Write a personal ad for your character. Preferably under a mun lj, so it might not be immediately obvious who it is.

In other news: Happy October! *dork*

ETA of vaguely useful mod information: I know there has been some confusion about procedures for deleting, retiring, reservation or adoption notification.

Deleting a pup:

Step 1: Remove the pup from any and all Milliways-affiliated comms.
Step 2: Send an email to milliways.apps@gmail saying during the open app cycle a) who you are deleting, and b) your name and/or mun lj.

Retiring a pup:

See Deleting a pup.

Reserving a pup:

Step 1: Email your request for reserving a pup to milliways.mods@gmail at any time whatsoever with a) the requested pup's full name and canon, b) why you want him/her/it reserved, and c) any special conditions (only needs to be reserved for a short period of time, not-really-reserved-but-talk-to-existing-muns-first!reserved, etc). These requests will be processed before any apps in the app cycle.

We will email you if your reservation request is accepted. If we do not, ping us.

Adopting a pup:

Step 1: Email an adoption alert to milliways.mods@gmail at any time whatsoever with a) your contact information, b) the new player's contact information, and c) the name of the pup in question.

It is the previous mun's responsibility to contact the mods to make sure an adopted pup gets transferred properly and no longer counts against your pup limit.

Any questions? Leave 'em here.

ETA as clued in by canadabear: These are in effect as of today. Anything yesterday and back will be dealt with just fine. :)

Legal jailbait with adult attitude seeks male Jocasta figure.

Must be: at peak of physical fitness, environmentally aware, old fashioned romantic, but still able to deal with a partner capable of kicking his butt five times over. Age difference of at least a decade preferable. Immortals will be considered.

No supervillains please. Supervillains will be considered if they look like Liam Nieson.

[muji]

Too bad Eisenheim doesn't work with the Jocasta thing. :O

[innerbrat]

PS. Would it be extra work for you guys for me to email you with a list of which pups I think I have, as I have no idea if you think I'm above limit or not.

[muji]

We'd love that, actually.

[wakeupnew]

... Okay, I don't have the brain for a personal ad, but while Googling personal ads (since I had no idea of what the format for one was), I stumbled across what is possibly the funniest thing ever.

Oh, single straight ladies in Utah...

(These people terrify me.)

[muji]

...Oh my.

(You could randomly start bringing Rhodes in pre-movie! It wouldn't be weird or anything!)

[timjr.livejournal.com]

...man, I cannot seem to think of a way to write any of these for my guys.

[muji]

They're harder than they sound!

[buongiornodaisy.livejournal.com]

Uh I thought the deleting and reserving pups thing was the other way around -- that you could delete a pup at any time and that you could only reserve a character during the next app period. I did get an e-mail from y'all saying as much as far as reserving a character went.

[muji]

We've discovered a couple of problems with that scenario. =T The deleting pups is far less of a concern in a certain way: you can stop playing a character whenever you want, you know what I mean? The problem with the reservations would arise when someone sends in a reservation and we would see it only after an app for that character came and went. Just trying to head that off at the pass.

The other paper-pushing consideration about having the deletions work as outlined above is...we're human? Sometimes it takes us awhile to get to emails that are sent throughout the month, whereas there's a good chance that anything sent between the first and seventh will get dealt with between the first and seventh. Just...trying something new, hoping that it will be beneficial on both ends.

Fun-loving, life-living entrepreneur looking for dream lover.

[sochan.livejournal.com]

You are: Big and strong (like in the Gershwin tune), generous, open-minded and big-hearted. Love of music is a must. If you love (nineteen)eighties music, that's a bonus. Age doesn't matter, as long as you; a) are not jail bait, and b) do not look like it.

Your species doesn't matter, but you are preferably humanoid.

Vores need not apply.

Kiss, kiss, hug, hug.

Re: Fun-loving, life-living entrepreneur looking for dream lover.

[muji]

I gotta ask: What's a Vore?

[viridian.livejournal.com]

I actually emailed the milliways.mods account with my list of pups to double-check on and ones that just now needed deletion, rather than the apps account, because that's what the post yesterday said when I checked it. Should I resend it to the apps account?

[muji]

No, you're good. :D We're working on getting our ducks in a row over on our end. Thank you for emailing us.

[aberration]

Re: Adopting - If I sent an e-mail to the mods concerning one, should I expect a response?

DE. Uh. I feel like I could do this in a funnier way if I wasn't only pretending to be awake. Hmm.

*gives Billy self esteem boosters*

[kitchen_maid]

When you say "remove" that means using the "You may leave this community at any time" link on the info page? Should we do that for previously retired/deleted characters?
