Policy Discussion

[singularitymods.livejournal.com]

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).

To be fair, an OC like this would maybe come under scrutiny for plagiarism, but it'd highly depend on how many aspects of the game were just like Homestuck.

The idea of people playing a game like SBURB isn't something super unique to that fiction after all! .hack is another popular fandom that comes to mind, as another to use that concept. Jade's character trope isn't exactly super unique either. The point though with that, since this is an OC and not an AU there's less of a chance of causing a disruption with canonmates, if that makes sense?

Oh yeah it was a horrible example and I would probably tear my eyesockets out writing that application.

Okay, that makes sense! I was just wondering, and that's cleared things up a lot. Thanks.
