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?
