❖ RESPECT is key.
We treat one another as we wish to be treated, and we are all the better for it. Please respect the work of your fellow writers. If you are curious about something? Ask them. Have a question when you are in a story with them, or a concern? Voice it. We take great pride in not only writing our work but making sure that all creations are given their due. Instances of harassment IC and OOC will not tolerated for any reason. Point blank.
❖ Partnerships:

❖ Topics of threads and posts:
Posting on the forum is a privilege, not a right; please use your privilege as a member often. There are many topics which can make for strong and compelling stories, each in the right manner. Although we have L3-V3-S3 rating, we do cater to many people and their diverse personal values. We are open for business, so be tasteful in your descriptions while exploring your work.

Also, please be aware, there is no subject that can be written about that cannot be done with good sense. Please ensure good judgment when posting to prevent making certain people feel personally (OOC) uncomfortable.

❖ Played In-Character--- Stays In-Character.
Please do not use OOC information to manipulate the IN-character portion, such as thoughts, or “mind-reading” unless your character has such an ability, it is noted in your profile, and accepted by the writing partner and an admin.

❖ Without express permission from another Character’s author, your Character's dictation will not:
… move, alter, or in any way automate any other Character(s);
… use one Author using Multiple Characters to subdue another member’s singular character;
… kill, maim, make major life-changes (like having them become parents);
… create back-history for other people's characters;
… write other players' characters' thoughts, whispered conversations, or private conversations to which your character is not privy;
Period !!

❖ Give what you wish to receive... in all things... length, content, action, timely response... if you enjoy your co-authors, then come to a *Happy* place together… but all writers will want you to gift them with the same courtesies and excitement they grant you.

❖❖❖ PERSONAL TRIGGERS ❖❖❖
An emotional trigger is anything — including memories, experiences, or events — that sparks an intense emotional reaction, regardless of your current mood. Knowing what your emotional triggers are and how to deal with them are vital to roleplaying in a site that has the Site Rating of L3-S3-V3.
