@lovely complex

Umm, how long are you guys expecting posts to be?

[LovelyComplex]

@Carlsberg Casual to high. I'm fine with two/three decent paragraphs. I prefer quality over quantity. I tend to write over four paragraphs usually but you don't have to compare yourself with my writing.

Probably something about this length. It can be a little bit shorter though.

Example

Aurelia was hardly expecting to be touched by the eccentric Hannibal, let alone twirled around by him, yet the unforeseen became a reality. Her mouth was hanging open to reply to him when, all of a sudden, their great leader's arm tugged the woman from her camel. Panic gripped her, forcing her ebony orbs wide, as she was inhaled into Hannibal's spiraling maelstrom. A single person hadn't dared to touch the former noblewoman since 6 years ago, and the shock of something like this happening so rapidly left the poor Nekroz shaken and confused. Her fight or flight response activated, instinct flying to decide her actions rather than rational thought.

Unfortunately for the man, instinct determined the best course of action to be a violent one. As Senna began speaking about the proper time to drink, Aurelia spun herself about and used that momentum to bury a heavy hand into Hannibal's gut. However, Aurelia's face went beet red when she realized what she did and instantly regretted it. They had only just begun their journey and she was already attacking their leader! How was she going to redeem her family's name when she could add "mutiny" to their list of crimes?! Not to mention this happened in front of everybody, so this definitely was going to reinforce all the rumors about the Nekroz clan! It didn't help that she felt like a halfling next to nearly everyone presently nearby, considering the shield maiden's short stature.

"I-I am so sorry!" she stammered out. Her hands, clad in leather gloves, covered her mouth in shame, and her legs backed away from the scene to give the head of the caravan some space to recover. On the bright side of things, Aurelia was glad she hadn't pulled out her gladius and stuck him like a pig. That would have been awful. As luck would have it, one of the wine suppliers thought it would be a great time to toss a bottle to the shield maiden. Unable to catch the bottle in time, divine retribution struck her in the chest in the form of Scipio's and sent the blonde straight onto her bottom. Aurelia's face went a shade of red darker, feeling utterly humiliated.

To avoid being trampled by a brunette's camel, the woman quickly stood up from the hot sand, an expression upon her visage that spoke a thousand words of indignity. "...Sorry..." she meekly apologized for being an inconvenience to the lady upon the camel. There was laughter from behind her, only worsening how she felt. For the first time in ages, people were actually talking to her, but Aurelia was just making a mess of things! Bowing her head and hiding her countenance behind a wall of blonde hair, she held the bottle of Scipio's to her sore chest and began to stride back to her camel. The best course of action was just to remain silent and still until she was needed. Otherwise, someone else might get hurt. Or worse.

Holy Crap. That is gonna be a big step up. I am not going to be able to post anywhere near as quickly as I'm used to.

[LovelyComplex]

@Carlsberg That's fine. I love when writers challenge themselves :) and here we have a great community of people, who are willing to give pointers if you need help. There's no rush.

@Carlsberg If I can offer some advice that helped me back in the day, don't feel the need to compare your own posts to the posts of other people. Nine times out of ten (made up statistic!) this just leads to someone either forcing themselves to match up (and potentially losing steam in the process) or going for quantity over quality.

Granted I'm not the GM here, just a friendly Co, but quality should always be the focus over quantity. If you can put out a quality post that's, say, two paragraphs (and I don't even mean the silly 'five sentences is a paragraph' thing) then I'll always take that over someone who puts up six or seven paragraphs where half of it is just obvious filler.

Different standards for different folks, of course, but that's my two cents on the matter

[LovelyComplex]

@Fabricant451 My Co-GM is a Harry, Wizard. _{GREAT ADVICE}

[LovelyComplex]

In other news, mostly everyone will have a roomie besides Malcolm and Josephine , well until peeps join their humble abode.

[reiko]

@lovely complex Totally gonna get Alex up by today before the RP starts. Sorry for the hold up. I was actually kind of excited to see what Jasper was going to be like so super psyched for him to be a roommate. :3
@Liriia Despite the fact Alex is like half frat boy, half dysfunctional attention seeking histrionic, she still isn't about that misogynistic life. Plus, I don't think Richard would be despite not being a one-person type of guy since one of his best friends is a girl. Ugh, I'm getting feels thinking about Richard-Alex sibling type of relationship. He would see her as a little sister and get all protective over her while she's the most understanding of him and wishes he'd be a little more open with her. <33
@McHaggis Have Malcolm visit quite often. ;D

[cerozer0]

@reiko AAAAAH YES YES IM HERE FOR THIS. dang king is,,, the big bro type in A LOT of universes its kinda funny. so they'd probably be close friends from the start of the rp right? and as time goes by maybe he can open to her emotionally and they can have cute siblin' moments

and then alex can be his wing man too for all the cute boy(s) ((and girls)) CACKLES
