The guide to the clueless ones
The guide to applyfic worldWhat is an applyfic?
To put it simply, here's what you do to 'apply' :
#1 : Go to AFF 'Tags' section. (In this section, two icons next to the logo).
#2 : Type out applyfics.
#3 : There! You successfully came to the page. Search for a fanfic.
(no pic because anonymity is important, and as you learn later on, applyfic users can be quite... something).
#4 : You're surprised because there's the plot/excerpt/summary/description/quote (or not, but if there is none, don't skip! the description is usually at the next chapter of the said applyfic), but the characters aren't there! In applyfics, if an author makes an applyfic fic, they have a plot like those in normal fanfics, but the characters aren't established. You make a character that is suitable to the plot, and other people too, and an author has the privilege to choose if your character is suitable to the story or not.
Bonus :
The most common structure is like this (not following orders) :
1. Plotlines (optional depending on the author)
2. Cheatsheet (must have, usually listed under different names)
3. Reviews (somewhat a must, but usually varied to a degree)
4. Chapters themselves + teasers
And today's lesson ends here, folks! Stay tune for the next chapter, (Quality Content #1 : Plotlines)
