This is a role-playing community based upon the television series Buffy, the Vampire Slayer.


Premise:

This is an alternate universe (AU) crossover game based upon the television series Buffy, the Vampire Slayer (seasons four and five) and Angel, the series (seasons one and two) that takes place in Sunnydale, California. Buffy and Willow have recently started their first year at UC Sunnydale, while Xander has decided to lead a life less educational -- working odd jobs for cash and recently winning a "Choco-Freeze Bar Contest". Like Willow, Buffy has ventured out from the safety of her home in order to utilize UC Sunnydale's on-campus housing. With the recent death of her 'superfun' roommate, Willow has opted to take her place. Which suites both of them just fine. Many new faces, and some old ones are sure to surface at the bustling UC Sunnydale campus. Can our heroes survive college with their friendships still intact? Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Buffy, the Angel Investigations crew returns to town in order to prevent the rise of an approaching evil seen manifesting in one of Cordelia's visions. Will they be able to stop Glory before she obtains her goal, without alerting Buffy to their presence? No storyline is set in place except that which has happened prior to the start of Buffy, season four and Angel, season one.

Please read through the rules before attempting to contact us about joining. After reading through everything, if you decide that you still want to participate then please send an e-mail to Christina with your character choice and the LiveJournal username that you will be posting from. A link to a sample of your writing would also be nice. I will try our best to keep the cast list as up-to-date as possible. If you don't see the character that you want to play listed as already taken, then they are more than likely up for grabs.


Rules & Regulations:

I. I hope that this will be a high-volume game. Of course, there will be various points in time where things tend to stall for a bit. If people fail to post regularly it makes the occasional slow-down that much harder to avoid. So long as every player keeps up with their posting (at least once a week), the game shouldn't drag too much. If you'd like to post more than what is expected then by all means, go right ahead (We would appreciate it, in fact). In addition, if ever you are unable to post for an extended period of time, you should always let us know (in advance, if possible), because failing to meet this guideline is probably the easiest way to be removed from the community.

II. All members are expected to utilize the out of character community, sd_ooc. Any questions, comments, or concerns can be expressed among the other players there. It is highly reccomended that all players post any big plot ideas and/or suggestions that they have to the out of character community before implimenting them into the game. This way, if something needs tweaking, everyone can be involved in the decision making process.

III. It is required of everyone participating in the game to create a seperate account for their individual character(s) if they don't already have them. You are also required to use a character icon (reflecting your character) so that the other players involved can more easily distinguish your posts from the masses of others.

IV. Be respectful to the other members of this community. We won't tolerate pettiness over some game. That's right, it's a game. We're all here to have fun. Please do not harm another character without the expressed consent of the player.

V. Past characters from the show may return to participate if you choose to play one of them. Deceased characters (such as Jenny Calendar, Darla, Kendra, or Jesse) are a bit trickier to bring into play. If you request a character that has been placed on the 'deceased' list, then it is up to you to pitch us the idea of how they are brought back to life. We will then decide on whether or not your scenario works as a believable plot point.

VI. We will accept original characters (although, we would like to fill the canon cast first). When you request for an original character, please include some background information. Don't expect us to approve every character that you submit. If we feel that your character is unreasonably powerful, or .. just plain moronic, then they will most likely be rejected.

VII. When posting, try to write more than three sentences. We expect everyone involved with this game to be a decent writer. You don't have to be a novelist, or even an outstanding writer (Lord knows we're not), but you should be able to manage a couple of paragraphs per post at least. We don't think that it is too much to ask of you all.

VIII. If you decide that this game just isn't for you, then please let the moderators know rather than vanishing off the face of the Earth. By letting us know that you want to quit the RPG ahead of time, we are able to find a replacement much sooner, which keeps everything running a lot more smoothly.

IX. Any questions, comments, or concerns regarding the game that you may have can be directed toward the moderator: Christina (finesse_bottom). I will do my best to help out with whatever it is that you need.

X. Have fun, goddamnit! That's all. We felt like listing a full set of ten commandments. <3.
