RULES
Welcome to Latest Trend. Everyone is welcome here, whether you are a rockstar, a myspace whore, a scene queen, a movie star or someone's girlfriend. We want variety. It's completely up to you whether you want to read the rules or not. It just helps out in the long run to know exactly why there would be a scary Mod IMing you. Read them once and it's over.
RULES
The rules are pretty simple; play your character realistically. If the real Jared Leto is playing shows in England, then you can't have him hanging out in New Jersey with Gerard Way. However, if Gerard wasn't currently doing anything that we know of, feel free to fly him over to England and hang with Jared. We also want your character's personalities to be as close as you can get them to the real person's. Therefore we want you to know a bit about your character before applying. Of course, you wont be able to play them dead exact be we dont really know them personally, but do your best. If all you know is that Tom DeLonge plays guitar, then don't even bother reading the application, let alone applying as him.
Keep up with your character's real lives. It's not that hard, just use google search or go to their websites, most celebrities keep the public at least slightly up to date on what they are doing – movies, touring ect. While in character please post as much news as possible about your celebrity and latest pictures, videos, etc of them/what they’re working on. [Please put all pictures and video's behind a cut.] However, if your character isn’t currently doing anything in real life then you obviously don’t need to update on their career. Also, we love the random laughs, so post whatever you want in your journal.
There is no update limit, as long as your posts are good asin well constructed, not 'zomg hai' and contain real life news or what is going on with your characters current storylines. Feel free to make epic updates.
It is important that you make your entries Friends Only and have a disclaimer somewhere in your journl to let people know you are not the person you are playing. The last thing is we need is to have someone's journal on the front page of someone's fan site.
Your character does not have to be dating their real life partner in the Role Play. For example, if you join as Bam Margera, he does not have to be married to Missy. On the other hand though, if your character has children in real life, you must keep it that way. Just make up a reason as to why the other parent is no longer in the relationship.
Please be on AIM as much as you can because this is how you will interact with each other. Random group chats are encouraged.
No “EMO” posts, please! It just pisses people off. Yes, we all know Pete Wentz may have been down that road a few years ago, but he isn't anymore. Post after post of whining about how bad your life is and how much you want to die will only get your character kicked from the community as no one else wants to have to put up with that.
You screen name and journal must have your character's first or last name in it somewhere. This just helps everyone know who is who without having to go searching through posts ect.
Pregnancies and marriages must be approved by the mod. You cannot have 5 children in the space of 6 months and get pregnant to every boyfriend you are with, as that is just impossible. You are allowed to adopt, but only with the mod's permission. Pregnancies must last for 9 months and you must have a valid reason to get married if you wish to do so. No, you cannot have a Britney Spears wedding.
NO GOD MODDING. This is so important. No one wants to someone else playing their character – if they did they wouldn’t have joined as that person!
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the mod

We do holds and adds will be done as quickly as possible, unless I am alseep. Holds will be for 48 hours.
Now, the most important rule in any role play: keep IC and OOC separate. If you get told something OOC, do not bring it IC. If you have a problem with one of the character's players, do not let it come IC, deal with it OOC. We don't want it here. One warning only, then you're out.
Please interact with as many people as possible in the community, don't just ignore everyone else because you already have a storyline.
Please keep drama to a minimum and do not single out other players and their characters.
Have fun and remember it's only a game! oh, and WE LOVE SLASH! This Role Play is Slash Friendly, as well as Het and Fem Friendly. We won’t allow any character death unless it unfortunately happens in real life and no pedophilia or anything related. No pointless suicide attempts please. Incest is allowed as long as it is played realistically – ie: kept on the down low because no one, especially not a celebrity, is going to run around announcing to the world that they’re having sex with their relatives. Rape is also allowed but only, and we mean only if all people involved in the storyline agree to it and it is cleared with the mod beforehand.
