When I say word count I mean it in terms of reading length, also how long the RP feels. Unless I'm talking about something being done excessively, which is specifically what I was doing in your feedback.
You weren't the only person to tell me that the RP was too long. You just did far more in depth analysis then I ever cared to see. If anything, your feedback was more entertaining then what I manage to post in my RP.
I'll agree to disagree with some points being made. JGlass got it right though, don't worry about the length of the RP, if it works and flows doesn't matter. Keep them hooked on what their reading.
Investment is also required though, a factor some are letting slip by. You're more inclined to pay attention to a long RP if you have a genuine interest is what is going on.
