User blog:Daligha/On Length

Do you like your RP partners' replies to be long or short? Is time a factor for you in RPs? Does it frustrate you when someone takes five or ten minutes to type out a paragraph-long reply? Alternatively, do you get annoyed when someone types out a sentence and thinks that's enough?

What is the 'perfect' length for you? How much detail do you expect in posts? Do you want the entire scene written out with every sense accounted for? Do you want most of it in your mind's eye? Do you prefer it to be fluid, with attention directed to the most salient parts of the RP at the time?

I've answered this question in many ways in the past. I'm at the point now that I feel like it doesn't matter as long as everyone is enjoying themselves. I have a tendency to write long-winded things, I think. I enjoy scenery and scents, so I'll often launch into lengthy descriptions about nature or architecture, or the smell of someone's hair or... Um, other areas. What's important to you in description?
