THE RULES
Hello everyone and welcome to Mischief Managed!
before we get started I'd like to just get some rules out there. Once you have read the rules go ahead and make your first character.
We welcome both Cannons and original characters but please keep in mind that if you are playing a well-known cannon you must stick to the book. e.g. Draco would not be a kind fun-loving person. At least not on the outside.
Create your account and post in the correct section. Say or Bella will have you sorted shortly and you can begin to rp. Please only post in the OOC section until you have been sorted.
Once you are sorted have fun! Post!
1. you need to know how to spell properly, and have some idea of what to say.
examples --do NOT speak like this: "i lold at u and thought u was dumb"
"BuT HaRrY Y dO yOu NoT lYke DiS?"...just have some basic typing abilities.
On top of this, a basic working knowledge of the English language is required. If you are struggling with grammar, we will be happy to work with you up to a point.
2. For the moment let's limit main canon characters to two a person. You can have as many OC's as you want, BUT if an admin feels as though you are making more than you are keeping up with, we'll pm you, warn you, and ask you to not make more accounts until we see you can use them all.
3. Our minimum word count is 150 words, unless specified in the board description. You need to post enough in your reply for the other person to have enough to work with. No one-liners accepted. So it is also a question of adapting to the post before you. We understand it can be hard to reply 800 words and more every time and we’re not asking this, but don’t answer it with only 200 words in return. If you think the person is posting too much or not enough, ask them politely in a pm.
4. We are a no-pressure site; however, we require at least one ICC post a month. Unless you notified an admin of your absence, your account(s) will be deleted after a month of inactivity.
Posting in games and plot pages doesn't make you an 'active member'. Chatting in the cbox also won't keep you safe.
5. If someone claims the celeb you wanted, well...that sucks, but they got it first. We accept the same face claim only if the characters are twins or triplets.
6. Be creative and have a positive attitude! We are together here to just have fun, there's no reason to make this a less than friendly environment.
7. Keep cussing to a minimum. There weren't that many curse words in the books, but one or two every now and again won't hurt anyone.
8. NO godmodding. Godmodding is when you're posting and saying what someone else's character is doing. You cannot use someone else's character's actions unless they have given you permission or already said it in a previous post.
9. We are somewhat AU but we're not creating canon characters that didn't exist (aka Harry's secret sister) Canons basically stay the same. Their future is what we're changing.
10. You do not pick the house of your character unless they're canon. That's right, we're the ones who sort them.
11. Please use the forms we have made for you here. We worked hard on it, we would appreciate you did not use apps from another site.
12. Please write your name in cap letters once you finished your character for example HERMIONE GRANGER and not Hermione Granger or hermione granger. The site will look neat.
13. If you're doing MAJOR changes to your character, warn SAY. [example: death, pregnancy, etc]
14. The size of the Hover image (the bigger one) is 200 x 400 pixels and the size of the avatar should be 200 x 200 pixels.
If there are any questions feel free to message the administrators of the site, we are there for this reason!
