So is there a way to respond to other comments directed towards me without adding to the post? Genuine question.

Just responding to the person above me. I'm sure you can tell I don't post much, if at all. If there's a way to reply to them without having to reply to the entire post, I'd be happy to be informed on that!

I am absolutely fine with letting things be. I also truly think the alternative I offered is a wonderful place to look for other options. Fantastic event, lots of FC's that fit the description, and the interactions I have had with their staff have been nothing short of phenomenal.

I absolutely won't disagree with you. I understand I didn't have to respond, and acknowledge that I did come and post here, and in no way felt like I had to. I know this was a decision I made myself. Truly, I don't feel like anyone has to be upset, but personal attacks aren't needed, either.

Appreciate it!

yourself into an OOC environment. This is something I also have to consider when inviting people into the FC, and you're right, the "vibes" were not there. And I am definitely not going to watch someone post half a story trying to vilify my FC, censored or not. Hope the DM's are more productive.

"I didn't think you did anything maliciously"
"I think you are maliciously framing my emotional reaction to this rejection"

Like I said, these were not retroactively applied reasons. When applying for an FC, I'd assume you are not only trying to place your character within a story, but +

acting as if a malicious act has been committed. As an FC we are well within our rights to accept or deny applications as we see fit, as would any FC. How you respond to it is entirely up to you, and I hope you can move past whatever negative impact you're feeling, and find the right space for you.

Your bluesky is linked in your character's carrd. I've seen your account well before this conversation. This is my only account. I really don't see why us stating that based on what you want for your character, which is listed in a carrd you share publicly, does not sit well with us, is basis for +

Nothing has changed between then and now. I even provided resources to a very active monthly event with a number of FC's recruiting listed on their Discord as to not send you off empty-handed, which you seemed to have left out of your post.

When I saw your in-game application you were offline, though we still went over Sainte's carrd, and found that the character as you have Sainte listed was not a good fit. The reasons were determined before any decision was made. People were uncomfortable, and for me, that's all I need to know.

We're a public FC and I don't make decisions I won't support publicly. I meant what I said when I said I mean no harm in denying your application, but if you don't feel that way, then I suppose best I can do is offer apologies. There's a spot for everyone, and I'm sure you'll find a spot for Sainte.

As an FC lead, if my FC says they are uncomfortable with something, I am not going to ask them to change their stance to accommodate. Also, we're not an "evil drug den", but I'm glad the image is there! Hope you find what you're looking for.

Well, this was fast. Hi, I'm the FC lead you spoke to, and just to clear this up, your character is listed with themes that OOC my FC expressed discomfort with. I think I explained the exact themes pretty clearly, and even offered you an alternative place to look.
