Loosely inspired by the thread on the general board regarding reading bios/profiles, I figured it'd be fun and perhaps even useful to hear what kind of profiles others enjoy reading! Whether it's about the layout, structure or information itself, feel free to share your favourite types here, or even show characters whose bios you personally enjoy a lot (and for what reason). Maybe you enjoy wikipedia-like layouts on profiles because they help you navigate the bio easily, or perhaps you're really into having images scattered around the layout to spice it up a little!
Just remember this is not a thread about bios you DON'T enjoy reading. Keep your negativity elsewhere, and please be respectful of other people's personal tastes. The emphasis of this thread is on the things that you like rather than you dislike, so let's stay mindful and promote the positive ;v;9
Good: I enjoy reading profiles on the shorter side
Bad: I hate reading long bios
Good: I like user X's bios because they're always very in-depth and well written
Bad: I like user X's bios because it's rare to see actually well written characters on this site
I have attention span issues so i tend to have a hard time reading bios that are pretty long, but I do enjoy them on the medium side. Like others have said before, I really like bios that have a brief summary to the character right at the beginning. Just like the first chapter of a book, this can hook me in and make me wanna read more if it intrigues me. Its definitely helpful to have an easy to read bio for forum games and the like
I also enjoy css or html layouts that are simple but look nice. its really helpful when different paragraphs of information are in different sections and its easier for me to read.
i really like profiles that have big sections in the html/css and big text - it makes it easy to read! i usually really like reading profiles that are story-heavy and detailed, just because it's the kind of thing that helps me get a grasp on what the character is really like. i have energy levels that are generally pretty low so i cant always read super long profiles, but when i have the energy, it's always nice to just go for it!
