So, to go with the thread on how training works, we thought it would be nice to offer a few tips - just highlight one or two of the major mistakes that most newcomers fall into.
It isn't supposed to be snobby or nasty, but just to help with the entire process and produce the best results for the fed as a whole .
1. When writing anything - don't just repeatedly call the two wrestlers by their given names (eg. Kane). It becomes repetitive and a little boring - we encourage nicknames (eg. The Big Red Machine) among the wrestlers to make posts easier to read and more enjoyable for everyone involved.
2. It's common sense, but re-reading your work before and immediately after you post; it's easy to miss a few small typos or grammar mistakes so looking over it once more can make sure that it's perfect (even then, one or two isn't an issue - but as soon as mistakes start making it difficult to read your work then it will become an issue).
3. Balance the action throughout a match. Don't make every move a superplex through a table right from the off. Pace the action and build what happens - entice people to keep reading right until the end to see how the bout finishes.
4. Balance out your description and your commentary. Use Ross and Heyman as a way of describing the action. Using the colour commentators for quick paced action is best. Use description to convey certain emotions or very precise moments of action. Too much description and the piece becomes wordy very quickly, not enough and it seems boring and grey.
5. The Golden Rule - "Do unto others as you would have done unto you". If you write in every match, your opponent is destroyed and humiliated then other roster members will very quickly be on your case AND you will find that they will do the same to your character too. Treat other people's creations as you would yours and you should be fine.
