[/size]001. WELCOME
welcome and thank you for your interest in lose your heartache. upon creating your account, we ask that you please change the display name to be the first middle and last name of your character all in lowercase letters. if you are unsure of how to do this, then please contact a member of staff and we will be glad to assist you. we also ask that you do not use any special symbols or fonts so that everything looks the same in terms of the name.
002. SETTING
the characters were taken from their world and brought into another by way of a spell that removed from them all memories of their past lives and the people in it. because of this, we are not going to force anyone to look into specific pairings or anything that might be canon based. in fact, we encourage you to mix and mingle your characters with those from other stories and worlds, formulate new friendships and put them through some turbulence to discover love all over again, and see if perhaps you can find something stronger than the original. therefore, cinderella does not have to end up with prince charming. if you so desire, she could end up with prince derek, the cheshire cat or even mater, depending upon what you would like for them and providing that the other roleplayer agrees.
003. RATING[/font]
in accordance to the proboards terms of service, our site has a pg-13 rating. this means that references to sex, drugs and rock and roll are pretty well minimalized and should fade to black if the encounter becomes a little more graphic in nature. in addition, please be aware that this site has a 400 word count imposed upon it, so one liners and single paragraphs will not cut it here, as we are a literate site. make sure that you remember this password as well, a whole new world. you'll need it later.
004. PLAYBYS[/b]
selecting a playby to represent your disney character can sometimes be tricky, but it's important to their creation, right? if ever you need assistance with this, you are welcome to ask a member of staff for their opinion, or perhaps some of the other members may be able to help you. while we seldom ask you to select an alternative once you have posted the application, we ask that you use common sense when making the character come to life. it doesn't make any sense to use annasophia robb to personify boo, or make her twenty-six instead of the little girl that she is in the movie. granted, we will be willing to work with ages and such a little, but let's be reasonable. we will accept models, actors and actresses, musicians, disney kids...basically everything except perhaps some of the scene kids, animated faces and myspace personalities. just make sure you consider everything you can before you make a final choice.
005. DISCRIMINATION
we all know that disney has yet to develop anything aside from heterosexual characters, but that the world really isn't entirely that narrow minded anymore. therefore, this environment is a safe place for all sexualities, where people are welcome to create gay and lesbian characters without fear of discrimination or hate. if you have a problem with this, then perhaps this site is not meant for you, as we will not tolerate any slurs against people of different races, religions or sexual orientations. anyone feeling as if they are being targetted by another member is encouraged to message a member of staff and it will be dealt with right away. there is nothing worse than feeling put upon by someone else just because they are insecure with such things.
006. CHARACTERS
there is no limit to the number of characters you are permitted to make, provided that you can handle them all. however, we ask that you have a minimum of 5 in character posts with your newest character before you complete the application for the next, to ensure that you are getting them all involved and not ignoring the ones you already have. please be cautious of creating mary and gary-stus, meaning that they are perfect without some kind of flaw or hardship in their life. we also do not permit characters from other fandoms, meaning that you cannot create an edward cullen or a hermione granger. that's takes away from the creative side of the site, as you are then using someone else's ideas entirely as your own. and think them through. make sure that things make sense before you ask the staff to look things over for you. please also keep in mind that we want to achieve a balance of genders and member groups on this site. as such, for every two females you create, we ask that you make one male.
007. ACTIVITY
as we want to keep this site active and booming, the staff reserve the right to delete any and all accounts that have not been logged into for a period of two weeks without notice. if you are leaving, or need to take a break because real life has gotten a little crazy, please leave us a note in the absences board. failure to do so may put your characters at risk of being deleted if you don't log into the accounts. in the event that you return and want to take your characters back, provided that they are still open, all you need to do is remake your account and we will set your application back in order. if you need to drop a character for whatever reason, please let a member of staff know so that we can move all of your threads to the graveyard for storage.
008. GRAPHICS
because of the pips that we have to help decorate the site, the icons are permitted to be 150x200 pixels. if you want to use something smaller, you are permitted to. however, we ask that your graphics not stretch the board. a good size for a signature is 450x300, and we ask that you somehow incorporate the disney character as well as the human playby, even if you have the icon as the character and the signature as the human playby. as long as they are both there, people will understand who they are supposed to represent, which will help the interactions run a little more smoothly.
009. RESPECT
everyone wants to feel safe and secure here, and this is how it is done. treat everyone with kindness and respect and you'll find that they treat you the same way. if you ever feel that you are not being treated kindly by another member or by staff, do not hesitate to pm someone and let us know. we want everyone to get along and be happy, but we won't be able to do anything if we don't know what's going on. follow these rules, pm the staff with any questions, and don't forget, you're going to want to remember i see the light. those four words might come in handy later, since they are the real password you need to complete your application. thanks for reading, and be sure to check back every so often to see if the rules have been updated.
