I'm not sure what exactly I ought to check. I write many different types of stories, and don't see myself conforming to one genre in specific. That's something I can discuss with anyone who has an interest in me!
With that aside, I should make it known that I write as a hobby. Enjoyable though it is, I can only do it so long as I have the time to spare. There may be occasions in which I won't be able to respond to a one-on-one roleplay for a few days due to real life phenomena, as I would imagine is the case with many other people.
People so often emphasize gratuitous description and excessive word counts. While detail is nice, I feel the goal of cooperative story writing shouldn't be to slap as many adjectives into a post as you possibly can; rather, it should be with the intent to paint a vivid image in the heads of author and reader alike. Sometimes it doesn't take a novel's worth of words to convey the beautiful scenery being strolled through. Sometimes it does. It really depends on context in my opinion.
Vocabulary and sentence structure variation both do a lot of work in successfully achieving that aforementioned vivid image I mentioned prior.
I'm a very laid back and, in my opinion, friendly guy. I'm not looking for a master of the English language, as I'm by no means one myself. I just would rather write with someone who's okay at varied sentence structure, has a decent vocabulary and can adequately convey what they're making happen rather than someone who turns into a walking thesaurus when it comes down to things.
I really don't ask for much, I promise! I by no stretch of the imagination am accusing anyone of this, I just sort of went off on a philosophical tangent in regards to what I thought made up "good writing". I'm super excited to make some friends, and even more so to maybe gain a roleplay buddy in the process! Just hit me up if you're ever interested, I don't bite! C:
P.S. Moral of the post: I don't think writing should be a super-strict structured thing. It's called roleplay after all! The aim is to have fun with me! I also may or may not use too many exclamation marks. I'm a very jovial person, so... yeah!
