so, i'm considering apping into a game that requires entry examples. it's one of those ~fancy~ games like you find all over ~rps and ~pbads, with the cute layouts and usernames and a thousand subcommunities, ones which appear to focus a lot on comment spam and ic journaling. i have a lot of examples of threading and aim scenes, but i have never played in a game before where characters kept an ic journal. i also don't journal like that myself - and i never really have - so i'm sort of... at a loss as to what to write. and all the games on ij are flocked, so i can't even peep the comm's flists and see what other people are writing for an idea of what i'm supposed to be doing.

suggestions? ideas? advice? what does a typical entry update look like in an ij game? how long should it be? what do people write about, how their day is going, philosophical thoughts, what? would anyone mind showing me their examples?

A lot of times, it depends on the type of game. In the past, I've seen people in PB-based games write 500+ word journal entries about their day, thoughts about happenings IC, etc. In fandom games, I've seen as little as one or two sentences. Depending on the character and what they're doing at the time depends on what they've written.

I know for me, I've had long journal entries, but I've also had those one to two liner entries. I'll PM you some journals that have entries. I think, at this point, they're mostly fandom games (Harry Potter or Marvel/X-Men), but hopefully they'll be helpful. :)
