RULeS
These are my rules. You don't like it, leave.
Literacy
Yes, this is a literate roleplay. I really want nice posts. That means TWO paragraphs of five sentences each. Also, include a mock journal entry under every post, like this.
She walked to the bridge....
Dear Journal,
I like him...
-- Livy
No ChatSpeak, and I also want proper grammar and spelling. Use """ when speaking, and italics for thought. No **. ~~. --, or any sort of that. Write in third person, like you are writing a novel. First person doesn't necessarily bother me, but since the majority of roleplayers do it in third person, switching from first to third would be a bit confusing. I also understand writer's block, trust me, I get it a lot. I won't get up your a** if you write one line, but I don't want it every post. For me, I get writers block for about three posts or so. TELL me you have it so I don't think you're just trying to post to make me happy and not get kicked out for not posting. Also: use proper punctuation. Commas and all that s**t. For those of you who do not understand that commas DO change the meaning of a sentence, I'm going to give you a quick grammar lesson, because non-correct grammar sends me to oblivian.
Siobhan teased the boy with the fluffy duck.
Siobhan teased the boy, with the fluffy duck.
The first sentences says that Siobhan isn't just teasing any boy, but the boy that has a fluffy duck. However, the second sentence says that Siobhan is teasing the boy and using the duck as a weapon. Perhaps he's short. Anyhow, not using commas, periods, and punctuation in general correctly seriously impinges on how we understand your posts. As does Chatspeak. Chat Speak is a straight ticket to the s**t list. Okay? Okay. Not hard. On this note, no godmoding or power playing. Primarily, you aren't God. You're not invincible. You're an adolescent with a gift for writing. Also, don't take over any one's character if they're here now. If you're gone, your character will become an NPC for the moment, played by someone I randomly choose.
Posting
Please post in size nine, ten, or eleven. Makes the roleplay look neater. I myself prefer ten, but nine or eleven is also fine. Twelve I do not accept, and eight is too small for me to read. I also like color, but that isn't necessary. If you do use color, use a color I can read. If I have to highlight a color to read it, I'm afraid its too light. And don't make it too bright. It makes my brain implode. Also, DO NOT quote. Its ugly and I do not like it. Don't fill up pages with OOC. Have it alongside another post or PM the other person. When using OOC, please use ||these||, ((these)), [[these]], or {{these}} so I know it is OOC. Also, this roleplay is long-term. Meaning I don't want it to die tomorrow. Make it go. I'd like a post every five days. After six I'll PM you and give you two to post, and after two I delete your character. You know, I get a lot of requests, but since it is on a first come, first serve, basis, a lot of people don't get spots, and it does nothing if you take a spot and never post.
Stuff I Have To Say Even Though I Know You Know It
This would be my cybering rule. And that, my dear, is none of it. Its gross. I'm sorry you can't get a real date, but don't take it out on us Gaians who just want to roleplay. Don't take it to the PMs, either. What fun to open an e-mail about people having sex. Please make it PG-15. And don't do anything that can delete this thread. You delete my thread, I delete you. Also, cursing is acceptable as long as it isn't every other word. Don't try and censor it, such as @$$ for a** or $H!t for s**t or something like that. If you don't like typing the word in its entirety, don't type it at all.
My Authority
Don't argue with me. I reserve the right to refuse an application or change these rules. If you don't like it, leave. Don't argue with me. I do what I do for a reason, goddamnit. If I tell you I'm putting you on the s**t list, don't argue, but leave. Do what I ask you to do. Usually I'll be polite unless you seriously piss me off.
Applications
PM mail them to me, with the title "You have my journal && all my thoughts". Don't title it that, you don't get accepted. Follow my skeleton. Don't change it.
A lot of people don't like the names I provide, but these are IMPERATIVE to the RP. So, if you would like a name change, find the character who's name begins with the same letter as your name. So if you want the name of 'Peter', them you want 'Philip'. After that, PM me.
And if it doesn't match? Make up some creative story about why they go by a different name. Get it, got it, GOOD.
If I don't accept you, don't b***h. If you're nice to me, I might give you another chance or even TELL you what you've done wrong so you can fix it. If you want to reserve a spot, send me a RP sample, because I hate reserving spots for n00bs. Do not post them here, or you will die.
