Unrelated but still somehow related. I get saddled with "favoritism" a lot, but to be fair it isn't always, even if it seems like it. I am more willing to work with people that actively bring ideas to the table and if those ideas fit because the person knows what they're talking about and what they're doing. If you hang around discord chat all the time but don't ever post or know anything about current plots going on and bring me some random idea, there's a good chance I'm going to say no. But then you can't be mad when someone that does actively get involved in the site lore and threads and plots brings an idea with all the supporting reasons why and it gets approved, this is not favoritism. I'm not playing favorites because I "like them more" than whoever. I'm approving a well thought out idea that actually fits overall by someone that puts in the effort instead of haphazardly doing something they want to do that doesn't fit anyone but themselves.

The same thing with cliques and rp buddy favorites. I try my hardest not to have favorites. Effort is simply met with effort. Give me effort, and I'll return it. Show me you are as passionate about the project as I am, that you understand what is going on in the world and where the thing fits in. It will likely be approved. Bring me a plot that only makes yourself important and is meant to blow ego up your ass, it's not happening. Sorry. That's just how it works, at least for my sites. Each has their own.

boy, i am glad it wasn't me that started things this time :fanself:

aww. i hope he gets better soon

I prefer learning about characters within threads as well. However, piggybacking on someone else, I'm also an admin. Reading all the apps is kind of something I have to do. However I do often forget like... all of the information anyways. Hell, I even have to refer to my own apps like 90% of the time. So it's not that I don't want to read apps before posting with people. It's that give me 5 minutes and I'm going to forget it anyways. Or I'll read it wrong and have to clarify it 81047293820342 times anyways. Besides that, not rereading them a bunch of times leaves my characters subjective too. While I know this doesn't work for everyone, it's not a respect issue or anything like that. It's that I have frogs for brains and won't recall it anyways...

edit: also. Isn't it also kind of the point to regurgitate some information from thread to thread with different people? Like if your character meets someone new each time, of course they're not likely to just spit out their whole back story, but revealing pieces at a time, or developing new things that might not be in an app... Isn't that also the point? Not that reading apps for people isn't important, but it is a hobby. and some people like to be surprised about things that may or may not develop. You don't need to read apps to learn about characters, not if you're paying attention in the threads themselves. Characters will reveal what they want to about themselves. That's part of what makes it fun. At least to me anyways. Again, everyone is different.

i would also like to melt in my bed, but the repetitive nightmares said no Q.Q

you dont think so? I thought good guys were always first.
