⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀— BASIC RULES —

1. Treat other members of the group with kindness and respect. Be patient when waiting for responses as well, as we all have lives outside of Goodreads. A gentle bump is all that is needed!
2. Swearing is allowed, although we ask that you try to keep it to a minimum and don’t use offensive language or slurs. If someone requests that you stop cursing around them for any reason, please adhere to that and be kind.
3. Any type of discrimination, with or without intent to hurt someone, is absolutely not tolerated. You will be removed immediately if you are in violation of this rule.
4. Hostility and conflict between members within the group will not be tolerated. If anything happens, bring it to a moderator before engaging with another member in anger. If there are issues that arise and you do not stop, you will be removed.
5. A moderator’s final ruling is to be respected and followed, but if you have concerns with a decision made, bring it to the moderator team so we can discuss it! We are guides, not an absolute force. As such, we are a united front on decisions and hold the same standards for ourselves as well as members.
6. All rules apply to moderators as well, as stated above! We are here to maintain order and run the group, but we are just as held to these rules as any other members.


⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀— ROLEPLAY RULES —

1. Please type in complete sentences with proper grammar and punctuation.
2. Write at least three sentences in your roleplay response. We need you to write enough for your partner to have something solid to respond to. Try to include thoughts, actions, and words!
3. Your characters should not act with any knowledge or abilities beyond what they would realistically know and comprehend. We are not tolerating main character or overpowered types of characters.
4. Do not make major decisions without consulting your roleplay partner, or the moderators if it does not involve another member. Such as, do not kill another character without permission from the roleplayer or give your character unrealistic powers and abilities without asking first.
5. We hope that this rule will be completely unnecessary to include, but we want to be clear that we expect all members to personally write everything they bring to this group. We do not allow the use of AI to supplement your writing.


⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀— CHARACTER RULES —

1. We have a general template with the basic information required for all characters in all of the creation topics. You must fill them in with the proper level of information before submitting a character. You may use any template you’d like, but it must have all of the required information. At minimum; four sentences for personality, five for history, and two for appearance—even with a picture. This is because magic allows characters to change or enhance their appearance in any way, which means even with art or a face claim, your character should have very unique traits.
2. Perhaps a rule you have not seen in groups before, but one we are enforcing here, is that we are not allowing AI images. If you are not doing this, it does not apply to you. Art is okay, but make sure it is not AI generated. This goes for any image in the group, not just for characters. The mods have a hard stance against the use of generative AI.
