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).

Agreed. I'm not giving examples, but I've seen at least one AU rejected here that would qualify as "I just wouldn't feel comfortable being in a game with if I were in that cast." That kind of comfort thing shouldn't be ignored. It's one thing if it's a canon character. Not wanting a particular canon character because it'll cause you problems is dumb. You apped into the canon. You accept the whole canon. Not just what you like. But not wanting an AU for reasons like it making you uncomfortable to deal with how extreme it is is a different story completely.

I track the app page and look at it out of curiosity frequently. You see a lot that way.
