Posting Rules and Formats

Posting rules will be different depending on what community you are posting to. Please follow the following rules for posting in each community.

The Agent's Club - This is your OOC community. Post things about the game, plot ideas, when you're going on hiatus, general chat and discussion here in a casual OOC manner. All players are welcome to post and reply here.

The Actor's Lounge - This is where Actors can talk to each other about what's going on, via their electronic journals. Post first person IC entries here, in a casual your-character-is-speaking-to-other-characters manner. Actors only, please, unless otherwise noted (the Director may step in from time to time, for example.)

Character Journals - You may post first-person character journal entries in your character's journal. Unless otherwise noted, all characters will be able to see and respond to these posts with their own journals. You can write 'screened to Actors only', for example, or 'other Paparazzi only', or 'No actors' etc. so on at the top to make a 'filter' to keep certain people from seeing it IC as needed.

Corona Island - Post third-person, past tense scenes here. This is for action that takes place outside the realm of the Shows, on the island where all characters live. You can go shopping, swimming, hang out, fight, drink - whatever you want to do that you might reasonably do in an island community. Actors, Staff Members, Paparazzi , etc - all can start and reply to scenes here. Use the following format when posting:

Rating (nothing over R, anything graphic or sexual please include a warning):


Use an LJ-cut for posts that are over two paragraphs in length.

Chat logs may be posted here provided they are cleaned up and also include the header.

The Casting Office - For actors to audition and Directors to post casting calls. IC first person auditions by Actors, unless otherwise specified by the Director. Use the Audition Form.

Director's Lounge - Only game moderators can post here - all posts should be friends only. There is one open post which is the Director's voice mail. If you have an OOC question, or an IC question for the Director, you may leave it as a comment here. Replies are screened for your privacy.

Filming Area - This is where Shows take place. What is posted here and how it is posted varies according to what show is being filmed. The Director will inform you of the proper posting format for a particular Show.

Press Box - Posting by The Director and Paparazzi only. Anyone may reply to posts, however - so your Actor can express his outrage if the tabloids feature him in unflattering views. When we have Awards Shows, they will also be posted here - and those posts may have special posting rules. We'll let you know when the time comes.

The Network - Posting by The Director and authorized staff only. This is where we will list current Shows, announce upcoming shows, give episode summaries, announce special programming, and so forth.
