I've also done shorter roleplays with < 500 words, sometimes even < 200 words on messengers and stuff though  and, eh, that's never been a problem either. Although I _have _sometimes purposefully cut posts shorter if they go on for too long and others post shorter ones - precisely to avoid people crying over "not being able to match". Which is a stupid concept anyway; you write for as long as you feel like you have something to say and then stop. Done. Easy.[/quote]

It isn't so much about not being able to catch up. It's just if (for example) everyone else is writing 1000 or more words regularly, and I'm only doing the bare minimum regularly, it makes it look like I'm not putting in as much effort as everyone else. >_> Even though that may not be true, and I just don't feel the need to restate [i]everything[/i] everyone else before me has already said.
