all-caps and repeated letters?

Actually, "I'm CCCMMMINGGG!" would be best (not using full caps until the release word), isolating where the transition begins.

But, yes, there's a place to use this as well. I don't know why folks keep trying to hedge in the use of fiction that just isn't going to cooperate with that.

If I'm just emphasizing a word/phrase, I'll use italics, but if I want to show immediacy and high-emotion frenzy, I'll feel free to use all caps. Erotica is meant to pull arousal out of the reader, not win a Pulitzer Prize.

Shurley (I am serious…) it would be the IIIIING, where the repeated letter would be?

I’m reminded of Po in KUNG FU PANDA when he shouts that he loves Kung FUUUUUUU!

There’s no stretch on the KUNG only on the FUUUUU.

Not that any of this matters in the grand scheme of things but it’s certainly a debate that’s cheered me up today.

Debate? I thought it was just another thread of posters instructing writers how they should be writing just for them.

Nothing wrong with using all caps, just don't go overboard with it.

Easy rule of thumb: if it looks ridiculous in writing, it's probably ridiculous to read.

Emphasis is one thing, over exaggeration another.

"I'm cumming!!!" Is great. A few extra exclamation points sell the excitement well.

"I'm cummmmmiiiing!" - it's okay. Annoying, but not terrible.

"I'M CCCCUMMMINGGG!" - Stop. Just don't.

That's not what you said the other night

I had a jerk reply to my post in the THREAD with RANDOM CAPS and, in case I didn't understand how EARNEST his questions were, with three ??? Did I UNDERSTAND ???
I decided to delete my posts and so remove myself from the stink of troll.

Of course. Brian Blessed.
