Punctuating Dialogue: A Cheat Sheet:


This was originally written for a GI Joe fan fiction writers' workshop I was a part of. I've since adapted it for Transformers fandom. Which basically involved changing GI Joe quotes to Transformers quotes.

Source: Writing Dialogue by Tom Chiarella. Story Press: Cincinnati, OH, 1998. The bits in bold are direct quotes from Mr. Chiarella's book; quotes used are taken from Rob Powers’s collections of Transformers quotes (specifically the G1 and Beast Wars cartoon and the G1 comics lists). Anything else is written by dunmurderin.
