Personally, I like RP's which have a lot of Freedom. They never last very long, but that's not what counts in RP's. What counts is what you yourself enjoy, if others don't like it then they don't, just how it is.

I¨ll use my own RP's as an example here. The majority do not last long before I follow my own path and refuse to adapt to others' tastes, I also enjoy short stories that are easy to keep track of.

The vast majority of RP's end up beiong long, for example, Harold's RP's go on for ages, his current RP has gone on for more than an entire year by now, probably near 2 years.

My longest RP was a free RP that went through 7-8 threads back in the day.

Bottom line, do what you feel like doing.
