I was waiting until the server move happened before putting this up. I'd have gone crazy if it had been lost.

Anyway - here's the place for you to look for help with your plots! Post your questions here.

And hey... all you people already over 50K? YES I'M LOOKING AT YOU! Get in here and help these people out now that you don't have anything else to do! *grin*

A random question or two...a bit late in my writing to ask, but the editor can go back and fix it later.

If you're refering to a king, would you capitlize things like "My Lord", "My Liege", "Your Majesty"?
What about if you're referring to a religious leader as "Your Grace"?
And finally...if you're referring to a specific person, such as the chamberlain (as in "the chamberlain smiled") should that be capitallized or not?

If anyone has a clue, or knows of a site where I can find it, that would be great!

There's a list if you scroll down a bit.
So, I'd say yes for the lord/liege/majesty because it's a form of address.

I'd say no for 'the chamberlain' because its description and not address. Like you wouldn't capitalize 'aunt' in 'my aunt Tilly', but you would if you were addressing her with 'Aunt Tilly!' I don't actually know, though. -_-;;

*and, you know, my point for that 'no' for the 'My aunt, Tilly' thing really only works if the comma's actually there. Sorry.

That is perfect! Just what I need! Will give the editor something else to do in December, lol! Thank you!
