Basic Rules of Story Writing:
1. No god modding! This is a big DO NOT in any RP! Example 1:
Example 1: Person A automatically takes over someone else's character without Person B's consent, for no legitimate reason at all, at any given time during a story!
2. No Meta gaming! This too is a big DO NOT in any RP!
Example 1: Literally automatically having specified character A knowing other characters before character A gets introduced to characters B and C, when none of the two said characters have no clue who character A is at any given time if neither character B or C had been previously introduced to Character A.
Example 2: Character A automatically knows about events of the future of the RP story way before they're supposed to happen, which clearly can ruin the story for everyone else.
3. Always use brackets such as ((....)), [[...]] or {{...}} for ALL Out of Character posts AT ALL TIMES! This is one of the most VERY IMPORTANT rules of RPing beginners tend to either fail to follow or use them improperly! Example 1: Using Brackets Properly: (To be finished soon, please be patient!)
4. NEVER mix real life drama into a story! Always keep whatever problems that are going on in your life out of a story. This will completely ruin the plot and any other events within the story. Not to mention confusing the readers in general! Always keep it separate and out of an RP! You can draw inspiration from things in real life for a story, but never add what's currently going on in your own personal life into an RP either In Character or Out of Character. An RP isn't the place for people to start arguments and other unwanted real life drama. If that occurs, those involved can be removed for disrupting the RP immediately, including the discontinuation of said RP entirely if said disruptions persist!.
5. Do not use emotes or other random text speech in an RP! The only exception is if the story takes place in either a modern day or science fiction setting where your characters are texting each other on a cellphone, or other tech device, for example. It's once again, confusing to those who may not understand the context or what on earth said characters are talking to each other about. Furthermore, this is never used in other kinds of settings since technology can vary depending on the current events of the story in general.
