Should everything work out with my busy school schedule the first post should be complete, and the thread ready to go by tonight. For clarification, I'm in the Eastern Time Zone in the U.S., so at the time I'm posting it's 1:20PM so my "tonight" may not be the same as yours.
Some things to keep in mind that might have been overlooked in the original OOC post: we intend for this to be a fairly slow-paced role play. Really, no more than one, maximum two, posts per player per day. Plot progression will be heavily based on story development, and be very character driven. It's my hope that slowing things down will allow players more time to craft good posts, and fully explore their characters and achieve any personal character goals in the story. So, take your time with your posts and give us something good to read - we're anxious to get to know your characters. We'd prefer no posts shorter than a paragraph or so, and one liners...let's please not go there.
General guidelines still apply as well. Please keep all out of character comments confined to the OOC thread. I know coloured dialogue has become popular for character identification, but we're trying to steer away from that sort of thing. It can be distracting when your post looks like a bag of skittles. Heh. ^_^ If you'd prefer to use it, though, that's perfectly fine just keep in mind that some players might not.
As always, any general comments or questions can be left here in the OOC thread and will be addressed as quickly as possible. Thanks again for joining up, and I'm looking forward to writing with you all.
