Board Rules:
Please keep this role play PG-13.
May contain some language, nudity (non-explicit),
strong, mildly, bloody violence.
In order to prove you have read the rules;
please pick out your favorite rule and then
send the admin a PM with it. If you have any
questions, you can add them along with it!
No bios or cannon request will be approved
until the admin has this PM from you.
- General Rules:
- POSITIVE THINKING! We are a positive 'bash free' board. If you are displeased with non-posting, casting, acting, or another member either take it up with the admin in a PM or keep it to your self, please. Don't bring others down with you.
- NO spam, post your link in the link area or in your signature, please do not PM people asking them to join your own board, unless they have asked for a link.
- Role Play / Posting Rules:
- Posting Style: Please make all post in the role play, third person. (He, she, they) not (I, me, my). This means, when you are writing in third person, you may only write as your self.
- Posting Length: Your post must be at lest TWO paragraphs long. A paragraph should be at lest SIX sentences long. This is still considered short, however we understand sometimes you can not think of anything to reply with. Please try to make sure your giving things for people to reply to by words or actions. This will help make you post longer.
- Posting Amount: THREE TIMES A WEEK. This is so, that our characters are active.
- Please post in the away board if you are going to be gone and unable to post. (See the away board guidelines for more details on this).
- If you fail to post three times a week, and have not gotten permission to be away that long from an admin, then you will lose your character
- Posting Standards: Members will be required to stay in character. Which means stay as close to your bio, or the books as you can. If members fail to meet cannon standards they will be asked to step down. See admin for questions.
- Profile (Icon / Banner) Rules:
- Profiles Photo's (avatars) and Sigs (Banners) should be of your person from the role play.
- Your sig should be NOT MORE then 650 pixels long and 300 pixels tall. This is so the screen dose not stretch, and anything taller the 300, forces the members to do to much scrolling.

 The chat box is a great place to talk and meet other members on the site. However, there are a few things that one must keep in mind when posting a message or question in the chat box. All messages are publicly displayed and so for that reason, we ask you to read the following rules so that we can all demonstrate proper chat box etiquette
- Do not be disrespectful. There is a difference between joking and being offensive. Do not get out of hand with the jokes because the other member may take it more personally than you intended. Show respect to all other members. Most people on the site do have a good sense of humor but do not get carried away.
- Do not post messages of complaints. As previously stated all messages are publicly displayed for guests and members to read and post. We would appreciate if members do not post about how bored they are if no one else is online. This is an active site and we do not want any guests [potential members] to think that no one posts or that this site is dead. As well, do not complain about any other members in chat box. They may feel embarrassed if everyone reads complaints against them, so we ask that if you have an issue, please handle it in a professional manner. This would be, sending a Personal Message to one of the staff so that the issue can be dealt with accordingly instead of getting everyone unnecessarily involved.
- Do not spam. Spamming entails many things. Do not post unnecessary multiple messages consecutively. For instance, do not say ‘Hi’ five times in a row; if a member or guests is online, they will see the message and reply at their own pace. Do not pressure another member to post by telling them numerous times. It is fine to plan threads, and to let the other know that you have posted but do not make them feel like they have to reply right that second. Spamming in any way makes the chat look messy and disorganized so we ask that you do not do this.
- No advertising. You are not permitted to post a link to your own website in the chat box. There is an area on the board which is Guest Friendly, called LINKS and that is where you are allowed to post an ad for your site. Please remember that you must link back. As well, refrain from posting links such as ones for photobucket. There is also a FANART section on the board for members, so feel free to share all of your artwork there.
These rules are expected to be followed by both members and guests. If any of the rules are violated, then the member or guest will be banned from the chat box for a day; if they break the rules more than once, then two days. And if they break it for the third time, then their punishment will become more severe. If it turns into a habit, then that member or guest will potentially be banned from the chat box permanently.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
Chat away!
