Thank you for your patience this week! :)
I am officially done reading through all 157 applications for the Last Life: For Fans Minecraft server.
It’s been an absolute pleasure to read such passionate and great responses on applications, and again, I want to thank everyone, from the bottom of my heart, who took the time out of their day to support this project by sharing or applying to this (what felt like a) dream project of mine.
I’ve been absolutely blown away by the kind words and warm welcome into the community, and I can only hope that this is the start of a space for mature and fun experiences for fans of the Last Life series and Minecraft. (I also want to note that the Discord community has already been incredible, and I can’t thank folks enough for joining and engaging in the online space there!)
With that said, I have made a difficult decision regarding the application process.
After much deliberation and thought, I will be meeting with my top 21 candidates in a “mock-interview” style voice-call on Discord to gauge applicants' personalities and character, better than the application could.
These 21 applicants really caught my eye, and I would love to learn more about them, before officially asking them to join the LLFF Minecraft server.
Already 4 members of the Minecraft server have been chosen (counting myself), and as much as I would like to invite all 21 applicants, I believe it’s best to limit the size of the server to 20 (at max), as it’s already pushing the limit of what I can manage - in terms of scheduling, team builders, and more.
The 21 applicants will be contacted by me on Discord starting tomorrow (November 21st) at 9 AM PST and will be asked to schedule a time to meet with me between the days of November 29th - December 5th, 2021 (this is to avoid conflicts of holidays this upcoming week, like Thanksgiving and my own life schedule).
The final and full list of accepted applicants will be announced on Discord and Tumblr once all members are officially confirmed, which I am estimating will be around the week of December 6th, 2021.
I apologize for this change, it was something I wasn’t anticipating, along with the amount of applications that were received in general - but these 21 applicants were too good to dismiss or weigh against one another without fully meeting them. If you have questions or concerns, please let me know in the inbox or DMs, and I’ll do my best to answer them.
And before I sign off, I want to give a huge shoutout to my IRL friends (both of which are unassociated with the Last Life series and Tumblr fandom, but were great aids in supporting me both emotionally and logically during this process) - I would not have gotten through all the applications without their support. Big thanks too, to the Discord Mod Team, for helping me manage the popularity of the Discord server and being so willing to help! It’s incredibly heartwarming and I’m so grateful for their support!

As always, thank you so much for your support and I wish you all a wonderful week!
(Edit/TL;DR: I'm done going through applications and will be contacting the top 21 applicants to meet with me before being invited onto the server. I will be contacting these folks via Discord on Nov. 21, 2021 at 9am PST.)
