Hello everyone! I am the owner of the site, Wildheart.
I'm going to tell you what we expect out of every in character post that is put on here. We do have a standered. We don't have a word limit however, but we want posts to be full and filled with great details.
You can find more tips for RPing, and have questions answered about it by Sacrifice. Her office is located H.E.R.E
Role-playing is a very important part of this site. Let's call it the backbone of the site. It keeps it running and the excitment levels and drama of the posts keep the site active and fun.
Details, a very important part of the posts, are like the vertebrae. They supply the things that a reader wants, and they tell the story. They make the story not-boring, and put all the juicy stuff in it. They can be as simple as a few adjectives here and there, or they could be a long description about how your character is feeling.
Though there is no post limit, the longer the post, the better. You could start out with a simple paragraph of about five sentences, but then when you add extras, like details and 'fancy' words. Just because the post requires a short reply, doesn't mean you have to write a sentence and a half. Make sure your replies are full and use as many descriptions and details as you can make.
This is probably the part that bugs me most about some posts; spelling and grammar! There is a spell check button right at the bottom of the page! You barely even have to click during except to say 'ok' or 'ignore'. Grammar is very useful, and it looks ands sounds much better when you use proper grammar. Don't chat speak. This is a role-playing site. Not a chat room. Keep your lols all to yourself. Also, check for capitalization and proper punctuation marks. Make sure there are two spaces inbetween each period and the next sentence. Make sure each sentence starts with a capital and ends with a punctuation mark. Please check all your spelling and grammar before you click post! You're talking to a grammar nazi here!
