Your role is more or less secured from the start [i]if[/i] the character brought forth in the sheet meets my requirements and all of the rules present for this role-play can be followed. Obviously, I can't just accept any character into the role-play, but so long as they're fitting to the role-play I don't plan on rejecting them without a good reason. There's a difference between 'playing favourites' and not letting everyone just join even if their characters aren't appropriate. Admittedly, the number of people that we seem to be getting is growing quite significantly, but I [i]did[/i] mention the seven players wasn't a cap -- it was more like a minimum.

However, it'll be a while before the IC commences, as I've mentioned a few times now. We need time to discuss certain details (like we're currently doing), and I need to find out how many people showing interest are genuinely in this for the long run and weed out the people who're just going to be whimsical and ruin the game for everyone else. With this in mind, there's only a few people I can guarantee a place in this game currently -- those who've clearly shown me their devotion. I'm not implying I think you lack devotion, by any means, but I want to find out which people are truly interested in this. With this in mind, character sheets aren't completely open for registration yet, though I encourage those who [i]want[/i] to work on them to go ahead.

Edit: To answer your other question -- no, I haven't, but there's a lot of people who think I should and one of my friends is seemingly [i]very[/i] adamant about helping me sell my main story project someday. My main project isn't a CYOA story though.
