Small rule: Play to your level. If you aren't up to advanced, or somewhat of an average of what everyone else is posting(insofaras not being the low outlier), then don't try it.

See, I’m going to have to give this comment a big side of [b]“Yeah, no.”[/b] Discouraging people from trying is [i]ridiculous.[/i] For my entire time role-playing in the last fourteen years I can only imagine where I would be if I prescribed to the concept of “Don’t try it”. I can probably tell you where my writing would be and that would be in the damned [i]gutter[/i]. People react to the writers around them, growing and improving as they see the expectations or standards of their peers posts to try to meet those same standards. I would have never made the jump to advanced and taken lead from my co-writers to bring my writing to an “advanced” level —and that’s only the most recent example.

With that said I can go on to the topic question.

My standards vary with the game’s requirements. If I’m running a casual game I’m not going to expect deep characterization or long prose standards. That’s not to say I wouldn’t welcome it, but there’s a line I draw with leniency and expectations since whilst it is a cooperative story that is meant to be fun to be involved in I do think there should be a degree of quality concern. I like to work and play – it’s why I develop deep settings and look after it with a big red pen. Perhaps that’s the editor’s mindset that I have, but it is mind.

At the end of the day all I’m working is some effort into grammar/spelling/punctuation, a cooperative mindset, and a writer who doesn’t commit to power-playing or god-modding. I’m pretty easy to please... most of the time.
