We were planning on putting samples up from the start, so we hope that will address your concerns!
For the rest of it -- thank you for the support. The new system is supposed to address the unavoidable inevitability of minor revision requirements for the entire app that stemmed from using the old app. We streamlined all the sections to make them clearer and to provide more clear-cut guidelines, and then we're simply doing away with revisions in the character information section and just judging it based on pass or fail. Ideally, any character information section that shows a solid grasp of the character will get accepted despite minor nitpicks from the app team within ourselves.
You have a good point about the beta-readers, and we're smoothing that out as we speak! Hopefully we can come out with material to help the beta-readers in the next few days.
