Hey New Person,
Well, in order for the Mods to get a good idea of your roleplaying skills, we need an audition post out of you. Theres no hard and fast rules about what it should be about or anything like that. Write what you want to, more or less.
But please, in your post do the following:
1) Include your character, even if their bio is in the theoretical stages. Also, include your email! This way, we know who to contact.
2) Write in third person past tense. No "I went here or theres," which is first person tense. Its more like a story and not a narrative.
3) Run at least some spell check. Your Mod isn't a hardcore jerk when it comes to perfect spelling, but at least make it readable and have it make sense!
4) Of goodly length. Mods tend to panic and run in circles when an audition post is two sentences (or less). So aim for a paragraph or two (and by paragraph, five well formed sentences each). Less is not more, o' future student.
