House Rules

  • 0iIQX2e.jpgWhen in the Dungeon
    What to Expect, What Not to Expect
    ◘ DO expect frank, two-way communication. Clear communication of interests and boundaries is expected of patrons before and during sessions, and will be provided by both Volk and Lisichka in return.

    ◘ DO expect to clean up the majority of your own messes. As part of the experience of serving in the Dungeon, patrons are required to respect and keep their environment clean.

    ◘ DO NOT expect explicit sexual services. Volk and Lisichka offer an experience in BDSM play, not sexual services. While a degree of nudity is allowed, the metaphorical pants stay on in the Dungeon.

    Codes of Conduct for the Potential Patron
    ◘ RESPECT your hosts. Violence, disrespect of boundaries, and harassment will not be tolerated.

    ◘ AS NOTED ABOVE, patrons are expected to respect their environment while in the Dungeon. Damage to the Dungeon or its implements will result in fines. Severe damages may result in revocation of future services. Theft will not be tolerated.

    ◘ SOBRIETY. Liquor and other substances are forbidden in the Dungeon.



    When on the V&L Website
    Rules for Subscribers
    ◘ COMMON COURTESY is the rule when on the forums. Our community is meant to be a safe and welcoming one, and the responsibility of keeping it that way falls in part to you.

    ◘ COMMON SENSE. When considering whether or not to share personal information with other subscribers, please be reasonable and keep your own safety in mind.

    ◘ PIRATING subscriber-exclusive materials will be met with legal action.



    OOC RULES
    What to Know As a Player
    ◘ ADULT CONTENT: V&L is an AO rated group; however, while erotic themes are a given, no sexually explicit content is permitted in public areas.

    ◘ CONSENT: Consent is paramount. OOC communication of boundaries is equally as important as IC, if not more so.

    ◘ GOD-MODING: Don't do it, kids. It strips all the fun out of RP, especially when dealing with such a complex and negotiation-heavy subject as BDSM.

    ◘ IC/OOC: Know the difference. Respect the difference. Taste the rainbow.

    ◘ WHEATON'S LAW: Don't be a dick. Let's all have fun.



    Featured Models
    Want your character featured as a model? Here's how.
    ◘ PHOTO-SETS. To be featured, your character must have a photo-set. There are a number of ways to go about having a photo-set made, which will be covered below. Photo-sets will be reviewed based on the following.

    ◘ FORMAT. A V&L photo-set is a set of three 194px by 297px images. They are invariably black and white. Photo-sets must be art created for and of your character. Photographs of real life individuals are not allowed. We prefer that all three images in a photo-set be by the same artist, but this is not necessarily a hard-and-fast rule.

    ◘ CONTENT. Photo-sets may not include explicitly sexual content. While nudity is allowed, we have a no hitting below the belt policy necessitating that all bits from the waist down be covered, even when nude.

    ◘ THEME. This being a fetish website, some degree of kink must be present in all photo-sets. While we do like for photo-sets to have a distinctive theme, it can be as broad as "kink in general".

    ◘ QUALITY. Yeah, this is gonna be a thing. Art in photo-sets must be of professional quality. We will not, however, be discriminating in terms of style. Highly stylized work is just as good as strict realism.

    ◘ GETTING ONE. There are a number of ways to go about getting a photo-set made. Commission an artist unaffiliated with V&L. Use pieces you already have. Make your own. Or, you can win a free photo-set from our resident artist through RP. You can also commission our resident artist for a photo-set at a discount.

    ◘ IC DETAILS. An IC photographer must be provided for each photo-set. Players may contact V&L's official photographer, Joachim Reis, and work something out with him, use another PC as their photographer, or use an NPC.

    ◘ CHARACTER. Featured models may be professionals, aspiring professionals, amateurs, or patrons who have consented to have a session photographed. Photo-sets may feature multiple characters. Featured characters must be and look eighteen or older.

    ◘ ROLEPLAY. We do require that some IC interaction has occurred before a character can become a featured model. This can be as simple as the character straightforwardly submitting their photo-set, or it can be a more involved affair. Please note that we do prefer the latter.



    Ad Space
    Want your ad in the sidebar? Keep these things in mind.

    ◘ GRAPHICS. V&L sidebar ads are black and white, and 235px by 353px. As above, they can be made by in-house artists, artists of the player's choosing, or the player themselves. Do note that there is a standard of quality at work.

    ◘ REASONABILITY. Your character's ad being featured on V&L does have to make sense in-universe. Something like a pastry shop might not fit the bill, but a pastry shop that sells kink-themed sweets might. Use your noggin.

    ◘ ROLEPLAY. We once again require some IC interaction leading up to your character's business being featured on the V&L website. Again, it can be straightforward or involved.
