READ ME PLEASE?
Hey guys, just a few changes we'd like to make you aware of:
1. Tagging! Please tag yourselves when you make posts, and when you comment on other people's! This is important because it helps us check ~activity~!
2. Canon bumping no longer needs mod approval- so don't bother asking us, just go ahead! As long as you make an announcement OOC it's fine.
3. We now have a GLITCH POST, with one of those little forms we all love so much for you to fill out when you want your characters to go on a glitch!
4. We have changed the application slightly, mostly for clarification reasons for newcomers. The 'Arrival Post/Character Voice' section is now called 'Arrival Post (Third Person)' and the 'Third Person Sample' is now called 'Additional Third Person Sample'.
That is all! If you have any questions/comments/suggestions, please feel free to put them here. :D

Having two third person samples helps show us the range that the writer is capable of-- two wildly different samples is better than one, particularly when that one is a fairly standard arrival post, that naturally has to adhere to the conventions and limitations of an arrival post. The other sample can be anything, which gives a chance for the applicant to show creativity and flair, as well as a handle on decription and prose.
Plus, with a two week reserve period (plus the option of extension), asking for two samples really doesn't seem like an outlandish demand.
We're really just trying to maintain a standard of good writing with the challenging application, hope that makes sense.
