OBLIGATORY & OPTIONAL FEATURES
Obligatory Features
Profile
As the name implies this is your character's profile. In here you should have everything in your application, save the samples.
Text Messages
The text message post is a post wherein your character will be able to receive texts from other characters.
Should your character be the kind to block text messages, they may do so. A sample of a text message post can be found
here.
Voice Mail
In this post your character will receive voice mails from other characters. They are free to modify their voice mail message, but if they want to leave the default
here is a sample of what it would look like.
Optional Features
Concrit Post
The concrit post is an ooc constructive criticism post made to your character's journal. Turn on off anonymous comments, screen the comments, do whatever you'd like. We don't care as long as it's there.
Contact Information
As it is important for there to be good communication between players, we ask that you to have your contact information (IMs, email, personal account, time zone, etc.) somewhere. You may have it in your profile, or even a post on your character's journal--it doesn't matter as long as it's there.
The F.A.P. System (Relationships)
If you've read the F.A.Q., you would already know that the blogs have a feature called the F.A.P. System (Friends, Acquaintances, People System). This feature allows you to rank and add a commentary about other users on the blog, as well as adding them to your F.A.P. List (the blog's version of LJ's friend list).
The F.A.P. System rankings go like this:
☆☆☆☆☆ -- Best friend, love, strongly respected.
☆☆☆☆ -- Close friend.
☆☆☆ -- Friend or close acquaintance.
☆☆ -- Acquaintance.
☆ -- You don't really know this person.
◎ -- You have no opinion about this person yet.
★ -- They're slightly annoying.
★★ -- You don't get along with this person very well.
★★★ -- You don't like this person very much.
★★★★ -- Wow, they must really suck!
★★★★★ -- This person needs to die already.
Your character may also add commentaries about each person, such as: "They're my best friend!".
A sample of what the F.A.P. System can be found
here.
Permissions
Just like the contact information, this is to make sure other players don't step on any toes with interacting with your character without meaning to. In here you can put what you are up to playing (yuri, yaoi, het, smut, rape, etc.) and up to what rating you're willing to play (G to NC-17). For this you may simply fill out the permission meme and that would suffice. If you do not know what the permission meme is, a sample of it and a code you can copy can be found
here.
