this is intended to be a character-driven, smut friendly gpsl. we encourage friendships and relationships to develop naturally through interaction.
we ask for one substantial update per month. this can include writing, moodboards, playlists, or similar creative content. "substantial" means the post should reflect clear effort. a post with four pictures and a quote, or an update with three links to songs only will not count as your activity for the month.
in addition to monthly updates, we expect ongoing participation on the friends page. while there is no strict comment requirement, regular engagement is expected. we may reach out if a character appears consistently inactive or disconnected.
anyone added after the 15th of the month will not be expected to update for that month beyond their intro.
may 16th update: members who host a community wide event or ffa may count that as their activity for the month. we just ask you drop the link off as you would your normal monthly update.
may 16th update: while we don't have a separate subcomm, members are free to post in ~floorplans for more than just intros. two posts with engagement in ~floorplans for the month may also count as your activity. we just ask you drop the links off as you would your normal monthly update.
may 16th update: friends lists are expected to be updated regularly so that new members can interact with existing members. we will do periodic checks, anyone who has a list more than 7 days out of date will be removed. please do not use the noembed tag or otherwise hide your friends list.
to apply, you will need an ooc journal with:
only pbs with verifiable public credits (actors, musicians, professional athletes and models) will be accepted. if you have questions about a pb, please reach out in the drop box.
returning players removed for inactivity must update their journal before reapplying. if you are removed more than 2 times for inactivity, it will be up to our discrection as to whether or not you may reapply.
may 16th update: we are invite only. all new members must have a significant line with an existing member in order to join. we're looking for siblings, exes, co-workers, family, etc. we want to avoid connections such as neighbor's best friend or dog walker in general. if you're unsure about the connection, please ask us!
may 16th update: we have a member cap of 75.
new members can post a traditional intro, make any kind of ic post (this will not count for that month's activity), or may comment on 5 other ic posts. we're basically looking for any sign of life! we only ask that if you choose to make 5 comments on ic posts, you link us to those in the activity drop off. we will be monitoring for traditional intro posts or other ic posts.
hiatuses are allowed and are intended for temporary breaks rather than long-term inactivity. hiatus requests should be submitted with a general timeframe. they are typically granted for up to two weeks at a time, with extensions considered if communicated in advance.
while on hiatus, characters are exempt from activity expectations. any ic activity will be considered a return from hiatus.
frequent or repeated use of hiatus may be addressed if it impacts overall participation.
this gpsl is app-free. please, no discord, wire, mafia, hyperbeam or anything else of the sort. we're looking for an active friend page and would like to see the interaction take place there.
we will be hosting periodic ffas, update prompts, and other community events on a regular basis. participation is optional but highly encouraged.
this is meant to be a relaxed, inclusive space. be respectful of other players and mindful of boundaries, both ic and ooc.
if you have an issue with another player, please contact the mods directly. we may request examples or screenshots for context. anonymous comments or links to anonymous journals will not be considered on their own.
we're all adults here, we are not here to micromanage, but we will step in if behavior becomes disruptive or negatively impacts the community.
this gpsl is intended to be active, collaborative, and enjoyable without feeling overly structured or restrictive. we are always open to feedback and suggestions, please feel free to reach out via the dropbox!
