Welcome to the cohost applications for our room! This is pretty straight-forward, if you wish to join our ranks in the best room in the world, simply fill out the form below and post it.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to PM me, or read the cohost FAQs below. ♥
( stolen from my room last year, where it was stolen from both Chibi and Robayn. shh... )
What is a co-host? A co-host is someone who staffs a room during the ball. There are generally three to five co-hosts in each room, although a room may have more or fewer, depending on the situation in each particular room. A co-host will have an official character, and direct the flow of the roleplay along with the room host and secondary host during the ball. Co-hosts will be expected to help in the planning of the room, though they will not have as much responsibility as the room host and secondary host. They may or may not be asked to run a game or contest during the ball.
How can I apply? Each room has a subforum. They are the ones with host names and themes written on them. If you look in each room, there will be an application form. These are relatively short, easy forms. After each room thinks they have enough applicants and have given everyone ample time to apply, the room hosts and secondary hosts will work together to choose who they want to work with them in their room.
Is it alright to apply in more than one room? Most people usually apply in two rooms, just in case they don't get accepted as a co-host in their first choice for a room. Having more than three applications out will be a nuisance to the rooms, so please don't put more than that in. You could also apply in just one room if you don't think you have enough competition to warrant putting in another application. Room hosts tend to choose people who are active and friendly first. Don't feel bad if you don't get chosen in one room you wanted. There are usually more great and wonderful applicants for a room than there are positions available. Since each room will choose their co-hosts at different times, make sure you let the other rooms where you applied know right away if you are accepting a co-host position in another room.
Can I be a co-host in more than one room? The answer to this is no. You may only be a co-host in one room. The News Room has different rules, and you can find out more about the News Room by posting in the chatting thread in the News Room subforum. Remember, being a co-host in one room will not exclude you from helping out in the News Room.
What else do I need to know? Each room is different, and each co-host experience will be different. You might be asked to leave your comfort zone a bit, but rest assured that no one is going to throw you out to the wolves. This is a fun experience, so don't stress too much about what you think you can and can't do. If you don't think you'll be able to commit to being a co-host, ask around in the rooms. You might be able to get a position as an NPC or something. Everything always works out in the end.
I didn't get accepted into the rooms I applied in. Don't be discouraged. You can still be accepted as an official room roleplayer. For more information on what that is keep reading:
I was told that I'm an Official Room Roleplayer. What does that mean? It can be a bit hazardous to have too many official characters in one room, so rooms set limits to how many co-hosts they can accept. Anyone who didn't get chosen as a co-host and is still interested in working in a particular room can become an Official Room Roleplayer. If you become one, you will still participate in the planning, but you will not have a character and a regular part in the plot like the co-hosts. However, lots of things can change over the course of a year, and these roles often get changed up as people leave for one reason or other. Often, Official Room Roleplayers eventually end up being co-hosts or NPCs by the end, but remember that it's not always a certain thing. If you really want to stay in a particular room, embrace your role as an Official Room Roleplayer. If you want to be a co-host right away and don't care which room you're in, you can still apply in other rooms that are taking applications. Note, you don't have to give up your role to TRY for another role. You just have to give up the old one if you successfully obtain a new one that you like better.
I missed the co-host applications! Can I still be a co-host? Yes! Regardless of when you apply, you'll always have a chance. People drop out of the ball all year long for various reasons, so there are always gaps that need to be filled. If you're not sure which rooms need extra help, just ask in here. We can point you in the right direction.

3.how active are you, is there anything that may hinder your activity? : I am usually very active (I get on like every day) and can be very flexible with my schedule. I have some cheer events on Thursdays and Fridays, but that'll go away after Jan. I'm also working with the monthly event committee.

Did you need to know anything else? (:
6.anything else? : I like cookies and laugh when I forget that on chatango my smiles come out upsidedown. (:
