CubexCursedxCurious:Style and Terminology Guidelines

Style and terminology guidelines for C³ - Cube x Cursed x Curious.

Feel free to offer suggestions on the Talk Page.

Narrative Voice

Narration is written in third person, past tense, except for the occasional interjected thought.

Sections Within Chapters

The novel actually divides its sections using the † symbol, but numbered parts will be used to facilitate editing and updating.

Line Spacing

Single blank lines between paragraphs.

Two blank lines before and after emphasized sentences (these sentences are preceded and succeeded by a single blank line in the original text).

Three blank lines for scene changes.

Image Placement

Unless there are compelling reasons, images will be positioned where page breaks occur in the original Japanese text.

Chapter Titles

Chapter titles in the C³ series consist of two parts: a title in Japanese accompanied by an English quote. The Japanese titles (translated) will be used on the main page. The English quote will be included in the title on the wiki page of the chapter itself, unmodified except for blatant misspellings.

General Terms

Japanese	Rōmaji	English
免罪符機構	menzaihukikou	Indulgence Disk
禍具(ワース)	Furigana reads "Waasu" kanji means "tool of disaster/misfortune"	Wathe Rationale: wathe means "peril" or "danger" in Middle English.[1] Considered but rejected: warth -- means "river bank" or "wide meadow" waas -- Dutch for "mist" or "haze" waffe -- German for "weapon," but pronunciation only fits when voiced by Google translate Better suggestions are greatly welcomed.
