First, register with your alias. Example: Raziel, Rez, Marshall, etc. We all write many stories of various genres and in the mindset of a multitude of characters. You will be able to "play" many characters with one account by signing up with your character's information.

Please note: If you have already registered and want to change your name, please send Raziel, the founder, a personal message with your new username. She can then change it so that the next time you log in your account will be under that name, with the same password. As soon as your name is changed you will receive an email stating the change.


Our overall board is currently rated PG-13.

However...

Even though we are rated PG-13 this does not mean that violence, sex, and gore can never be played out. We do not support censorship of literature because we want everyone to be able to feel they can get creative and let their muses off the leash.
We just ask that you post MATURE threads in the specified forum (here), which is password protected to shield the younger viewers who may not wish to see such threads.

Your thread should be placed in this section if it contains explicit violence, frequent coarse language, sexual activity and/or horror. We recommend that you should be 17 years of age, but we obviously can't check your id at the door, so please, request the password at your own risk. We have password protected this material so people don’t just click on a link and stumble into a more mature scene. Don't be discouraged, after you've been accepted just send Raziel, the founder a PM, asking for the code (HERE).

We also ask that you not have sexual relations with every character you meet. We don’t do that in real life, so why oh why would we want it on our board? Your character can be a bit of a floozie but don’t take them around the block repeatedly. Instead, allude to past relations and stick to a select few that fit the context of your writing.

If you have any questions about our rating and what is to be expected here, feel free to message a staff member.


We not only expect maturity from your characters, but from you as well. We don’t like to see members holding grudges about what another member did in character. That’s just silly.

We’re obviously smart individuals, since we spend a large part of our days writing, so let’s act this way. Do not spam the board with disputes. If you have an issue with a member please contact them calmly and politely. If you cannot solve the issue on your own, then PM a staff member and we’d be happy to work through the issue with the both of you.

This goes for the chat box as well. If you can’t be friendly and welcoming to people, then don’t say anything at all. We’re a community and everyone should feel a part of it.

Also, please be respectful and listen to staff. Do not flame or create drama with other members. We're a family, a community of writers, and should act as such. You wouldn't be so rude in real life, so please don't do so here just because it's the internet and you think you can get away with it. If you have something private to say do so in private.

Swearing is allowed on this forum, but not when directed at individuals. Use it only in polite talk and in character, not in a derogatory sense. With that said, we are a tolerant board. Do not discriminate against another for sex, race, orientation, nationality, etc.


Avatars should not to be larger or smaller than 150 x 150, especially in width, for a more uniform look. If you cannot make your own avatar we can make one for you. To do so, request one here.
Signatures aren’t required, but they are allowed. If you wish to use one, it shouldn’t be wider than 500px. This is so that the images will not stretch the width of the board. If this does happen and the board is stretched, a staff member will make it into an off-site link and send you a PM.


We only affiliate if we think a site is of interest to our members. We do, however, advertise regularly. For more information see the Advertsments Board.

Please note: Advertising through the personal messaging or in any other section is forbidden. We don’t want our members to feel harassed here. Please use the appropriate forum.


Stay active and have fun! You should be posting a few times a week, or if that can't be managed, at least once every week and a half. We are always pruning our member list so that our member count is accurate. We have an “inactive members” group and if you don’t post for a few weeks your character will be placed there. Please read our deletion policies further down in this post for more information.

If you will be going away or leaving the site, then notify the staff in the Absences thread so they will know whether or not to delete your account.


All, I repeat all posts must be ten sentences or 200+ words. We know that sometimes you have an off day and can't kick your muse into action and that's okay, but if you make a habit of painfully short posts staff members may warn for this. Ideally, all post should be around 400+ words.

Also, please look over your content before you post it. No one likes to see tons of spelling errors and run-on sentences. Make sure your words make sense. Reading it over three times is usually a good rule of thumb. If you have lots of errors, we might comment on it politely and ask you to pay closer attention to your posts.


Do not god mod unless it's for casual things. Definition: Saying what someone else's character does.

Bad example - "She ran at him, raising her fist and striking him backwards. She pummeled his chest with her fists and stabbed her knife into his side."
Good example - "She ran at him, raising her fists as if to strike his chest. She unsheathed her blade, read to strike it into his side."

Do not kill without permission! Characters may only be killed if both parties have agreed to it, either in the OOC Chat or via personal messaging.

Write in 2nd or 3rd person. This means using words like "he", "she", "they", "it", but not "I" (except when writing thoughts).


The chat box is a privilege, not a member right. We will warn (and, if need be, ban) you from it if you break the following rules:

1. No spamming or advertising. We have threads for ads.
2. No flooding. 5 consecutive posts max.
3. Be polite to all members and staff.
4. No using excessive profantity.
5. No shouting (using all caps continuously).
6. No drama! This is a forum, not real life.

Thank you all and have fun!


Obviously we would love to have new members! However, inevitably people will fall inactive. Therefore, we'd like to let everyone know what will happen to the accounts that die out on us.

If you are engaged in a roleplay at the time you disappear the other people in your thread reserve the right to god mod you out of the plot after a week of not posting and not letting them know of your absence via the proper thread.

You have 1 month of inactivity before we have the right to delete your account. We know that computers break, real life overwhelms, etc., so we're not going to just toss your account into the abyss. If you want to check on the status of your account just PM a staff member at any time.
