Okay sharks and sharkettes, I know this is kind of a dry topic, but it's an important one. Since we have so many writers, there are a few consistency rules we're going to have to set.
The first one is whether we want the presence of a narrator or not. Since a narrator is a voice that must be consistent across all possible routes, I am against having one for the aforementioned reason of so many different authors. Any sort of action can be implied through simple animation and sound effects, and of course through the dialogue itself. If we want to show time passing, we can have succinct recaps such as: "Three hours of studying later..."
Another one is the voice of Scuba-kun. I don't think the options should be too hard to keep consistent, but if there's a consistency question about him, it should probably be asked in the Characters thread. Also to this end, I think all of our work should be transparent. I recommend that we have another sub-category under Writing Discussion where each person can post the writing they've done so far for their particular plot line and open it up to criticism.
If there are any other concerns about the style, form, or consistency, put 'em here.
