A new one for me: one character texting another.

Any pointers on how to format it for Lush?

Hello, I have only done it once. I just put: I received a text from Mary saying, and then put the text message in.

Probably not the help you needed, sorry. Regards, Verity
Be nice to each other

Thanks for your reply, Verity. I had more of a back and forth in mind. Just like normal dialogue.

Had thought of doing it like you would a script/play. Or doing away with name tags, each line in bold or italics. Just wonder if there is already an etiquette to it.

No etiquette really. So long as it's consistent and easily distinguishable from normal speech. Italics works fine, imo.

I usually refer people to one of Ashleigh's stories...

I find the easiest way is to format it the same as direct speech. But italics will do nicely too. smile

And there was me thinking they used to write tiny words onto tiny pieces of paper and then let them flutter to the floor for the person they wanted to TEXT to pick it up as they followed behind!

Out would come the eyeglass and a smile would appear on their faces.

Of course, the next text would then take a day or so.

I used to be a pervert. In here, I'm normal!

Watch this space...She is really - cumming soon!
