The Ashes of Mordor

- It's important to be respectful when communicating in and out of the group. Being petty or immature doesn't help in becoming a respected writer.
- Tolkien refrained from including intimate scenes in his works, and we will continue to uphold his values by doing the same!
- Our real-life obligations take precedence over writing, which is merely a pastime to enjoy and replies should never be expected on a strict schedule.
- Only control your character, not others'
- Avoid referring to characters by name without proper introduction
- Use appropriate images for your character, realistic images only.
- Pay attention to previous posts and avoid inconsistencies in the story.
- Edit and proofread your writing for spelling, grammar, and syntax mistakes.
- Ensure appropriate capitalization in your posts.
- Characters can come from any race, as long as they conform to Tolkien's established lore.
- Please be aware that we only accept original characters and strictly forbid the use of real face claims from well-known individuals.

Complementary Guidelines.

The history of Middle Earth shall not be changed.

Crediting is necessary for all art and poetry, even if you are the creator.

While it is important to have the right Quenya elven names, this requirement does not have to be met for the Avari or half-elves.

It is advised to refrain from posting debates that exceed ten pages in length.

The portrayal of Tolkien's elves' ears has sparked a lively discussion, prompting me to make an official decision. I declare our group's acceptance of 'leaf-shaped' ears for the elves. This decision aims to embrace the diversity of interpretations and artistic expressions surrounding Tolkien's elves, allowing for a broader range of visual representations that capture the essence of these enchanting beings. By embracing this variation, we hope to foster a more inclusive and imaginative environment for all members to explore and appreciate the rich world of Tolkien's elves.
