Application
To apply, fill out this form to the best of your ability and send it to the mod: venusannodomini AT gmail DOT com
The mod may ask you to give a writing sample. It's not necessary to write one until I ask for one. Not every person will have to write one. I will only ask you to write one if I can't tell enough by your application about your writing style, so consider your application a kind of combined profile and writing test, though my criteria won't be out of the ordinary. Punctuation, spell-checking, characterization (is this a Mary Sue?), etc. The basics.
ABOUT YOU:
Your Name: (not necessarily your real name, but what you want to be known to us as)
Age: (anyone can apply but you can only check out the naughty scenes if it's legal for you to do so in your area of jurisdiction. That's totally your responsibility. I won't be telling anybody your age.)
AIM Screen Name: (the one you will be using to rp. You don't have to make a special one just for this rp, any old thing will do.)
Pedigree: (how much rp experience do you have and of what kind? Be honest, there is no right answer. Being new to rp will not hurt your chances.)
