Cathy - I would prefer it if you posted your applications here. Of course, if you insist, I will read through PMs as well. And you have an idea of what the character is about. So give yourself some convenient starting position and write. Once the IC begins, I will give specific starting positions for everyone Craft - A paragraph is usually about 30 - 60 words. But more than that, a paragraph is a segment of the scene. It is not the length so much as the content. Halvtand - Your fears are not unfounded, but if you notice, I have placed her somewhere near the Gor hating miner's apprentice. Also, your IC starting position will be determined by me and I will ensure it so that every character has at least one other character nearby to interact if they choose to.
