It's on the grammar, just going into a little more detail. I also explain some uses that have not been described there.
Like the dash, for example. Another is the ellipses, which I know a lot of people don't know how to properly use.
I just need Capt's permission, and I will type it up immediately.

"Another is the ellipses, which I know a lot of people don't know how to properly use."
You're suggesting that you should be allowed to submit a piece on grammar after posting that?

What do you mean?
EDIT:
I realize that may have sounded bad, but I had no intentions of offending anyone.
I only meant that a lot of people (including people outside of the forums) aren't using the ellipses correctly.
I apologize if that came out wrong.

I mean someone who makes such an obvious, basic and offensive grammatical error as you have done should not be allowed to teach others about the field of grammar.

Sorry, I still have things to learn. Could you point out my mistake?
You sound angry, so I apologize for anything I may have done to upset you.

I'm not angry at all; in fact, I think it's rather funny.
Your error is the split infinitive - the worst error anyone can make.

I thought that sounded odd.

Genzen, if you still feel like writing a piece on grammar, I'll talk to Poller about what you can do.
Brent, I'll see about you as well. ^_^

Capt, I just noticed something: there's no section telling how to write a good character bio.
If you were to ask me if this belonged in the guide, I'd answer "yes." After all, it's a large part of many stories. I've seen good bios, and I've seen some that aren't so good...
Also, there's a "reserved" spot on the page dedicated to characters. This may be a great addition to the section.
