Help with a concept

Deinarious · Post by **Deinarious** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 7:06 pm

Alright, after being rejected three times for playing as a fairy, I have no more ideas, other than the original one that I was rewording...A shy, helpful female fairy mage. If anyone could help me with the concept, I would appreciate it.

It's helpfully, to read the Text about the elfs and then try to write a longer story, with an example of Rp you'd make with your elf. That's how i got mine.

I did that. Still wasn't good enough.

hm, maybe it's not the RP-thing, what is too bad, but the reason, why you want that new race.

All three times I've been rejected, it was about the concept.

Could it be , that since EVERYONE wants one, the GMS don't want badly-played fairies around, and are only keeping the best? maybe they have a fixed limit...calm down guys.

You got it.

The explanations don't have to be long, just clear and complete.
Atleast, they didn't have to be long for my goblin.
But fairies are likely suposed more rare then goblins, thereby they need to be played less but just because of that everybody wants a fairy.

Could you stick to only one or two exclamation marks per sentance? Thank you.

And you can apply again in a couple of months as i've read and you should have to.
There are alot of people looking for special chars now and its unfair if one guy keeps sending in requests cause then the GM that has to read them all will have to spend to much time on all of the requests.

And, just some advice when applying: Take your time to write the story and try to spell corectly, that should earn you some points.

Why not spend like... a whole week writing a story if you want the character so badly? A tiny essay that took 10 minutes isn't very attractive and it makes people believe you don't care enough to spend more time.

Mine took only about 15 to 20 minuites(I think...) and i have a goblin now.

Well, then you are obviously skilled!

I'm just saying, it's much easier to accept a page-long paragraph that has tons of details, rather than 2 or 3 sentences filled with worthless nonsense.

Mine took less than 5 minutes.

But you're Dónal.

I'm hoping my 15 minute write up gets accepted. My fairy was a reject. Only because I spent 7 minutes on it.

Deinarious · Post by **Deinarious** » Thu Jun 22, 2006 8:22 pm

Once again...rejected...I've read the background. I've read the help section. I...give...up! I obvioiusly can't roleplay an Illarion fairy. Ugh....
