Geminio Site Rules
1. Be nice, we're all big girls and boys here, let's keep it classy. If you have an out of character conflict please do not let it carry into your posts.
2. No 'godmoding', this means that you cannot control the actions of another writer's character.
3. Good grammar is expected, this isn't facebook so I expect us all to write like proper writers here. Just try your best, minor grammar and spelling mistakes are to be expected occasionally, we're all human but text speak isn't welcomed.
4. No racial slurs (mud-blood is allowed of course) and no profuse swearing, mild swearing is allowed, they are teenagers after all. (Example of what isn't allowed: saying f*ck in every sentence explicitly.)
5. No self-harm, rape, child or animal abuse permitted.
6. No killing off other characters unless you both consent to a plot which involves a character's death.
7. No Mary-Sues, meaning your character cannot be shallow and flawless.
8. All posts are to be in third person past tense. (Ex: She brewed a sleeping draught.)
9. No one-line posts, a minimum of four sentences please.
10. A minimum of 10 canon characters to site admins and a limit of 5 canon characters to general members of the site. This includes any children (made up or not) of canon characters (including minor canon characters).

Okay those are the ten golden rules, quick and easy, now here's all the wonderful things that ARE allowed on this site.
- Here at Geminio we promote creativity and your personal freedom of expression as an individual writer. There isn't much that is not allowed here, think of this as your world too not just ours. Help us evolve it.
- The site rating is PG-13 (proboards rules not ours sorry) so no explicit sexual content but innuendos and snogging are allowed. (If you want to write sexual content feel free to make use of the PM function or use our sister site where we post all smut, PM any of Rotburn's characters for the link and password to the sister site.)
- You can make as many characters as your little heart desires so long as you can keep them all active. (Post at the bare minimum of at least once every two months)
IMPORTANT: If you would like to create a child or relative of a minor canon character please PM the admin first, same for if you wish to claim a canon character (so we can cross off the character on the Canon Character List.) No non-canon relatives or children can be added to the main canon characters. (Ex: Harry Potter cannot have a separated twin sister from birth, nor can he have a third son named Hagrid and lastly, no, Draco Malfoy does not marry anyone but Astoria Greengrass, sorry.) Also no relations to notable pureblood families, this includes the Houses of Black, Slytherin, Peverell, etc. Though purebloods in general are allowed, unless they are a canon character they just have to be an original character with no ties to canon pureblood families.
