i see, personally i get that out of the way in the beginning, it's only right to cover your do-and-do-nots all up front; tense, genre, pairing(if applicable) and availability


though i could never knock a person for post length unless they were a chronic one-liner, just like a real convo or story sometimes short and sweet is the way to go and sometimes you need to pack your wall climbing gear, it's anyone's guess when is the appropriate time for any particular length until it's time to write


i'm not into first person either for the same reason, it's too reflexive, but to be honest the /only/ reason i did not grab you or uze from the beginning is tense, past tense is the easiest to write in and it makes for a clean read, if its so ugly and tangled as to discourage a second read or worse, /need/ a second read to be understood, what is the point? too few can write in current tense anyway and actually do a good job and none of those people do it for free haha
