I use to write these five paragraph purple prose descs to try and get on that page. I was successful once. Now I’m like: It’s a tree or It’s a costume - yay.
The real contest was to try to write a desc that would scroll anyone’s screen, contained as many treasured cliches like ‘sparkling orbs gaze into your soul’ as you could pack in, yet did not tell the reader anything about what the character actually looks like.
Eyes: Sparkling, soulful and impid, but of undetermined colour. Hair: Luscious and cascading, but of no particular colour or length. Skin: Flawless. Height: Graceful. Shape: Exquisite and touchable. Age: Blooming.

@Gashlycrumb Oh, you played on Firan too.

@RightMeow Never! It was before Firan, I think. When did that place open?

@Gashlycrumb c. 1997, if I’m remembering correctly.

This feels like the advanced version of me complaining about how much I hate writing descs: “I don’t know. S/he has a face and stuff. It’s probably fine.”

@InkGolem I’d have to read through it again to tell you, though. Noooo!
