Clarification + place to post your RL files.

[burningvigor.livejournal.com]

We wanted to give some clarification on something we're pretty sure we forgot to make clear about the "real life" patient files. The "Life History" portion does not need to be written as if a doctor at the institute wrote it, since it isn't actually part of the file and is instead necessary for the event and getting a better hold on your character.

Secondly, we now have a place where you can post up your patients files for review! Here is a screened post over at the damned_files community. Post your file up there in a comment and one of the NPC mod volunteers will read it over and then PM you with their thoughts. It's as simple as that, and you can feel free to start posting them now.

Is that including the people who've already had them approved? :O

You just need to submit the Life History portion - you don't need to rewrite anything, just submit an equivalent.

Hey, so, out of curiosity - I've already written up Ayu's file stuff and had it approved, do I need to repost it over there?

And if so, do you just want a summarized version of it, since it'd break the comment limit (probably a couple of times) if I posted what I have?

[burningvigor.livejournal.com]

You just need to submit the Life History portion - you don't need to rewrite anything, just submit an equivalent.

Although... did you add stuff to it since we approved it? I don't remember it being that long.

The only thing I added was the "diagnosis" section...the rest of it's just like it was in the email.

[burningvigor.livejournal.com]

Apparently I have the memory of a goldfish, then. Anyway, yeah, just submit the Life History and the Diagnosis parts, in that case.

Court what are you and Erin going to do when somebody else starts using damned_'whatevah' for their names?

[runner-up-robot.livejournal.com]

I say they just start a dictionary attack on every possibility now to be sure.

[thebigkaboosh.livejournal.com]

Really? I was hoping that the next journal would be like damned_futhatshitwasours

[runner-up-robot.livejournal.com]

Well, I always did read those accounts as exclamations, so I'd go with something like damned_biters_should_gtfo

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

Is there any chance we could get a look at a sample version, for comparison?

[burningvigor.livejournal.com]

I will post mine up once it's been approved, if that helps?

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

That would be nice. ^_^ I'm just worried I'm making mine too general or too specific.

Is it okay if we did write the "life history" portion like a doctor/therapist's notes (I knew I didn't have to, but that was the only way I could get it to come out; verisimilitude and consistency and all that, I guess), so long as it still gives the necessary information?

[burningvigor.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's fine! It just seemed like some people had a hard time with that, so I wanted to let them know that they didn't have to for that portion.

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

Same here, but only because I've been reading psych case studies for the last two months.
