litphoria

Expresses an interest in roleplay in which the average post is between 150 and 250 words (roughly 1/3 a page in a standard word document) long.

Any ideas from anyone as to what to call it then? Because I think that a post-length scale probably needs something between paragraph and page, especially given how many people I've seen posting at around this length on the site.

Maybe multi paragraph, anything between two and five paragraphs, that is not enough to fill up a page, but more than a standard paragraph.

A random thought for this: Would it seem more appealing to people if we at least renamed some of the already accepted ones and took the literary elements out of it? I had thought that they'd help with quicker recognition, but it seems that people in this and pages were having issues with them. Would just going for 'Very short', 'Short', 'Medium, 'Long', 'Very long' and using the broader post-lengths to describe those appeal more?

Well the problem there is what is the difference between medium and long? What about very long and just long? Imo those would have the same problems as practical or pragmatic or concise.

Maybe? My issue with the practical / pragmatic / concise set was more that their descriptions were things that were rather imprecise and that the words did have something of a connotation to them. With a very short/etc labelling scheme, I think that it's more clear that these are basically arbitrary, if fitting, titles that Litphoria ascribes to certain word counts. That way we still get the solidity of each section being a defined size, but we don't have what Keta is complaining about in terms of paragraphs being of a certain length. It'd also likely mean that we could split things up a little bit nicer, since we wouldn't need to be trying them to actual properties.

Then again, I don't actually have any problems with the current system myself (once these last few get approved), but I thought I'd try to address whatever concerns were still here.

I can confirm that a strong paragraph is literally 10-20 sentences long.

Multi-paragraph seems to be the only thing missing. It would naturally fit between paragraph and page.
