Okay Rad, I know you like huge C&C posts but I just wanna say right off the bat that the post was near perfect, so I'm not going to have a whole lot to say to you without repeating things I've told you before. I could just nitpick and find little grammar errors but there's no point to that.
In a recent PM you said you only write when you get an idea, so my advice is to take the many ideas you get and spread them into more, shorter roleplays
One of your biggest problems is that you love to write really long posts. You're very good at taking one long post and making someone sit down and read the whole thing. But on occasion (and I notice it's happened more recently, as in towards the end of DA last year and now popping up again) you kind of lose flow halfway through.
Here's an example, since I can't quite explain it without one. You take all of your ideas and you cram them into one big, fun-filled roleplay, and that pretty causes a novel post that is, as I said, one idea after the other. "Next, next, next, next." What you could do instead is spread the ideas out over many other roleplays, thus giving more detail to each idea. In other words, writing more, shorter roleplays.
I find that if you focus on one thing, you'll get a lot more accomplished then you if you just wrote everything that you had on your head at once.
It should be noted that I talk from total bias, as I prefer writing short posts and I like spreading all the ideas over many roleplays.
I hope that makes sense. I have a feeling you're gonna look at this and be like "wtf is he talking about?" =(
My post is in the same thread. The last one, please.
