[quote=@Frettzo]By unnecessary I mean things like fluffing things up, which is something I see a lot. [/quote] In my honest opinion, there is nothing wrong with filling things out to make for more interesting reading— longer form writers (such as Rtron, Myself, Nutts, etc.) feel the need to “fill the gap” because we feel that RPing is more engaging, involving, and interesting when it doesn’t read like a script or chatroom log. [quote=@Frettzo]people take from two sentences to an entire paragraph to describe a single movement in a fight scene, [/quote] Being direct is one thing, but sometimes a line of combat action has more intricacies besides “throwing a punch” or “dodging to the left” – the arena sub-forum is full of this, I wager. Language is beautiful and inspiring when it doesn’t read like static. [quote=@Frettzo]There was once a situation when a player wrote 20.000 words, I kid you not, of their character in an empty room.[/quote] I do not have the context of the content of the post beyond it being an empty room with one individual, so I cannot really comment on that; but I doubt I would be able to write 20,000 words in a traditional RP in the same scenario.
