General
~Please be nice and respectful and such. That's just a rule that should be applied to life in general, so even if you don't end up joining the forum (which you should!)...well, I hope you've learned something from us!
~If you have a problem with any of the other roleplayers, please come to us and we'll be mediators.
~Due to mild sexual content that will no doubt be happening (obviously no SERIOUS/Sirius details), we would like all roleplayers to be 14 and up. (Our general rule for scenes that get really sexual is FADE TO BLACK. I don't want any sex details please, we do have 14 year olds on here. It all depends on what you and the other rper is comfortable with...if your character is being intimate with their character, PLEASE discuss both of your limits with each other first so no one is offended.)
Literacy
~Literacy is VERY important on this forum. Please, no "hai, mah nmes [john smith]...wuts up, i luv hp 4 evr!"...ESPECIALLY in the actual roleplay. We want to understand you, we want it to be somewhat...sophisticated. Advanced Literate only.
~Always use third person.
~You're, of course, allowed to use slang when the character is speaking...we're not Gods here, we're human, and we want it to seem realistic.
~Speaking of Gods...NO MARY/GARY SUES!
Characters
~Repeat: No Mary/Gary Sues. Although Harry Potter is epic and amazing, the people are not perfect; they have flaws, fears, hopes, dreams, tears, emotions...all of this. Make it as real as possible, please.
~No more than 3 characters per person, unless specifically approved. It's harder than it looks, trust us.
~Get in those character applications...it's how you get accepted!
~Please cooperate with us if we have suggestions on you're characters...they are yours, but some people may (understandably) turn a blind eye to Mary/Gary Sue-ness...just remember, we only want to help you and give you the ability to participate here!
Just a note: We reserve all rights to delete/suspend accounts, and not accept applications...we're trying to set a high standard of roleplaying here(in the least snarky way possible, of course!). But we will always give you suggestions to make it possible for you to join us!
Have fun!
