After ten years of roleplay, I'm prepared for some... Eccentricities.

I'm torn between attempting to read through the IC wholesale and the rational part of me screaming that it will be the effort of a week.

There's also another option. We're doing a S2, which means you won't have to read through the IC because it takes place a few months after this one. You could merely work on your idea and put it up to get accepted for S2, like others are doing, so you'll be ready for us to contact you when the thread is up. During that time, you can decide what city you want your PC in and who you can build stories, connections, ect around within those cities so it's already when you start. 

This way you don't have to read the IC at all really, unless you want to get the feel for your PC. Then just do as Ded stated.
