Especially if you're planning on adding updates, and people rating said updates may not have been the folks rating the initial role. It makes it easier for them to get an idea of where you're coming from and how the new chapters tie in.

It's a good snapshot of what you're supposed to be, what your plans are, etc. I can't speak for immortals but at least in my case browsing through pbfs I've found that I really love writing roles, not so much reading others so a bullet point is good for brevity.
Another thing, I know I've read some roles on here and the ICs and felt like the rating imm interpreted the point of the role/story completely differently than I did, so a concrete statement about your char might be a good way to ensure clarity. Can't remember any specific char names as an example at the moment though.
**Question for immortals** I'm sure you all have preferences for what kind of roles you like as far as writing goes, so do you guys ever pass on rating a role if you know it's not appealing to you? (I.E too short, too wordy, too abstract) Or is it just whoever happens to be reading it the time?

>Would you prefer a much more succinct role generally?
For me personally, not necessarily. If you've seen roles I've written, you'll know brevity isn't my strong suit.
>I'm unsure what you base role contests on: quality of writing, >role idea, uniqueness, all of the above, etc.
All of the above is ideal. I don't really judge format, but having something well organized in terms of line length/paragraph formation makes it easier on the eyes and something I'm more likely to read.
>I could very easily tell you exactly who the character is and >why, without the story telling. I'm not a bad writer, but I >certainly don't do it professionally and am uncertain anyone >would want to read my writing by choice.
You probably wouldn't receive top marks for just an outline, but I'm just speaking for myself. I love a good story.
