| THE RULES |

[ROCK N ROLL, BBY !]

first of all, let us be the first to welcome you to LOST IN THIS PLACE. you reading these rules means that we're automatically going to like you, so please continue on reading. they're a necessarily evil, after all, but much more necessary than evil definitely. every site needs their rules and these are ours, so we'll try to be as short and sweet as we can.

general. be respectful to not only to the admins, but the other members and guests. we want this to be a respectful community, so that everyone feels welcome. don't be a bully and you won't get bullied! simple enough? good. moving on with the general stuff, make sure you follow the proboards tos. so that means, yes, this site is rated pg-13. sex, alcohol, cursing happens. i, personally, am a fan of fade to black. so do it. because if we get deleted, we will not be happy.

characters. we are a panfandom, so we'll be accepting almost any characters. however, we will be requiring that everyone have an actual face claim - yes, even you anime characters. and most definitely you book characters. if it's a someone with a set face, you don't necessarily have to use it, but if not, pm one of the admins and give them a damn good reason. otherwise we won't be accepting it. another thing we won't be accepting is characters from reality television. is america idol your favorite show? great! just don't play someone from it. real people won't be accepted. another thing that won't be accepted is animals. as lovely as aslan and others can be, we won't accept it. sorry. as long as the fandom isn't deemed to silly (something like spongebob, fairly god parents, etc.) and has a human face claim, we should be accepting it. if we don't, though, you will get a good reason. i promise. also, please wait until you're first character has 20, mostly ic, posts before applying for a new one. thank you!

originals. okay, if you have no interest in making an original character, i will give you permission to skip over this little paragraph. but for those of you who may - read it. no mary sue's or gary stu's will be accepted. this character should be very well developed - as originals will be something that we will go hard on, considering the endless amount of canon choices every has. don't make someone with the sole purpose of just hooking up with your fandom crush. give them depth and ambition, goals and their own certain charm. after all, that's what makes them interesting.

word count. yes, we have a word count. most counts do have them, after all. our's is only one hundred and fifty words, however, so that shouldn't be struggle. remember, use your characters five (normally five at least) senses. they have thoughts, they have self-conscious habits - go into detail! our plot is an interesting one that will affect their characters, so reaching that little goal should be absolutely no issue for any single one of you, even the beginners.

activity. active sites need active members! there's no doubt about it. we will be having an activity check at the end of each month, so make sure that you're active and posting so you won't get deleted! for whatever reason you may end up being away - we have an away board for a reason! make sure to post there if you'll be gone roughly five or six days, or more. we'd hate to accidentally delete you and have you come back... that'd be awkward. let's just prevent it from happening, okay? okay.

graphics. everyone loves them! the avatar's can be no bigger than 150x200, and the signatures shouldn't stretch the page - so no wider than 500 pixels. preferably 500 is the maxim height as well, just because i don't want to spend an hour scrolling down. make sure that well, to put it frankly, you're images aren't ugly. i don't want flashy glittering text or sparkling borders, personally, because i think it's tacky and overdone. gifs, of course, are fine for this. oh! and one last thing, the password is florence.

one final note. thank you for reading everything! and if not, stop cheating and go back up and read it. we'd like to give you a warm welcome to the site, and really hope you enjoy your stay. if you ever have any questions, feel free to ask in the cbox, pm an admin, or whatever floats your boat! we're more than excited to have you here and will hope you'll stick around! <3
