1) The staff is here to help you, and they are Lauren, (Elisa Maza) April, (Hades) Emma, (Judge Claude Frollo) and Kristina (Hercules). If you have a question regarding anything at all on the site, feel free to come to any one of us. All we ask is that you offer us the same courtesy we extend to all of you.
2) RP is meant as entertainment. Respect one another. If an issue arises, try and settle it in a PM, we don't need to see a Jerry Springer show in the cbox. If the conflict cannot be settled, consider asking a staff member to be a mediator.
3) This site is largely Disney, however, we do allow Dreamworks, and Don Bluth films, simply because of how well they all fit into the fairy tale genre. We also allow OCs, provided they are children of existing Disney, Dreamworks, and Bluth characters. For example, Macaria is a daughter of Hades and Persephone, (who does exist in Disney) but she cannot have children of her own.
4) Because there are minors here, any adult scenes will 'fade out'. Foul language will not be tolerated. (Words used in Disney movies, ie, damn, Hell, etc are okay) We'd also appreciate dark content and violence being kept low too. If you have any questions as to what constitutes dark content, an admin for details on how to work out your plot.
5) No Godmodding of other people's characters. If you need to godmod an unclaimed character for a plot, ask a staff member. Odds are, we'll allow use of that character for your specific needs.
6) You may have up to seven characters. There is no time limit or posting requirement for the first five characters, however, for the 6th and 7th character to be accepted, you must have at minimum, 20 IC posts per character. Also, if a member requests your character, and you have not been active with them, the character will go to the person who requested them.
7) Once an account is created, you have one week to start your application. Applications that take longer than a month to complete will be rejected.
8) Grammar and proper spelling is appreciated. We understand everyone has typos and grammar errors every once in a while, but if it gets distracting, you will be asked to edit and correct your post. There is a spell check option on the board when you post, so use it to your advantage. As for the cbox, that's the time to kick back and relax. We won't hold it against you there.
9) Because there are so few princesses, you may only have one at a time.
10) No advertising your site in the cbox. We have a guest friendly board for that purpose. Also, when you post an ad for your site here, please allow us to advertise from your site.
11) No characters from shows and movies like High School Musical, The Cheetah Girls, or Hannah Montana will be accepted.
12) Stay in character. If your character is evil, and never showed any form of humor in their film, then that is how they must be played.
13) No Mary Sues or Gary Stus. This means that no one character can be all powerful. Everyone has weaknesses, even someone like Maleficent. Also, being clumsy or something like that is not a character flaw, it's a quirk, and if anything, tends to make the character more endearing. If you have questions as to what is considered a Mary Sue/Gary Stu, feel free to discuss it with an admin.
14) No plagiarism will be tolerated. This includes going to Wikipedia or another site and copy information on a character to use on your app. We all know how much work we put into our plots, and it's like a slap in the face when someone claims our work as their own, so we're not gonna do it either.
Simple and easy to follow, no? Now, if you read these rules carefully, you noticed that certain words are italicized. All words come together to create a sentence, and before any admin will accept your application, you must pm us with that sentence, proving to us that you've read the rules. (You only have to do this once, for your first character.)
