Is this rp long? http://xwf99.com/showthread.php?tid=10382&action=lastpost

"Is this shit too long?"
You stole my line!
Seriously though, I didn't really think so.

Thanks because I thought it wasn't. He said it looked too long so nobody wouldn't read it and it made me feel sad.

I'm not reading that... In other words, YES.

Um..as your opponent. Yes, I play Charlotte, its a bit too long. Now...was it good? Yeah. I can just tell you most gms aren't going to have time to read 2000+ word rps I had to cut my rps down a while back because they were getting too long and people quit reading them.

I feel I should interject here. 2000 words is not too long. I am both a GM and a rper here in this fed, and I know I've maxed over 2000 words in rps, more than a few times. If the story is interesting and you have a good flow, 2000 words is absolutely fine. I also don't know of a GM who has an issue with that amount and I definitely don't. It's when you start pushing 4k, then there's a problem and you should probably cut that rp in half, if it's not some really captivating stuff that flows together and really needs to be that long.
In the future Ally, please don't give advice on what most General Managers' standards are here. Being as you were never a GM in the XWF. On another note, no one has ever asked you to cut your word count down and that choice was solely on your part. Seeing as you never made it past 1000 words, I don't see why you thought length was ever an issue. When one is in a fed for a while, a lack of views and readers is bound to happen. It's something that happens depending on what people have time for and will pick up and drop accordingly, despite whatever the word count is and no one is immune to it.

I'm not saying your RP sucked. As I said, I didn't read it. It looked well-written, but it's 3500 words. Well beyond what any GM around here would ever suggest. Probably any GM ever... May not seem like a lot once you get into a good writing groove, but it is. Especially for people reading multiple RPs to judge. If it was an AMAZING RP you'd probably get away with it. Anyway, that's just my two cents. Now gimme two cents. I'm poor! XD

Did you cut stuff or something? I just ran this through a word counter and got 1554 words, which is nowhere fucking close to too long. As for what you got, I'll need to give it a full read through to give an informed opinion on it. But shit, 1554 is slightly more than my usual RP, which no one seems to ever think is too long at all!

I cut the rp. It was 3500 words.

Can you break it up into 2? I would hate to see you essentially lose an entire RP.
Is this shit too long? - Giovanni Ferrari - 02-11-2014
Yes, post the leftover as a second part. You are allowed a max of 2 rps a day, so there's no reason it should go to waste.

That's what I plan on doing.

Totally. That's what I was saying. It's nice work by the way! Just.. REALLY long..
Is this shit too long? - Theo Pryce - 02-11-2014
Good. I was more concerned with the notion that it was deleted entirely.

Okay, read this bitch full length and thought it was a pretty solid piece. However, in the story sections (and this is just a pet peeve of mine) you repeated the same word as the first in the sentence multiple times in a row, which kind of in my eyes can hurt story flow. Nothing too major but just a thing to play around with.
As for your trash talk, I thought it was again solid as shit. However, there were some grammar errors and an entire sentence that makes no sense in: Jealous of the fact; that people like me?
Mainly, I have to say take your time and proofread stuff and you'll be fine.
