Hi,
I came here thanks to a post by telaryn on provideleverage and while it sounds like something I might be interested in, after reading through the rules, I'm still not clear on what exactly a landcomm game entails. Say I applied as a writer, what types of challenges should I expect? Would it be like a 5k fic/week? Would a writer on team Hitter only be writing from Eliot's POV? Are there examples from the last game that I could look at to get a feel for what's involved?

Hi!

Thanks for your interest!

Leverageland provides a couple of challenges a week. They're a combination of types of challenges - writing, graphics, puzzles, luck - and you're only obliged to try one of the challenges once a fortnight if you so wish.

One thing people cite as their favourite thing about Leverageland, though, is that they get to try things that are out of their comfort zones in a safe community. Our teams are really helpful and members help each other out to learn new things. Your team is your family, a place to make friends and learn new things and to know you have a place to spam or rant or talk about anything (not just the landcomm.)

You're not obliged to only produce Hardison-related things if you end up on Team Hacker, or Eliot-things for Team Hitter. Teams tend to embrace their character as a cheerleader willing them onwards to points.

The place I point most people to as a good example is sectionals, which was the old Glee landcomm and has been left mostly open. If you click on the different challenge tags, you'll get

Do the challenges allow you to choose how to fill them? I can write but I can't draw or do anything creative like that, will I be able to write for each challenge?

Challenges are usually a mixture of:
Games (puzzles, usually), writing challenges, graphic challenges, team games, luck challenges and mixed-media challenges (where you can write or art or whatever.)

You wouldn't be able to write for every challenge, but there'll be a lot of challenges you can write for. :) The fun part about landcomms is that you can play what you want, disregard the challenges you don't wanna do, but if you want to try one of the art challenges, we're a safe place to try things out, and you can even screen your entry so only I can see it. Most people join Leverageland with only one main skill or like, and at least pick up a new skill along the way! (I learned how to make gifs, which I thought I would NEVER do, because of leverageland. ♥)

SO basically no, you an't choose how to fill ~75% of the challenges. But there'll be plenty of opportunities to write, there's a lot of excellent people in the community to befriend, and if you love Leverage, it's just a great place to be. :)
