Howdy all. Just to give a bit of information and some approximate timelines, I'm feeling like a week or so for other interests and sheets to get submitted or updated is a good soft spot before I 'close' applications. In that time I'll fiddle with some notes and prep work, but the goal of all of this is low stress. To that end, the following ramble; I know I have a tendency to be verbose. I know some of the people here have a tendency to be verbose. Large posts are good. So are short posts. Posts are good. Hitting submit, post, publish, send, confirm, etc. is good. I am stressing that doing anything at all is good, and if one person decides to do a longer post versus a shorter one that this is not the environment to shame or judge either side of that equation. I'm aiming for vibes here. So let's have good vibes. Just because I might drop a bunch of lore/novel/words in an opening post or a particular storytell does not mean I expect that same level of word count or flavor in return. As long as we're all giving effort and having fun, that's all that I care for. If I am belaboring this, it is only because I am attempting be absolutely thorough in this explanation. I am also trying to re-teach myself that sometimes all you gotta say is a few things and get that out to the player, because in past Guild efforts I have definitely gotten lost in trying to force 'productive' posts where I try to always keep things moving noticeably forward and those past roleplays have all paused or failed and I've been thinking about those a lot lately.[b] The road for all of you is open, there aren't any rails, but there will definitely be obstacles.[/b]
