Are there any subjects you have a high preference for in RPs? (High Fantasy, Star Wars, other Sci-fi, Steampunk, Anime, etc)
I like Medieval Fantasy over everything else. That is the type of world I created Stephanus for, and that is the type of setting I have the highest preference for.
But due to my fascination with crossovers, I also move around pretty confidently in Anime and Touhou settings as well. Sci-fi and Star Wars though? Not so much...
How comfortable are you at reading lots of stuff by others who are deeply engaged in their characters and thus tend to write a lot?
I am comfortable. I love it when people are immersed with their characters, as long as they don't end up mixing up IC and OOC. Most of my troubles with people came from the latter.
I also like it when people respect character integrity and pretend to be their characters, rather than just using them as avatars to reach their desires (erotic roleplayers are very often guilty of this. I do engage in smut, but I still believe that character integrity is very important)
I like paragraphic roleplaying, and I like long posts, however... When something absolutely dwarfs my post, I start feeling guilty of wasting that person's talent. Not to mention, when the long post has lots of "padding" (irrelevant information you cannot reply to), sometimes I may think like "How does one reply to that?"
