I didn't mean to make you feel cornered or anything, anon! Like I said previously, I only recently started following wankgate and rpanons simply because there are concerns that may never be raised to us. It's the nature of any RP community and the only way we can improve is by hearing everyone's voices. I don't believe you were trying to stir things up, but I did feel that this warranted some sort of response so no one was confused with how we do things.
We can add in a note that there will be a two month wait period! It was something we decided with our first app, so in the rush of things it hasn't been added in. If anyone else has concerns with the rejection time they should also feel free to say so, that way we can work something out! We've also tried being clear and concise in any pends, so I don't think you need to be worried over a rejection!
If it helps, we will always use wikia pages primarily for history. Sometimes it may supplement our knowledge, but normally if we're not sure about something and don't feel we know enough we call in "experts". Meaning we ask friends who are fans to give us their opinion if it's something we feel has a mistake but we're not completely certain. We'll never judge your personality based on one wikia page, and I can't speak for the others, but I always try and look up a bit of the character that's outside of the wikia page.
You can do either! If you feel concerned about your application, I will be more than happy to look over it and give you any feedback you'd like. We do not, however, generally outright deny applications unless we feel it would take longer than the processing time of one week to fix, so you shouldn't be worried!
Right now we've just been using a blanket two months so other people may have a chance if they wish to. So far we've had four declines out the 65+ apps we've so far gone over. Of that amount of applications 23 have been pended with two of the four declines being among them.Some of our declines were because we did not feel they could be fixed in the processing time of a week. We're also pretty thorough with our pends so people don't have to worry about being pended multiple times, so if we feel that something needs to be pended again that also comes into play in the decision.
How long it takes to fix an app right now varies, but just in general from some of the ones we received that have been declined we mostly look at how they read versus canon, how they're written, and (in the case of the OC) how much world building it will take.
It's also like I said that the declines are blanket ones at this point in time so other people may try for the characters before hand. It's likely to change if we it too long.
