about!

tired of psl communities that give very little information about the writer's style or intention? have someone interested in your story line that you're just not sure about? do you love reading what other people write?

this is the community for you!

rules!

1. don't follow the rules and your post may be deleted. so please read the following carefully before posting.

2. you must be over 18 years old to post in this community. by posting in this community you are essentially telling everyone you are of age to post.

3. your post may only contain an opening in character scene. try to incorporate as much information (who, what, where, when, why) as you can. if they're expecting someone specifically, say so. leave the scene open or unclear and you may get some interesting replies!

4. your post may not contain any out of character explanation or description. this is meant to be a challenge of sorts.

5. the subject of your post may not contain any out of character explanation or description. title it as you would a short story.

6. if you are interested in role playing with someone based on their first post, you should reply as you would in a PSL. that way the original author can determine whether or not they feel it would be a suitable match.

7. the same rules apply to your reply. it must be completely in character with no out of character explanation or description.

8. if the original writer is interested they may reply out of character or send a private message with contact information.

9. original characters or fandoms are allowed. please no celeb. there are plenty of other communities for that.

10. no smut. save that for when you partner up privately, folks.

11. you may use tags. ideas for tags that may help: vampires, fandom, original character, etc.

faq!

→ what if no one replies to my scene?
who knows. maybe someone will reply months later. in the meantime, try posting something new.

→ what if I write up a reply for someone's first post but they don't write back?
reply to someone else. for whatever reason the original author didn't think it was a good match or they may have fallen into a black hole and are unable to reply. don't take it personally. just move on. perhaps try making a first post of your own?
