Use the proper forms for all applications. The forms can be found in the respective forums. For examples of how to fill an application, look at approved ones.
1.Do not separately ask an application to be checked if 48 hours haven't passed since the last time it was checked.
2. If you want to make clear you are waiting approval, you can post in your application to move it to the top of the list. You may only "bump" once per 24 hours or whenever you have done changes ordered by the checker.
3. Something being canon doesn't necessarily make it allowed. This isn't the manga, this is a RPG, and we go by our own rules and definitions of what is allowed and what is not.
4. Do NOT post in other people's applications unless you are a mod.
