The rules here are few and fairly simple. For a detailed FAQ to better understand how this game works, please see [url=http://www.suikox.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=191&am p;t=32308:ppqkja1l]this thread[/url:ppqkja1l]. If this looks like a lot of text, it's mostly common sense stuff, but I thought I should put it in writing.
1. Do not kill or otherwise cause a major life-changing occurrence to another author's characters without their permission. This includes any sort of romance.
2. Do not initiate a globe-changing event without the head author's permission. That would be me for the time being. This includes blowing up major cities, instigating wars, or enforcing an all-encompassing conflict that overshadows the main event. You can potentially do all of these things, but you have to pass them by me first.
3. Do not criticize another author for the quality, length, or frequency of their posts unless they specifically request constructive criticism. When I first started writing in this story I was 12, so I recognize the importance of giving everyone a chance.
4. The story can be as realistic or as fantasy-oriented as you want it to be. If you choose to make your main character an electromagnetic mermaid then so be it, but do so without altering the makeup of the entire universe. Normal household pets can't talk, normal average-Joe people can't light fires with their mental prowess, etc. Maybe yours can do both, but a normal average one cannot.
5. It should go without saying, but it somehow didn't last time (on a different forum, none of you guys to blame): No graphic sex scenes. There's no reason for it, it makes other authors uncomfortable, and I don't want to see it. Language and violence are tolerated, but please exercise moderation and recognize that this isn't Leona's Tavern.
6. All threads created in the Midnight Dawn forum that are not actual story posts will have "NDR: " (not directly related) in the title. This is for sorting purposes.
7. All story threads will be assigned a one-up three digit serial number, once again for sorting purposes. Each story post will have its own thread rather than being crammed into one long thread. By using a serial number, people can reply to individual posts (which would bump them out of order under the default Sort by Post Time), and they'll still appear chronologically when sorted by Subject, Descending. For example, the first story post will be called "001 - post title". The second will be "002 - ", etc.
If you break a rule we'll fix it. With the exception of rules 6 and 7, if you break a rule repeatedly you'll be asked to stop participating. |
