Congrats! You've been approved as a character at jobrolifestory Now here's all the things you need to do to get your character going.


1. Create a journal for your character. Your username can be anything you want it to be, but have it hint at your character's name if possible.
2. Once you've created the journal, add all of the characters on this page, along with jbls_mod. For quick and easy friending (however this might not be completely up to date with the newest character usernames), go to this. And copy and paste this:

3. Join jobrolifestory, jbls_aim, jobro_ooc
4. Set your journal settings so that it uses the default comment page. Click (if using S2) here, scroll to Disable customized comment pages for your journal and select Yes.
5. Set your journal to only receive comments from friend's only. On occasion, randomers will leave comments thinking you're actually your character. Click here and click allow comments from Friends Only. (Please note: Occasionally characters will ask other characters to post anonymously in their journal. You must fix these settings to allow comments from all if you choose to participate.)
6. Read descriptions about all characters.
7. Make a post at jobro_ooc introducing yourself and state which characters your character would be close with/hate.
8. Create an AIM screename for your character. We have the characters instant message each other like usual friends would do, it allows quick communication when wanted. Need help signing in as your character AND as yourself at the same time? Learn how to link AIM screenames here.
9. Put this in your profile This journal is created for entertainment purposes as a part of the role play jobrolifestory. I am not _______ and no copyright infringement is intended. In the underlined, put your character's name.
10. Add all of these screenames to your character's AIM.
11. All meaningful and character developmental AIM conversations needs to be posted (behind a cut) at jbls_aim
12. You have one week to create your character journal after being approved by three mods. If you need an extension, request one stating a liable reason and it'll probably be granted.
13. Having trouble finding icons for your character? Ask a mod for assistance.

Rule Refresher (please read)
- Your character needs to blog at minimum once every seven days, but we encourage more, though posting daily is a bit excessive.
- Don't create drama among the members, but do create drama among your characters.
- You are welcome to Friends Lock your journal posts, if you like. If you don't care, we would suggest not to, but if you do, please feel free.
- Current mods are Kelly (brainsnbraun, sknights), Skell (coledivison, dtsprizzle), Halez (clinleypongs, lucastilltheend) and Blash (dj_danjah). Respect the decisions they make concerning the community.

As always, if you have any questions or need help with anything, ask a mod. No question is stupid and yes, it's normal to be nervous as hell when you first start. The mods are happy to help with everything, so don't hesitate asking. The quickest way to contact a mod is through their personal AIM- the crab says (Kelly), shoefullofrocks (Skell), hyls44 (Halez) or xxxsassafrassxox (Blash).

Thanks again for joining. We hope you love it here. If you want, invite your friends to join, too :)
