Rules.
We're aware that by now, all rp communities pretty much have the same rules so this will be painless, swear.
Don't mix IC with OOC - that's a big one. If we get word of this being done, you'll get a warning. Next time it happens, you're out.
Activity is the key to keeping this game open. Post in the subcommunities, comment back and forth with each other. AIM is completely optional if you are active in subcommunities and comments. HOWEVER, it is encouraged if you would like to participate in our nightly chats. If we notice that you are inactive in all areas of the game, or only update when needed we consider you to be "role hogging" and you will be removed/overridden if the situation arises.
Be mature, be realistic. Pregnancies must be carried to full term, no fast forward button on this on guys. Thirty-six hour marriages a la Britney Spears should be discussed with the mod first, as well as pregnancies involving a miscarriage; unless, of course, this is a real life issue with your character, in which case you are more than welcome to play it out to your digression. No attempting suicide, no murders, etcetera etcetera. If your character has a child in real life, please acknowledge him or her in the game. Your character's significant other in real life does not have to be the same in the game, but we'd like you to at least mention the relationship in some way, shape, or form.
Slash is allowed (incest is not!), but again be realistic about it. It's one thing if you character is openly gay, but to have an obviously straight person to the public eye, who has a family, or girlfriend/boyfriend be gay in the game, you must explain it. We aren't asking for much, just to be realistic, please.
This is a celebrity community. A celebrity is considered an actress, actor, (some) models, director, musician - not somebody who's famous just for who they've dated or who they know. That means no myspace kids and/or relatives unless the person is a celebrity themselves. And just because someones boyfriend/girlfriend/brother/sister modeled once, doesn't make them a celebrity. If you're curious as to whether the character you'd like to play is eligible for this game, please don't hesitate to ask.
Your username must include some version of your character's name. No excessive underscores, x's or o's please. Example: ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
drunkbb69 or ___xxstewie isn't acceptable, but stewiegriffin is. Same goes with your AIM screen name, stewies novel is acceptable, but mustkilllouis is not (although it would be pretty great, let's be honest). Also, your journal must be for this community only. We do not condone the use of one journal at multiple communities, it creates too much confusion.
You do not need a first entry to join, however you must have an update within 7 days of being accepted. This is to make sure you stay active in the game. After your first update, updates are every four weeks. We understand that sometimes real life gets in the way, so update extensions will be granted. Update extensions are good for 48 hours unless you need longer. There will be update reminders, but you are expected to keep track of your own updates. Once you've been added, you must post your introduction in ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif)
breakfastclub within three days.
Two to three characters max for each person, and your characters can't be from the same fandom. For example, if you played Kristen Bell you would not be able to play Tina Majorino since they were both on Veronica Mars. If you're still confused on whether or not you'd be able to pick up your second/third character, please do not hesitate to ask.
That's about it! Any questions, please feel free to comment with them. Ready to join? Use the application in the post below, and happy playing!
