brevity is the soul of wit -- life in 2_lines
it sets me free
About:[HOUSE RULES]

This is plain, simple and painless.

1. You are allowed two lines per entry. No more, no less. TWO lines is TWO FULL SHORT sentences with TWO end punctuations (THAT DOES NOT MEAN FOUR SHORT SENTENCES ON TWO LINES) and a line break after each sentence. A line break is your best friend. USE IT! Brevity is best aiming to only fill view page.

Please go read my entry http://babybeaver.livejournal.com/735592.html for visuals and to make sure you have understood Rule #1.

2. Two posts per day; per person.

3. Any and all subjects. With that said, it doesn't mean that we're a dumping ground. Articulation and meaningfulness goes a long way. Think before you post.

4. Speaking of subjects, subject lines should be 1-7 words long. All entries should have a subject line for quick referencing later on. Yes, when you type a full line in the subject it is cheating.

5. RICH TEXT FORMAT IS NOT ALLOWED! Text should be 12 point font and a single color. Don't try to cheat with smaller fonts. We won't think you're cute.

6. No advertising/linking other communities or websites.

7. I have no qualms about removing anyone and any entries. Failure to comply will result in the deletion of the entry and repeated offenders will be permanently removed from the community.

8. Please play nice and have fun.


That's not much to ask, right?


[BREVITY is the WORD]
It is with words as with sunbeams.
The more they are condensed, the deeper they burn. ~Robert Southey

Good things, when short, are twice as good. ~Baltasar Gracian, The Art of Worldly Wisdom

It is my ambition to say in ten sentences what other men say in whole books - what other men do not say in whole books. ~Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols

The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do. ~Thomas Jefferson
