I'm not so much a fan of steampunk, personally. Just feels like a sort of limited writing palette.

Actually, I agree. I kind of think that steampunk is silly.

Hey guys, here are some updates. I ran out of bullets for my lists so I'm using these squares.

■ In lieu of applications (Which take forever) I'm looking through all your post histories to look at your writing. I'mma choose 2-3 people based on a lot of different factors, enough to be kind of a pain in the ass to list, so lemme just assure you in advance that if I don't pick you, it has less to do with me thinking you're a bad writer and more with the cadence of your writing, repeating phrases, how much you've reread and re-edited your stuff or some arbitrary GM reason. Just a warning, raising a high bar here. And the bar's not even my son.

■ I'm gonna write a bunch of story prompts, pick some off the internet, rework a fable or two, and hopefully have 12 story prompts. Who knows, this might be hard as shit and I'll have like five. Probably not, though. Probably. Anyway, I'll have prompts I'm already cool with, so the genre/style prompts will hopefully be varied enough for 2-3 people to agree on one. I'm putting a lot of faith in democracy here, don't be shitty and disappoint me.

■ The PM of Acceptance will be sent out tonight before I go to sleep, so this thread is closed to any new applicants. The only other update worth mentioning isn't even big enough for a bullet square, but I figured I should let ya'll know I plan on us putting the completely re-edited, shiny, finished chapters in The Gallery. We can all post them, since the posts will hopefully be worked on by all of us and not have any one of us taking sole credit, so don't worry about your 1337 post count. Figured an audience of sorts would be incentive for us to keep going. Thank you all for your interest, I hope we can really write something worth reading. Th-th-th-tha-that's all, folks.
