RESPECT. Yeah, you’ve heard this one before but it has to be said. No arguing or bring OOC drama, please. A nice, character drama-filled environment is a must; if you don’t like that idea then this game isn’t for you.
AGE LIMIT. Mature themes are discussed in the game; I'm not setting an age limit on here, but you have been warned.
ACTIVITY. Be around! I’m not saying 24/7 because we all have lives – for me, it’s mainly work that get in the way of things. If you’re going to be away for more than a week then please post a notice in the OOC community. With that being said you are required to make a journal entry at least once a week and roleplay at least every two weeks. That’s the bear minimum however, and I’m hoping the activity will be higher than that.
CANON. Edward isn’t going to start telling everyone he’s a vampire; Jacob isn’t going to be best mates with Edward, and Bella isn’t going to ask Volturri for membership. If you have a major plot idea that you’re eager to play out but are unsure about whether it’s plausible, just run is past us! Put ‘I love you, Jacob’ in the subject line on your application post to show you’ve read the rules. New ideas are always good to get character development moving along.
APPLICATIONS. They need to be detailed, spell-checked and proofread. No-one is perfect, least of all me. We all make mistakes and get confused on certain aspects of writing, but try and keep things readable. If your application isn’t up to par, you will be asked to revise it.
JOURNALS. All characters can comment on journal entries, unless the character has made some sections private or addressed to a certain individual. I don't want to think about how the journals would necessarily work with canon - just accept the fact ;] unless you can come up with a good explanation.
FORMAT. The game is in real time aka the date the entry is post is the date in which it is set. Back-dated entries are allowed but don't overuse that system. The following format should be used for threads:
CHARACTERS: OPEN OR CLOSED? LOCATION: ABOUT? RATING:
