I'm very well aware most who are likely to look at it will scoff to themselves like "Anyone who's RPed for a few years should know this stuff!". Personally most of what I have covered are things I learned within the first few years of RP that later became fine tuned with experience.
I also received a more private comment that some parts of it were redundant. Part of that is my own writing impediment I have to go back and edit on due to my seizures, and others it's meant to repeat the same thing two or three times throughout to really drive the point home.
I'm always welcome to suggestions and will fine tune things as I go. For now, 90 percent of what I received from others have been really appreciative of how it's laid out so I'm hoping it's helping those who need things put into frank text.
Ah, that all sounds entirely fair to me.
The length of the guide aside, as long as it effectively delivers said point clearly, I have no other qualms. And you communicate your point very well, imo. No arguments there.(12-28-2014, 03:54 PM)C'kayah Wrote: 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.
I agree with it being a reader's preference, which is why I was a bit afraid of how I was coming off there. >< Some people prefer a larger volume of clarification by nature and I actually must remind myself of this often.
