Doing stuff I probably shouldn't be

Italics are for internal monologue, when a character is literally speaking in their mind. Not for everything that isn't audible dialogue.

Several professional authors use italics for whispers or when a character mutters under their breath. There is nothing wrong with using italics for inaudible dialogue.

If you'd read the story you'd have noticed that they used it for EVERYTHING that wasn't dialogue. That's my point.

10796638
How did you proofread this and not notice?

10796598
This is my first fic, I'm still learning. I was going to stop italicizing everything for my next fic.

10796652
That's fine. Pointing out a problem was not meant to be an attack.

He did notice but it was already too far along in the editing process to go back and un-italicize everything, who knows maybe one day ill go back and fix it.

Was going to say a comment saying basically the same thing but you beat me to it.

I tend to check the comments first for spoilers on new stories as a way to avoid some of the really bad ones and the way your first statement was written allowed it to be misinterpreted. Thank you for clarifying.

I assume this was made with some word processor. Just CTRL-A to select all text, and CTRL-I to set it all italic, then once more to make none of it italic. I doubt there's more than a line or two that should actually be italicized.

Are you going to continue this? I would very much like to see just how deep Rarity's 'dates' with Gemini get.

It's in the works! I'm hoping to release chapter two at some point this year.

Believe me, we're barely scratching the surface :raritywink:

Ohh, I'll be waiting...with interest...

I've been waiting so long that I think I've lost count!

The next part will come eventually! Things have been a bit... Turbulent... To say the least, but we're working on it!

When will the sequel finally come out?! Dear author, I don't know what to say! Your attitude towards readers is simply unacceptable! Such a long wait makes my heart burst out of my chest!
If I had such an opportunity, I would like to support you both from the motivated and financial side. But to my deepest regret, this is not possible. So I can only wish you good luck in your work.
:raritywink:
