hopefully this will be less weird than the last one

ASK A QUESTION it can be anything CFUD related, OOC, IC, Relationship, psychology, thoughts, whatever. I.E. My character's opinion of your character or maybe what you have been wondering about this behavior or that, or general thoughts on my characters or canons or what, who I might consider topping you into apping, etc.

WHEN I REPLY I will also ask you a question in turn!

In this way we talk at each other, which is fun.

I play Kodachi Kuno, Stacy Rowe, and Ty Lee.

For Kodachi it was just that I really really wanted to get into CFUD as quick as possible so I was like "okay, who do I think I could app and play in this awesome game I stumbled across?" And CFUD had a great Ranma already so I decided to go with one of my old favorites.

Stacy was... well, I always loved Stacy a lot. But basically in September '06, I was playing Kodachi and I was playing Hyde and I really, really wanted a character who was actually nice and inclined to socializing with people. And one morning I realized that Stacy would be perfect as the antithesis of the characters I was playing, and from that moment on I was deadset on playing her in CFUD.

Ty Lee I was considering apping off and on for pretty much the three or four months after I finished Book Two of Avatar. But I wasn't sure on how to play her as a three-dimensional character, so I put it off. Then Zuko apped and I realized I was going to have to app Ty Lee the immediate round after or my window would be gone because someone else would have gotten her. Thankfully, The Beach aired the same week I started working on the app, and that gave me a lot of insight on playing Ty Lee. Basically, Ty Lee was awesome, Avatar as a whole was awesome, and CFUD's Avacast was awesome and I really, really wanted to play with them more often.

What's your apping process like? Like which parts do you try to write first/prioritize, if any, and so on?

My app process is such a special beast.

Step 1: Decide on a character to app, write a few sentences, maybe the punchline. If I'm lucky or dedicated, I'll get the canon section here, though lately that's been the last part I've written.

Step 2: Go "okay, there's no need to write the whole thing right now, I still have [x amount of time] before apps open." and put it away before I burn out on the character.

Step 3: FIVE MONTHS LATER, pull up the gdoc a couple hours before apps open, and bug the hell out of Roxas and Sian if they're around until I have a full app that doesn't suck.

Same question!
