A small hint on account applications
Around 80% of the account applications we receive these days have one fact in common, the ending of the story goes like this:
"...and aftar taht i grap meh zword and kill all guys after taht i safe da world then i dring beer in tavenr and talk to friendz"
Don't wonder if we reject such applications! Take some time and write a true ending of the story, two lines are simply not enough for us to judge your abilities in creating stories and your fantasy.

Same holds for an application that consists to 90% of the given story. We want you to write 500 characters of your own ideas. I doubt that this is too much, we often receive stories that are longer, by far.
So, please, do not submit the beginning of the story, just your ending. Save our time and your time.

damn
My story ending was rejected plz help me to make a good story ending
Well, we can't help you create a story, as it is a test to prove your capability of fitting in with the game world. However reading the following links should allow you to develop an understanding of what is needed.

Just some general remarks (not adressing "Lionheart"):
There are two languages in which we accept stories: German and english. There is a simple reason why we don't accept other languages (spanish, l33t, polish,...): Not every team member understands them. In fact, the mentioned languages are not understood by a single team member (am I right?).
So, try to use proper english. Sentences start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. Abbreviations like "u" "lol" "omg" are frowned upon. Same holds for german, by the way. Write just you were told in school!

Hmmm...Now I'm slightly worried. I didn't want to waste too much of your time so I made the story interesting with plenty of room to continue....but it wasn't very long. It wasn't a one liner, but it wasn't quite 500 words either. I'm still in the application process and now I'm wondering if I'm going to get away with it......

Mine wasn't very long, either...I'd estimate about 300-350 words, and I got accepted the day after I applied. I wouldn't worry too much, they are basically looking to see if you have fairly decent RP abillities.
