Chapter 11: The idea was really good, and if you one day come back with it again, or at least something along these lines, I would be happy to participate again -as an applicant or just a reader-.
Until a next time and good luck on your other projects.

Chapter 3: hello there! so i just realized (when going back and seeing all my blog posts) that i started to apply for the dwarf position... but ended up losing inspiration when my computer had failed to save my process, but the majority of the work is still there--
if i finish it off... is this story still accepting apps? i'll hate to see it go to waste as this story has a unique flavor to it...

Chapter 3: Hi! Can I reply here? x3
First of all, I didn't know how long it was after the original story, so I'm sorry if somethings I wrote turned complicated. :p
If her crush will be like her seventh cousin, I believe it's more like crushing for someone from the same clan than for someone that's actually from your family. LOL xD So if you want, I have no problems with keeping it. :3 (but wow, LOT of time has passed if not even the dwarves and the elves we got to know are still alive. xD)
Oh yeah. I didn't mean the Witch to be a childhood friend. Just that the two could get friends after meeting each other. And everything I wrote about Yongguk is what I imagine that they relationship will be after he hatched.
About Jieun, that's ok. x3 And about Niel, I think I got a little too far really. xD hahahahaha But it would be interesting xD But that's ok. Change for what it will be better to the plot. :3
And yeah. The height. I always get confused of what's supposed to be normal height fot the different kinds. @-@ So that's ok if you shrunk her. xD haha
Thank you for being patient and so detailed.
Do you need me to really change something on the app, or that's ok?

Hi!!! I'm really sorry for taking so so so sooooooooooooo long to finish this app. I really got stuck in how to develop her personality and background. And then university was a b*tch. ;-;
I hope you can still consider it.
