Welcome to Gaia! ::

Still looking for a few more literate RPers!

Wow. Thanks for the help and taking an interest in it! It's awesome to have support from an official from this guild. smile

And I was curious about the lit and semi-lit difference, but I wasn't sure awhile ago if I should change it or not. There are a few typos in some posts, but that's usually because we post so quickly so that we don't miss an opportunity in the story that typos are an understandable occurrence. I don't want to chase away literate RPers if they see these typos, but I also don't want to chase away semi-literate RPers because we help them with their posting until they're better. So it's hard to say.

But I think I will try it with the literate description instead of semi-literate for awhile to see if our membership requests go up. Thank you for the tip!

If you are in any way interested and have some free time, please feel free to join! It'd be great to have you involved!

The definitions vary, but I think that for most people "semi-lit" means that one-sentence RP posts are acceptable, perhaps even the norm, while "lit" means that the character profiles and the posts are usually a couple of paragraphs long. Semi-lit doesn't always require a profile; I would call that beginners to intermediate, while lit would never dip below intermediate, if you go by our system here. It's not really about typos as about length and overall quality of the posts. Sometimes if you want people to post a lot/often, you have to sacrifice some of your expectations for quality and one-liners can be ok. It's up to you to let potential RPers know what you want. smile
