[livejournal.com profile] green_grrl wrote such a wonderful promo for the comm that I'm just reposting what she said:

Confused about commas? Keep getting red ink from your beta on pronoun antecedents? English isn't your first language, and you want to know the difference between "have" and "got"? Never understood what the heck a dangling participle was? There's a new comm in town: [livejournal.com profile] fandom_grammar. Just drop a comment with your query about writing, grammar or language here, and your Fandom Grammarians will post an answer.



The comm went officially live on Friday with [livejournal.com profile] green_grrl's first post, a Friday Feature, Writing Tips: Epithets. Head on over, check out the comm, marvel at [livejournal.com profile] roniabirk's graphics, and learn something about writing.

I have some questions about the grammar comm and don't really know where to ask them, so I'll ask here...

1. If I have something due this Wednesday, it will be posted on the following Monday, yes? If so, should it me marked in certain way, like, with "Monday Answer" or something?

2. I hope style manuals for research papers are acceptable sources for capitalization rules and such as all the research I've found seems to lead back to such manuals. Advise me?

Asking anywhere I'll see it is usually good (also, you can post directly to [livejournal.com profile] fan_grammarians).

1. Yes it will be posted on the following Monday. Just put in the subject line "Answer: [question]." I posted my Answer to [livejournal.com profile] fan_grammarians as "Monday Answer" to keep everyone reading for beta purposes as to what it was.

If you like, post to [livejournal.com profile] fan_grammarians on Wednesday for beta help and then once you've gotten that, post to [livejournal.com profile] fandom_grammar on Friday or Saturday.

2. Style manuals for research papers are pretty good sources for capitalization rules, if you ask me; that's usually where I go.
