hover over the green 'WCF Boards' and a drop link will appear. from there you can get almost anywhere on the proboards, as you already know since you have already named your account. Explore until you find the section labeled 'Singles application' .
Explore. When you find the application itself, the rules are self explanitory. Copy, fill out, post in the singles app thread.
As for the roleplays, trashtalking is king. Writing skill plus creativity plus trash talking is the equation for winning. Anything less than 5 paragraphs won't get you a win unless your opponent does not post. Seth determines the winners, he is the one that also determines who gets what matches.
Explore the proboards for a few days, get a feel for what's going on. Editing a roleplay that's already posted is kinda frowned upon, find someone willing to 'sponsor' your posts that you can send to and get advice from before you edit and actually post. Helpful if your completely new to e-fedding.
Stick around a while, and you will feel as most of us do that WCF is home.

Fixing spacing or coding stuff is fine, but adding or changing the story itself is a big no-no. Someone else might be able to confirm this. |

My understanding is the best way to do it is to check the editing time. If there's an edit an hour later, it's probably no big deal and/or fixing a typo or color coding. If there's an edit like 2 days after the fact, then it starts to get suspicious, and I think Seth/TheMods can see what was edited in somehow? Not to mention people who read it will notice if you stick in an extra page of shoot. It is a grey area though, but overall I would try to avoid editing whenever possible. Get it in one, as they say. |

Most of the time I edit my roleplay cause of spacing when posting from my phone. I'd rather not edit but the spacing bugs me if messed up not so much coding.

Yeah, I always have to edit the spacing fuck up that the boards cause it bothers me as well. Always adds at least a double space and sometimes an extra in certain spots. That's all I edit for though and always do so immediately after posting.

I edit for spacing, or if my phone acts stupid and autocorrect messes up...

I once did an entire post using 'autocomplete'. It was hilarious, and oddly kinda made sense towards the match.

As far as my knowledge tou can edit all you want as long as you follow the rp rules. Not after 6 and the sunday rule of it being three hours apart. As long as you follow those rules it doesnt matter. |

Nah dude that's fine. Editing would be a case by case thing. If someone posted a shitty RP on Tuesday then edited it to make it awesome on Sunday that would be one thing, but I've never seen it happen to my recollection. Id only ever question edits if someone actually complained and brought it up.

Because I always find a few errors of that type after posting. |

Because I always find a few errors of that type after posting. Yes, I don't really see why not. THAT SAID if you wait a few days you may run the risk of me reading it with those mistakes and basing opinions based on them. Highly doubt it could be an issue but just saying. |
