the punctuation goes INSIDE the quotation marks in almost all instances.
punctuation marks that always go inside: period, comma.
punctuation marks that always go outside: colon, semi-colon.
punctuation marks that vary: question mark, exclamation point. (these go inside a quotation mark only if the quotation is a question or exclamation, respectively.)

[her room is a tornado zone filled with many things including at least twenty pairs of shoes, scattered randomly about in among the other detritus.]
me: no--
lillian: [interrupting, in a sleepily nasal sarcastic tone] but of course you wouldn't care.
me: --but you have hundreds of shoes.
[stony silence]

12 Sep 2003 06:30 amand this snape/harry ('the polka dot plague') is funneh.
Snape folded back the cuffs and unwrapped the two smaller packages: a lidded ceramic mug enchanted against spills and breakage, and a truly hideous pair of hand-knitted green-and-silver striped socks.
Well, that answered the question of what Millicent Bulstrode did on her summer holiday. Snape held up the socks and scowled. The previous three years, Millicent had supplied him with a scarf, a hat and a vest. Snape had expended a great deal of time and energy developing a charm to make the damn things invisible to everyone but their maker, so that he could wear them in Millicent's presence without making a public spectacle of himself. Charms were not his speciality, and the whole process had been remarkably annoying. At least socks could be concealed under boots, though the misshapen toes and lumpy heels did not promise great comfort.
i like this snape--although i think he's not really canonically accurate.
eta: Skittles must cause insanity in the later stages, Snape realized. That was the only possible explanation for Potter's sudden desire to converse with him. Since it seemed to be a harmless, non-violent sort of lunacy, he resolved to ignore it.
me: ::gasping with laughter, having passed the shrieking stage::
lillian, who is searching for socks: ::EXTREMELY long-suffering sigh::
eta: okay, big plot hole. ::continues doggedly::

got up early and was quickly exhausted at daddy's therapy. deposited $400 at bank, ate lunch, conked out for two hours; we're going to potc in another hour (which is to say in about 1:45 but we want the van early just in case). the tickets to toronto have gone up so i'm going to have to ask my parents to lend me the extra money. (bummer.)
