...Hi...
It's been over a month since I first started posting on the Board, and I'd like to request permission (as the subject line hints at). I posted this eariler, but I didn't get a response from any of the Permssion Givers, so here it is again.
Agents - Travis and Jen. Travis used to work for Team Rocket, and Jen was an Officer Jenny cadet. Both fell into HQ on the same day and wound up as partners, much to their annoyence. Jen is very strict about rules (she sometimes forgets she's not in a police force) and is easily angered. Travis is generally very hyper and is a huge kleptomaniac. Jen's very Lawful Good, while Travis is Chaotic Neutral/Evil.
I might come up with some more agents later on.
Writing sample: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5782852/1/ThebSockpenguinb_Adventures. This is a Pokémon fanfic with a mostly OC cast. The chapters that are up were reworked recently.
Fanfic: I'd like to spork My Inner Life. Yes, that My Inner Life (http://linksqueen.tripod.com/mil.html). I know it's a major doozy, but I've got some ideas concerning it.
...What do you think, sirs?
After talking this over with Makari, I'm going to have to say no.
Your writing sample seemed lacking; it wasn't emotionally engaging, and seemed very focused on the logistics of the game, instead of character development. Your character showed potential at first, but I found a lot of her actions towards the Piplup very illogical-- it seemed like you were trying too hard to set up the Pokemon-as-Tools archetypal character, without giving in-story reasoning. With your Agents' descriptions being so vague, it's hard to approve Permission without knowing that your writing style has improved since that sample to the point where you won't fall into the same traps with them.
Don't take this as a final ending-- feel free to work on your agents and writing sample, and re-apply! Plenty of people do, and I'd hate to see you give up entirely just because of this. I would recommend adding an introduction to your Agents with your next application-- it makes things much easier for PGs to see what you're planning to do with them.
(As an aside: please try to avoid re-posting a topic before it's fallen off the first page of the 'Board. Every new topic does push an old one off the edge.)
Is it coming along?
Jakraziel, I think you have the wrong person.
