Applications
In order to apply to Rivelata, please fill out the form below, and post it here. You should receive a reply within 1-5 days regarding your application. Sometimes, we ask for revisions or sources; please don't be offended!
Oh, and IF YOU HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED ONCE BEFORE, YOU DON'T NEED TO WRITE FIRST-PERSON SAMPLES AGAIN. Yay!

Application Guidelines
And now, for your convenience, a general rundown of what we seek from applications. Be sure to read these before applying!
General
• Applications should not have any references from outside sources, especially Wikipedia. All of the writing should be your own.
• Watch your spelling, grammar, and capitalization. You can have a decent application length and content wise, but everything goes out the window if you can't spell or word yourself correctly. Consider reading over your application several times and running it through a spell check before submitting.
• Format your application so it is easily readable. Indent paragraphs, don't give huge blocks of text. If the moderators find it difficult to read because of this, it may be rejected based solely on that.
• Pay attention to the minimum requirements for certain application sections, listed below. You will be asked to revise them if you don't meet them the first time.
Application
PLAYER
NAME: Your name or alias.
PERSONAL LJ: Your personal LiveJournal. Not required, but preferred...
EMAIL/MESSENGER(S): Emails are required, because we need this to contact you if issues come up. It is also helpful for other players to contact you this way. Additionally, please list your usernames on AIM, MSN, Yahoo!, whatever you happen to use. Not required, but extremely recommended, because it's faster than email.
CHARACTER
NAME: Your character's name.
FANDOM: The show, book, movie, etc. that they come from. (For allowed fandoms, see the FAQ.)
TIMELINE PERIOD: At what point they are taken from in their canon - i.e., chapter 131, just before this happens, but before that.
BACKGROUND: A general survey of your character: good things to touch on would be personality, personal history, their role in canon. Abilities, too, if it's applicable, especially if they happen to be particularly godmodery. (In which case they've got to be toned down; see the FAQ for help.) The golden rule here is quality, not quantity - novels are not required. However, we would like to see at least 3 solid paragraphs.
SAMPLES
THIRD PERSON: A sample of how you would write your character in a log in
rivelatalogs. Minimum of 200 words.
FIRST PERSON: A sample of how your character would be speaking if they were posting in
rivelata. Minimum of 5 sentences.
NOTES
Anything else you need to add? Please note if your character was on reserve here, or if you're not doing a first-person sample because you've already got other characters in the game, etc., if applicable. Thanks!
