I think your use of italics is fine - you seem to always use the quotation marks with them anyway.

Since I can't recall - how do you handle if your character is thinking something?

I don't mind anyone using italics in speech as such, but this latter is the problem... You can't differ your private thoughts from either your open talk or from your overall narrator's voice so easily...

Has there been a problem with players using another character's private thoughts? If it does happen, I do hope that if this happens, the writer will ask for an edit by posting on the Discussion Thread and gently reminding the other player that those were a character's 'private thoughts'.

I wouldn't call them "problems", but just curious, or just slightly annoying incidents at times. I have taken a couple of longer reads, as I haven't had always time to read the thread day by day - and when reading the thread in concerto for a longer period, like 20 pages of print in a row, those lapses kind of jump on your nose more clearly than in just reading one stuff today, and other tomorrow... I wouldn't like to go on pin-pointing anyone or any actual place (if you think I'm just nagging at nothing, I will come forwards with cases, but I hope I need not to). It's not so big a cause anyways. I was just asking people to be careful with this thing - myself included.
