So, Capt, if the TOC says that a certain topic is supposed to be on a certain post, and we don't find it there, does that mean it needs to be written? There isn't any list of topics to be covered; otherwise, I could post/write something. :P

A good guide, but I found at least one mistake. In the horror section, Whitewolf492 said:
"Blood dripping out of his exposed liver and intestines, Keith screamed loudly as the zombie pulled out organs and ate them, chewing on his intestines like they were some kind of meat pasta."
It gets comical. I've seen passages written every bit as ineptly as that one, probably more so (though I have to say, I really like that metaphor about the intestines. *keeps*).
When talking in parentheses, he's refering to the section after the last comma in the excerpt, however he calls is a metaphor, and I belive that it is actually a simile, due to the fact that he uses the word like.

I'll be on the look out for more errors. Time to check the grammer section. :P

Just so everyone knows, I am still planning on finishing this. It will not die off like any other project. I'm set to do this thing, and I'll do it if it kills me.
I'll be contacting people who need to help me out with their stuff soon.
