PSA:   POST LENGTH.

_{when I say that you don’t have to match my length in a post, I mean like… If I write 4 paragraphs, I’m not expecting you to write 4 paragraphs? y’know. i’m cool if you write 1 or 2 or 8.}

_{but… when i write 4 paragraphs & get a one/two line reply? that’s… stretching it a bit, don’t you think?}

_{I really wish I could be one of those people who’s like fine, with everything?? but I guess I’m just not. & i was feeling bad about it for a long time but my logic got to me. & let me kinda’ explain.} 

_{in a post, generally, I have my character do three things:} 

_{SAY SOMETHING. or multiple things. or… shout, sob, etc. 
DO ACTIONS. to progress the plot. 
THINK & FEEL. to help me & you understand why they’re doing what they’re doing.} 

_{generally, a good way to roleplay with someone and to progress the plot, and deepen the connection to the characters, is to respond to what your partner does in a post. so don’t pick, at random, one line of dialogue and respond to that and nothing else? don’t ignore everything they’ve just said, and respond only to the action.} 

_{as well as RESPONDING you then add something of your own, to progress the plot. so you could… ask a question, prep an attack, try to coax them into doing something, explain something… y’know. give them in turn something to RESPOND too.} 

_{weather you have your character inner monologue or not is up to you. it helps to connect but it’s not always needed. but it helps others understand them.} 

_{so, while all this can be done in a little paragraph, it can’t be done in one or two lines.} 

_{it’s about RESPECT for your partner, too. like, the effort they have put in. i don’t care what people say. it’s rude af to expect one party to carry a thread.} 

_{so my I DON’T CARE HOW MUCH YOU REPLY WITH has a limit, dudes. it’s not anything personal. it’s just I need to be able to continue the thread.}
