[quote=@PrinceAlexus] Theres more skill in telling a story with fewer words and achieving the same goal. Lengh and post size is not the only factor of qaulity. Telling a story In 300 words we'll and effectively, is better than 1000 words with 400 of lore dump and another 100 of padding. Lore dumping for hundreds of words, eh. Telling it as part of a well woven story, linking charecters and past organicly. That's qaulity. [/quote] I'm honestly hard pressed to tell if this is a joke... [@Sierra] Because in the same instance that something may come across as overly ambitious, with flaws making themselves present because of it. I don't really think creating a simplistic post with little to no prose that just happens to be slightly more polished because it had far fewer chances to fall is particularly "Advanced" either. I think why it is so much easier to find errors or just make up personal gripes with work that expands its scope thrice over others is self-explanatory. You can write something without fucking up, and make it beyond uninteresting as a piece of writing. If you never try anything new, you'll never have to fail at it... While length doesn't need to be difference between Casual and Advanced. I'd argue they should be experimenting with prose, vocabulary, and stylistic choices. A novelist doesn't always follow the standard. People don't have to like it, but it shouldn't be marked as wrong unless someone can provide a better alternative. Actually, being able to do that with others writing only improves your writing as a result.
