Amen, to the difficulties of trying to communicate on-line. I've been involved in the internet for 10 years or more, well before there were "smileys" and such, other than those which people invented using commas, semicolons, paretheses, etc. and even with those, it has always been difficult to not interpret or be misinterpreted when communicating over the simplest of subjects! Trying to communicate well enough to begin a possible relationship with another via this kind of medium is even more difficult and more prone to problems! [:o]
As others have noted, each will have their own preferences. I know some who absolutely love receiving long emails and others who hate them. I do know that the first 50 words or so of a message can either capture a woman's interest or may cause her to quickly move to the next one. So you may want to focus on how you begin your post. If you can also end it on a strong note that is positive and upbeat, that might also help to inspire a response as well. The former gets them to continue to read, the latter might get them to respond if they liked what they read in-between. I think that was something I learned in a writing class that stuck with me for more than the length of the class. [:D]
As a final note, I'll suggest that its my opinion that what you want to do is to start a dialogue. It's not necessary to show that you're everything a Mistress might want in one single post. Taking it in little steps gives both of you an opportunity to learn about each other in smaller bits and pieces without investing too much time in any single message. If you later decide to invest time in writing longer posts, that's a choice you can decide to make at that time. I hope this is helpful to you. [:)]
