All members will be warned two times, the third time your account will be deleted.
Roleplaying
-No godmoding: Unless your character is using a magic or has the other characters heart, you may not control the actions of another character. ALSO using magic or stealing a heart in order to control another character must be discussed beforehand and ran by both admins. Failure to do this will result in a warning.
-Pg-13: all roleplays on this site must be PG-13 or under. Cursing is allowed, just not a significant amount.
-Word Count: on this site, we do have a low word count of 50+. We expect all characters to be able to give enough information for other characters to reply.
-Grammar: Please try to use your best grammar, that means no text-talk. (example:r u kidding me? y did u do that?: Are you kidding me? Why did you do that?
- Point of View: Try to keep your roleplays in past tense and third person. (example:I'm going to the mall. He went to the mall.)
-OOC & IC: Please try to keep your IC & OOC posts seperate. We have a shoutbox on the bottom for OOC conversation, and a Chatbox below that for IC conversation. Chatbox rules apply to both IC and OOC chats and are posted to the left of the IC Chatbox.
-Plot: Be sure to follow the plot. Not following the plot can make other members confused. You are also welcome to take part in your own sideplots.

General Rules
-OOC Relationships: Please try to refrain from IC relationships affecting OOC relationships. Just because your characters hate each other, that doesn't mean you have to. (example: The Evil Queen and Snow White). If you are having trouble with this please PM an admin.
-Amount of Characters: No one is permitted to have a certain amount of characters. Just try to only keep characters that you can handle.
-Activity: Here at Stories of Storybrooke, we have a no tolerance policy for inactive accounts. If it is seen that you have not applied for a character within one week of registering an account, you will be deleted. If you have not been posted one ic post/thread within four weeks, you will be deleted. The only way out of this is if you message an admin or post in the absences board. Also, without a post in the absensesboard no character should go more then 30 days without posting. After the first 30 days you will get a warning, and after the next 30 days if there is still no post your account will be deleted. If you have more then one account only inactive accounts will be deleted as mentioned above.
-Adoptable Characters: In order to adopt a character from the Adoptable Characters board, you must have one character with 5 IC posts. By taking an adoptable character, you will not need to apply that character again. If you wish to adopt a character, PM an admin. First come, first serve.
