This is a poll I created to figure out what we here at Milovana like more. Do we like LONG pages with tons of reading? Story background? The girls talking to us more than telling us how to stroke?

I figure this will help the authors figure out what we like most, especially me. I'd like to write some teases someday and I'd rather know what you all like before I start.

Please feel free to pick your favorite answers, and then post to the thread on why you picked what you did.

Thank you!

I don't mind reading a lot, but please please make it easy to read. Don't write everything with caps lock on. Don't use subordinate clauses all the time. Use paragraphs. Use punctuation marks.

I love long pages as long as there is purpose. I'm against being stuck on a single page for hours doing 10,000 strokes while staring at one picture even though there are many great teases out there that do that. I feel like these teases could be even better if the page provided more to do while being stuck on the page (videos, instructions away from screen, etc) or split the instructions up into smaller parts with more pictures. I feel like if I have to actively make a choice to relieve my boredom of staring at the same picture for a long time by watching a video or reading a story that it ruins the immersion and sense of lack of control that is suppose to be the focal point of many teases.

So lots of reading is fine as long as 10,000 strokes isn't tacked on at the end because there is a lot of reading to do. On the other end of the spectrum being stuck doing nothing is not very fun. I love reading but if there isn't anything to do then perhaps it should have been written as a story instead of a tease? I guess what I'm saying is that I think pacing is extremely important so as long as pacing is properly adjusted then I'm fine with it.

I enjoy short pages more than long ones (especially on flash teases) because I personally like the pictures more than the words. It's ok to have an in-depth story, but I believe it should be paced out between the pages (if it's REALLY long maybe even paced between teases). I'm not against the occasional long page, but I just feel there should be a logical reason for it (i.e. doing a few sentences per page would just make it sound weird.
I hope this all made sense I kind of feel like I'm rambling nonsense. In short, I prefer short pages overall, but there are always exceptions where long pages are acceptable.
I also agree with Slaaf and Denied.

Some authors can say a lot with few words, other authors can say nothing with many. It entirely depends on the author's style. I don't think there's a general rule in this case. Personally, I make some teases with short pages and others with long pages as I feel each of my Mistresses is a character, just like in a novel or a play, and some would have more to say while others would have less.
