At least if you're writing something you know, with knights.

I mean, depends on what you're writing, and the tone and theme of what you're writing. Trained armored knights were legitimately monstrous on the battlefield, so looking up how they fought helps.

As much as there's a lot of reasons twitter sucks, I genuinely don't want to see it die for the sake of all the artists who now rely on it. Hoping the shithead stops trying to directly administrate.

Hey, sorry for the delay! The holidays got in the way and I'm feeling a bit under the weather.
But let's get started on those acceptances:
@AThousandCurses: Yuichi is accepted!
@DarckLeon: Kazama is accepted!

@Conscripts: Sorry, took a bit over the holidays. Just want to chat with my co-GMs before we make the final call.
The ball was bustling. People were everywhere. The girls talking with Sir Gerard. Lady Veilena, briefly eyeing Velbrance as she prepared to speak. The First Princess, excitedly approaching two of the three living founding Knights. The grim visage of Haelstadt observing the ball from the sidelines.
Fanilly opened her mouth. She was going to greet Veilena, and Dame Serenity.
But then there was a voice in her ear.
It was a little girl's.
"Ahead of the First Princess. Look now."
"Ah...?"
Her eyes travelled swiftly across ball, and widened when they fell upon something that shouldn't have been there.
A hooded figure, exceptionally small, a short crossbow in one hand, leather and cloth in dark colors covering her body. Almost-gleaming yellow eyes beneath the good. Somehow no-one around her seemed to notice as one delicate hand trained the crossbow on First Princess Elisandre-
Fanilly was already turning, running. She didn't understand what was happening, how the small assassin had managed to get so far without even a single person seeing her. But she had to be stopped, she had to!
"Stop her! Stop her now...!"
The trigger was pulled.
The bolt flew.
But it never reached its target.
It had stopped, one delicate, elegant hand gripping it and having ended its trajectory instantly.
Lilette's stern gaze fell upon the would-be Assassin, as she lowered her hand. Crimson dripped from her palm, but still she held fast on the bolt.
"Iron Roses, to arms!" cried Fanilly, "Stop her! Do not let the assassin escape!"
An attempted assassination of one of the royal family, here, now? So brazenly in the middle of the ball? But how was it that no-one had seen the assailant until now? These questions raced through the Knight-Captain's mind.
But that was why the assassin had to be captured, not killed.
"BAR THE EXITS!" bellowed Sir Adeforth's voice over the crowds, "What in the blazes were you doing!? Bar them now! Now!"
The crown knights were moving as swiftly as possible to bar any potential routes of escape. But the small assassin was moving, too, swiftly, even after having frozen in shock at being discovered she was darting away as quickly as possible.
"Haelstadt!" came Veilena's voice as well, "Get ahead of her!"
The towering black knight as moving now, as well.
They had to stop the assassin. They had to capture her.
The had to know what was going on...!

@hatakekuro: I am planning on giving her some more time, but I will probably make some selections after Christmas regardless.
@Mistress Dizzy: I hope things work out for you okay, Merry Christmas.
@Dragonfly 9: Thanks for letting me know.
@Dragonfly 9: Thanks for letting me know.
I will probably start looking through current signups and making some decisions after Christmas.
@The World: Added to the list.
@The World: Hmmm. To be honest I feel like the backstory is a bit of a mess, and her occult obsession doesn't figure into her later feelings at all. If you want to go with the occult interests I'd lean into that harder rather then the later elements.
@Mistress Dizzy: I'm going for a Tokyo-lite kind of approach.
As for expected post rate, I'm looking for at least once a week.

@The World: Actually, on second review of your bio, I'm a little concerned the backstory trends a bit too over-the-top? Multiple street gangs(and I'll admit the names are a bit on the nose) that kill multiple people and somehow escape justice the entire time is a bit much.
I'd try focusing in on a single tragic event and how its impact twisted her life around it. I want emotional baggage and trauma is definitely not bad for the purposes of narrative and character development, but it feels a bit like a conga line here.
