RULES

Don't be a dick.

There's a reason this GPSL is invite-only. It's meant to be a fun, safe space. Be respectful to one another. If you're having an issue with another player and you can't resolve it on your own, please let me know and I'll see what I can do to mediate.

Please include proper warnings on applicable posts and use cut tags as necessary. You wouldn't want to be blindsided by a trigger when checking the comm for activity, so don't do it to others. In a similar vein, always, always ask the other player you're tagging before integrating a kink into your log. It's rude and off-putting to just throw kinks into a smut log without communicating with your writing partner.

No godmodding/infomodding.

I'm going to go ahead and assume we all know what these terms mean. If you're not sure, ask me. Don't do these things. They're obnoxious at best and really rude and disrespectful at worst. No one likes players who do this, so don't be that guy.

Be considerate when inviting new players.

Again, there's a reason this GPSL is invite-only. Please take into account other players before you invite new ones in. For example, if Jan has been playing here already and you want to invite Marcia, but you're aware of the fact that Marcia and Jan don't get along...don't invite Marcia until you talk to Jan first.

Another example would be if Jan is playing Hermione Granger, you might want to make sure she's aware of the fact that you're planning on inviting Cindy, who plays Ron Weasley, since those characters are romantically involved in canon. Likewise, let Cindy know that Jan is playing Hermione. That way, there are no unpleasant surprises. Neither Jan nor Cindy will be obligated to play with one another just because of those canon ties, but it's nice for them to be aware of one another before Cindy comes into the game.

No ship/kink pushing.

Please do not guilt, pester, or harass other players to fulfill a ship or kink request. Ask once, and if they decline, leave it at that. If they play your character's significant other in canon and they decline, well...your character is going to need to move on and so are you. Sorry about your luck.

This is a ban-worthy offense; I'm not fucking around. Don't do this. If it's reported to me and I can see it in plurks, ooc posts, or in game play (via passive aggressive narratives, aggressive dialog; whatever), I will give you the boot and I'm not kidding. Just don't do it.

Characters, activity check, and caps.

This game allows canon characters, original characters, AU and CRAU characters.

Original characters may be fandom OCs, but they may not have any relation nor familiarity to a canon character. If you want to app a random hunter from East Bumblefuck, Wyoming from the Supernatural fandom, that's totally cool, so long as they've never met the Winchesters, Cas, or anyone else who exists in the canon. It's fine if, in this example, they've heard of the Winchesters, as it's canon that the Winchesters are pretty legendary, but they cannot have met them nor can they be any distant relation.

Any AU or CRAU needs to be respected by canon castmates, even if that means the AU or CRAU character has never met or has lost their memories of the rest of the cast. No bullying or harassing regarding this point. If you feel bullied or harassed about your AU or CRAU, please let me know. It's not okay.

Canon characters can come from any point in their canon. You may play no more than three characters from a single canon and none of them should be in any way closely linked in that canon. If Characters A and B know each other in passing but wouldn't be likely to have significant CR, then that's fine. You cannot, however, app both Dean Winchester and Castiel; Han Solo and Luke Skywalker; Mario and Luigi. Whatever. You know your canons better than I probably will, so this is going on the honor system. Please respect that.

Players will be capped at 4 canon characters, and may add more on a case by case basis per the mod. You may have (in addition or without canons on your cast) as many original characters as you like, within reason. Please make sure that you can keep up with activity across the board. We're not asking for proof of activity because we're going to be relaxed here, but...don't have seven OCs if you can only handle playing actively with one.

Activity check will be a check in on the last day of each month and you'll have one week to drop a comment there. There will be a mod post in the ooc community, you check in and leave a list of the characters you're keeping and which you're removing, if any. That's it. If you don't check in, your characters will be removed, because I'll assume you've lost interest and moved on. You may have someone proxy check in for you if you're going to be unable. Please let me know ahead of time if you plan to do this, otherwise it won't count as having checked in.
