How much backstory would be good backstory? Should I split it up over a few posts? :) I love this...

Kind of depends. I say keep it relevant to whatever tie in to the present you are using for backstory. Save the rest for later when you can surprise people! ^^ Or let it all hang out cuz hey! Backstories are fun to write and its nice to get that feeling of "damn I'm appreciated because that person just made an obvious reference to my long backstory that they could have skipped." My suggestion though when taking that route is keep to lots of paragraphs, not one big block of text^^
