[ELLA !]

SITE RULES!

[/color][/font]

first and foremost, THE AWAKENING is a harry potter roleplay. meaning, you should have
some knowledge of the harry potter universe. simple, right? this is a harry potter
site after all. please be sure to register in all lowercase with a first, middle and last
name. if you need it changed, simply PM an admin. both canons and originals are
accepted here, but we would love you even more if you take a canon. please note
that canon reservations last four days. if you are going to be taking a canon
character, particularly an important one, please only take them if you are going
to be active and won't abandon the site. if you are going to be away for a period
of time, please notify us in the out of character area. in addition, you will have four
days to finish your application, no matter if you are taking a canon or original.

the usual norms of roleplaying do apply here. don't godmod, and mary sues & gary
stus are not welcome here at all. no one in the world is perfect, so you character
cannot be perfect. when posting, we ask that you have both good spelling and
grammar in your posts. as for length, a simple 3-4 paragraphs (or 550+ words),
is the minimum. we all have off days, so we understand if you cannot write a very
long post. this does not mean you should post three paragraphs when the
person you're roleplaying with is giving you a eight paragraph post with a lot
more words.

one face claim per person, unless your character has a twin or is a triplet.
please check out the face claim before you try and use someone for your
character. all face claims are allowed here at TA, but please think before you
decide to use them... could you really see them at hogwarts? the maximum
size for an avatar is 100x100; please do not upload them to the forum. for your
signatures, just make sure that they do not stretch the page. if they do, we'll
have to ask you to change it. make sure to credit everything if you haven't
made it; common courtesy to the makers. please respect everyone here on
the site, staff and members alike. the staff made the board and the members
are what keep it alive. if you ever have a problem with another member, PM a
member of the staff, do not start anything in the chat box or start a fight
through PMs with the other member. bashing and flaming is not cool, okay?
last but, certainly not least, HAVE FUN! that is what roleplaying is about
after all. (:[/color][/font]
