Utsuro no Hako:Guidelines

Formatting Rules
Update:
For several reasons, we decided to change the main narrating tense to present tense. Check for the forum, post #164 (page 11).
So as of now, these rules apply:
- Narration and thoughts are to be told in present tense.
- Except for obvious exceptions such as flashbacks and the like. Let your common sense guide you on this one.
- There is no more need to distinguish Direct thoughts from regular narration. If you don't know what Direct thoughts are, don't bother.
Punctuation & Style Rules (WIP)
- Em-dashes (—) without spaces are to be used for separating thoughts and marking unfinished thoughts. (What's most common?)
- Special words are to be dealt with like so:
| Original | Literally | Actually | Volume(s) |
|---|---|---|---|
| ”願い” / ”箱” | 'wish' / 'box' | 'wish' / 'box' ¦ 'Wish' / 'Box' ¦ Wish / Box | All |
| 『Name』 | 'Name' | 'Name' / Name | All |
| 【僕自身】 | [myself] | myself / ? | V2 |
| 【王】 | [King] | King / king (all game terms -> monospace font)
|
V3&V4 |
Instances for which no rules has been defined are to be dealt with appropriately by using normal quotes, italics or nothing at all.
