[quote=@Odin] ... Don't see how these two integers (selectivity vs. proof reading) are correlated. Explain. [/quote] I couldn't take that such a thing seriously. So I'm mostly being sarcastic. And I also didn't mean that personally, if that person wrote that themselves. Wasn't a strike on them. It seemed to be a random example they pulled from the forum itself. So I made it a general statement. I'm actually indifferent on this original subject. (And this doesn't even seem to be about that.) But I already posted my thoughts. But yes, if I personally read that. I'd roll my eyes. A personal pet peeve that people shouldn't be picky. If they can't even put the basic effort of spell checking their interest check. (It's demanding someone else follow their strict guidelines and it's clear they don't take the process of writing seriously. So how can you?) I do think some people and how they write or what they're looking for, may genuinely get more enjoyment out of just writing their own story by themselves. Being told what I need to be, my character's history, background, personality. Is not fun. Roleplaying is supposed to be fun for both people...when it stops being that. I feel like it might as well be classified as work, you're not getting paid for...
