I generally lose interest/don't have interest from people who write small paragraphs per post. By 'small paragraphs', I mean like one to four paragraphs. I know that it is a lot to write out, but I write out like five to seven or even eight paragraphs per post. I usually would write out an essay or more per post and usually I get like one or two paragraphs as a reply. I hate that and I will generally lost interest in that roleplay/person. I feel like, if I write out an essay and post it, then I should expect the reply to be the same length or more. Because, I put good, hard work into that I spent a hour and half on and all I get is just one paragraph that took that person five minutes to make. I'm sorry, but that's bullshit and I'd straight up tell them that.
I might get the argument of "If it annoys you that much, just ignore them, they can write the amount they want to, why do you care?" Well, I care for the same reason I joined this site. To write from a reason and to have fun. If that person doesn't write the same amount as me, then I might be bored of writing a paragraph or three and it would make me not have fun. But, if I do ignore that one person (who writes one paragraph in a roleplay while everyone else writes five or more paragraphs), then I will be a piece of shit from avoiding them. They shouldn't have joined a roleplay that needs people to write out five or more paragraphs per post.
"But people can write any amount they want to! Who are you to say that they should meet your requirement?" True enough, I'm not here to shame anyone who can't write out an essay that easy. However, people should be able to respect me too. If I ask from you to write more, then you should be able to respect my request or just leave if it's too much from you to handle. It will only take you a couple extra hours or minutes to increase your word count on your posts.
And I get it that length isn't always the best thing in a post, the best thing in a post is the detail it goes behind it. However, sometimes details are needed to be longer than shorter to explain what's going on. Like from example, I don't need to know that a pair of your character's jeans creaks in a weird way or that there was a fly down the street unless it's related to the plot or story of the roleplay.
And I should mention this or people will get on my case about it, I don't care if I see a typo, spelling error, or someone forgets a comma. We are all human and I make mistakes like that all the time. I just would like to see -some- effort put into the roleplays that I participate in.
And one more thing, I am not a douche bag who will get upset with you right away. If you avoid my request to write more after being told time after time, then I will kick you out of my roleplay or leave.
That's my little rant, that I needed to release. If you read all of this, then I thank you form reading my rant. I will also be happy if you gave your opinion on my post.
