Heh. My French has dropped off a lot since I stopped taking it a couple years back, but I still have a decent grasp of the fundamentals. Incidentally, soccer is a sport that is interesting exactly once every four years, and just kind of there for the rest of the time.

And Aeraie, it is most definitely not a scroll. :P

Yep. Had me up at all hours of the night watching all of the Netherlands' games (I think their quarter-final stunner against Brazil started at something like 0200).

Beyond that, though, it just kinda fails to evoke the same emotion.

Football (Yeah, I'm American, and I hate using the term soccer.) is definitely interesting more than once every four years; you just gotta find yourself a team to follow. Then it's exciting at least once a year, as they go through whatever equivalents of playoffs their league has. ;P

If I post an application and a story attached too it, will I start at the bottom of the ranks regardless of the quality of my story? Or will I be ranked according to the quality of my essay?

Also, do many writers join multiple Guilds? If so, do they do this for the signitures that they gain?

Toronto FC! Yeah!

LoneWolfe, if you apply your story will be given the rank I think it deserves; you will not simply start out at the bottom. As for joining separate guilds, it was certainly in style back in the day when this forum had more than two or three active guilds; some of it was about the signature, but for the most part it was for the individual benefits offered by each guild. For example, I'll review the whole story with which an author applies, but The Novelists' Guild reviews only an excerpt from it.

For purely academic purposes, here is a relatively complete list of all the credentials I've picked up along the way:

All but two or three of those guilds are now dead, but as you can see, there's certainly nothing wrong with belonging to more than one or five guilds.
