[quote=@Gowi] Writing a [i]cohesive[/i] and [i]quality[/i] post of such length is not easy. People can string needless paragraphs together, but if it still flows like a brick it will read like one. Brevity is plenty good, but if your style is entirely minimalist with two or three sentences for description and one for dialogue I feel it will not be very interesting to read in the first place. It especially won't be for me. Neither is writing a brief post. The proof is in the pudding, not how many (or how few) ingredients are in it. Not at fucking all. This is a fallacy, because I've written in Advanced & Casual for years and the divide people invent for their narrative is fiction. Advanced roleplaying should focus on developing interesting and complex characters that become part of plot-lines which catch the imagination and inspire the writer behind them to exercise creativity. It is mature, humorous, imaginative, tragic, terrifying, passionate, and rife with descriptive language and characters with real personality and relateable cares. Quality posting is far better than needless novels, yet one should never neglect detail when one feels the need. However, while word and paragraph requirements ought to be unnecessary, single paragraphs cannot contain enough detail to suffice. [/quote] So you agree with me? My statement was pretty much that writing amount means very little and that quality is more important. Does that mean writing little fable length posts? No, you aren't Franz Kafka and roleplaying requires more detailed posts due to needing to not only convey information to a reader, but also needing to convey information to who you are interacting with in a way that allows for creative responses to events. Not to mention making 'short quality posts' requires tons of revision that I doubt people who post in casual actually do. Making a long post that requires only a couple revisions works fine usually.
