Well, Des, I don't like religion, any one of them, very much. This would just be for a story that I'll be writing. I'm actually looking for a map of the earth before the year 1960 that shows the religion of each places. Most of the maps I found have been recent ones. Anyway, if I don't find anything, I'll just use those. It's fiction anyway.

I'm not really sure if this is the right forum to post this topic on. Anyway...
I'm researching something right now for a story I'm working on, and I don't know where to look. Google seems fine, but I'm tired of filtering through all those links. Does anyone here know where I can find a graph of the religions on earth before the year 1960? Like a map of the earth that shows the religion of each places?
Thanks in advance.
Rad :)

So, Rad, would you say this question got answered, or what? LOL
I've used both in the past.
Yes. Uh, somewhat. The general consensus so far is that it's okay to use capital letters or italics, as long as they're used sparingly, in that they don't lose their effect with the frequent use.
As a reader, I don't really mind them, and they do enhance my "reading experience". But I found that if I do the same thing when I write, I'm unsure whether I should, because as I have said, it looks awkward to me.

Um... I haven't really edited anything except my stories, but if your definition of a beta-reader would be someone who could check (in)consistencies and do spell checks, then I think I could take a stab at your story. (Anything to read ahead of everyone.
) However, I remind you that I haven't beta-read or edited for anyone but myself yet, though I do know some, if not all, grammar rules. -
Wow... thanks, you guys. That helped a lot. So the key words are: use sparingly. Thanks again!

When I emphasize words/phrases in a paragraph, I usually "write" the words in italics. But when it comes to dialogue, I'm really confused with what to do when a character shouts/screams. Obviously, writing them in italics wouldn't work. I've seen a lot of online writers who write them IN CAPITAL LETTERS. I've tried this once, and it looks awkward to me. So I'm wondering how you guys do this. How do you write those dialogue where your characters are screaming?

With freedom comes responsibility. The jury probably saw that picketing a funeral wouldn't be against print, what is written as the constitution. But they're humans who have a sense of what they think is morally right and wrong, even of those aren't written in the constitution.

Well, a girl, at last! Not that I'm looking for one.

Some stories are best written in first person; some in third. Superiority (as well as inferiority) is only intended for livestocks.
What I like about first person is the things that the main character do not know. Besides that, the story would always have a personal feel to it.
What I like about third person is that you can focus on any character you want. Also, it's easier to write funny scenes in third person. I also feel more comfortable writing dark stories in this POV.
When reading, I don't really prefer any POV.

I don't think anything is going to happen unless everybody changes from seeing the worst in their neighbors, and I'm not just talking about America.

Yeah, I figured my definition of Intuitive Aptitude might not be the correct one. But defining it like I did allowed me to create some whimsy, and that was fun, so I went with it.
When I was young, my favorite super hero was a nerdy sort of radio station boy news reporter named Billy Batson who screamed Shazam every time he got in trouble with the evil, and bald, Dr. Savannah, and was struck by a lightening bolt. I think they do these things with a little bit more sophistication today.

Believe it or not, I remember watching Shazzam when I was a kid. Didn't know he's been around for decades. I thought he was a variation of Aladin's genie.

I've read this in the other thread, but it still made me laugh.

Somebody was impatient!Nice series going on here. I hope somebody starts writing soon.

Hey... TR said to choose one. Definitely telekinesis for me. Actually, if I could fight like Jet Li, I wouldn't need any superpower anymore.

I don't have the words for that. I didn't want to laugh, but I did.

I agree with Caylor. That was certainly a flash!

Oh Kapitano, you should really consider submitting your stories for the home page. Everything's great so far. And you seem to get better with every story. I really like the twist with this one.

This is great, Camy. And as they always say, the only bullet Jace has is the fact that Celia doesn't know. David only has to 'fess up. And I think that he will, seeing as he's not really happy with what Jace is doing.

They write very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very redundant sentences.
Ouch!
Very guilty,

Hi Rad,
Nice to see you here again. I wasn't stealing your credit card number; you were giving it to me, remember?
Man, this is weird. You should change your name.
