So what are your preferenes and/or expectations as far as post length go?  That sort of thing can be a killer to me.  I'm personally in the camp of "writing only what you need to."  Particularly when characters are interacting.

Lemme preemptively defend myself here.  

Say Mary and Jane are arguing in the kitchen.  Mary starts her post saying that as they argue, she starts to wash her dishes(angrily), and then ends the post with her putting the dishes away(angrily).  

Well then here comes Jane's turn to post.  Jane doesn't like it when Mary just keeps on doing things while they argue.  She feels like she's being ignored.  Jane wants to, as soon as Mary starts washing, grab a plate and smash it on the ground.  

Now we have a problem.  There are two options here:

A) Mary has to re-write most of her post because Jane's post derailed her sequence of events.

B) Jane doesn't get to break the plate, because Mary's post didn't allow her time to react to what was happening in the world.  

Neither solution is fair, but if we had a shorter post in the first place we could avoid this.  Instead, Mary gives her reply, and then the post ends with her [i]starting[/i] to wash the dishes.  Jane's can include her grabbing a plate and smashing it, but she also makes a post that allows for a reaction to this(as opposed to speaking an entire paragraph while smashing every single plate, which also would not be a reasonable thing to do uninterrupted).  

Sorry to go off the end with that.  From what I've read so far we're pretty well on the same page as far as play style goes, so I just want to make sure I'm understood about this as well.
