Formatting Rules
Update:
We have changed the primary narration tense to present tense. For a more detailed (though still incomplete) explanation, see the baka-tsuki forum thread, post #164 (page 11).
Currently, the following rules apply:
- Narration and thoughts are written in present tense.
- …Except for obvious exceptions such as flashbacks and the like. Let your common sense be your guide.
- There is no longer any need to distinguish Direct thoughts from regular narration. If you don't know what Direct thoughts are, don't worry about it.
Punctuation & Style Rules (WIP)
- Em-dashes (—) without spaces should be used for separating thoughts and marking unfinished thoughts.
- Instances for which no rules have been defined are to be dealt with appropriately by using normal quotes, italics or no special treatment at all.
- Box names are capitalized, but are no longer to be placed in quotes.
- Special words are handled as follows:
| Original | Literally | Actually | Volume(s) |
|---|---|---|---|
| ”願い” / ”箱” / ”所有者” / ”O” | 'wish' / 'box' / 'owner' / 'O' | wish / Box / Owner / O | All |
| 『Name』 | 'Name' | "Name" / Name / Name (depending on situation) | All |
| 【僕自身】 | [myself] | "myself" / 'myself' (depending on bracket state) | V2 |
| 【王】 | [King] | King (all game terms: monospace font)
|
V3&V4 |
