THE RULES
1. Treat others as you wish to be treated—be nice. We are not looking for those wishing to start drama. We are an open-minded community and we welcome slash and het pairings alike. If you have an issue on how someone is playing a character you can opt not to take part in their posts. Try to work out the problems if you can, but you can come to the mods if you feel the player isn't cooperating in an acceptable way.
2. Please give your entry a read through before posting it to the community. Good grammar and use of language are the quickest ways to gain friends amongst the writers. If you write well people will want to post with you.
3. The posting requirement is 4 tags per month/character either by posting or replying. If during busy times in your life you feel you won't be able to reach that requirement just make a post saying so in
agrimmooc. We will understand and your character can always take some time off.
4. Use common sense when writing posts. Your character is not all-powerful. Do not play other people’s characters for them without consent. Anyone can play the NPCs, as long as they are kept in line with their background and personality. If you have a question about how an NPC might react to a situation, ask the mods to get clarification.
5. We are letting characters that have powers keep them. But please use them wisely. "With great power, comes great responsibility." Using powers all the time to make things go faster or just to do it is not a good idea. This is a quick way to make enemies with your fellow players.
6. All kinds of characters are allowed and welcomed. R2D2 might not be the best character to have in the 1920’s, but if you think you can make it work, you're welcome to try. You are also allowed to have celebrities and original characters here. If you have an animated character, we would prefer you to also have a picture of a real person to play them, but we won't force you if you prefer to use the animated picture.
7. Before hitting post please place the following information at the start of your post, outside of the cut.
Rating:
Characters Involved:/
Open/Closed:
Summary:
(and if you wish any Author's notes, warnings. Titles are optional.)
Make sure the actual post is behind a cut. [place <*lj-cut*> at the start of the post and <*/lj-cut*> at the end of the post. Remove the *s. Also please tag the post with the character name, rating and location.
8. On the subject of sex, you are welcome to write it, but be sure to put proper warnings (double consent, non consent, incest, etc.). And please do it for the purpose of plot. Make sure you rate all posts! For information on how to rate your post please look here.
9. The joining process is simple. Review the rules, fill out the application and post your application to this post in a comment. The mods will vote and you will know ASAP. Don't forget to add a disclaimer to your character's LJ profile.
10. Writers are allowed to play as many characters as they wish however keep in mind the more characters you write the more work you will be setting yourself up for. Also, all new characters are required to go through the same application process.
11. Stay in character, unless in the OOC community. It may be common sense, but remember that your character will probably act differently to a situation than you will.
12. Only one version of a character will be allowed. We don’t need a comic and movie or anime and manga version of one person, it will become confusing.
13. Please complete a log when you create one. A lot of logs without an ending can get confusing and may hold back the flow of the game. This doesn’t mean that logs have to be finished that day, but a lot of time shouldn’t go by with multiple logs being created without endings.
14. A character can be reserved for 4 days before an application is posted. After that expires, you will not be able to reserve the character again, they will be free to be applied for by another player.
