Greetings, programs! How is everyone's November? Busy as heck, I'm sure. There are two updates.
The first update is: Don't panic. The Dream League Plot Ideas and Suggestions board (formally called Unpublished Comic Books) has not been deleted. It's just been moved to the FK + DL General category. It is now a sub-board in Plot Ideas and Suggestions. FK has its own sub-board, too.
It's obvious, but this merger followed Collin's example; be merged the two separate fan works boards to be neater, and less spaced-apart and cluttered. It might be jarring, but hopefully the change will be more convenient.
The second update, I'm afraid, is more direct. Without mentioning names or pointing anyone out (you know who you are, you cheeky devil, you! <3), people have been making out of character comments (OoC:) within role-play posts. Shame and heartache, but this is against the rules.
20.) Out of Character (OOC:) comments in role-play posts are prohibited. If you have an out of character question or comment, make them through private messages or an out of character category.
Like I said, this isn't meant to humiliate or guilt trip anyone. Just please keep in mind that such comments are prohibited in role-playing.
Thank you!
--Joe

If you mean me, I admit I did add quotes of other folks' characters dialogue.
But, you may recall, I asked if that was okay when I first joined, and received the rather non-committal reply that it was not forbidden.
So, I have occasionally tried it where I thought it would aid the clarity of a post.
I say again, if this is not okay, just tell me.
If, on the other hand, you didn't mean me at all, then never mind.

I didn't mean you, L. You did, in fact, ask that long ago, and we said it was okay. We're not that passive-aggressive. lol Edit: An example would be a roleplayer adding a comment to the beginning or anywhere in the post, like so.
(OOC: Guys, I'm really sorry! My toaster came to life and bit my hand for forty-five minutes. Anyway.) Dreamchild walked inside the Overlook and...
I confess, I believe I've been guilty of this at least once before, but now I find it necessary to remind everyone. That's all!

Okay, then. I totally know what you mean, 'cause we do it all the time on my other board.
I'm just really paranoid about doing the wrong thing.

I know I did it just recently. It's a surprisingly hard habit to break, and I admit to forgetting that it was frowned upon here.
