There's an art to lengthy Advanced posts. Like a writer will "set up" the sequence of events for the next chapter within the current chapter, the same is true for Advanced posts. The good Advanced writers will give you a plethora of things to respond to, stimuli for your character using everything from mood to setting to NPCs to dialogue to action to the very narrative itself. It's more "pro-active collaborative storytelling", while some of the other levels tend to be more reactive.

That seems like a good way to put it. I guess I'm more taken with the reactive side of roleplaying, but as they say: "To each their own."

Oh and: Welcome to the Guild!!

If you've got any questions, feel free to ask them here or PM me, as I'm quite the newb myself.

Thank you kindly, Ruby! I'll keep it in mind.

Welcome, [@Lunicus]. I don't think I've seen an introduction post from someone with an account that old before. :hehe

Let's just say I'm a mite bit shy and go with that.  Thank you for the reception, Hank!
