[APPLICATIONS - 2014-2015]

[mansionstaff]

APPLICATIONS FOR THE CURRENT WEEK ARE REVIEWED FRIDAYS.

UNLESS THERE IS A DELAY... which we'll typically announce. There are no application cycles in Smash! Send in applications whenever you want.
Note: We do not review apps in chronological order, but last-minute applications submitted at the buttcrack of midnight Friday might not get reviewed until the following week, so please be patient.

If you want to make sure no one else apps the character you are thinking of, head on over to the reserves first.

Before you apply or hit "post"...

• Read our rules. Acceptable Series, FAQ and Premise couldn't hurt either.


• Take a look at our application guidelines! This outlines what we expect in an application, and gives some inspiration and pointers if you're having trouble!


• Look at the taken list to make sure the character you want isn't already taken.


• Copy and use the application form that fits your character, whether they are returning, getting an update, or are brand new.


• Spell check, spell check, spell check.


• You may post a link to your application or post it in comment chunks. DW has a maximum character limit of 16,000 per comment, so that's quite generous and you'll probably be able to fit your app in just one or two comments! Here is a handy character count checker to see if that's the case.


• You may rehash old applications or samples so long as YOU are the one that wrote them. We may ask for a new, more setting-applicable sample, or if we are unclear on the character's voice/personality, however. If you plagiarize, you will be banned.


• Pokemon are allowed only two per player, and no more than three of the same kind at the same time.

Journal Entry 4

I've been here about a week... I miss home, I miss the family. What I don't miss is the constant strain of having someone or something trying to end all life as we know it or destroy one side or another's way of life. Am I selfish for saying that? I fight... Well we all fight in order to procure a better future for all of us, for everyone. But it's all felt so fruitless the past few years. I've never voiced this because that's what we do you know? We're, well, most of the family are adventurers and a lot of them have been fighting for far longer than me. Maybe they'd have a better answer...

I've been here a week... I know, I know, I've already wrote that but... Well, I have to say that the feeling here is vastly different. Do I want to go back? OF COURSE! But... at the same time, maybe I can probably learn something in this world that could help us back home? Yeah, yeah that's it! Something maybe...

Oh who am I kidding... You've known my true self more than anyone ever since I started to jot my thoughts down. I'm pathetic... I... I think this is where I stop before I hurt myself again. I've worked hard to try and be better. I think it's worked a little. Maybe this place can help me.

Accepted!

And right, I'll make sure that if anything of the sort comes up I add the appropriate tags and cuts! Thank you so much!
