RULES

[[[Mistress Olivia]]]

<sup>001: Respect. Be respectful of other members on this site. This includes no bashing each other in OOC or in any other form of communication. You do not have to like everyone that you roleplay with, but you do need to respect them. This rule will be enforced and if any admin/dean/member of this site feel that you are breaking this rule, your account will be terminated.

002: No Godmoding. You did not create other member’s characters, therefore, you have no control over them. Period.

003: Word count. A minimum word count of 300 words will be enforced for all in character posts. We understand that writers block occurs, but everyone should be able to come up with three hundred words for their posts. If any member feels that this limit is too high and/or writers block is affecting your ability to write, feel free to PM an admin/dean for free brainstorming.

004: No Mary/Gary-Sues. Characters need to appear as realistic as possible. This includes negative personality traits, bad histories, ect. Mind you, we do not want all characters to be abuse victims who now suffer from sever depression, but y'all can't be Miss America, either. Nobody is perfect, blah, blah, blah.

005: Application. All members must have an accepted application before posting in any IC thread. Any violators of this rule might be warned, but most likely I’ll just kick ‘yo ass out for not following directions.

006: Character limit. We don't have a character limit as such here, you can make as many characters as you want, but be aware that you will be expected to maintain the use of all of your characters, and should you lapse in this your characters will be declared 'open' that is they'll be moved to the adoption board so that another member can claim them for use. If you would rather your character simply be deleted please notify us imidiately.

007: Mature threads. If you decide to embark on mature threads, you must post so in the title of your thread.

008: Serious plots. All serious plots must be approved by an admin/dean. Anything that involves birth, death, marriage or anything else that might potentially affect more than just your character classifies as a serious plot. If you fail to get permission and continue on with a plot, any thread connect with that plot will be removed until permission is granted.

009: God: Mat and Olivia have ultimate control over everything on this site. If you disobey a rule, are disrespectful to other members, steal our graphics or diss out site in any way, I will make your life hell. Fair warning.

010: Cookies. All members who are found guilty of any minor offenses can easily get off the hook by baking us cookies. Mat has a sweet tooth. ;]

011: Have fun. We’re all here because we share a genuine interest in writing. Don’t take things too seriously and remember that if you’re not having fun, you’re not doing it right!</sup>
