I pretty much make OOC-lite for interest checks because I always end up getting a lot of traffic for my games and I've found clearly outlining what exactly the game is going to be and expectations helps give people a clear idea of what they'd be getting into.

Way I see it, large portions of text are kind of one of my staples and if people think the interest check/ OOC are a bit much, they're probably going to hate the IC content. Considering most of my games last for 1-2 years usually, I'm sticking with a formula I know works.
