Unless the visual hint is self-explanatory or well-established (e.g. USING CAPS FOR LOUDNESS) you will need a paragraph or more to convey that the lilac text is sensual and the underlined rings with echo. It will be easier to give textual descriptions of the nuances than to first establish the meaning of the notation and then follow up with text in that notation. | |

What about in the case of writing (non long form) articles, or forum posts in an intelligent-user, but informal topic (where you still want to be as communicative/conversational/dynamically eloquent as possible)? In these cases, mood is not important (like yes it obviously is in long form, both fiction and non fiction). Also, super cool suggestion about deviantart, I should try that :). | |
