[QUOTE="Beholder, post: 256133, member: 14640"] Dashes are cleaner and you can imply who said it right before the dash. If you just described the character, an image of the character stays in mind when the phrases come. No need to make the text into a dense wall where you lose track of where you were reading. Sparse style don't waste any more bytes and prevent people from skimming. (Describe the visuals and other sensory impressions) John leaned against the doorframe. - Are you ready for the big presentation tomorrow? (Add thoughts in between for dramatic pause) Sarah looked up from her notes and replied. - I think so, but I'm a bit nervous. [/QUOTE]
