The Pitfalls of Elysium — story starting.3/1
Thank you all again for applying! I feel a little bad about choosing so few characters when I liked so many more but it’s my first time writing an applyfic in years and I didn’t want to bite off more than I can chew.
This is a line up that I feel really good about, direction-wise, dynamic-wise, personality-wise. So I’m excited about it!
If anyone has the time, I’d be super grateful for a beta reader who is fluent or semi-fluent in English. I’m trying my best but for example, it took me three times proofreading to realize I wrote desk instead of workbench. I don’t need spelling or grammar checks but I’d be grateful if someone could tell me if I used a vocab incorrectly, I lack descriptiveness or my endings are too abrupt.
Also, I decided on a new chapter layout and we've got profiles now! Regarding the official positions, Dasom has the skills to be another main vocalist but the lead vocal title fits the story that I want to write better so Arthouse decided to snub her. Profiles will be updated as the story progresses, I just didn't want to spoil the plot lol. I plan to add textboxes to the relationship sections in the member profiles at some point but not now since I first want to focus on getting the story rolling.
A discography and a meme/mtl/random facts page will be up at a later date as well.

Thank you for the amazing applications <3 I wanted to tell you guys that I'm super happy with the quality of applications I received, I've gotten a lot of different characters that I truly like. Currently I'm in the selection and planning phase of the story. Since there are two timelines, I need to figure out the major plot points of their time in the group to know how they end up in 2029, so right now I'm brainstorming ideas and possible dynamics. I'm excited to get this started!

Hey guys, it's less than a month 'til the deadline and Elysium's back with a new layout. I also changed the layout of the application, though just as before you can opt to use whatever layout you want to.

Hello! I've come up with a final deadline - Monday, 23rd of October 2023. I hope I'll get some more applicants until then (maybe also someone who is a possible contender for the main vocalist spot?). I'm busy for the next two weeks but I'll check my PMs and comments daily to get back at questions and feedback. It is tricky to come up with another teaser since I'd rather wait for the full line up before writing about group dynamics. Of course I could write more about the company or Somang's life but I don't really feel like it would fit the story at this early point, it would be just for the sake of making an update. So there might not be any more teasers, nonetheless, I'm still here and engaged. Have a good weekend!
