We've discussed my feelings on holds. In all honesty, I feel like a hold gives me a chance to relax. I get busy, or I get distracted because I'm not feeling particularly creative right at that time- a hold gives me a chance to not force myself to write something that in the end I'll look back at and be personally displeased with. I know I'm already there, currently.
With a hold I have the time to sit and think things through completely. Without them, I honestly feel like I'm taking a timed exam in which I have to constantly check the clock to see how much more time I have left. And then, after putting in all that work, if someone else (who, without me having a way to know, was apping the same person) got their app in before mine? I would really consider just not applying again. Even with a short app, it is a lot of thought, time and work put into a creation only to have to start over and run the same risk with every character you want to app.
As having a game I run myself, I know how holds go. People put them in, never finish the app, and it can go on a bit. But outside of a little upkeep, I don't care. They either finish or they don't. It doesn't affect me, really. Because I'll have other applicants later on.
I do think, however, that a lack of holds can turn some people away. As I said- it might be a short app, but it is still someone work and time.
