The Basics :=>: All of the site rules Apply. I won't tell you to break a site rule, Ever. If you haven't gone over those please go do that now, they can be found pretty much anywhere in the forums. Follow them, I don't want to get in trouble and I don't want this thread locked until it is "good and dead" ... or until I have to make a new one. *Crosses fingers and hopes for second option*
Forms :=>: As just about anyone who has joined my RPs before knows, I always create a form for you to use. Well, I'm going to provide one, because I really dislike those colorless, uber simple forms that people tend to use and not put any thought or creativity into. But, that being typed, I won't require you to use mine... unless you plan on doing one of those simple things where you just list everything that I need. I'll post everything you need to include above the form for those of you who would like to use there own, well formatted but easy to follow forms. Also, as per site regulations, I will only allow 1 picture per form, that would be your humans picture, if you weren't sure. I'm only allowing human/realistic/non-emo/non-goth photos; no cartoons, anime, sims, etc. So to all of you who don't agree, sorry...if it's that big of a deal then don't join. I don't allow additional links either as they still count as pictures. You will need to remove them if you add them, So save yourself the trouble, don't bother with the fancy links. I understand that a lot of you want to post more than one picture or link, but I can't allow it when CS doesn't allow it. If you would like to put a more intricate form with more than 1 picture I will be creating a site for this rp as well, I'll be posting the link on one of the front posts if you are interested.
Role-Playing :=>: First off, you need to wait until you are accepted before you can RP. Please, by all means, PM me for any reason, anything At.All. I love PMs! I'm a human too, and sometimes I forget to update something, or I just might not have had the time. Secondly, please try to limit the cussing (and star out any vowels) and NO text talk. Oh Puh-lease! NOOO TEXT TALK! USE YOUR WORDS. Third, I expect that you should know this already, since you've read the site rules and all, but please use Fade-to-Blacks and Timeskips before going too far (really, you shouldn't be fading or skipping since it's a school type rp, with kids that are young to young adult). BUT, do feel free to have romance and drama, I love romance and drama's a lot of fun too, this would be a good rp for that sort of thing... just don't go overboard (hehe pun X3). However, with that said, I don't want you to skip several days ahead in the RP if it will affect all (or most) of the RP characters (ie: A fair is coming, two rpers skip several days to the fair when everyone else is still a week away) If you're skipping days but it will only affect the people rping together (ie: two rpers skip a few days because their characters made plans to hang out) then it's fine. Fourth, Please don't go over five pages without me. I don't mind if it goes over a Little. on accident once in a while, but going ten+ pages over every time is not an accident. It is pure carelessness. Finally Fifth, Please don't be your own crush or boyfriend/girlfriend or spouse or fiance (I'm sorry if this offends people, but I only allow straight relationships in my roleplays. Personally, I have nothing against people who are LGBT, but this isn't the RP for that type of relationship)... Oh, and one last thing, I don't want to see a whole lot of out-of-character. If you're just here to chat then quite frankly, go away or PM the other person.I don't want this RP getting locked because it is so spammed up. OOC and RPing on the same post is very much welcome though. Okay, I lied... sort of, THIS is the thing: this rp takes place all over the world. that being stated, I don't live all over the world nor do I know what the laws in all the different countries are, so I'm merging all of the laws with the USA laws: No one under 18 can smoke, no one under 21 can drink, and NO ONE, under any circumstances, can do any type of illegal drugs (if you're not sure what's illegal either ask me <I live in the USA> or just don't mention it.) I didn't think I'd have to put that down, but some people need it I guess.
Characters :=>: You can have as many characters as your heart desires, so long as you can [1]Keep track of all of them and [2]keep them all active. I would greatly appreciate if you could keep the genders somewhat even as well. I don't want twenty girls to three boys (or vice versa). On the topic of looks, only use real life, HUMAN pictures. Not Anime or Cartoons or Sims or anything else, also, don't use emo/goth pictures please... this isn't the RP for them. I don't like when RPs mix pictures, such as human and anime in the same rp. It drives me nuts and totally defeats any reality the RP could have. If you need an idea of what I'm talking about look at my character pictures. Lastly, as I stated above please don't be your own crush, boyfriend/girlfriend, spouse or fiance. If you were to be your own it would sort of negate the whole idea of role-playing. (and, I'm sorry if this offends people but I only allow straight people and relationships in my roleplays. Personally I have nothing against LGBT people, but this isn't the rp for that type of relationship.
Literacy :=>: This role-play is low semi-lit. This means that I would like to see at least 2-3+ lines... at a normal font size or smaller (writer's block shouldn't really be used as an excuse, but if you really do have writer's block then please don't use it as your excuse all the time). I don't want to see a post that says 'He looked around' or 'She slept'. Something more like 'She slept in her large fluffy bed that made it seem as if she were floating on a cloud. As the young girl blinked her eyes open she pushed down the massive, warm blanket that she was tucked into and looked sleepily around the room. Spotting her door open she wiggled her way out from under the comfy blanket and slid her feet into the cute purple bunny slippers that waited for her at the foot of her bed. She shuffled over to the door and wandered into the hallway and over to the stairs where the smell of French Toast caught her attention and she eagerly awaited her daddy's call that breakfast was ready.' is a bit more appropriate. I don't mind if you role-play in first person, but please put the name of the person you are posting for somewhere in the post (i.e: Samantha - I look around the park trying to find something to do. As I spot him I blush heavily and stand up. Walking over I run a hand through my hair nervously, I can't help but think of how cute he is. Walking up behind him I tapped his shoulder "Hey" I greeted with a warm smile.). As far as grammar and spelling go, please, please, please try to be accurate. I can understand the mistakes here and there but I don't want a post that reads: .Trailr stod in barns loking at the hoses ate the hae nosily" ... No ... jut no. Preferably it would read: Taylor stood in the barn looking at the horses eat the hay noisily. If you need help with spelling or grammar please ask me, I'm pretty decent with it (unless of course you live in a different country, then you may not think so).
Have Fun :=>: I"m pretty sure that I've typed everything that I had in mind, but I will add more rules if I find it necessary, so please, don't hesitate to check this post often. Now, without further ado, my last and final rule: HAVE FUN!!! (<= this is by far the most critical rule there is)._______________________ _____________________________________________________ _______________________
