Application Process Example

Please note that the characters used for examples are not characters currently in play or currently applied. They were just selected to give examples of how we go through our process.

Things to note:

Homer #1 is without a vote and Jade skipped straight to Spock because she doesn't know Simpsons canon, but she does know Star Trek. She's hoping that ( Read more... )

Reject 1 / Discussion for OC App stormcoming March 10 2008, 04:21:14 UTC

So... is it just me, or does Charlie not really... have much to him?

I say they should app this character as an OC if they want him, canon just doesn't GIVE US enough about this character to apply for them here, if at all.

OC APP + STAMPED glock30 March 10 2008, 05:12:43 UTC

I agree on this one, for sure. Charlie's the kind of guy who really doesn't have much to go on, and this could benefit from being apped as an OC.

Supplemental Personality Sample Request crone_mod March 9 2008, 09:49:41 UTC

I checked wikipedia for a little more information on this guy and found that the personality section in this application is c/p'ed directly from wiki. Since we need to see that the applicant is actually capable of understanding their character's personality, I want to request a second write-up of the personality that shows that.

Sample Request 2 --> Stamped stormcoming March 10 2008, 04:22:04 UTC

I agree on this one. The whole point of that section is to see the mun knows the character THEMSELVES, they need to write it.

I think this is a pretty solid reviewing process. This is definitely the most organized RPG application process I've seen, and I think I've seen the fewest OOC characters here. The only down side is how long some applications can take, but considering how many there are...yikes.

A question: What happens if someone applies as a character whose canon none of the mods are familiar with? Do they just ask their friends then?

Ooh, you found us before the unveiling! XD

There are cases where it happens. We really hope that people will use peer review then. (Which reminds me that I should get a mock peer review in for one of these entries to show what happens with those.)

If none of us know the canon, then we are counting on the information sections of the application coupled with the personality section to give us something to go on. If we have time, we may poke around the wilds of the internet for more information, but as you've noted, we have a lot to deal with, so we don't always have that time.

I'm sneaky like that.

*nods* I figured it was something like that. (I was curious because I know Kaye's fandom is really obscure.) Either way, I bet between the five mods you all have a lot of fandom covered for most cases!

And thank you for letting us have a glimpse. (: It's a lot more comforting to know how it works than to keep wondering. my app babiez are changelings and wouldn't taste very good
