I'm a Casting Bitch, aka What Your Questionnaire Tells Me About You

So, with me, a large percentage of how a player gets cast is how they respond to the questionnaire.

As in, how much of an answer they give and the tone.

I am entirely serious.

I was thinking it over today as I sent out one-week reminder emails and looking over the ones I'd already gotten, as well as putting another one or two into my spreadsheet.

Actually, that's something I should mention. They way I store most of the base information I get from players is slapped into a spreadsheet with their answers in the corresponding columns. It's easier to answer big questions that way, like "Have they responded to me yet?" or "Do they want to play an E-pho?" or "Do they like romance plots?" Those are things that are simple and easy to look up. They tend to be straightforward yes/no or number value answers. Anything further than that, and we can refer back to the e-mail they sent for more details. (More details! I'll come to that later.)

( This is starting to resemble the OkTrends Blog, so I'm going to cut it. )

That was longer than I expected. But at least I'm understanding my casting MO a little better now.

I'll leave it up to elenuial to keep me from casting the... less than informational... players as Eeyore.

Almost forgot

I commented, therefore I must repost.
