Not too many posts ago, I discussed what I referred to as
the “Disease of Long Posts” in roleplay, getting into what makes a so-called “Long
Post” and why it’s really harmful to the roleplay. Today I want to look at it
from the other perspective, though I suspect there will be a portion of overlap
in it. Approaching your posts with an understanding of their length is
absolutely crucial to your success as a roleplayer, and it should be an issue
the writer is continually sensitive toward.
Ever been on a web-site that banned members for making a “short”
post? Some places will classify them as spam, others will say it’s simply poor
writing, but all around there’s a sense that fewer words mean diminished
quality. Naturally, there’s a really important question we have to ask
ourselves:
Does this make any sense at all?
