Applications and stuff!

I have - this afternoon - finished the two apps I've been working on. I'm pretty sure role playing samples shouldn't be between 1-1.5k, though... But even though I've gone over it several times, I cannot whittle it down. I just don't think that the character is convincingly enough them if I start trimming bits out, especially given the prompt. Does that mean I don't have the characters down well enough, or that I'm trying too hard? I think I really want to play this game, for sure; that might be all there is to it.

Anyway, I will beta them properly before I send them, and catch up on my tags. Hum!

MY INTERNET BROKE FOR LIKE 3 HOURS EARLIER. It destroyed my evening, seriously. I had to go do housework instead. Now I'm sulking.

What else~ Er...the weather is truly horrible, and has been for the last four days. There is wind and rain pounding at my windows again, and you can get tired of the weather being like this. *sigh*

Ooh. Shiny episode of shiny. Maybe I'll watch it now.

That reminds me; I finally watched Diamond Dust Rebellion the other day because I realised when I started rping Toushirou with SeeMe that I didn't understand much about his character at all. Now I have absolutely no idea what is real and what isn't, and it's bothering me. Does DDR count as canon? A lot of the content actually disturbed me, because I remembered some of the terrible things Central 46 has decreed etc. Of that, what happened in the film is probably the worst thing, and that really, really bothers me. That they don't listen. That they judge without evidence, or don't want to see the evidence. Guilty until proven innocent, and nothing but tools to be used. And they picked on Hitsugaya, which is unforgiveable. *sniffle*

So...what? Disregard? Or is it as canon as Isshin's 'Good Morning Ichigo!' pleasedon'tletitbeIwouldcry

They have an entrance scenario, ne? I think you probably know what I'm apping for, anyway. But what I've ended up with is long. Maybe not so long that it will kill them, since I reread it. But still long. I do feel, though, that to cut it down too much might be detrimental. I want to make sure they know that I know the characters, and that I'm going to be fun to play with, and such. So it's...yeah. I think it's alright. They don't have a word limit, but they have a word minimum. I don't think it's too surprising that I exceeded it, considering.

I think what you consider with canon and everything else is about how I feel -- if I say I'm manga canon in my fics, and take out anything that develops a character I'm using, then I can use it without really stepping away from the manga, I guess. But if I used a lot of it, I'd probably warn that it included extra-canon, or something, just so I didn't leave my readers confused. I think sticking to the manga to the best of my ability is the best thing; but with Hitsugaya, where there is a great stretch of his Academy life that is unexplained, that he had a friend at all is quite a striking fact. If I include it, I have to include all of his angst about it as well. But if I don't include it, and were to craft it from scratch, are people going to read it and think 'But that's not right, he had a friend at the Academy...' I think they would.

Hahah - not that I'm writing Hitsugaya right now. Although I did mention writing something about him that was meant to make everyone love him who read it XD It's quite a challenge, so I think maybe I'm still up for it.
