- ☾ ONE . be kind. i'd like to think it goes without saying, but please be respectful to everyone and don't be rude to me or the other applicants. if i see anything i view as deliberately / unnecessarily rude you will be removed from the story. this doesn't mean you can't joke around with each other though, i want this to be an interactive book so please interact in the comments together! ++ don't be afraid to talk to me about anything & im always happy to become friends!

- ☾ TWO . password. the password is to shout this af out on your message board, tag 5+ people you think would be interested in applying & tell me what you think your oc's most played song of 2023 would be! also please follow me if you get accepted so you can get updates.

- ☾ THREE . forms. please make your forms neat and organised, it makes it so much easier to read. i accept commented forms and google docs! feel free to add your own graphics or just leave the form how it is (i'm not biased towards the forms with more graphics in, it's the effort when it comes to writing which matters to me), just make sure it's readable and that you're answering all the questions to the given criteria!

- ☾ FOUR . creativity + slots. please closely follow your slot and give your characters flaws and depth (i'm not saying make them a horrible person, just make them feel real) - there's nothing i hate more than a mary sue. again, stay along the lines of the slot but feel free to add more to your character! in regards to selecting which oc's, i'm not going to be using a reservation system so feel free to apply to whichever slot you want & i'll either close the slot if i've found an oc i 100% want to use or i'll wait until a deadline. if your oc isn't chosen, i'll still try add them into the story if you want to continue reading, for example i could make them a popular fan site for one of the girls that's always in the comments!

- ☾ FIVE . active. please please please only apply if you know you'll be active and able to comment a lot on chapters. comments and feedback is what motivates me so the more you comment, the more i'll write + the more your oc will be mentioned. feel free to literally spam the comments, trust me when i say i love nothing more than reading comments, even if it's just a bunch of spam! (also, i'm kinda biased towards those that comment a lot when it comes to picking oc's so keep that in mind)

- ☾ SIX . love interest. love interests aren't required but if you do want one for your oc please make the age gap reasonable & legal. all sexualities are ofc allowed and i'm comfortable with writing poly relationships if that's what you want for your oc. if you want your oc's love interest to be another one of the slot's then just write that down & i'll ask the other admin if they agree with it! my oc is also available to be someone love interest, i'm still going to fill in the love interest part of her form but i'll change it if anyone wants her as their li!

- ☾ SEVEN . face claims. idol face claims only! the age range for face claims is 1998-2006. no ethnicity blending, but feel free to make you oc any ethnicity you want, unless it's specified for their slot & it matches with their face claim! also the face claim help is just there for inspiration and for you to understand the vibe of the slot, you don't have to use them.

- ☾ EIGHT . fun. this is going to sound cringey, but have fun! the point of this apply fic is purely for entertainment so none of it should be taken too seriously.

- ☾ NINE . disclaimer. all idols mentioned in this book do not portray their real personalities and lives
