![]() ![]() It's not a huge deal to me personally and won't stop me reading but if anyone was wondering what the technical correct rules were these are them! :) There are more rules when it comes to including action other than speaking (action tags) but these are the really important basics that I see a lot of fics don't stick to. "You better take them all off right now." The character says two separate sentences so there is a full stop after said. "Those clothes would look better on the floor," he said. Notice the two commas, one inside the quote marks and one outside. "Those clothes," he said, "would look better on the floor." Notice this is one sentence split by one dialogue tag. Notice also the dialogue still starts with a capital and ends in a full stop. He looked her over and said, "Those clothes would look better on the floor." Notice when the said (or any other dialogue word) comes before the actual words spoken out loud the comma comes before the dialogue. I know this seems counterintuitive but this is the rule and is the same for question marks. "Those clothes would look better on the floor!" he said. Notice the comma inside the quotation mark and a small h on he. Hey guys, I was just reading through the smut people submitted to an earlier thread where OP kindly volunteered to read and give feedback on people's smut scenes and I noticed quite a few of the fics had dialogue which wasn't formatted quite correctly and so I thought I'd make this quick post for anyone who wasn't sure how to do it! All the examples used here are the most common dialogue tag formatting which I have double checked in British and American novels. I've just had comments about British English differences and action tags etc which was never the focus of this post. This is not an exhaustive description or list of every dialogue situation. I just wanted to make something quick and useful. ![]() Hi! Just want to preface this by saying this is a quick guide to the most common way to format dialogue with dialogue tags.
