> Explain your goofy text, and offer a reprieve from it.
So you may have noticed the blue Courier text in John's comments! Our former Rose wrote an excellent post explaining all this some time ago, so I'll just link to it. But the short version is that this is just How Homestuck Works. Observe:
[Your name is JOHN EGBERT, and you are 13 years old. Your narration, just like all Homestuck narration, is done in second person, with as much humor and self-awareness as possible. You speak aloud to demonstrate your color.]
this is the way i talk, in blue Courier!
no capital letters, but i don't have any really weird quirks like the trolls do.
EB: when i'm typing on the computer, my text will have "EB:" in front of it.
EB: that is short for my screen name, ectoBiologist!
When I'm threading outside Homestuck cast, I generally skip the second-person narration, because it can get a little confusing. But I still use the blue text for his speech, to stay consistent with the rest of the cast. If that bothers you, though, I'm happy to leave the font tags out! Just comment here with who you play (because I'm terrible at keeping track), and I'll use ordinary text whenever I thread with you! (Comments are screened, so it'll just be between you and me.)
Also, if you're not of my cast, but you don't mind the second-person narration, feel free to comment about that and I'll use it with you. |D Just covering all bases here.
