~Updated Rules~

These rules are subject to change without notice. Please check them regularly. Yes, these are long. Mainly because we have had to put what we call 'common sense rules' in. But please make sure you read them.

Board Rules

This site is rated PG-13, which means you have to be careful with what you roleplay. Violence and swearing is allowed, just keep it within reason.
Same-sex relationships are more than welcome. No homophobia (or any other discrimination for that matter) will be tolerated. Sexualities of canon characters may be changed slightly (i.e. from heterosexual to bisexual).
If you want to play a character who is originally a cartoon (Maleficent, Aurora or Belle, for example) please pick a famous play-by for them too. Real people are not allowed to be used as play-bys.
In order to be added to a group you have to write an Introduction of your character, using the introduction model. Please make sure that your username is the name of your character. Every account that is not a character's name will be deleted within 7 days. Also every account will be deleted that has no introduction posted within 7 days. The only exception is if the admins have given you permission for an extension. If you need one, just ask - we won't bite you for it.
If you wish to have a shared account, let an admin know, and state who is sharing the character in the 'introduction'.
Do not create a character related to someone in any way (sibling, partner, child, etc) without asking that person first. If the person you want your character to date is not currently registered, label your character as single until they are registered.
You may have all the characters you want to have but they should all be active. If you are going away for an extended period of time, let us know!
If one of your characters stops being active, (no activity for several months or any response to Staff) they will be put into the Orphanage for someone else to take. Staff will email and PM the member asking them if they plan on returning and if no response is received, that character will be reopened.
Please be polite and civil to all members. We all want to keep this board as friendly and drama-free as possible, so we would appreciate it if you would treat all members with respect, even if you don't like them. Do not become offensive if there is any disagreement and please, if there is a problem with another user, try to solve that alone first, before contacting an admin for help.
Please talk to the staff! We are around in case you have any concerns, problems or questions. We promise we don't bite!
We have a face claim. This means that if someone is already using a play-by, you may not use that person.

Posting Rules

Please keep OOC and IC relationships separate! We can’t stress this enough.
All posting must be in third person, past tense. It’s easier to understand what’s going on if we all post the same.
Translation is your friend! If you're going to post in a language other than English, please post a translation note underneath.
We do not have a word count here. All we ask is that you try to match the post length of the person above you in the thread.
Please attempt to use proper grammar and spelling. I fully understand that for most, English is not a first language; mistakes will be made and that's fine. However please try as this makes it easier for everyone involved when reading and replying. I'm not going to be insanely teacher-like over this rule, however please remember: run-on sentences are evil. Do not use them!!
Refrain from 'godmodding'. We can’t stress this enough. However, if for some reason you must 'godmod' another player's character, please ask them permission to do so and make a note of it at the bottom of your post. Any villainous acts should first be discussed with the people that are involved in that thread.
The seasons change every 3 months. Please keep any eye out and set your topics accordingly. No Summer topics in Winter, and vice versa.
Any thread with no activity will be locked and moved after one month. If you would like that thread reopened, please PM staff.
Although we have no set age rule, we highly recommend that you reconsider joining if you cannot handle adult themes, language and maturity, especially if you are under the age of 18.

Failure to comply to these rules will result in either a ban for a set period of time or a complete deletion of your character.
