I'm kind of with Vi on this one.
Quality and quantity.
as far as quality, it's all in the eye of the beholder.
If I can read through the entire ordeal and there is one or two typo's, maybe a few run on sentences or what not, doesn't bother me as long as the story keeps me entertained.
And like violet said, I don't want to wait a week or two just to get to read the second post, if I do, I quickly lose interest in the story all together.
Personally, i rp, a lot. I honestly don't care if many people like or dislike it, I enjoy doing it. Sure I could spend about an hour or two re-reading it and correcting the errors, I re-read it once, and if I miss a thing or two, or twenty, shrug...I'm working with a word pad that has probably the worst dictionary, worst spell check, no word/character count, so I kind of have to glance through a regular dictionary that I have next to the computer to check myself.
Basically, I don't make RP'ing work...if it becomes work, it becomes less enjoyable for me, thus causing less rp's.
On the other hand, I enjoy reading rp's such as Vi's and Android 17's. They use words that reach far out, rarely have spelling and gramatical errors. My rp'ing has changed drastically becuase of them. SB has probably the funiest rp's btw...
but anywho, that's my little rant. The way I see it...quality and quantity kind of play with each other, find a happy medium, don't work too hard towards one, or you'll lose the audience.
