Recently my new goal for my threads is a word count: 50k-69k, the average length of a young adult novel, those are the ones I typically read anyway xD.
So now, depending on home much my RP partner and I write, I aim for 10+ pages. That's my new goal, getting up to 10 pages! \o/

I know what you mean. Recently, whenever life gets in the way, I try to tell my partners that I won't be replying, but I will eventually. It used to be whenever one of us wouldn't reply for a week or two, it was pretty much curtains for the RP soon after that. Though recently I've had some very dedicated partners, who keep RPing no matter how long the last reply was.

I completely agree, after RPing with my boyfriend, whenever we get to a point in the RP where the post was really lacking some sort of drive to it, I just talk to him about it. He even talks to me when something in my post doesn't make sense. Now that we have an understanding that it's ok to talk to each other about the RP posts as well as the story line, I feel like our RP will go longer.

I hope they will Longie! Recently, I've been trying to keep an open mind about how long it's been since me or my RP partner replied to an RP. I'm trying to just accept the length and keep going with the story, as long as when they reply we get back into the once every couple days routine again xD
