[quote=@Lord Wraith]Maybe I'm misreading this, but does this mean you can simply just post in the thread within twenty-four hours of an application being posted that you'd also like to apply for the same character without providing a completed sheet? And if so, what is the allotted window for actually submitting the completed sheet?[/quote]

Within the same 24-hour period as the original application's posting. There's no time extension. You can post your intent and be considered in the running by us, but you still need to write an app within the same time window. Otherwise, the original applicant gets the character, provided they meet the criteria for approval. 

I'd also like to add an addendum for uncompleted apps, which includes my own, that the 24-hour contest period starts after the application is finished. So the last edit made with a complete sample is when that window begins.
