apply fic

a regular story, except you apply to become one of the author's characters. you kind of make an OC for the author. if they like him/her enough, they'll put them in their story. they'll probably give you an app, cheatsheet, and plotlines which you can base your character off of. then you just fill in the app and you're set!

Fib Apply

When you're so desperately looking for a job that you start to fib on resumes and applications.

"I hate dogs, and I'm allergic to cats; however, I need a job so bad I fib applied at PETCO."

"I can't fib apply at UPS. They can tell by looking at me that picking up packages over 30lbs doesn't come naturally."
