Small Reminder:

Recently, we've had an small number of submissions where it was multiple characters in a single submission. As stated in our rules, please submit only one character per submission. You may submit multiple characters, but please limit them to one character per submission.

This is to allow us time to properly look through the past submissions, the queue, and the inbox to see if certain characters crop up multiple times, and to prevent repeats. Sometimes repeats accidentally happen, but by following this rule, you help us cut down on the chances of that happening.

Best wishes,

Mod Pitch

Hi people, how’s everyone doing?

Just a little reminder for cfwc writers:

DO NOT MENTION THE BLOG TWICE!

As said in the rules (see, we know when you don't read the rules):

-If you’re not sure your work was reblogged, send us a message. Avoid mentioning us in your fic twice;

And you know why? Because it causes a flood in our notifications and gives us trouble to find notifications from other writers.

That's all for today. Have a good Sunday!

Signups Close 10/26!

A reminder to get those signups in! At present I only have three signups, so feel free to spread the word too :D

And now, I’m going to be particularly annoying and tag past participants and/or people who have expressed interest as a reminder. If life is too busy/the muse is not cooperating/you can’t for whatever reason at all, that is totally fine, and please feel free to ignore! But otherwise, please forgive me for being a pest!

( @fierarain , @witchofmahishmati, @livinthefandommlife, @luminouscassian, @tuulikki, @singingthunderstorms, @parlegee, @iwearplaids, @mayabazaar, @life-for-the-brave, @bleedinknight, @sea-salted-wolverine)

*If I’ve forgotten someone somehow, and you want to join in, we would love to have! And again, even if you’re tagged, if you can’t participate for any reason at all, that is totally fine :)

This is a quick rule reminder:

This blog does not accept anonymous comments regarding posts except from the one who originally sent the submission.  You are welcome to reply in the comments of the post itself, but any messages sent to the ask box will be deleted.

We’re sorry, we don’t want to negate people’s opinions, but in our experience allowing those kinds of messages tends to create fixations on a particular post or topic because it stays highly visible on the dash.

Thank you for your understanding.

Mod Reminder

Just a reminder that hurtful generalizations and name-calling go against our blog rules.  

“Please no name-calling or submissions that are intentionally inflammatory or ‘troll-y.‘  For example, a post like ‘All OC blogs suck!’ will be deleted.  However, a post like, “I’ve never had a good interaction with an OC blog!” would be accepted.  The first is a biased generalization, while the second is purely someone’s personal experience.”

The mods all decided when beginning this blog that it was too easy to create an anger-fueled, hurtful environment by allowing such submissions. No one likes being generalized or stereotyped, and tempers tend to flare when it happens.  This rule is our effort to curb such situations.

Basically, be mindful of your wording.  Using terms like ‘All blogs/muns who do this are this’ is probably only going to be accepted if it’s positivity.  However, there are ways you can reword your submissions to make them acceptable.  We assume if you’re posting here, it’s because you’ve had a bad experience yourself.  Use that.  If you can personalize your submission, it’s much more likely to be accepted.

Here’s an example:

Won’t be Accepted:  Muns that use models for faceclaims are SO vapid and shallow!    

Will be Accepted:  Why is it every time I interact with a mun who uses a model as a faceclaim they always turn out to be SO vapid and shallow?

The first one is worded in a way that seems to want to cause hurt and/or start an argument.  The second one vents a personal frustration without offending/upsetting an entire demographic of roleplayers.

We knew when we made this rule that it might create issues.  However, we decided we wanted this blog to be more about our individual experiences as roleplayers rather than a way to anonymously ‘callout’ that blog you don’t like by insulting something that they do and making a bunch of other people feel bad about themselves in the process.  

If anyone needs additional clarification regarding this rule, you’re welcome to ask.  This blog is a work in progress, and the mods want to do our best to make sure the rules make sense to everyone.

Thanks.
