Well, if you're a fan of reading and novels, along with enjoying writing in general, Advanced would totally be up your alley. Of course, we don't write novels and yes, it does take a bit of time to move along but with a good GM and a decently-paced group, it moves at a respectable pace and is worth it, in my opinion. Even then, it's hard to keep up sometimes with 3-day deadlines and whatnot, though luckily most Advanced RPs have a one-post-per-week deadline.
