I think I like to do a little storytelling, yeah. One thing that was so hard for me when I played Cooper is that he was the only one from Twin Peaks, and you know that at first glance he can seemingly be such a twit; I think a lot of people who were unfamiliar with his canon misinterpreted that in him. You've got entire story arcs to tell with him, which is great. And I didn't play him enough to really establish many relationships for him.
But really, that's pretty much it: I like the storytelling. I don't care who complains that I write too much or my posts are too long or there's too much internalization. That's my character. That's what Spike is like. Almost all of his posts could be distilled down into a handful of spoken words (mostly like "huh?" or "yeah?"), but that doesn't do his complex nature any service at all. So I write the way the character demands to be written, and that's kind of all there is to it as far as I'm concerned.
I've seen RP boards that had specifications on the minimum number of lines allowed in a post. I'm not a fan of that. Sometimes, one-line posts are perfect. Sometimes they're not. I don't usually choose to play in many threads of the one-line variety, because I feel like it forces me to do all the work. But other peoples' mileage may vary. Of course, Paige and I also have done a stylistic thing with threads consisting of posts of just one word per post, and they tell their own story. That's an exercise we do from time to time for fun.

Look. I'm rambling! I do that sometimes.
