"More and more I get the feeling I'm being excluded from the council"

I finally filled out my hogwartsishome application (Harry Potter community). Have been meaning to do that for a couple weeks now. And it looks as if there's a 2-week backlog of apps so mine probably won't even get voted on for awhile ( Read more... )

Buhahahahaha! Welcome to the world of online rp!

Don't forget to check out bad_rpers_suck now that you're One Of Us.

Who'd you apply for? An original character or a canon, and wow, HP rp fandom, go you!

Kurtastically yours,
Me

Ah, don't get TOO excited - it's not actually rp. I'm not THAT bold :) I should check that community out, though, cuz from what you've said about it (and the name alone, actually) it sounds like it would be amusing, at least. I just wish there was some way to gank my app back and re-do it without waiting 2 weeks for it to go through the queue ::frets::

Ah, don't worry. hogwartsishome is one of the nicer HP-communities on LJ. If they really think your application is too short they'll let you edit it. And they very rarely label anybody a Muggle. I think, only if the person is pushing to be in a certain house or bashing houses or the like. I don't think you'll have to worry. I was a part of it for quite some time and they're really very nice there. I left because there was just too much going on there. I just couldn't keep up with it. Plus I'm not really into big communities. But they have a variety of activities and an RPG and clubs and icon contests and ... well, lots of fun stuff :)

I'm obsessing too much about it - I am 99.9% sure I'm going to get a "no vote" due to the shortness of my answers. *sigh* I do feel better though, having read some more apps though, seeing that there are plenty of others who have re-done and re-submitted. I didn't bash any of the houses and I see they get more upset about that than app length, and rightfully so. But I doubt anyone will think it's long enough to get a feel for my house.

Oh well, I shouldn't stress.... ::trots off to watch SW::

wow you are so determined!! i took one look at that application and lazy me was like "whoooo! all those questions, no one to cheat off of, that's too much work, no way!!" i think that makes me a Slytherin.

lumy12 September 8 2005, 19:42:04 UTC

Yeah, it took a really long time - esp. when I realized they WANT you to ramble on and on. I'm used to giving short answers - don't want to bore people to tears. But I saw others with apps longer than mine who were getting "no" votes due to the length. I think I spent 2 hours on the finished version. Hope it pays off :)

I'm guessing I'll be a Hufflepuff, but we'll see. Yes I think you'd make a good Slytherin... look at your name, after all!

tzeitalmalfoy September 8 2005, 21:10:44 UTC

wait are you saying people got "no" votes cuz it was too long or too short? how do i know how long to make it?

lumy12 September 9 2005, 07:57:05 UTC

Only if it's too SHORT. They want it LONG LONG LONG.
I would suggest skimming some other apps on platform_934 before submitting your own and you'll get an idea. If it's too short they feel they don't know you well enough to sort you properly :)

You have to apply for ROLE PLAY???

Reason # 8686520 to avoid it.

lumy12 August 20 2008, 03:45:25 UTC

Yes! Though this application was to get into the comm itself -- there's a separate RP application. And it was all great fun, I did it for a couple years until my interest waned and keeping up with the activity requirements became more of a chore than something fun.

But yeah, applications are essential for a roleplay! The mods need to be able to reject total failboats.

...I can't believe I don't have any Harry icons, only this Lucius one remains of the HP iconage!

gizzi1213 August 22 2008, 01:44:06 UTC

Oh, Harry icons have fallen to the dreaded icon purges, huh??

lumy12 August 23 2008, 02:38:08 UTC

LOL I just edited this out of my last comment when I realized it was on a very recent post, knowing how paranoid you are about Nam catching on!

*totally spams your inbox* Believe it or not, I do actually leave some unanswered! How crazy would it get if we never dropped any of these threads?

But yes, I need new Harry icons. Updated ones. I just actually have to go looking for them now that I'm not in any HP comms... hmmmm.
