Do you remember what I said about knowing your audience?

Werewolf OOC. Not All Sphere OOC.

But anyway, he brings up a good point - I find that the more commentary you get about IC posts you pour a lot of effort into, the better of a writer you become.

I'll be the stuck-up English Major and say "the more writing you do, the better writer you become."

True, encouraging remarks from one's peers does help to get you to write more often, so it's not entirely inaccurate.

I'm hesitant to put much in the way of constructive criticism, or advice on how I think someone could improve their writing, in my replies. It's all just for fun, in the end.

But, if that's what someone was looking for/wanted, I'd PM any critiques, rather than post them. I don't have a big problem with someone publicly blasting my spelling/grammar, but some people might.

Well DUH. ;D You can't get better at something if you don't do it often. In addition to that, however, is where my comment comes in. True, the people you ask may not know the right answer, but that's true of anything you do. The more you ask, the more you learn, the easier it is to tell when someone really knows their stuff and when they're just full of it. Then you know when you're off and when you're on...

Dude, I'mma blast you! ... As soon as I find a misspelt word, or something.

Eh, it happens. I generally write my posts on the boards; for some reason cutting and pasting from Word sometimes screws up the line spacing, so I don't really have spellcheck.

Whatchoo talk'n 'bout?! Thar be ah spellcheker on tha boards!
