1. When you sign up, please register with your character’s first and last name. After you are accepted, you cannot then change your username unless you specifically ask me or another admin. So please, if you are going to be Dumbledore, register as 'Albus Dumbledore' and not Dumblebabe.

2. Each person is allowed no more than three accounts or characters (unless we give you other special permission), due to the fact that we want to keep everyone active. If it gets past three characters it is a little out of hand and trying to post everywhere will no doubt be hectic. Also, make sure your three characters do not interact with each other. For example, no, you cannot be both Narcissa and Lucius Malfoy… First of all, it wouldn’t be fun rp-ing with yourself all the time, and second of all, you’re claiming another character someone else really might want to be.

3. Please be polite to the other people on the board, and do not fight or harass one another. In character conversations are different because we know not all characters get along with one another, but OOC should really be kinder than that. Also, if someone is harassing you SAVE THE OWLS or the conversation. I will need proof of the harassment because some people may just want others to be banned for no reason. Also, if you suspect that someone has broken into your account change the password, if that doesn't work we can discuss other security measures.

4. NO SPAMMING! There is a SPAM board and in that little slice of the forum it's perfectly fine, but don't do it anywhere else please. Double posting is included in spamming. I don't see why there is any reason for you to double post unless you need to correct yourself, in that case there is a modify/edit button. Use it.

5. When writing a post, PLEASE use correct grammar and try to spell check whenever possible. Net speak is absolutely positively not allowed; not only is it hard to read, it’s annoying too. A few spelling mistakes here and there aren’t going to hurt anyone, but if it becomes a problem where people don’t understand your posts then something’s going to have to be done about it.

6. Try to be active! The last thing we want is members signing up just for the heck of it. You don’t have to spend all day on the boards, but try to check in and post whenever you can so that the threads are up to pace. I will not hesitate to archive them. Also, I’m sure people will bug you to post. It’s rather inevitable with this crowd .

7. Try to limit the profanity. This is a PG-13 action site, with an R rating of language... so a bit of language here and there is acceptable, just don’t go *too* overboard. If you really must post something you think wouldn’t be 'appropriate', just put an ‘[R]’ in front of it as a warning. As long as your characters aren't hooking up everywhere in broom closets we really shouldn't have a problem.

8. Once you register, you must have an avatar and a signature graphic. If you don't want to make one yourself (like me, I get rather lazy at times...) then you can always request one in the graphics thread. I find it helps visualize the characters better and it's a lot more fun!



1. Remain true to your character. It’s one thing to put a bit of liberty into your character and another to change them completely. Remus Lupin would not go out onto the grounds every night and smoke Gillyweed, alright? James Potter and Severus Snape will never be best friends. Don’t change the plot to suit your own emotions, it’s unfair to the rest of the people here.

2. This site is canon, however we are accepting non canon characters. Make sure you use someone fitting to the era... remember, this is the 70's. There really is a lot of freedom because we don’t know a lot of what happened between the lines of the story, so although you must stick to the guidelines, you can have fun with relationships and whatnot.

3. Do not post unless you are accepted! This is fairly easy to understand. My fellow admins and I will try to accept you as soon as possible so that you can post right away, but your bio really must be finished first.

4. NO ONE-LINERS! If it’s one thing I can’t stand it’s a post that lacks depth. Try to add as much description as possible, bring your character to life. A good three paragraphs would be an ideal length, however I know sometimes it’s hard to post a novel every time. Just put a good amount of effort into your posts.

5. No godmoding or controlling other people’s characters. Just don’t do it.

6. Do not use a celebrity that doesn’t suit your character. Severus Snape was not hot. So do not use someone hot to play him. Thank you!

7. Please do not kill yourself or another character without permission. This is a canon site, so obviously people are going to die. Either post it in a plot board, or PM one of the admins before your death, that way it's not a complete and total shocker.

8. Your character is not perfect. Do not make him/her appear that way. No one (not even James!) is perfect, so do not treat them as such. If you RP well enough, their perfection should be conveyed itself. Don’t keep saying how amazing they are, alright? However, don’t make them always depressed either, because that’s just as annoying.


You'll probably be surprised to find that I'm actually the soft administrator here, and will let you get away with murder if you wish. Don't take this as any indication of how I am. Rules make me snarky. Yes, snarky.

That is all! Have fun!
