Text based, literate roleplays?

[melissa]

I'd recommend Coloholics. Plenty of original story RPing with plenty of consistent creative writers. Of course the people there prefer quality to quantity, the concept of RP literacy is flawed as it asserts that the ability to ramble is more valuable than concise writing and that the quality of a piece of writing is directly connected to how long it is and how much someone can digress, but then again I completely understand your frustration with one liners. Short concise posts have their place but it's frustrating not having much to work with to satisfy one's creative urge.
Anyway, at the very least what I can say about Colo is that for better and for worse it's unlike most other RP sites you may have encountered.
