Second Permission Request Attempt by OpinionedAngel on 2010-07-04 22:50:00 UTC Reply

Okay, I think I'm ready for another permission request attempt, though I'm not sure if I've been around long enough or interacted enough to be accepted into the ranks of the PPC.

Also, there's the matter of the writing sample, since I don't have too much faith in my writing skills. Should I put a bit up first so you can judge whether or not I deserve a spot, or should I just put everything up together?

You done been here longer 'n I have, and I have two missions by Edward Wilder on 2010-07-06 14:24:00 UTC Reply

And I for one know your name (although this is because you were the first or second person to greet me). I think you're ready, at least. Oh, and it's a writing sample. 'Everything' vs. 'A bit' - which sounds more sample-y?
Just a question... by Eclectus on 2010-07-05 01:20:00 UTC Reply

Are there any premade forms for permission requests? I can't seem to find any... Or are we just 'sposed to wing it?

There was a guy named Sergio or something who requested lately. His format was nice. You might try that one.

The wiki article about Permission explains things, but basically we're looking for two things in the request post: agent bios and writing sample. You can lay those out however you like, and since creativity is highly encouraged around here, the use of a form would just detract from the thing. {= )

I kind of expect there is something in the post for PGs (and others) to look at and decide about whether or not to grant permission.

Been around long enough is quite simple: if it's at least a month, it's long enough.
A little harder is whether you've interacted enough. You should interact enough for PGs to remember your name, preferably in a good way.

Customary is to put up everything in one post: description of agents and writing sample. (or links to both of these). PGs give permission based on the whole thing.

See, I'm not sure whether or not I've interacted enough to be known... But I'll try to get everything up as soon as I can.

I remember you. by Sedri on 2010-07-05 01:11:00 UTC Reply

I know your name, certainly, and I believe I looked at your Permission request last time, didn't I? (Sorry if it seems rude that I can't quite remember, but as you may have noticed, there are a lot of Permisison requests around.)

Anyway, at present, there are only four posts signed with your name on the first page of the Board (two of which are here), none on the second, and two on the third. That's not exactly a great deal of interaction.

Since you haven't actually posted your second request here, why not wait a little while (say a week? More or less at your discretion), work as much as you can on your writing sample, and make a point of interacting as much as you can around here - start a new thread if none of the existing topics hold your interest, and just chat. Then make a new post with all your agent bios, writing samples, et cetera - and don't forget to keep making posts! ;) That should be enough to cover the 'interaction' front quite nicely.

...Maybe I should try that. Problem is, I'm not very good at thinking up conversation starters, so I'll try.
