I walk in the room, smileing. The day is warm, with the sun shineing. I pull out my phone, and procede to check Tumbler. My shiney whyte teeth can be seen slightley, cause I'm a vampire. There stained with blood. Plopping down, i look at everybody else, laugheing. One; it does not meet the length standard, it does not even partially meet it. Two, the spelling and grammar is ALL wrong. Do you see the problem with the there/they're/theirs? If not, you desperately need a lesson in grammar, my not-so-fine sir or miss. | |
