I think it would be a good idea to set up an entry where people could put the permissions posts for their characters, that way they are all in one spot for people to find!
To make it easy to search through, I might also suggest you set it up similar to the 'taken' thread and list characters alphabetically by first name (not by fandom, because a lot of us don't recognize a decent chunk of the fandom they're playing with).
With the AC this month, this really brought to mind a few issues, and I think you guys are aware of some of them already, but have some ideas that I know a few people I spoke with already said they thought were pretty good

This is regarding the app, and it's something I noticed because I've pretty much mucked myself up on both apps XD.
I'd like to suggest a 'skills' and/or 'abilities' (or 'powers') section added to the app.
Couple of reasons.
First is a personal glitch, which is that I (and I'm sure others), don't see the strengths and weaknesses as a place to put things like what alchemy, summoning, heightened sense, etc, a character may have. So if an applicant isn't paying attention (like, oh, say, me), well, those things don't get mentioned unless and until they put up a permissions post, which can lead to a lot of 'add ins' later. And although I know we're on the honor system in regards to that (and just about every player here is pretty darn 'honorable')...it would make things more concrete, you know

This is kinda in agreement with Derek-mun, but a little different. I think. /shot
I like the skills/abilities/powers section idea. However, I think it could be done a little differently than Derek-mun suggests. What I propose is that you turn 'personality' and 'strengths-weakness' into 'personality' and 'physical skills/abilities/powers and weaknesses'.
As it is, I find that every app session I do the personality part, get to strengths and weaknesses, and think... "Wait, mental/emotional strengths and weaknesses? Didn't I... just ramble for three paragraphs about that?" There's never much left after the personality section to put into the mental and emotional components

Just a small thing, but would it be possible to have the weather calendar past months archived somewhere? I mean, just about everything else is archived already, so why not that? I bring it up because I've forgotten how early it snowed last year in comparison to this year.
