New app layout options! 30/04/24

Thank you to everyone who gave me feedback <3 though I don’t think the layout is the primary reason holding people back from applying, so people have more options I now have a plain text version of the app, inspired by nocchi doing that for roomy.
This should make it easier to put the info into whatever layout you want to use, I still don’t know if I formatted it the best way, but if there are words you want to be uppercase or lowercase you can always use a text converter easily found on the web.

Along with that, I did find two other layouts I like (yes two oops), so now there is three layouts to choose from + the option to use whatever layout you like.
I hope people aren’t overwhelmed by the choices and just go with whatever feels best for them.

I will note the order of the info is not the same in every single layout, as it looked too awkward when I tried that.

All additional layout options and the plain text are in the same place as the turn-in/original layout. Here.

NEW UPDATE! feedback needed. 11/4/24

Hi everyone, it’s not long till the tentative deadline (the 30th) and the story currently only has 2 apps. In no way is this update meant to guilt anyone into applying but I want some feedback so I know how to move forward.
Reel girls got a lot of interest at first, more than I had expected honestly but then very few people applied.

As much as I like how the app layout looks, I acknowledge it’s a bit clunky and awkward to edit and I am concerned that could be putting some people off from applying, even though I’ve expressed being fine with people using a different layout I acknowledge due to the amount of info I’m asking for it’s probably a bit more work to transfer over to a different app layout compared to some other applyfics.

That leads me to my second question, I’ve asked for quite a lot of info in the app because I really want to be able to understand the character, but I’m a bit concerned I overdid it to the point of being potentially intimidating.

I would love to hear your guy's thoughts, so I know if it’s worth the effort of simplifying the app layout or potentially choosing an existing one to have as an alternative option. Also if I should remove some of the information I’m requesting in the app.

But I don't want to go through the process of doing this only to realise it made no difference, hope you can understand Please be nice, but still honest. ^^ would really appreciate the feedback <3

Open for apps!! 16/11/23

Yes, the day is finally here! After slowly rolling out chapters, I'm super happy to say Reel Girls is finally open for apps! All the links are now in the cheatsheet :) Tho in all honesty I keep on noticing things I want to change or fix, but I feel like I've been working on this for like forever and unless I just bite the bullet and accept it's never gonna be perfect I fear I'll never open up for apps lmao.

I have also decided due to how SNS focused Reel Girls will be, I would love if you could make a mock IG layout as well.

Update 2! 27/12/23

Hello everyone, happy holidays! I am working on some teasers, but since I promised myself I wouldn't abandon pd angel I'm having to balance working on them both, and my perfectionism means it takes me a bit to get things out.

Reel Girls is still my main passion project <3 and I want to put a lot into making it into reality. I'll start thinking about when I want the deadline to be.

Tentative deadline set! 15/03/24

So after some thinking, I’ve decided to make the tentative deadline, the 30th of April. It is tentative since having a cast I’m happy with is the priority. For story reasons I will need one character for each plotline, but that could include a character being shifted to their backup plotline ~

This is why I’m a bit nervous about setting a deadline, as some app creators I love don’t seem to be active right now, but I also think I need to start moving things forward with the story. I do have some teasers I’m working on, but I’m also currently working on the first chapter/episode of PD Angel so I’m having to balance them both. .

Chapter 7: hi! I just wanted to say that your fic is insanely amazing, i was drawn to it almost instantly and i've been working on my app! fortunately for me it isn't because anything is complicated or too hard to edit in the app, it's because i'm busy with school and i want to give my app 100% attention, and i havent been able to, so that's my issue entirely, which I appologize for because if i jsut took a day to sit down i know i'd be able to finish it ASAP, T-T sorry about that a ton. I speak for my self but i'm sure there are a lot of people who haven't lost interest, just busy. life doesn't slow down for anybody unfortuantely ):

Chapter 7: Hi, it's me again! I'm so sorry I haven't been commenting on the story lately, but I've been keeping myself updated with the story and I really appreciate the tremendous effort you've put in it thus far.

Applying for Reel Girls has always been something that I want to get to eventually, but I haven't been able to find an idea that sticks for a substantial period of time and I'm fully convinced by. Also, I have been very busy with school work since the start of this year, and it's draining enough to the point where I really don't have the energy or motivation to make characters. Of course, I understand that this is a "me" problem and I don't really feel like doing something that requires me to think very much if I can help it. Please be rest assured that I still have interest in submitting a character for this story, but I want to preempt you that I can't guarantee that I'm able to do so. If I do actually get to writing an app, the earliest that I can really commit to doing so is sometime in May (as it's nearing finals for me at the moment).

That being said, I haven't tried editing or putting any information to the app you've provided, so I can't really comment much on how easy or difficult it is to edit it. I will say, though, that it looks rather wonky on mobile.

As for the information you need from apps, it's admittedly more information required as compared to some stories I've applied for, but it's not the most demanding app I've done thus far. So please don't worry too much about it, I completely understand why you need those information, especially when the story is dealing with some very problematic aspects of the K-pop industry.

I don't think there's any problems with app or the information you need. It's just that as this story deals with some very dark topics that can be triggering for people, so it may not be for everyone. As for appliers, I think it simply just boils down to busy or tiring schedules in real life that affects our ability to make characters (like myself), which is out of anyone's control. If it helps, I often like to leave the editing of the layout to the end, after I have finished writing out all parts of the app.

All in all, I really want to applaud you for having published this story in the first place. I wish you all the best, and I hope that you'll get characters that you enjoy reading and can envision them being an integral part of this story <3

Chapter 7: hi! i must admit that i was one of the ppl intimidated/put off by the amount of info you were requesting ;; so i would definitely appreciate it if you nixed some info. as for the app layout, i'm honestly fine with it. maybe it's because i haven't delved too deep in? either way, that's not the main thing keeping me from working on my app HAHAHA

i trust you to make the best decision! i know not requesting as much info comes at a cost of not being able to write as detailed characters, and it would take some work switching app layouts as well.
