Thus, you'll need to write at least seven sentences in first-person narrative acting as if your character just arrived to the location of the new season. You must provide the judges with a link to both your audition tape and confessional during your audition, and they will not visit off-wiki sites, so it is mandatory that both are either posted on your userpage, or on a of yours.

Make sure to at least five minutes early for your audition. You must wait in the roleplay chatroom with the other users auditioning until a judge you and calls you into your audition room.
