app them now, srsly.
Hello everyone!
As you may know, applications open once again on June 1st. That's in...precisely two weeks! New crew members abound! They don't actually get to play until July, but it's never too early to start thinking about characters you may want to apply for. If you already have your idea, great!
If not, well, sit back and allow us to provide some suggestions.
For this...is...ENABLING NIGHT! ((Offer does not expire at midnight. Enable as long as necessary.))
Use this post to tell us why the canon you love and character you want are so spectacularly fantastic that they deserve another chance. That this ship will wither and die without their vital, life-giving presence. That they are worthy of being picked up and applied for.
How can you accomplish this? However you like! Essays extolling their virtues, your very best pictures of them, your favorite music videos, EXTREME ADVERTISING, and whatever else you have are all welcomed here! Let's make this ~fun~.
Good luck and happy apping! I'll have example comments up very shortly.

Batman: An Illustrated History
Page two and page three!
But I apparently decided to make this post Batgirl-centric. Now with cheesy 60's theme music!
And now, if you've ever felt cowed by the sheer amount of history there is in comics, you have it summarized! In entertaining adorable comic form! In-comic comic written by the particularly awesome Stephanie Brown (the current Batgirl. The second trade of her series came out today! Convenient!). Who is unsinkable. And generally amazing.
Missing from this, of note, is Cassandra Cain, the previous Batgirl. One of the deadliest fighters in the DCU! Who is awesome. Also this.. Also awesome.
And, now that I've shown off those two, there is no avoiding mentioning the original. Barbara used to be Batgirl but now is Oracle, infojock supreme. Who kicks literal ass as well as figurative.
Receiving honourable mention is Huntress! She had a brief stint as Batgirl, so it fits. She's a teacher by day and a bad ass vigilante by night. Misfit would get honourable mention too, but I am enabling someone privately for her. ;)
There are lots of easy to get trades out for all of these lovely, ass kicking ladies! And a few of them have been in the animated shows too, trufax (well Babs and Huntress have been). I can also provide
issuesscans if you want some quick reading to see if you'd like to see more. c:Now that you've seen way more Batgirl in a day than you wanted to...
Of course, being comics it'd have to be a crash course to learn new characters by the end of app period, sob.
