To be honest, I've never read Tess' rules. I do understand the basics of them, though, and I hope you do too.
1. Please keep genders even; I cannot stress this enough.
2. Swearing is quite alright with me, but keep it to a minimum for the sake of the forum.
3. Romance is obviously encouraged, though I mean beyond the ridiculous 'aww babe i love you *kiss on the cheek*' stuff.
Steamy make-outs are just peachy with me, but any more than that should be carried over to PM.
4. Please don't make your character stereotypical. By this, I mean "don't give these traits to your character(s)":
- Asian-pop or *majorly* scene. I see a lot of it, and even though I'm trying not to be rude, it irks me. Please be realistic.
- Don't make your characters bipolar, or have some crazy-crazy disorder. It's different if you actually are
bipolar, but I think you can see where I'm going on this one.
- Nix the names like Rain, Sunshine, Roxie, Star, Candy, etc. What are you, ten? I'm literally begging you to be realistic.
5. Understand that I'm the owner of this RP, and if I don't accept you, it's because I don't want to.
6. Try to take it slow in the romance department. Just because a guy tells you that you look cute doesn't mean you're meant to be.
7. Please use correct grammar and punctuation. I understand a couple absentminded faults, but that only goes so far.5
8. { Minorly } literate posts are encouraged. No less than a 5-sentence post -- you'll get a few warnings, and then kicked off.
9. If I see random, fun, crazy or hyper in your character description, I will not accept you.
10. I expect you to edit your character form when you form a crush, get a new tattoo, etc. Inform me when this happens!
