guidelines/rules, it's pretty long but pls do read through it. if youre confused about smth, ask!

 ㅤ🎧 ⏜ ♪  GAMEPLAY ... the basics !!
ㅤㅤ Make sure you add this book to a reading list or/and your library so you'll be notified when i update. And, I mean hey, maybe also follow me bc you'll get updates abt the show that might not be posted as a chapter so i mean you wouldn't lose anything 🤷🤷 Anyways, I hope we're able to become friends through this applyfic :D

┊ While discord isn't mandatory, I would prefer it if you had an account as that is the easiest way of communication, and I'm also planning to make a simple discord server when it gets started which will let you communicate with other admins easier too!

┊  And please (!!!!) make sure to Notify Me if you're changing your username or account (and update your form/s pls), or if you're going on hiatus. If I end up not being able to get a hold of an admin I will either have the trainee leave the show, or put them up for adoption.

┊  Forms will be handed in on google docs through the comments. You can give the form a "makeover" (aka change up the aesthetics/layout) and add your own touch to it, as long as it has the same information in the same sections as the original form, is easy to get to, and as long as i can still read the text it's fine! Before handing it in, make sure you've followed the rules and the instructions in the form, and that you've actually completed it! The first password is to tag 3+ peeps in the intro chapter, and to post it to your message board+tagging me! :D

 ㅤ🎮  ⏜ CONTROLS ... activity !!
ㅤㅤㅤ Please be active!! Comment, vote, give me feedback, tell me your ideas and thoughts, write theories, anything! Just interact with me and the story I'm putting out! Spam with whatevers on your mind while you're reading, like oh that one sentence reminded me of this, like literally anything that shows me you're reading. You don't have to be online 24/7, you don't have to instantly read the updates, but at least actually read them and interact with them! It'll make me really happy and it lets me know people are still interested and it gives me motivation to keep writing! <3

┊  At the same time, your activity is pretty much a must. Your activity is going to affect multiple things within the show, like early rankings, bonus points, and screentime for example! The activity of you guys is also one of the biggest thing that motivates me to keep writing, so PLEASE interact and let me know you're here and reading what I'm putting time into!

┊  However, I do absolutely understand that everyone have lives outside of wattpad and have other things going on both online and irl, so I don't expect you  to drop everything for this applyfic. After all, you guys are human! But, if you decide to apply, please remember that this is an interactive applyfic. Your comments will effect what happens in the show, and your votes are literally how we'll get a final line-up and eliminations! Altough you don't have to be online every minute and every hour of every day, it's still necessary for you to check in with the applyfic, to read the chapters, and to interact!

 ┊  Please also note that, just like you, I'm human, and I might not always be super duper fast  with updates. I'm going to try my best to keep some sort of regular update schedule and I'll write as much as I can. But, just like you, I have other things going on in my life so I might not be able to dedicate all my time to this.

ᓚ ₍ ^. .^₎

 ㅤ📼  ⏜ KEY BINDS ... screentime !!
ㅤㅤㅤ Yeah, okay, Mnet is the publisher of this show but the influence from Queen Of Hearts is at least gonna try to make it fair! As mentioned before, your activity will affect the screentime of your trainee/s. Since there will be over 20 trainees it will be difficult to actually write equally about all of them. So, to try and make it more fair, the activeness of you admins will determine how much screentime a trainee will get, and, depending on, also how they'll be judged in missions!

┊  Again, I don't expect or want you guys to drop everything for this applyfic. So you don't have to comment on every little line: comments here and there throughout the updates is enough for me, and really means a lot to me, and also lets me know that you guys are interested in what I'm writing! Someone who rarely checks in, is a ghost reader, only shows up when their trainee is mentioned, or doesn't participate in the missions is just not going to receive the same amount of screentime and attention as the trainee of someone who does the opposite. I hope this system feels fair to you guys too! :D

┊  I will start out giving about the same screentime for all trainees, for the introductions for example, but then eventually I'll start to shift in how many scenes each trainee gets. Of course I won't completely ignore the trainees of less active admins, they'll still get lines and they'll still be present in the show, but I will focus more on the trainees of active admins. Beacuse, at the end of the day, it's fun to see your trainee in chapters and that's the biggest reward I can really give you!

≽₍^- ⩊ -^₎≼

 ㅤ💻  ⏜ DISPLAY ... keep it friendly !!
ㅤㅤㅤ This goes without saying i think, but behave!! Be nice, be respectful, don't be mean, and don't be like, idk, homophobic or something. Just like.. be nice. act like a normal human being. please and thank you! Let's keep it friendly! Don't throw fits or get upset with me/other admins regarding anything that happens in this applyfic, such as the rank of your trainee or if your trainee ends up being shown in a "bad light" through evil editing.

┊  This survival show is made for you guys to have some fun in your spare time, to maybe escape reality, and maybe to make some friends, so let's keep it that way! If there is a user who makes you uncomfortable, or if you have any prior history with them, or something like that, please let me know in private so we can figure out a solution! (ex, i'll make sure your trainees won't be on the same team). The final password is your favourite form of horror content (personally, it's creepypasta or found footage) and/or (if youre not that invested in horror stuff) your current favourite song from your fcs group.

┊ As I breifly mentioned above, some trainees may end up being evil edited. It's merely a way to spice up the show and create some drama, and if anything it'll give them more attention! So please don't be super upset with it. And remember: the admin is not a reflection of the trainee on the show, and vice versa. So if a trainee does something rude, it doesn't mean that the admin is rude– and if an admin does something rude, it doesn't mean i'll portray the trainee as rude (the admin will probably be removed though...). In the same vibe, if you get an idea for something dramatic your trainee can do, just send me a message! Listen I'd love to write some drama, especially if I know the admin supports it!

ㅤ🕹️  ⏜ GRAPHICS... trainees !!
ㅤㅤㅤ Please remain realistic with your character. Make your oc human, be creative, be original, and make them fun! don't make your oc into someone who's never done anything wrong ever, do research into what you're writing. Don't make your character bland, boring or poorly written, because i will probably end up not being enthusiastic while writing them and that might not be so fun on your part. I don't mean to sound rude, but i know myself and that's how it's just going to be, honestly depending on i might not even accept ocs that make me feel iffy like that

┊  Don't make a copy of an irl idol, a fictional character, or of someone elses oc. You can get of course inspired by the faceclaim; for example, an oc with a kazuha fc might've done ballet before, or an oc with a heeseung fc might have perfect pitch,  but don't just straight up make a copy of an idol. Be original!

┊  Along with the previous note, don't make a trainee that's straight up just unrealistic, aka no mary or gary sues please and thank you! Do not make a trainee who speaks like 37 languages, has had every single imaginable trauma happen to them, has 100/100 on every stat, no 17 year old who became a trainee at age 9, or something else that's like "ouu im so special :3". Be realistic and let your ocs be human, we're all different and in-perfect, with all types of stories and quirks. Let that show in your trainees, pretty please!

┊  I want to be able to understand the oc so I feel like I'm portraying them correctly, so please actually put some effort into them! Make me like them, make me feel their story, make sure I can at least try to portray them correctly! So, pretty please, fill out everything properly, and give them some life!

┊ ALSO, i don't really know how to properly word this, but do note that, same as with bland ocs, if i get in my head about it i'll probably feel not as enthusiastic about writing cishet ocs. I'm not saying this to be rude or whatnot, i don't hate cishet people like listen i obviously know tons of them, but i know myself and i just dont end up vibing with the cishet ocs </3 

/ᐠ ˵- ⩊ -˵マ

ㅤ🎮 ⏜ AUDIO ... ages and so on !!
ㅤㅤㅤ Your trainee has to be born between the years 1997 and 2008, aged 27 to 16. Ask me privately if you'd want to make an oc outside of this range, but I'm generally against characters under the age of 18; but we're staying a little bit realistic to kpop and i will accept trainees who are younger. 

┊  And please don't make your oc born in like the last days of 2008 because you want them to be the youngest and the baby of the show, stuff like that will happen as things go on and you can't force your oc into being the youngest. I swear i will make a younger oc out of pure spite lol.

┊  Let's also have some diversity in the amount of training these stars have! I get and completely understand that your ocs backstory impacts their training so you can't really dictate it if you already have someone you plan to use, but don't just make your trainee have like 10 years of training just cus'. Give them a life outside of being a trainee! Let's have someone who became a trainee like 2 years ago, and someone who's maybe been a trainee for like 5 years, and maybe someone who's had just a few months. There will also be a required amount of independent trainees, so if you have an idea please write one! Like maybe this is actually their first proper venture into the kpop scene, or maybe they've had a long break since their latest time under a company, or something like that!

┊  Please, please, please  don't make a bunch of unrealistic connections with real life idols without asking me first, (so no jungkooks cousin, taeyeons daughter, wonyoungs best friend, hyunjins twin). If you have an idea and want to write it, please just discuss it with me first and see what i think about your idea. You can, of course, use irl idols as role models or "omfg i met The King lee taemin once", or smth like that.

ฅ ^ >ヮ<^₎

ㅤ📼 ⏜ INTERFACE ... faceclaims !!
ㅤㅤㅤ When it comes to faceclaims, there are just a few rules you need to follow, so don't worry it's not gonna be long! The age range for the face claims is 1995 to 2008, and preferably someone from 4th to 5th gen. Depending on you can use 3rd gen idols, i might ask you to change them if I feel weird abt it (for example, I don't want fcs from groups like got7, blackpink, bts, twice, mamamoo or exo). "Less popular" 3rd gen idols (not rly less popular, idk i just dont feel weird abt the use of these) and 3.5 gen idols are more likely to be accepted: like gfriend, wjsn, astro, clc, i.o.i, monsta x, or dreamcatcher. Possibly even red velvet or seventeen! :D

┊  For your faceclaims, you can also use trainees who were on survival shows (ex, guinn myah), if you ask me while making your reservations. Idols from other genres (like cpop, jpop or tpop idols), or actors can be okay, if you ask me first while making your reservations. as long as they have enough graphics (good quality imgs, gifs or videos to make gifs from) to work with it should be fine!!! This, btw, goes for all faceclaims. If you're using a nugu faceclaim please include a more popular backup just incase, because if i end up not being able to find graphics of your fc i will probably end up asking you to change it. So, for example, if you use someone who just debuted or someone super nugu they're not gonna have a lot of graphics, just keep that in mind!

┊  The max age gap between oc and fc is 3 years (older/younger), so no 00-liner han yujin and no 05-liner seo soojin. Ask me if you'd like to make the age gap longer, and depending on your reasoning i might agree :D

┊  Partial ethnicity bending is okay, as long as half of the faceclaims ethnicity is kept in the oc it's fine! While I don't particularily hate ethnobending it can make me, and surely others, feel a bit iffy.
