Family Rules
1. RL comes first! ALWAYS! If you’re having issues, contact us and we will support you 100% and do what we can to help out.
2. The accounts belong to us, so you cannot change the passwords to the accounts or e-mails. Any FC change requests must be sent to the hub for approval. The hub is always here to answer questions, at present we are all in the UK, please, be patient as we do have work and RL obligations to attend to, so we will reply but we may not always be able to reply right away.
3. We work on an interactive basis, we don’t do starters and wait on a partner to reply days or weeks later, unless you are doing a solo or sending a text or e-mail and we work on Seattle time. Download a world clock as we have writers from all over the globe.
4. If you are accepted. You have up to three days to become active on the account of the character. Failing to do so will reopen the role for someone else to have.
5. We only RP within the family, we interact a lot with our followers and we give them the chance to have an RP with members of our family through competitions, again to involve our followers.
6. We now have a one week activity check. If you are not active within the week with at least one interactive RP and a solo you will be removed from the account without warning. That is unless you have made us aware of any RL situations/other reason that you won't be online.
7. The three strike rule. On your third strike it will see that you are removed from the family.
8. You can have as many accounts as you wish. As long as they don’t interfere with your time on your Darker Family accounts, if it becomes an issue we will remove you from our accounts.
9. Be respectful to your RP partner and communicate with them. DM them to book a time to write as it suits you both and if you can't make an RP please send them or us a DM it only takes 2 seconds (We do realise that there may be times where this can't happen) Respect for each other, don't leave it to the same people to dm you to organise an RP or nut out an SL.
10. Due to the time it takes to plot, write up and then allocate your SL, if you don’t carry out within the timeframe, the SL will be scrapped or taken over by other writers. RP’s and SL’s are two different things, an Rp is where you go on the TL and write, it could be to carry out your SL, but if you’re in between SL’s it could be a work meeting.
(​SL’s are a series of RP’s that run over a period of time. RP’s do not need to be cleared through the hub, but major SL’s do need to be cleared by us, just in case someone has something similar planned. Interactions with followers are welcome and encouraged, please don’t reply in the middle of an RP, you can like their tweet so they know you’ve seen it, then answer when you’re RP is over. The reason is that it can cause confusion during an RP session)
