Series Introduction


    Welcome, and thank you for reading the Star Fight series! Before we begin, I''d like to introduce you to a few of the writing oddities you''ll find in reading my series. Such as;


    Formatting: I like to write in a “Unique” format to other writers. Instead of having blocks of text with dialogue inside and between them, I like to have descriptions and actions sorted into blocks of text and dialogue to be scripted out between those blocks. Here is an example of how I do it:


    The man stood up with a smile on his face and looked at the woman''s blue eyes.


    Man: Good day to you.


    Woman: To you, as well.


    This special formatting may take some time to get used to, but I would sincerely ask that you try to get used to it. Once you do, I believe it makes dialogue-heavy stories easier to read, which is why I use it.

    Alignment: In special cases, the formatting may change from being aligned on the left side of the page to being aligned on the right side of the page. This is a rare stylistic choice that means that your point of view is switching back and forth between one scene and another. As this makes things tougher to read, you may not see it often.


    Symbols: Occasionally, you will see text that comes between certain symbols. If you see text that is between two *Asterisks* it means that someone is doing something as they speak, such as *Coughing.* If you see dialogue that is between two (Parenthesis) it means that someone is thinking something and nobody else can hear it. If you see dialogue that comes between two “Quotation Marks” it means that someone is quoting someone else. Not all quotes will be cited on the page they are written. These marks may also be used when someone is being sarcastic.


    Colors: In special cases, you may find text that is more colorful than usual. This is a rare stylistic choice that has a different purpose based on what is happening in the story. It is typically done to emulate the look of text on an old computer.


    Lists: You will sometimes see information given in a list format. This is used to either truncate the amount of text needed to give you information, or to show what a particular list looks like within the story being told.


    Fonts: You may see the font of the text change based on what the story needs at the time. The Arial font may be used to portray text on a computer, or a phone. The Comic Sans MS font may be used to portray a handwritten letter, or a handwritten diary page.


    If you read through these explanations, thank you. I hope these oddities grow on you. Without further delay, let''s get you to the stories!
