What is this place?"A Strange Place" is the musebox of
dessa_gepichu. What is a musebox? A musebox is similar to a dressing room, in that it's a free-form forum for roleplaying, in which multiples are allowed of the same character, and there is no real plot other than what players choose to introduce. Unlike a regular roleplay, it also does not have activity checks.
The difference between a dressing room and a musebox, however, is that while dressing rooms are generally open to whomever wishes to join (provided they fit the requirements, such as age limitations or specific series), a musebox is usually private. For this musebox, I have chosen to have moderated membership, but public posting by default.
Who can join this place?Currently, the musebox is open to people invited by
dessa_gepichu. If you are a member of the community and know someone who you think would like to come play, simply send a message to Dessa with your recommendation.
Characters both in a current game or homeless are allowed and encouraged, although canon characters are preferred over AU characters.
Original Characters will be accepted on a case-by-case basis, please notify Dessa if you would like to include one.
How should I post to the musebox?Like a community-based RP, all action takes place in the community itself, so posts should be made to
xeno_rp when they are posted. By default, all posts are public, with replies limited to members. However, any post you wish may be locked to the community.
Can I limit who can reply to my posts?You are free to specify who can and/or cannot reply to your posts. These may include the following:
· Character-specific posts - You want to do a log with a certain character or characters.
· Canon-specific posts - You want to do a log limited only to characters of a specific canon.
· Character/Canon exclusion posts - You want to do a log, but without specific characters and/or characters from a specific canon involved.
· Gender/Etc-specific posts - You want to do a log limited only to a certain gender/etc.
There may be other limitations allowed as well.
When limiting your post, please use the following format, directly at the top of your post:
Limited To - [insert character/canon/etc]
Restricted From - [insert character/canon/etc]
NOTE - As the purpose of this musebox is for out-of-game roleplaying, posts limited to characters from specific games are not allowed.
What is not allowed to be posted?Nothing sexually explicit is to ever be posted in the community. The first instance will get you a warning and the post deleted, and the second will get you removed completely.
Implied sexual content may be allowed on a case-by-case basis. However, all such posts must be locked to community members only, and be behind an lj-cut with the cut text detailing a warning.
Please keep swearing to a minimum. I understand that some people are used to swearing, but I am not comfortable around it, and would prefer it be kept to a minimum.
As stated above, game-specific logs are not allowed. Like sexually explicit posts, you will get warnings (2 this time) before you are removed from the community.
