When making a post to the community, please use the tag function towards the bottom of the screen. Into this please enter your characters first and last name in this format: joe_bloggs or marysue_marco. This will help other players find your posts.
Sometimes within the community there will be threads or plot-lines which may contain things that members or readers find unsettling. We don’t want to stop people from posting these things, so we have set up a list of warnings which can be added to posts as tags, in the same way you can also add your character's name. These are:
Incest- sex between people related by blood
All members have the ability to change or edit the tags of a post, and as such, if you wish, you can add your character's tag to a post when you comment, as this may help you later when searching for entries you have been involved in. If you’re worried about any of this, please contact the mods. |
When posting in the main community, please ensure you begin your post with the following:
You may then add your post beneath; making sure please that it is contained within an lj-cut. |
You don’t have to know what sort of shoes were fashionable at the time, but glaring historical inaccuracies like computers, trainers, wristwatches, will earn you a telling off. This includes shouting your characters sexuality from the rooftops. It can be alluded to in personal communication but not spoken of in mixed company; remember this is 19th century Europe. |
Don’t use chat-speak. Don’t god-mod. If you’re going to be away for the community for a while (especially if you are going on holiday) please let the community know (so we can all be jealous) If you have a problem with another player please contact the mods straight away. |
You must play with a character journal, not your own personal journal. No Mary-Sues or Gary-Stus. No real historical persons please, i.e. you can play a character modelled on Byron, but not Byron. Please don’t play fictional literary characters such as Dracula. From time to time we may receive too many applications for one type of character. To prevent the game from becoming over-crowded with, for example, vampires, the mods may from time to time stop accepting applications for that particular group until things even out. If you wish to play a family member of a character already established in the game, please contact their player before applying. You can do this via the mods or leave a comment on their character’s journal. Please note there is a limitation of the number of characters you can have in game. That number is 6, so choose carefully. |
If you have a problem, you can bring it to our attention by emailing us, or having a private word over AIM. All concerns will be kept private or anonymous, and the decisions of the mods will be final. |
If you have any problems with any of these rules, please contact the moderators over email and we will try to help resolve your concerns.
