RULES!
[/font][/color]Yes, rules. The bane of every roleplayer's existence. Nobody ever likes to read through 'em, but they are necessary to bring order to chaos - or to prevent chaos from the outset. Please make sure to read all the rules thoroughly![/size]
GENERAL!
[/font][/color]1. This is the most important rule. Respect. Here, respect is a huge thing. Respect everyone; the staff, the members, the guests, everyone.[/size]
2. When registering, you can sign up using any name, though we'd prefer it if you kept it simple and similar to your characters name. Once you're registered, change your display name to your character's first and last name using proper capitalization.
3. Please check the face claim before posting your application! We only allow famous people to be used as playbys, such as actresses, actors, models, musicians etc. This is a first come, first served system. However, you can reserve a playby for a few days beforehand!
4. If you're going to be away for more than a week, or if your posting speed is going to be down, please post in the absences board so we know. If you just disappear for two weeks without a notice, your account will be deleted and your playby and/or canon will be up for grabs.
5. This is a PG-13 site, as stated by Proboards ToS. If you absolutely must get graphic, let an admin know, and we can create a password protected thread just for you.
6. There is no character limit. However, once you reach your third character, you must have five in character posts on each character before you are allowed to make a new character.
7. Have fun! This is all supposed to be a good time for everyone. It's what we're here for at the end of the day, right?
ROLEPLAYING!
[/font][/color]1. When roleplaying, please keep in mind we have a minimum word count of 250 words.[/size]
2. Please roleplay in past tense, third person. Unless in an IM thread or something similar, it should be formatted as is stated above.
3. Liquid time is allowed here. That means you can be in as many threads in as many different times at one that you want to!
4. Absolutely no god-modding or power-playing. You should all know what this means, so I won't go into depth about them, but basically no controlling the other person's character and no all powerful characters.
5. We do encourage the use of thread templates to make your posts look more attractive, but they're not necessary. However, using blockquotes at the least is very much appreciated. If you would like to get a template, a good site to try is CAUTION 2.0 or A THOUSAND FIREFLIES, though you do have to make an account to get the coding.
CHARACTERS!
[/font][/color]1. Nobody's perfect and neither is your character. When applying, please give your characters flaws and whatnot. If you want to make sure your character isn't a perfect character, or a Mary-Sue/Gary-Stu, then google Mary-Sue and take the tests that come up![/size]
2. The premise of this site is fairytales personified. As such your picbase must be human. If the character yours is based off of is an animal, your character can still share some of those traits, but they must be human or humanoid.
3. If the original character yours is personifying is a fairy, genie, witch, etc, you do have the option of making your character that race. However, it is not a requirement.
OOC!
[/font][/color][/size]
1. We encourage people to pop in the cbox and say hello, even if you aren't joining! We love to talk and if you want to ask a question there, I'm sure someone will be happy to reply!
2. We understand that sometimes people simply clash and you don't get on. In such a case, we would advise you to avoid this person as much as possible. If you find yourselves having to roleplay together, keep it polite, people. Arguing will not be tolerated.
GRAPHICS!
[/font][/color][/size]
1. Everyone must have an avatar. The size should be either 100x100, or 150x250.
2. Do not stretch the board. If you do, the offending graphic will be deleted.
3. No graphic or offensive images. This is dictated by the Proboards ToS, and I'd rather not get shut down, so let's keep to it, alright?
LOVE,
[/font][/color]the staff!
