Joining may seem intimdating to some so I've written a little guide to make it easier. The process is actually very simple. Don't worry about harsh, needlessly rude replies to applications; we will point out what is wrong with an application if anything, and generally it's small things that can be fixed in a matter of minutes. Our application process is to keep quality up, but that doesn't mean we're snobbish.

Step One
Read everything. This is the best thing you can do to be ready to apply. The rules, wolf information, etc. should be read in full. Read the rules twice.

Step Two
Done reading? Great! Now go to the forum and register. Pay attention to the fields; most are about your character.

Step Three
Registered? Perfect! Now it's time to apply. Go to the application forum and copy the template. Paste it into a new post and fancy it up with bbcode as much as you'd like. No HTML or blinding colors please. Fill it out, spell check and word count. Submit the application with the name of your character as the title; last name first, first name last. ie; 'Smith, Bob'. This way the families are split up when everything is sorted alphabetically. Make the topic description your characters gender. Don't leave either of these blank or mess it up! Your app won't be accepted until it's right.

Step Four
Wait. It shouldn't take over 24 hrs for an application to be gone over. DO NOT HARASS THE STAFF TO DO THIS! One person goes over applications as it is and she does in fact have a life and can be grouchy sometimes. If you harass her to go over your application she will save it for last. If it's been more than two days *48hrs* exactly then you can harass her.

Step Five
If you got an accepted message; congrats! Your app will be moved to the profiles as soon as the admin is sure you've seen it. You can start RPing even before it's moved; as soon as the accepted stamp is on it it's all over. If you got denied, don't fret. Try again. Edit your application and post a reply letting the admin know it's been edited.

That's it!
I hope this isn't too hard. If it is drop me a line and I'll rework the whole process :) Note that accounts will not be activated until the profile has been accepted.
