━ So this page will teach you how to create the best from, which is more likely for you to be chosen.
Now the first thing that really catches the writer's eye is a good detailed personality and background.
Authors have different ways of formatting the way they want the personality to be written. This is either paragraph format or in bullet points. (I used to want the personalities in paragraph, but now I changed it to bullet points.)
Now something that some appliers especially the newer ones do is that their form is really small. THAT IS NOT OK. If you personally do this, glad you're here~
If it's in paragraph form then they make it only 4 to 6 sentences with just ONE paragraph. No..nononono.
How to fix this: Instead of one paragraph, you should at least make three paragraphs with at least 6-7 sentences. WITH DETAIL, put the "why" reason. (Why she's like that, things like that.)
If there are slots, include the personality in the description plus extra. Do not just copy the slot. Mix it around with other details. DO NOT MAKE THE PERSONALITY A LITERAL SLOT COPY. It bothers me, it really does.
SECOND...
(This is kinda towards the way I want my forms.) Bullet points.
Writers usually put how many bullet points they want which is ok.
Mine is usually in the 10-15 range.
That doesn't mean you write your personalities like this.
- Smart
- Cute
- Puffs her cheeks out like a fish
- Rude
- Cold
- A total squishNO!
First if all, if you read it, it doesn't make any sense. How are you a total squish but cold?
This is why you must give reasoning.
Mix in words, phrases, and sentences together.
Ex:
- Smart and very calculative towards anything put to her. Homework, chores, her job, literally anything.
- She acts cute in front of people she's comfortable with. She doesn't do any form of cute gestures on strangers. So, don't force her.
- Adventurous
- Rude towards people who disrespect her
- Confident towards her looks
- PositiveSee, look at how much better it is. You can actually understand it. Also notice how only a few bullet points contain one word. As Yixing said, BALANCE.
Lastly, the background. Based on the plot, depends on how dramatic you can be.
For instance if it's crime related applyfic, it's better to base the plot on your knowledge like is she good at shooting, her years in a "CIA" course or something like that.
It's really important to keep the plot in mind while writing your background. If it's about a cafe, you write her prior experience in coffee making, etc...somewhat like that.
Also, do not make this short either. The more detail it has the better. NO ONE PARAGRAPH.
Summary of this whole thing: ADD DETAIL (unless stated otherwise by the author)
