I just wanted to make a clarification: Lit, Semi-lit, etc. or whatever other words you want to use, denote more than just quantity of words in a post. :) They're measures of a person's writing ability and cover grammar, spelling, and depth. People who are looking for literate roleplays are actually typically looking for more than just:

No, that's not actually a quote. I just did that to set it apart. :P
That's the kind of stuff that makes a lot of people shy away from a roleplay. In a way, the labels serve to mark experience as well. Mary Sue's and similar characters are far more typical of people who would be measured illiterate. Actually, if you look, you'd probably find one or two roleplays on this site where the creator of the thread has a Mary Sue as their character. And with atrocious writing to boot.
Like I said, I'm not saying any of this to start a fight or something. I was just clarifying the terms. :D
