    Job Applications
    Since this game is new,obviously I'll need help. If someone offers to help,they get first pick at reserving PB's/Characters. Here's what I'll need help with:

    Graphics-Making maps,Icons of characters kissing, animated icons or power icons. Even help with layouts would be greatly appreciated.

    Advertising: I need to spread the word as much as possible,so if anyone wants to help,it would be greatly appreciated.

    co-mods:I currently have one, but the more people helping,the better. If you want to be a mod, contact me and we'll talk.

    Applications: It's not pressing atm, but any help processing applications would be appreciated,especially if someone spots a sue/signs of a potential god-moder/meta-gamer and I don't.

    Directory: If someone wants to help make a directory of various IC stores, offices,cities,etc... it would be helpful

    Calender: Because I think IRL is always first,I plan on implementing skips to make time move forward,the way they do on message board rps. If someone wants to keep track of game times,etc... I'd appreciate it. The game is set in Fall 2008,so even if characters don't age to match the current time, time will probably have passed in their world.

    Canon Puncture
    I'm posting this ahead of time because even though I'm allowing it to a degree,the degree in which it's allowed needs to be agreed on and if people want to be excluded, then I need to know who ahead of time. This game is satire/irony/tongue in cheek friendly, so keep that in mind.

    I'm considering posting an example and going from there to see how far everyone is willing to allow it to go. It's allowed in general,so you can't complain about it existing at all,I just want to know where the line gets drawn.  I've seen Shane from the L word have a conversation with Bender from the Breakfast Club and recognize him as "Hey,from the Breakfast Club!", in addition to him mentioning the movie in his thoughts. I see no harm in something like this, but I don't want this rule being trampled on.

    IC Job Applications
    This is where all the characters can apply for a job,regardless of what type they are. Note that even if your character is a Sheriff,principal or whatever in their fandom, they may not necessarily be over here.

    * Note:If your character opens up a club or a bar, it works the same way it would in real life. Characters under 21 or 18 aren't likely to get in-Even if they have powers to trick the bouncers, they should know better than to use it 24/7. Same for free hotel rooms,meals,etc...

    * Policemen, lawyers,doctors and careers that are more general will probably be clustered in one building per type of job. It just makes more sense than having individual ones per fandom.

    *  There's no such thing as King of the Island,nor is there one hero or villain to save the day or ruin people's plans. Think of the Lost Continent as the Island on Lost: It's shrouded in mystery and very few people know much about it. Since this game is multi-fandom, the villains and heroes are expected to try and do more inclusive storylines that involve working together or at least playing nicely with others. Villains can attack their fandom and members in it, but not other fandoms. OC Villians need to have approved storylines first before they attack anyone or hatch a scheme. This same rule applies for heroes who want to save the day outside their fandom and OC heroes.

    *  The Collective can have anyone working in it,even villians and the morally grey. However, the villians and heroes will have to have separate headquarters, since secret schemes and rescue attempts will be overheard constantly otherwise.

    * If you're opening a restaurant and serving fandom specific fare like butterbeer, state which fandoms you're catering to and mention what the food actually is. Not everyone knows what butterbeer is, after all.

    * If a character is in the hospital or on trial, the thread can't stay open indefinitely. It needs an end in mind and if the character has other duties in or out of their fandom,they can't stay away permanently. If a character is in jail, have a storyline for them in mind,unless they're on hiatus.

    * A separate thread should be started labeled therapy/counseling sessions and various characters can post in there with an end in mind. Since counseling sessions are weekly IRL, at the end of the week if the thread isn't finished, the character will have to work on whatever they were discussing the next session.

    * If your character has a job and is on vacation, said vacation can't be permanent and needs an end in mind. The same applies to a general work day.

    IC Job Ads/Help requests can be blocked or visible to a select few,but you can't make a habit out of it.

    Original Character
    There are two types of original characters we allow: Fandom and Non-fandom. Your own original series count as a fandom-If I can do it,so can you all. We're more concerned about possible Mary Sues and Gary Stus than anything else.

    Side Note:
    If you have a character you want to be able to use powers,but have no fandom for, Starchild is always accepting OC's and so is Cape Elizabeth and Magic Card Kids. It's not necessary,just note that if you have a cyborg,robot,android,clone,hybrid or alien, as well as a vampire,werewolf,demon or ghost. Magic Card Kids is a general fandom, so if you have a geek or any character you used from a game about cliques and social stereotypes and have a sense of humor, they can feel free to join.
