What does that mean?
It means that in order to be a part of this storybook; you must submit an application; and in addition have the storybooker badge. This application must consist of the following, to be filled out as completely as you can and PMed to me:
Spoiler
- Code: Select all
1. How active are you usually in storybooks? IE. I post twice a week.
2. How long have you been an active storybooker?
3. Have you every started a storybook of your own; or co-started one? If so;provide a link.
4. An example of a character profile you have made before (link):
5. An example of a storybook post you have made before (link):
6. Why are you interested in joining this storybook?
Why do I need to submit an application to this storybook? That's kind of extreme; Tori.
Good question! The answer is simple enough. I want to create an extremely high-quality storybook. When I first became an avid storybooker; the quality of the SBs was generally exceptional. They were formatted, generally well-kept up, the posts were entertaining and used correct grammar, and the character profiles were impressively long and detailed.
I miss those storybooks; and I want to preserve the integrity of this forum a bit. So rather than inviting people and making others feel left out, or by letting anyone and everyone join, I am making you apply so I know beyond a doubt that you will keep up this storybook and try hard- with quality posts.
That's a dumb reason.
Geesh. How about this? If this storybook is successful; I plan to compile the posts and make them into a novel or novella; to be edited and possibly sent to a publisher under the names of all contributors.
How will you judge applications?
After I have received your application; I will PM you telling you that I have received and am reviewing it. I will then analyse all areas of your application and determine if you may join this storybook or not. I am not judging with any bias- I am simply checking to see if you exemplify the qualities I am looking for to be in this storybook.
If you are accepted; I will PM you telling you so and you may create your profile. If I reject your application; I will PM you telling you so and donate 1000 points to you for making an effort. If my plan for publishing works out by some crazy streak of luck; you will be given an acknowledgement in the back. Of course; this is highly unlikely.
Good luck to everyone!
Commence asking questions and/or discussing the SB.
