Officially closing applications! If you are yet to turn in your form message me and you can get an extension. Am working on the cast list and all the applications are SO good; this feels impossible. So it might take a while as decisions are tough!

Main cast forms are due in a few days! Thanks for all your patience; I have started working on the cast list so do get those forms finished asap if you still want to be considered.

I can't wait to get started! Do let me know if you have any questions.

Hi all, thank you so much for the applications! We now have enough applications to start, and so I'll begin the casting process. However, this might take some time because I have just gone back to Uni and I have a very busy start to my term, so to be totally honest I don't expect I'll be able to get the cast list out until the end of Jan/ start of Feb.

So, I'm going to keep applications open for a little while to give anyone a chance to apply who hasn't etc. We could do with one or two more Ba'althosi OCs - I don't think we've had anyone apply with 'the touched' so that could be fun!

Also, if you're up for making a cover dm me! I made this one the other day but I don't particularly like it. Alternatively if you know of any good graphic help books that would be awesome.

Any questions shoot them my way and I'll endeavour to answer as soon as possible.

Happy New Year All! Hope your festive season has been restive.

I am going to keep forms open for another week until Sunday the 8th - I am also going to make a tagging/publicity push to get a few more applications!

In terms of what I'm looking for: we need more applications in general. Side characters (especially the adult Lords and Ladies of the houses) never go amiss, as they will feature heavily in the first part.

If you're looking to apply for the main cast, we definitely don't need more Iltensk applications so I might close those slots. We haven't had any Valendor applications but honestly thats ok because they're slightly different in that they are virtually extinct from the political arena.

So I'd prioritise Marsan applications (dark skinned/ black huns pls - let's celebrate their beauty!), and then equally Chiyen and Ba'althos. And Valendor if you are interested in a guard or side character they meet on their journey. Stalderheim will have the most characters featured so feel free to apply for characters here as well. We do need a few more guard applications (or could be any other role in the castle) for Stalderheim as well because there needs to be a magic person from here and spoiler (!) it's not Paetris lol.

So I know that's not super specific but it should give you lots of options!

This fic needs lots of goodies and baddies. So although we could have one person from each kingdom in the cast, it's more fun if they are split between allegiances / e.g. one sibling turns against another politically etc!

Lastly, have a browse of the current applications and challenge yourself to create someone different so we can have a nice diverse cast in vibe as well as appearance.

Best, Oisín.

Hello all - just want to say thank you so much for all your enthusiasm so far. However, we will need lots more applications for this to work, so please share this/get tagging so we can boost it!

Also, for those who offered to make me covers - I haven't forgotten! I've just been very busy but will take someone up on it soon.

All the best, Oisín.
