Joining:
- Register with your OOC or character name. For the love of god, please no numbers in the username..
- Your RP sample - don't give me your worse OR your best - give me about what I can expect from you!
Characters:
- Three paragraphs MINIMUM. I understand off days, sick days, writers block, etc, but if I see you constantly posting the minimum I will not be happy.
- KEEP TO THE TIME ERA. No guns, no Converse shoes...
- Don't use those myspace scene pictures - I prefer celebrities or models to be used. There are actually a lot of pictures out there of actors dressed for period movies, if you're interested.
- Names should be different - no Jessicas or Natashas. Biblical/saints names were common, and you can easily google for Medieval ideas. There's also a list of names created by a few members that you can look at.
- Don't ask for more characters than you can handle, and don't have more than two of the same gender
- NO MARY SUES OR GARY STUES. Make them have flaws and quirks. And, think about their position in society, please. A peasant isn't going to own several horses, and the Princess isn't going to get dirty. And if you have more than one character, make them DIFFERENT. Don't have two that are smart, pretty, funny, and headstrong; not everyone is like that. What about difficult to get along with, shy, or oppressed and used? That's still interesting. Greedy, vain, rude... If everyone's perfect, how people supposed to clash? Be original! Drunks, womanizers, shallow flirts, thieves, snobby nobles, etc are very welcome!
Writing:
- Grammar. [Prove you're not: a monkey.]
- No god-modding. Ex: 'she walked into the room, and immediately all of the boys stared.' Let the boys decide for themselves!
- No killing other characters without their permission.
- Plot suggestions are much welcome, but don't take action with major twists without checking with me.
- PG - 13, guys; nothing too *adult* that'd get us in trouble.
General:
- OOC is to be used in the OOC thread ONLY. That's why it's there.
- You MUST post twice a week. After a week or two - warning, after longer, deletion.
FYI

FYI
- You get three tries to meet the expectations of post length and code phrases. Please don't try out sixteen times.
- Give me a way to contact you (instant messenger, email, username on another site) - nothing personal, just a way to let you know if you're in, or to get in touch with you if you've gone MIA for a while.
- Three (healthy) paragraph minimum on the RP sample.
