There's no need to worry, there is a rough process in place while we get things figured out. We won't rush to get you into service and place priveleges on you whimsically. Though, given how we're still working things out, whatever you get given initially, you may or may not get promoted/demoted depending on what's decided on, though whatever happens, just understand that it's a result of us refining our system.

As for inducting you into the wiki, the rough process goes as follows. I'll assign a small task or two to see what you're capable of with some parametres for an ideal result, but if you can't achieve all of them (or in worst case, all of them), that isn't a problem. The cycle on the wiki is intended to be one of writing intial drafts and refining them over time, meaning so long as the initial draft is readable and sufficient, it will suffice. We're here to help and support each other, even if we don't always have time to write. Once you've completed the task(s), Doc and I will review the result and determine if you're eligible to join, though, chances are, you'll be accepted regardless of the quality. Even if your voice, grammar, spelling or punctuation is piss poor or average, you'll have room to improve going forward.

Anyhow, that's the basics down. Unless you have a preference for another character, the task itself relates to Flatorte's page; it's filled in to a degree, but it's pretty shit, to say the least. It needs improvement, and I've been incapable of taking to it given that I've been making new pages and working on Halkara's page. What I would like you to do is as follows: - Edit and improve the following sections, that being background, appearance, or personality, and/or you can fill in the plot section. You only need to do one section to qualify, or you can do all of them if you wish, it's your choice. If you do intend to do the plot section, then writing one paragraph with suffice. It doesn't have to be long, it can simply only be about Flatorte's debut at the Red Dragon Wedding. - I'd recommend you do two drafts for whatever you choose to do, one initial and one refined. Once you've completed the initial draft, tell me and I'll check it out or screenshot it and send it to me on Discord while you work on the refined draft. When the second one is done, I'll check it out. Don't worry if a second draft is too difficult, this process isn't intended to be final, though I hope you can handle it. And also, don't worry about trying to impress, just write how you feel is relevant, but keep it within wiki standards. Once that is done with, that should qualify you for becoming a staff member or editor, though given that Doc has been quite lax lately, you may not recieve any role priveleges for a bit.

If you have a preference towards another character regarding the task, feel free to ask and I'll see if it's needed.

Lastly, regarding sources and material, we do expect every staff (and future staff) to have access to their own material. Ideally, we prefer you have the official (preferably physical) copies of the Light Novel accessible, since those give the best translation, though fan translations are acceptable. Additionally, the Manga is fine too, but if it isn't available, you can access it on Kissmanga.

Anyway, that's about it. Apologies for this being so long, but I had a lot to say that I thought was necessary. We're still rough around the edges and this is the best system for induction we have right now, so please bear with it. As for your task, I wish you luck. If there's anything you need clearing up, don't hesitate to ask. Anyway, welcome to the wiki. Here's a piece to settle you in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfCxLVQaSis

P.S It's fine to be an avid reader, but please don't exhaust yourself by working on the wiki or something else relating to this. Don't take working on the wiki as anything serious or world ending if you don't do it, it's really just a bit of a hobby kept by people with some spare time to do it. That said, I expect you know that already, I just feel it necessary to make that clear. Stay hydrated and sleep well.

P.P.S. What is your timezone, by the way? I'm British Summer Time and I've only been able to contact you at very late at night due to my schedule, so knowing yours (if it's fine with you) will help with adjusting mine.
