I suppose I should have asked this BEFORE I sent the e-mail, but what's the policy on works in progress? Not, say, something that's still in the editing phase, but something that's the first couple chapters of a story that is still underway?

I was curious about this as well, because I've only published one story so far, though I have a few in progress, so i planned to send excerpts of them and then another new project just for this

So, just to clarify, can we only submit one example of our work, or could I send in both of the best examples I can think of if I want?

    I will accept works in progress or multiple examples of work from first-round applicants, yes. The important thing is that it's enough for me to gauge your abilities as writers, and this can be done using as much or as little as you choose to give me, within reason. For instance, one sentence is probably not enough to fulfill this goal, unless you're very bad at this.

To those who are wondering how much content to give Bloomberg, ask yourself this: "How long do I need it to be in order to convey my prowess of the English language?"As he's said many times, he doesn't care how much you give him. He's just looking for something to gauge your abilities with, so you need to be asking yourself that question, not him.

Hopefully Bloomberg doesn't mind my supererogatory interjection.

I have one question... How much time do we have for this?

Submissions will be accepted until Saturday, July 28, at which time I will close the auditions, and I will announce the finalists soon afterward. If you are chosen, you will be expected to write a story with more specific criteria, which I will give you at the appropriate time.

I look forward to having my inbox flooded with applicants, and I wish you all the best of luck. I encourage everyone to have fun, try their hardest, and remember to proofread their entries.
Will write lighthearted, random comedy stories for fun.

I believe with my life experience and many RPs across the board I have a good chance of making the cut. Expect an interesting short story!

What kind of dedication would be needed if we got in(how many stories, how often, etc.)?

    Well, that's a bit hard to say. If a team member doesn't have much time to put in, I can be fairly accommodating, but I do require my team members to work in order to keep their positions, and I have let people go in the past for not doing their share of the work. I can't give you an exact figure that I would hold anyone to, as certain pieces of writing take much longer to finish than others, and quality always comes first.

I suppose you could say that I have been in a comatose state waiting for applicants to open up again.  :)

Best of luck to everyone.

I noticed that the minimum age for all applicants was not stated, so may I ask what it is?

    Well... you see, I kind of don't exactly... have one. I see this as being purely a matter of skill, and although a very young applicant is somewhat less likely to have the set of skills I'm looking for, I know there are many exceptions to that, and I don't want to put down a hard number for that reason.

Um...You should say that in the introduction thread except the application part.
