No emdash prompt works on a lot of models i usually use for rp works as part of system prompt:
```
PUNCTUATION RULE (HIGH PRIORITY):
NEVER use the long-dash punctuation mark (U+2014) anywhere in output. That punctuation is an AI-writing fingerprint and breaks immersion.
Use commas, colons, periods, or sentence-splits instead. This applies to ALL prose, dialogue, descriptions, and narration.
If a sentence feels like it needs an em-dash, rewrite it. Two short sentences read more naturally than one with an em-dash.
