Roleplaying
- This is a literate RP. Try your best to use good grammar and spelling.
- Try and make at least a paragraph. In addition to what your character says include their feelings about what they're doing or what they're going to do. Include physical feelings and surroundings.
- You're not invincible so don't try to be.
- No roleplaying other people's characters without their express permission. You can repeat what they said and how your character interprets their feelings however.
- Try and be active with your posting and don't hold people up. Don't go too fast either and leave people behind.
- No killing other people's characters without their permission or canons without my permission.
- Inferring sexual scenes is fine but don't roleplay them out. Keep that off my site and do it on IM if you really want it.
- Use either third or first-person but don't constantly switch between the two.
- Keep your in character posts in character and distinguish OOC posts from them.
- Don't use chatspeak in in-character posts. Don't use asterisks to denote action, IE *dances*
- No character is all-seeing and all-knowing so don't RP them as if they do.
- You need an approved profile to actually start RPing as your character.
RP Threads
- Title your thread with a simple name for the RP and denote in parenthesis who you want in that thread. If you're allowing anyone put (Open) there.
- Don't hog the spotlight with your character.
- Don't join threads that don't have (Open) in their title.
- Don't take over other people's threads unless you have their permission. Don't try and railroad the site's plot either because we already have things in mind though we're open to suggestions.
- If you start a thread you're in charge of running it. If something comes up and you can't run it designate someone as the runner.
- You may have personal plotlines. Contact me though about them so I can make sure they don't conflict with anything.
- If you join an (Open) thread and there is more than a page of posts there you should PM the thread starter to make sure it's alright for you to join. Also that thing they saw? It was flying high above them. Look elsewhere in the rules to find out what it was.
Accounts
- You can have separate accounts for each character just make sure and note the inactivity sweeps.
- If you use multiple accounts either link to the profile in your homepage or sig. If you have a single account link to your character list from your sig or homepage and keep it updated.
- If you have multiple accounts have the name you generally go by somewhere on your account.
