...Semi-what? *looks it up*Are you going to treat this as a casual roleplay? Or will you try to convert it to a semi-lit+ roleplay?
Literate =/= large post, and there's nothing wrong with your dialogue, or being dialogue heavy in general - in fact, I find I tend to be too heavy on actions, which is far more detrimental than having a lot of dialogue.Generally I try to stay literate, however due to a recent drain of creativity fluids I've been reduced to badly structured dialogue in opposed to my normal posts.

Unless its a roleplay where one player is in a library and the other is a book, I don't see how that works. I've always considered it one of the flaws of online/text based roleplays that characters often end up taking turns to respond to five different questions at a time. It sounds unnatural. Same as there's only so much action you can describe at any one time without automatically god-modding.
