Dang, I wish I could get my boyfriend into RP. That'd be wicked. We could RULE THE WOOOOOORLD
Haha! Actually, my boyfriend's my co-admin at both my sites, so I really couldn't do it without him. He makes an awesome "bad cop" to my "good cop."
And ... well, it's wasn't technically a throwaway character, since he was a pretty important NPC, but I guess I assumed that when we filled the position, someone would make a new character and explain the succession, rather than rolling with my idea; it was very awesome.

Probably about 95% of the time, people don't care about Hufflepuff pushes as long as the Hufflepuffs don't care. They just assume that people won't do it, or if they do, then, well, let them go to Hufflepuff. It's kind of with the idea that, gosh, who'd want to be a Hufflepuff?!
Totally stupid and lame, but whatever.
If it makes you feel any better, I got told I was pushing Hufflepuff by a few folks, too. One even squibbed me for it. In the end, nobody will remember or even care. ^^

Of course it's all good. I don't normally randomly comment on someone's journal if it's not. XD
And we get rather possessive of people we like. I was being voted Gryff until Puff started claiming me then all the votes turned Puffy.

That's awesome! I loooove it when stuff like that can happen, rather than having to fabricate reasons for things. After all, life will happen and alter the paths of the RPG, which is what makes things interesting, but also can be insaaaanely frustrating. Ah, well, such is life, and we must take the good AND the bad. I'm glad to know that you could make something good about it. It's pretty awesome. ^^
Curses. Now I have TWO names prodding at me. Shoot. XD I guess I'll have to fuss over them later, though, since gosh. It's getting late!

I hate that idea, and I'm not even a Puff. For what it's worth, I happen to think I'm a perfect Gryffinpuff, with heavy sides of Ravenclaw and Slytherin :P. And yeah, the squib votes don't bother me so much, as long as I'm not squibbed in the end; a year, a month, a week later, I don't really expect anyone to remember my app.

I'm loving the possession. It's wonderful when members of a group think you belong with them - no matter what group it happens to be.

Yes, it was totally awesome - it even gave his character and mine some backstory that (I think) we've done wonderful things with.

I totally sympathise. For some reason, all my best/most insistent RP and character creation urges come late at night. But then, I'm a bit of a night owl.

I'm, and I tabulated this while I was being sorted (yes, I'm lame, shut up ^^), 85% Hufflepuff, with about 6% each of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, 0% Slytherin, and I had, 3% Squib votes. (It was 10 votes Gryffindor, 10 Ravenclaw and 5 squib, to 150+ votes to Hufflepuff.) Nobody would remember that now, although I do remember three of the people who squibbed me. (Two because I thought they were unfair reasons, and one, because she had to post it three times to get everything right, so I got the squib vote three times. XD) I think I've decided I'd rather my secondary house be Ravenclaw, because I always wished I were a Ravenclaw before. But there's no way around me being a 'puff. (And darn proud of it!)
I totally saw the Gryffinpuff in you. I feel proud now. ^^
But yeah. As long as things don't go hostile (and why would they?), it won't even matter after you're sorted.
GADS, I hope you're in my denwhen if you go to Hufflepuff! *wibble*

I agree.
Being included is a big thing with me.
and Puff chats are entertaining with the right people.

Mine, too! That, and on spur of the moment things. I've had the best long-term RP things come up with on the spur of the moment, just because I or one of my friends took an idea into our heads and jokingly suggested it. Taking it out in game always proves to make for some amazing scenes. (I have a scene that I should share of one of my characters just going off at her ten-years-younger cousin, who is a bit of a cad and used to date another character of mine *head spins*... oh, it was beautiful. I'd have to set up the backstory of the scene a bit better, though.)
I forget what my point was. XD I'm not usually a night owl... I'm actually dead tired right now, but I know as soon as I leave to go to bed, I won't be able to sleep for nigh on an hour, which does suck. I totally need to get a booklight to help quell these tendencies.

Yes! You were my very first vote, and I thought, "wow, that's totally correct." It was very awesome :)
Totally. I'd much rather go somewhere I wasn't expecting with people who wanted me, than somewhere I was expecting with people who didn't. Not that I'm counting my chickens votes before they're hatched I'm sorted >.>
Hee, hee, hee... I was your first! ^^ I will not go dirty places with that. I will not go dirty places with that. I will not go dirty places with that.
^^ It's always good when I can read an applicant well on their app. Some people don't write out their personalities very well.

Totally, some of my best ideas have come from chats with a friend (who used to run her own RP in the same fandom as my non-HP one); we'd be talking about our future plots and such, and I'd come up with all these ideas I never even knew I had until I wrote them down. Some of them are still being implemented; others I've lost, which really bugs me - I wish I'd saved the chat logs.
I was a bit worried about that; I know my app wasn't the longest. (I like to think I was being concise :P) But if even a few people get me, I know I can't have done that badly.
Urk, yeah! :( That'd totally bite. :\ Well, live and learn, right?
I think I now HAVE to join your game, just because, well, if we can geek out like this for how many comments now, obviously some good RP is in store. ^^
On that note, however, sleepy monkey must drag herself andher feline chillins to bed since the boyfriendhas already gone. XD
More later! :D

Hah1 I kept tabs on my votes like religiously. I was expecting to be squibbed because I hadn't finished HBP when I decided to apply.
and the 1 snuck in there...it kidnapped the !
Honestly, length isn't as important as detail and being able to articulate what you actually mean. A lot of people blather on and miss the point of what the application is trying to establish, which is to learn personality so we know where to sort. Ah, well. You succeeded, and I'm SURE you'll go to Hufflepuff. ^^ HURRAH.
(PS, I'm totally going to try to claim you forhannah_den, and if not, you'd better be in laura_den, because I said so! Not that... you have any say.)

Erm. Yeah. Anyway ... so am I, just quietly. Oh god, here comes my geek side ... I have a tally of how many votes I've gotten, plus a breakdown of the votes by house, comments I agreed/disagreed with, and reasons for my squib votes. Yeah, I think I mentioned obsessiveness in my app. I'd like to think I'm just excited >.>

I was worried about the comments after I initially posted, but I was originally aiming to see just how many squib votes I got. I'm a Head of House at another community or 2 >.> and the idea struck from a conversation about H_E and I decided to apply and see if I got squibbed.
and well now I'm an avid member XD

How could I not be in hannah_den - it's named after me!
In high school, I used to be able to blather on and on with virtually no real information, and still make it sound good. Then I went to law school, where essays had to be under a certain word count, and I learned to say everything I had to say with little to no superfluousness. But sometimes, a lot of people still think length = substance.

Hahha, well, I'm in hannah_den, and my name's Laura, so odds are you'll end up in a different den, just for grins and giggles. XD That seems to be how things work. Although, if I mention it to Shelly, I might be able to pull some strings. ^^
People applying to H_E seem to think that length = substance far too often. It rather hurts my brain, because usually said people will assert that they're Ravenclaw because of it. I don't think your app was particularly on the short side, because while reading it, I found it was pretty easy to get a feel for who you were and what your priorities are. ^^ So, yeah, you succeeded!
