APPLYFIC TIPS for starter & authors

03 | WRITING PERSONALITY

so, i really really get so frustrated when people doesn't do their form properly and when i said elaborate more they still give me bullet points of personality like 'she's a cute girl'

LIKE WOAH cute has many ways of cute? she can be cute in a charismatic way, she can be cute in a way that makes people go 'aww' idk? there are lots and lots of things that you can write. just don't give me she's a cute girl okay.

what's a form?

okay, so basically you need to fill in a form with all these informations like ;

name
age
birthday
blood type
and etc

these are the really basic things in a form and i bet ya'all can write this correctly.

but then, here comes the thing ;

background
personality

so usually, an applyfic author will have slots you just need to pick the one you like and then based on the slot's basic personality, you add on more personality on your own and write the background based on the slot or the applyfic plotline.

however

there are still mistakes and problems happened when writing a form. and i went through this for a few times when people especially newbies applied for my af no offence to those who are new in the af but apparently these are those mistakes you all made.

MISTAKE ONE ;
BULLET POINTS
PERSONALITY

OKAY, so i really hate and frustrated and annoyed at those bullet points personality. I DID SAID YOU CAN GIVE ME A BULLET POINT BUT ELABORATE MORE UNDER IT.

ELABORATE. E.L.A.B.O.R.A.T.E.

do you even know what's the meaning of elaborate???

i bet ya'all didn't read the rules properly and not even come to ask the author about this personality thingy.

anyway, here's a really good sample of writing personality ; it's my form btw ; and i have a certain writing style in my form

sample of
personality

「 HEH 」
❝ aloha! ❞
— unlike other leaders who are usually serious, yooreum is actually lowkey someone who is really dorky and funny one. well she did her job in taking care of her members but while taking care of the others, she's also the one that goes all crazy and make fun of others, at the same time also making sure that she doesn't cross their limit while having fun. when most of the leaders are doing their leader job, somehow there are times when the members are the one keeping an eye on her because she gets too hyper that she does all these crazy stuffs. their fans sometimes actually think that why they choose her to be the leader when they see her being all hyped up but then, she's still the leader we all adore so-

「 DORM STORY 」
❝ a big no towards cleaning. ❞
— even though yooreum is the leader and is someone who has plans and do work at her best, there is one thing she hates and barely do ; which is doing house chores a.k.a cleaning. just like other people as a kid, her mum would always nag her to change her bed sheets or clean her table but she's just 'yeah okay i will' but still sleep on the same bed sheets for weeks. it's dirty yes, but she's just lack the mood of cleaning or changing. she is also someone who likes to randomly put her stuffs in pile on her table, making her table getting messy like hell. this still doesn't change even when she has a roommate by now ; her roommate is really pissed off at her situation and would always nag at her just like her mum

end.

okay so if you're writing like this ^ then 4 or 5 points will be consider aju nice. LIKE REALLY NICE in my point of view :)

and some newbies did this

「 PERSONALITY 」

ー She's a dirty minded person.
-Smut is her best friend
-A Quite person
-She can be very loud and very quiet
-She very friendly
-She play with her tongue when she get bored
-She always smile

^ I ACTUALLY GET THIS KIND OF PERSONALITY IN A FORM AND IM JUST-

IT'S A BIG NO
WRITING PERSONALITY

i really hope you guys read through this and NEVER make this mistake. it annoyed all applyfic authors.
