((The kind of “interactivity” that is banned on FF.net would probably be if you allowed the students to decide what they want to do, or to vote about how the story should be continued. But I have seen OFUs where the author asked the readers to apply by e-mail, not via comments, because other OFUs had been taken down when applications via comments occurred.))
((Since your phone obviously allows you to read the Board, here it goes. For the sake of readers who look at the comments, I will also post it on FF.net – in the near future. I hope you have copies of the first chapters in case they take you down for one application too much.))

Have you ever written a fanfiction for World of Warcraft? Yes / No, I’m just dreaming about it.
Have you ever written a canon/canon Warcraft pairing? Yes / No
Have you ever written a canon/OC Warcraft pairing? Yes / No, I would never dare to molest canon characters. Fallen-into-the-game OC/PC is much more interesting anyways.
Have you ever written a Mary Sue or Marty Stu? Yes / No / Not Sure, but I was young when I tried to write original fiction.
Favorite 'good' character(s) (Alliance, Horde, Knights of the Ebon Blade, etc.): Deneide Whatshername – ahh, Whisperwind, I think?
Favorite 'evil' character(s) (Scourge, Burning Legion, etc.): Sorry, I didn’t ever meet any of these guys.
Favorite 'neutral' character(s) (Red/Green/Blue/Bronze Dragonflights, taunka, etc.): This green dragon who dreams the emerald dream, can’t remember her name.
Lust Object(s): Androiaavata, my wonderful night elf druid. No, creating her had nothing to do with 'commanding a pretty slave around'! What would be the sense in playing the game if I didn’t care for the character whose life depends on my decisions? The males are all so ugly!
Ahem. You don’t really expect me to read all this, right?
By signing this application, I hereby forfeit any right I may otherwise have to my own personal health and safety under the instruction of the staff at the Official Fanfiction University of Azeroth (OFUA), whom I recognize as possessing varying levels of sanity and concern for my well-being. I recognize that while the organizers and a few instructors are generally willing to keep their torture victims as physically well as they can manage, they are by no means obligated to do anything more than resurrect me if I should die, and I will not be able to sue anyone at the Official Fanfiction University of Azeroth for any harm done to me while I am in attendance at the university. Since I am likely a) a horny little fanbrat, or b) a hot-headed, god-moding jerk with an ego the size of a Dragon Aspect, and have not actually read this all the way through, my signature also entitles any instructor at the university to feed me to the minis if, at any time during my studies, I become too annoying to put up with for the remainder of the year.
