Roleplay. Yes. Writer. No

Post by Axiom »

I have been a in depth Roleplayer for years but unfortunately I am NOT the best of story writers. Whether I get in or not I wish there was a more in depth screening process that will take into account that not every Hard Core RPer is also Ernest Hemmingway.

Just my 2 cents
Thanks for listening

You don't need to write an excellent quality story. More like just enough to show you're not a complete n00b.

We're not looking for a best-selling novel. The application system is mostly just to test that 1-You can think of some creative roleplay in a random roleplay situation, and 2-You can type decently and legibly in English or German (whichever you chose to write your application in). Just leave out any junk and give it your best try. :)

Legibly!?!? I'm DOOMED *sobs*

I gave it my best shot thats for certain, I just hope its good enough. I am really a horrible typist. Part of its not my fault though!! Honest! THey make these keyboards for circus midgets :D

In all seriousness, I really hope it is good enough since I am a graphic designer I do well with images but my writing really is high levels of stinky. ;)

You seem to have the determination and will to roleplay. The only thing is that we think it would help yourself several times better to write readable sentences. Remember: it's difficult to have fun roleplaying if others are having trouble understanding you. No huge requirements. Just a few fixes in typing.

Believe you me I try.

I even have thought about looking into a few decent online writing courses since it would REALLY help me in my profession (if anyone knows of any good online writing courses feel free to drop me a line...hint hint) Now I am trapped at work and I have to wait until tonight to explore! Nooooooo!

From the quality of your posts here and Arien's winking face, I'd say it's a safe bet that you're in!
