Rules
Every community has to have rules... these are ours.
♥All join requests and posting entries are moderated (sorry ^^;). Comments are not moderated.
♥Only canon characters are allowed. You can only choose a character from the open characters list. Make sure and check it before you apply.
♥This is probably the most important rule: BE LITERATE. This is a literate RP. No chatspeak, no excessive misspellings and grammar errors. Most web browsers and word processors come with spell check. Please use them if you doubt yourself. Typos are fine and totally understandable, but yoYr postss shouLD noTT look liek THsi.
♥No posting out of character (as yourself and not your character) outside of specified posts. If you want to add a note OOC in an actual RP post, please do so in (parenthesis) or [brackets], however you like to do it best.
♥Please keep your characters IC AND follow the canon when you're in this comm. You can do what you'd like on your RP journal and in other comms, but when you come here, please leave all AU characteristics where they belong. This means that you don't post as "Tamaki the vampire" here, only Tamaki.
♥No godmodding is allowed
♥Do NOT start flame wars/stupid arguments. If you have an issue, please contact me FIRST. Even if you didn't start it, ALL participants in flame wars will be banned.
♥At the moment, you may only RP as one character. This may change in the future after the initial "the community just opened" rush. This is so we don't run out of characters quickly. If this community proves to be pretty dead, active members will be allowed to take on more characters.
♥You need to reply/post at least once every two weeks to keep your character, even if it's just literally ONCE. If you're going to be away, please let us know here. Anyone who does not follow this rule will be warned once, and after a week (three weeks after their last post) their character will be placed on the "open characters" list and they will have to reapply. You won't get permanently banned for being inactive, you just might lose your character to someone else.
♥Please make a journal specifically for your character and make your userpics that character so no one gets confused. Don't use your personal journal to apply because you might end up needing to use the journal you use here to get contacted by other RPers. If you want to apply with your own account so you don't have to waste time making an account in case you get rejected, please specify in your application and you can just make your account after you get accepted and PM me from it so I know what name to add to the taken characters list.
♥Please RP only in paragraph format. No script format is allowed. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd person POV's are all equally accepted.
Posting an RP Topic
I'll post periodic RP posts, but you can post your own RP as long as it passes moderation, and others can RP in the comments of it. For your RP topic to be accepted, it should meet these guidelines:
♥It must actually be OURAN related
♥Your post should include the following before the actual RP content:
-When in the canon it takes place (before the manga? During the anime? After the manga?)
-Any specific things you don't want going on in it
-The general idea (what's going on?)
Then you can post your own starting RP paragraphs behind a cut.
♥No AU posts. If we get enough requests, we might start a sister community for Ouran AU RPs.
♥Something should actually be going on
♥It should be something that other characters can actually join if they want, not something with a closed amount of characters.
