I was using open ended vs close ended as a better dichotomy than "1 liners" vs "detailed posts" or low vs high effort, or 1 paragraph vs 3 paragraphs. I feel it's a more useful distinction.
I draw mazes and the metaphor that comes to mind is: Did you create more threads than you closed?
At a minimum you should try to at least carry the threads of the conversation (body language, physical actions, tone of voice, actual dialogue, background information and ques) and pass them back. A good post should offer up 3 or 4 different things to respond to. If there are enough ques, neither party has to respond to them all, but maybe they'll come up later.
This is awful hard to explain with out a good example.
But anyways, I just wanted to point out that people can mean many different things when they say "one liner" and it would be useful to be more specific and try to qualify what exactly is meant by "one liner"
As for problems with brevity I think I'm almost too good sometimes at combining sentences, chaining multiple phrases into one sentence. So if you want help, pm me something and I'll condense it down and explain it a little bit. If you want, I dunno, maybe you don't. *shrug*
lol i'm usually pretty laid back as a whole on posting and most of the folks i write with are equally so. but that's the benefit of 1x1s as a whole, it's a lot more about you meshing well with a partner than having a more uniform posting system set up that keeps everyone on track.
but thanks for the offer.
