BioWare Hiring Writers by Contest

AsiNisiMasa writes "GamaSutra reports: BioWare Announces Writing Contest For Industry Jobs. For all of you with some modding experience with the hopes of breaking into the gaming industry, here is your chance. For you less confident modders, there is still hope. From BioWare's official contest page: 'When hiring writers, BioWare looks only at your writing; not the areas, not the special scripting, and not the combat. We evaluate only the characters, the dialogue, the plot, the non-linear structure, and the flow and pace of the story.'"

Re:Is punctuation judged too?

[dgatwood]

The second half is not a clause. A colon is not appropriate either, because while the second part is a list, the first part does not introduce the list. The proper punctuation here is an em dash, which introduces---and, by the way, terminates---a parenthetical expression.

Just trying to be pedantic---this is, after all, an article on writing....
