Dialogue Punctuation Cheat Sheet
This is just a friendly little guide on how to use punctuation in dialogue since (at least for me) this isn’t something that I was taught in school and had to learn on my own. That being said, I am not an expert! I don’t have an English degree or anything like that! I’m just an avid reader and writer and wanted to share what I have learned in a concise format.
A lot of this information is from “How to Write Dazzling Dialogue: The Fastest Way to Improve Any Manuscript” by James Scott Bell, “The Best Punctuation Book, Period” by June Casagrande, and “The Blue Book of Grammar and Punctuation” by Jane Straus, Lester Kaufman, and Tom Stern. If you’re able to get these books, I highly recommend them!
(Also, yes I used Disney quotes for most of my examples lol)
---
Rule 1: Dialogue punctuation includes the following:
Period
Comma
Question mark
Exclamation point
Em-dash
Ellipsis
All dialogue will include some sort of punctuation before the closing quotation. 
---
Rule 2: Punctuation goes inside the quotes.
Correct
“Do you want to build a snowman?” Anna asked.
Correct
“You can’t marry a man you just met,” Elsa said.
Incorrect
“Do you want to build a snowman”? Anna asked.
---
Rule 3: Don’t capitalize a pronoun used for dialogue attribution.
Correct
“I was hiding under your porch because I love you,” he said.
Incorrect
“I was hiding under your porch because I love you,” He said.
---
Rule 4: Capitalize for action beats.
Correct
“A llama? He’s supposed to be dead!” She slammed her fist on the table.
Incorrect 
“A llama? He’s supposed to be dead!” she slammed her fist on the table.
---
Rule 5: Use a comma when introducing a quotation, such as when dialogue attribution comes at the beginning. The first word of the dialogue is capitalized.
Correct
Scar leaned forward and said, “Run away, Simba.”
Incorrect
Scar leaned forward and said. “Run away, Simba.”
Incorrect
Scar leaned forward and said, “run away, Simba.”
---
Rule 6: Use single quotation marks for quotations within quotations. Punctuation goes inside both quotations (I’ve heard this can vary depending on country).
Correct
“My father said, ‘Everything the light touches is our kingdom.’”
Incorrect 
“My father said, ‘Everything the light touches is our kingdom’.”
---
Rule 7: If there are two or more sentences, the speaker attribution should be put before or after the first complete phrase.
Correct
Grandmother said, “Great. She brings home a sword. If you ask me, she should’ve brought home a man.”
Correct
“Great,” Grandmother said. “She brings home a sword. If you ask me, she should’ve brought home a man.”
Incorrect
“Great. She brings home a sword. If you ask me, she should’ve brought home a man,” Grandmother said.
(Note: This is a rule I break all the time, but I thought I would include it in this list anyway! Usually when the first sentence or two are very, very, short and go together, but they still need that “breath” of a dialogue tag in between. But it’s a good thing to be aware of!) 
---
Rule 8: Use commas to interrupt a complete sentence with a dialogue attribution. Don’t capitalize the next word after the comma. 
Correct
“Aren’t you,” Hercules said, “a damsel in distress?”
Incorrect
“Aren’t you,” Hercules said, “A damsel in distress?”
---
Rule 9: Use ellipses to illustrate a character trailing off, showing hesitation, or a pause.
“Aren’t you… a damsel in distress?”
---
Rule 10: Em-dashes can be used for interruptions, indicating simultaneous actions that do not cause an interruption, or a change in thought/tone. Don’t use dialogue attribution after an em-dash.
Another Person Interrupts
Correct
“He would never do anything to hurt me. He—”
Hades threw up his hands. “He’s a guy!”
Correct
Meg said, “He would never do anything to hurt me. He—”
Hades threw up his hands. “He’s a guy!”
Incorrect
“He would never do anything to hurt me. He—” Meg said.
Hades threw up his hands. “He’s a guy!”
Self Interruption
“I—” Hercules reached into his pocket and pulled out a small doll. “I’m an action figure!"
Simultaneous Action
“I am surrounded” — Scar dragged his paw over his face — “by idiots.” 
Change In Thought/Tone
“It’s not that you’re awkward. I’m awkward. You’re gorgeous — wait, what?”
---
Other Notes (these might just be my personal preferences, feel free to ignore)
Don’t use semi-colons in dialogue. Use a period instead.
Use exclamation points sparingly. Extremely sparingly. Maybe once per 10k words or even less.
After using an ellipsis, saying “he/she trailed off” is redundant. Just skip to the next action. The ellipsis already implies someone trailed off.
New speaker (or character action that serves as a response) = New paragraph.
“Said” should be your most commonly used dialogue tag. Any dialogue tag other than “said” or “asked” will stick out to the reader, and should be used sparingly.
If there is anything I missed, got wrong, or should add, PLEASE KINDLY LET ME KNOW! Again, I don’t have an English degree, I’m not a professional, and I’m actually a bit of a pea-brain, but these are the general rules that I know of and follow in my writing.

Chapter 1 of ?: Just Ask
An Egon Spengler x fem!reader Mini Series
Tumblr media
Prompt: Yet another Ghostbusters press event is nearing, and once the secret is spilled of a certain scientist who wants to take you as a date, you decide to investigate for yourself.
Warnings: None!
A/N: First chapter of a mini series I’m working on. Not sure if it’s actually going to be a mini series or a full fic, but we’ll see! Egon and reader have already kind of been flirting with each other. You’ve also been working at the firehouse for a few months now. Enjoy! <3
-
It was nearing dinner time, and Janine had clocked out early for a date with Louis. You bid her goodnight with a warm smile and wave, and settled yourself behind the receptionist desk, propping up your feet and opening up one of the books you sneaked from Egon’s collection in the lab.
Finally, some peace and quiet..
You hear your name shouted by Peter, who comes stomping down the staircase with Ray hot on his tail.
“Go cool your boyfriend! He won’t listen to us!”
“..He’s not my boyfriend, Venkman.” You specify blankly, only briefly peeking over the top of your book to eye him coming around the corner and walking up to the desk.
“It sure seems like he thinks so.” Ray pipes up, folding his arms.
“What did you guys do to upset him now?” You flip the page, ignoring Ray’s comment.
“We didn’t do anything. He’s just throwing one of those dramatic fits of his where he shuts completely down and doesn’t speak to anyone, other than snapping at Ray for eating all the Cheez-Its.”
“Valid reason to be upset.” You shrug it off. You and Egon are both extremely territorial over your snacks. So much so that you end up labeling them with a permanent marker so the other boys know what they can and can’t touch.
“Not the point. The point is, you need to go up there and work your..” Venkman wiggles his fingers. “Womanly magic to get him to break. It’s getting annoying.”
“What? Not having him correct your incorrect scientific so-called ‘knowledge’,” you throw up some air quotes, “That you just spew out on a whim is annoying?”
“YES.” Ray and Peter both speak at the same time.
You huff and slide the bookmark back into your book before shutting it, pulling your legs off the desk and setting the book down before you rise up.
“It could be that he’s upset because of the gala.” Ray murmurs, more in Peter’s direction.
You pause halfway to the steps, turning your head back around.
“What gala?”
The two of them look at you like they’re a deer in the headlights.
“Whoops.” Ray grits his teeth.
“The gala at the Museum of Natural History? The one you guys got invited to? What about it?”
“You see, he was going to-” Peter starts talking, before Ray sends a fist to his gut from the side.
“Peter!”
“What?” He throws his hands up. “She’s gonna find out soon enough!”
Ray rolls his eyes and grumbles, looking away as Peter rubs the spot on his stomach before continuing.
“He was going to,” His voice lowered a few notches. “He was going to ask you to be his date. But I’m convinced he’s having some emotional conflict and mood swings because he doesn’t think you want to go with him.”
You stand there, in slight shock. “He told you this?” You perk a brow.
“He tells us a lot, kid.” Ray speaks up again, folding his arms once more and leaning against the desk with a slight tilt of his head.
“Of course, ‘bro-code’ or whatever. I get it. I’ll ask him about it-”
“NO!” They both stand swiftly.
“Why?” You stop again, at the bottom of the steps.
“That man will literally, and I mean literally, have our heads if he finds out we told you about that.” Peter pleads.
You go back and forth glaring at both of them, rolling your eyes before sighing.
“Fine, fine. I won’t ask about it.” You slowly start making your way up the steps to the next floor. “But please, give us some privacy. Do not eavesdrop.”
“That’s the spirit, go rub one out for your man!” Peter whoops, and you shake your head.
“You’re disgusting, Venkman.”
-
At the top of the steps, the soft music from a boombox on the kitchen table grows louder, and you spot Egon, with his back facing you. He’s at the corner workbench, hunched over a microscope.
You slowly approach, tugging your shirt sleeves over your hands and folding your arms. You admire him for a moment, how he’s so focused, his hands subtly turning the knobs of the machine to scope in on the slide he’s examining.
“Spengler,” You speak up, and Egon doesn’t even jump, he just murmurs your name in acknowledgement as he stays put in his hunched position.
“Are you doing alright?” You walk up to the bench, leaning against the corner, tilting your head slightly.
“Of course, why wouldn’t I be alright?” He speaks again, finally rising up and turning to scribble down some notes in a nearby open notebook.
“Just checking in..” You murmured defensively, approaching even further to stand next to him. “What are you working on?”
“Logging ectoplasm samples,” He turns back from the notebook, catching your gaze for a short moment before hunching back down over the microscope. “Could you help me put them into the system?”
Egon knows how much you genuinely enjoy assisting him in the lab, and you’ve told him to always ask if he wants help.. Or just wants some company.
“Can I see it first?” You motion to the microscope.
“Sure.” He nods, stepping back and giving you space to see the slide for yourself.
You step up to the microscope, squinting one eye so you can see into the scope. The plasm is moving on the slide, the cells wiggling ever so slightly. You stand alone for a moment, before you feel Egon’s hand come to gently rest on your waist.
“What can you see?” He asks, a bit softer.
“Well, it looks like it’s doing a little dance!” You giggle, still intrigued by the slime.
“It’s Psychomagnotheric, which means it responds to human emotional states around it. Positive and negative.”
“You must be pissed or something, cause it’s moving a lot-”
“Aaaand that’s enough of that.” You feel both of his hands on your waist now, pulling you back from the microscope.
“Maan, I was just kidding!” You pout, throwing your hands up and laughing.
“Grab the computer, please.” He shoos you away, and you put a hand up, shaking your head before you spin around and snatch the chunky laptop off the workbench across from you, turning and sliding into one of the swivel chairs at the table before opening the laptop. Egon slides over his open notebook, full of listings and observations of the slime you had looked at.
You immediately get to work putting in the notes into the logging system. You feel an itch in your head to bring up the gala.
“I heard that gala at the museum is in a few days. Are you going?” You ask. Start vague.
Egon freezes at the microscope, rising up to look at you.
“Are you?” He asks in return, not answering your question.
“That depends, are you?” You shoot back, perking a brow and pausing your typing.
You swear you see a slight tint of pink on Egon’s cheeks, as he shifts and leans against the workbench.
“I’ll go if you go.” He states as casually as possible, even though his discomfort is visible.
“I was gonna go if you went.” You shrug, trying to making it as relaxed as possible.
“We could go together.” He adds, his eyes not leaving yours.
You glance down at the computer for a brief moment before looking back up at him, taking your turn for the heat to creep up to your cheeks. You silently nod.
“Are you going to wear a tux?” You ask before your brain can stop you.
Egon tilts his head, a subtle smirk playing at his lips.
“Why? Does it matter to you?”
“No, no! I’m just.. curious. If it’s black tie, then I’m just.. just curious!”
“Curious.. right. Well, I don’t go to many social events, but perhaps I’ll make an exception and see what I can find.” He keeps his eyes on you, folding his arms across his chest- the smirk still stamped to his face.
An exception?
You nod. “Sounds good. We’ll go together.” You state again, setting it in stone- sending him a smirk of your own before looking back down at the computer, returning back to your work.
Egon eyes you for a few more seconds, noticing how the light of the desk lamp hit your face.. Jesus.
He quickly turned back to the microscope before he could get caught gawking over you, returning to the task at hand as well.
Both of you continued your work, and you were first to call it a night- around 2 AM. Egon’s hand brushed over yours as you handed him back his notebook, and he bid you goodnight- watching you walk away and disappear into the sleeping quarters.
Little did you know, he was sharing your same thoughts that night- imagining what the other was going to look like at the gala. But another thought teased your mind as you fell asleep.
If the slime reacted to positive and negative emotions from humans..
What else would it react to?

ppau headcanons except it’s my au #2 ft. Meiko
As usual thank you to @aryasage for listening to my ramblings and adding yours. 1 braincell is better than none.
Meiko finds out he can shape-shift by accident, just a little after the events of “one day you’ll wish you hadn’t”. He’s brushing his teeth or something, spacing out, worrying about this and that, when he just casually imagined what he would look like with a different haircut and when he looks back in the mirror he suddenly has that haircut.
He screams. Loud. It takes him 30 minutes to change back and figure out what’s going on and 2 hours to convince Scout that he was just imagining the scream of pure terror that just came from the bathroom.
“Eh you know what, I haven’t slept in 3 days. I was probably imagining things.”
“…what did you do to make Jiejie mad this time”
Viper is the first to find out about this because Meiko figures out that he somehow heals better as a cat. I have been informed by AryaSage that there is a scientific basis for this. The more you know…
Shape-shifting is really hard to master because unlike people like Canyon, Meiko has way more alternate forms and they’re not a true part of him like Canyon’s lion form is. Meiko spends a lot of time practicing (with the help of his teammates).
Meiko transforms into Jiejie and immediately tries to fool his team into thinking he really IS Jiejie, but to his surprise, no one believes him for a second.
“What gave it away?”
“Bro you forgot the SCAR”
Jiejie, from the corner: also my nose isn’t that big wtf Meiko
Meiko absolutely uses his powers to fuck with his teammates 24/7 whether by turning into them or by turning into animals
Flandre is forced to call an emergency Team Meeting to get Meiko to chill out because Jiejie wakes up to a tarantula on his face and almost has a heart attack. (Thus almost giving Scout a heart attack.) Everyone tries their Absolute Best to keep a straight face on the entire time.
EDG end up with a new inside joke in which any of them (including Meiko himself once he hears about it) point to any remotely living thing and go "MEIKO??"
There are a lot of sleep-deprived discussions.
Jiejie: So if Meiko eats beef and then turns into a cow, is he a cannibal? Scout: Well he's not really a cow in his heart right? Jiejie: Since when has that mattered? Would a furry eating a human not be cannibalism then? Viper: Holy shit it is 7am would you two shut up I'm trying to sleep Scout: well at least you CAN sleep Jiejie: Viper: Scout: Flandre: Meiko: Okay wait but Jiejie has a point—
They try to keep Meiko's abilities on the down low until Worlds, at which point he goes nuts on their opponents for the Element of Surprise.
Combined with Flandre's smoke and Jiejie's mist, they can easily separate team members, at which point Meiko pretends to be an opponent's injured teammate. As soon as they get close, he stabs them. As you do.
Even if he can't imitate an opponent perfectly, seeing a scuffed version of yourself on the other side of the battlefield usually stunlocks you for a second or two.
Very few people figure out that Meiko is a shape-shifter without fighting him a lot, but some people do figure it out.
At Perkz's wedding, Meiko crawls under a table, and a second later, a cat comes out and jumps onto Viper. Team Liquid are understandably confused by this development.
Meiko puts on a one-man play at some point just for his teammates. They all almost die laughing before the end of the first act.
Once he gets better at it, he starts shifting almost on instinct, which often makes it hard for him to hide what he's thinking about.
"Meiko stop worrying about Viper he'll be fine in Korea"
"who said I was worrying about Viper???"
"you are LITERALLY Viper right now don't even try me"
"oh fuck"
