Others post on the threads I linked and announce something to the effect "I want to RP and this is what I want to do". I'm willing to explain more things, but need to go get dinner.

That about sums up the "Wprlds you want to glowfic" thread.
"Sandboxing Prompts" is a little hard to look into, due to a bunch of 'lets put this character into this' ideas.
Eating is very important.

Sandboxing prompts evolved into something similar to "worlds you want to glowfic" but more generic and not restrained to fandoms.

I can answer specific questions but Timepoof should have this covered.

Also do you have characters to play?

I usually make characters when relevant. I have a few ones kicking around i have more built onto aswell. Kind of hard to pick/create when i havent a direction though. Talking with Timepoof is working well, i'll poke you later if needed.

I do not yet have PM capabilities (too few posts, presumably) but will contact people when I am able and try to actually participate in some threads till then! :)

I made 2 posts before this thread, so, make sure you verify your email and then post a cheap confirmation message in here?

I ask because Glowfic authors often use the same characters (or same templates) in different stories. So a major point of... "selling" yourself as an author is often the characters you bring to the table.

Maybe you should post some more! how about telling us about your amazing avatar?

His avatar smells like Order of the Stick to me.

Well I'm getting that, yeah. Nothing said that i can't make a good Template. I'm having issues trying to find a good example of one for a "what is expected to be on this" that isn't the character portion or just a name on a page. Can you point me in the right direction there?

I know! Someone should try creating OotS-style Glowfic character avatars at some point.

Not entirely sure what is your problem? What do you mean with "what is expected to be on this"? Like, the basic introduction to your character or something? Like I said, most of the time there is less formality and a lot of one-on-one author conversation discussing what they want to do. The creation sub-section also contains threads about character or world creation.
