1) The staff is here to help you. If you have a question regarding anything at all on the site, feel free to come to 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 first. If the conflict cannot be settled, consider asking a staff member to be a mediator.
3) Because of how well the three studios mesh together, this site accepts characters from Disney, Dreamworks, and Don Bluth movies. (We'll often refer to them as the 3D's.) We also allow OCs, provided they are children related to existing Disney, Dreamworks, and Bluth characters. (Read the post on Original Characters for more information.)
4) Because there are minors here, any adult scenes will 'fade out'. Foul language will not be tolerated. Words used in the 3D movies, ie, damn, Hell, etc are okay, but stretch that imagination! Foul language is not the only way to express anger and frustration. We'd also appreciate dark content and violence being kept low too. If you have any questions as to what constitutes dark content, contact 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 four characters, however, for the 5th, 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. (Both admins will have to come to an agreement on all applications, and for this, we ask for your patience.)
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. 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.
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) Please make an effort to stay in character. It can be tempting to stray away from a character's personality after an app has been accepted and the game begins; this rule is in place because too many examples of out of character behaviour has been witnessed by the admins and we kindly ask you to think of this as a reminder.
13) No Mary Sues or Gary Stus. This means that no one character can be all powerful. Everyone has weaknesses. 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 going do it either.
15) At least one character must opt in for site wide emails. Make sure you check your spam folder periodically, just in case our messages are sent there.
16) Signatures must be no larger than 500w X 250h. Any signatures larger than that must be adjusted to the proper size.
Simple and easy to follow, yes? Now, you probably noticed that scattered throughout the rules were bold letters. They form together to make a sentence, which you must PM to the main admin account "The Dreamer" before your application will be accepted. You only need to do this once, for your first character.
