Policy Discussion

Some of Singularity's players have questions about the game policies on AU character applications. This post has been put up to allow players to approach the staff to ask questions, offer suggestions, and voice concerns regarding those policies. The moderators are also available via IM/PM [contact information] if any player does not feel comfortable discussing their concerns in public.

As of the end of this application round (August 15th), AU applications will be closed until this matter can be resolved. This ban on AU apps does not apply to the exceptions listed in the AU policies (malleable protagonists and canon AUs).

yeah p much this

all of these teal deers

I WOULD SAY THOUGH re: even Link running off with Ganon. If he just DID IT randomly with no explanation, that'd be a bad AU. But if something horrible happened to him, and Ganon made a truly compelling argument in Link's darkest hour, etc, so forth and so on, where we have an in-story reason for this change, and can still see a logical progression from Link-as-hero to Link-as-fallen-hero, THEN we have a viable AU

It's a matter of detail, of thinking about how you're crafting your setting.
