Learn to be concise and coherent. A lot of the long prompts I see getting passed over are either a tangled mess of nonsense, be it because of an excess of canon-specific jargon or because the person giving them is just a crap writer, or are lengthy to the point of tedium. Unless you know the person you're tagging is a big fan of introspection and minutely detailed description, you're better off with something punchy and dynamic.

I agree with this somewhat, although, LOL, my idea of "nice, long prompt" is probably a paragraph of bracketed prose, followed by a spoken line or two. ;) I should have been more specific.

Oh, yeah, that's well within the realm of reasonable, then. I was thinking something more wall-of-textish, since that's what I usually see when people are complaining about long starters being ignored.
