The Silver Lining Adoption Place (CLOSED FOR CD)

Herm... Honestly I feel a little sorry for Wolfspirit >-< I remember when I first started roleplaying all my character forms were uber short because I hadn't had enough practice to be able to fill in a whole three paragraphs of anything. I got way better with practice, I can now make a ten paragraph history within a little over an hour, but it helped that people didn't immediately turn me away when I was first starting... Maybe you guys could make some suggestions instead of chasing a new person off with just slamming them with requirements instead of giving them any advice or ideas. Yeah, three paragraphs isn't much to someone who's been doing this for a long time, but for someone new to this, it seems an impossible amount without any encouragement...

I'm sorry that you feel like this, but Afrca, or Fey to us, is right too. We are currently working on a Critique part and what makes a good form and what makes a bad form. Me and Tesshin were just inforcing the rules, Tesshin a little more blunt than me, which is our job on this topic.

I'm sorry to say this but no. Three paragraphs is absolutely nothing if you really want the character. It can't be any shorter other wise what is the point in even having a history section on the form? I've tried with suggestions, encouragement, but honestly I am just getting fed up. I have offered to help out with the forms, and am always willing to do some basic crit, but no one listens to me and takes up the offer. Too many of them nowadays are just putting up a form, THEN having to be TOLD the rules instead of reading them in the first place and instead of accepting help, they just give up. I'm sorry but in that situation, I can't do a thing.

Lawl, I didn't say I thought he was right XD I realized that they hadn't read the rules before applying and that you guys were just doing your job, I was just saying that you guys seemed to jump on him real fast. I was just doing a little sympathizing because I am a fluffy and that is what fluffies do xD Honestly I feel more sorry for you guys who have to constantly work with the people who don't read the rules.

[Solanum]

I gave up with the fluffiness a long time ago. No one seems to read the rules at the moment, but yeah... Maybe I should at least try and offer to help again. If they don't want my help then so be it. Nothing more I can do after that. It's the ones that come back whining that get me...

Sorry for the spam Fey D:

[Syra]

Lawl spam, anyhow...

You guys would take a squirrel donation right? *getting idea*

[Keriae]

Of course we would! It's nice to have some variation.

[Solanum]

Yeah ^^ We would.
As long as it obeys the rules of donations, which is an easy thing to do as there are none. xD

Though I agree that the character would not have been given to them, I find out mods gettig a bit strict around here. We want people to like this place and enjoy it, not be slammed as soon as they arive. Maybe we can tone it down a bit? A bit if helpful encouragment could have been useful here. ^^'
