The Semi-Literate & Literate Roleplayer's Club (V4)

[paragon]

I have to agree, the longer a post gets, the harder it is to interact.
I find that partners who give me several paragraphs every single response usually only end up giving my character a question or two. The rest ends up being fluff.

I've read several 'literate' role plays where people post hundreds of words and they all absolutely bored me to tears. In an entire post the plot advances barely a fraction, the background is described in excruciating--to read--detail, and it's just boring. I could toss out 90% of their post and miss and regret absolutely nothing.

I think word length shouldn't be a challenge to see how much utterly useless fluff and extra crud you can come up with; if a post is 800 words and only 75 of those contribute to the purpose, what use are those 725 extra words? I cannot see how you can interact with another person and produce an inordinate amount of relevant text.

So far, I've not been proven wrong but a few times. Captain Kaycee is one of an extremely select group that I think can write 4-5 paragraphs, sometimes more, and keep my interest in them. Stuff happens in (her?) roleplays and posts.

That's just me.

I'm probably guilty of the whole mostly-fluff thing, I've packed on hundreds of extra words describing what my character is thinking.

What a character is thinking and fluff is different though, in my opinion.
I dislike a ton of extra characters in one x one, but I don't mind a few and I do a lot of time skips to keep things interesting

Yeah, I don't mind learning what a person is thinking, even though I cannot role play as if my character knows too. It's more for my entertainment, and that's just fine with me.

Would anybody be interested if I remade this roleplay? Better formatted and better-written with all of the characters given a makeover, of course.

psst... new thread for Nyctophobia is up! You can post your form and head over to the new discussion thread to choose your second character ;o

@Rose
That's true, but clearly you haven't seen me when I ramble xD

Totally fine! One of us will just have to double up with two girls then.

I'd be interested! I never finished my form, but the idea was really interesting and I liked the character I got x3

[spiff]

Hmm I'm not sure if I should wait for nine people to join or if I should have four other people double up with me, this thread isn't as active as it used to be. :\
Do you want me to reserve f for you again?

[terminus.]

@ sakorian rage i'm definitely interested but you probably don't want me in it, especially as i haven't roleplayed in about two/three
months

I'd, perhaps, be interested in a remake. :3
