I'd forgotten there was a time when that was considered to be a full and complete application

I was going to crib from that too for an upcoming Folken app...

I don't think I could get away submitting that in 2016

Tenderly reaches for a_fac

;u; i was the 4th person to app in

i came in MUCH closer to the end, but it was still fun!

ahh, it was a blast!

also a complete headache at times

but mostly a blast

A blasting headache??

What an app. Why was it broken into chunks?

i think partly because of word count restrictions for posting comments on LJ

and partly because I was writing it all first draft into those comments and thus was doing the sections one at a time

XD Oh god

Nobody was using journals to house their apps back then?

oh nooo

of course not!

because people could edit their journals at any time~

What were they used fr then?!

??? That's.... a bad thing????

whereas once an app is typed, it's out there in public

so people won't cheat and edit it up after submitting

Cheat????

oh yes

if you submitted an app it was submitted

you couldn't dive in and keep adding extras

But... typos? Sentences that could be fixed???????????

or sneakily edit it up and argue with the mods that nuh uh, that section was always there

whaaat the fook

RP is a stupid hobby, why am I here

different times, different values

it shifted over the years

I have a feeling there's a reason I wasn't involved in it THEN but have meandered over now.

nope, if you edited up your typs too much, that was a sign that you weren't that great at English to begin with

I say, being the typo queen, that was a difficult one for me

I guess it'd mean that you would potentially be editing your posts all the time in game which could be annoying.

but if you couldn't write out a decent app with minimal typos, then obviously you were going to be dire to play with

I wonder if that ever held true?
