[quote=@Grijs]While this is the Advanced Interest check, I am thinking of posting the actual RP in Casual. (Probs with Casual-Advanced in the title)
The reason: Making long and detailed posts is fine if you want to, but doing so frequently for months on end just drains too much energy and I’ve seen RPs die that way. Therefore preferably make your posts concise and direct. Avoid dragging out and take it easy. It's fine.[/quote]
What I just read felt like a capable writer more than comfortable with advanced quality standards concerned about constant pressure to write novel-length and about maintaining player population. As both a fellow GM and an interested party, I think you should stick to your guns on what you expect for posting quality. It's a hard decision to stand your ground, but I believe it would be worth it long term. And honestly you shouldn't worry about the length. Advanced is first and foremost a quality standard. I run something in that section where some posts are only about 400 words (less than 20 lines excluding whitespace). Demand quality and let length take care of itself.

The way you wrote the int check does not suggest you're remotely a casual level writer. If you put something in casual, that's the level of writing you'll get. That's not to say people in casual can't step it up to a superior tier of quality, but it sets the lower common denominator. I think you should build the RP to your ideal participant, and then the closest people to that are exactly what you'll get. It may reduce your prospect pool, but I personally consider that better than compromising the vision. Hell, it's worked out for me so far. The advanced section does inherently move slower, but a little determination to ensure the inexorable march of progress goes a long way to running a roleplay until the end of time.

 
These are the hard decisions to make, but they're what define you as a GM. So tell me ... [i]"Who are you, and what do [b]you[/b] want?" [/i] You have my keyboard, and my sword.
