Now, if I want to bring things back on topic... I actually have a little bit of criticism for the polyamory guide. I will admit that this is a very nitpicky critique, but it's been nagging at me for a while so I figured I'd finally just touch on it.
I personally feel that the whole guide is... well... really long-winded. Every major post you've made in it thus far could be condensed into one or two simple, concise paragraphs. Is the need for such verbose elucidation meant mostly to cater to RPers who have zero experience in romantic RP, polyamorous or not?
I think this gets more into preferences as a reader - I didn't find it particularly long winded, myself. It was a pretty easy read, and quite clear in general, the vertical "communication" notwithstanding (I suspect that was some formatting weirdness with the forum). You've got a good point about the intended audience, though. Personally, I feel that it's better to err on the side of verboseness in a guide, since it's implied that the intended audience is less experienced with the sort of activity that it's a guide to.
