1. be kind. as a character creator, you do have say in your own character events, however other players can also comment their thoughts. these thoughts may contradict. do NOT attack or argue with other players or with the creator. all thoughts are valid and will be taken into review for characters, as additional input is valuable in creating well-rounded characters.

2. any problematic or offensive comments, messages, details, etc. will be removed, and if I deem it excessive, your character (if accepted) may be killed without reason or warning. further offensive actions will be banned from all interactions, blacklisted from future stories, and blocked in extreme cases.

3. additionally, to keep your character as part of the crew, you must be active within the comments, and vote on chapters. there will be player involved questions and activities within the chapters, that must be answered by the character creator, but can additionally be answered by other players. the way the outcome will be determined is by the comments voting on character progressions. creator votes will be worth more than player votes, but player votes can sometimes outweigh the creator. in the event that this happens, I will then choose which option I see best fitting the character and the story progression.

4. to know that you have read the rules, the password your current favourite book/tv show/movie, along with any fruit emoji, or an emoticon heart if you are unable to use emojis

5. creators, players, and readers are strongly encouraged to comment any thoughts or ideas they have, as if they were too playing the game. each of us have different paths we'd take, and as the author, I may not think of a particular option or path, so I value any ideas that you all have. feel free to comment at any point in the story, and I will take as much as I can into consideration when writing.

6. that being said, as the author, I will have final say, and if something happens that isn't what you wanted, tough cookies. there's no death rewind here.

7. almost all game relationships have essentially been wiped, meaning your character can be friends with or in a relationship with almost anyone, whether canon character or created character, with the exception of max and laura. you can express preference for character pairings, but as I'm sure there could be some overlap, I will have final say on any pairings that conflict. relationships will be determined in predevelopment after final castings are announced, not in the auditions process.

8. some canon-characters may even be wiped completely in the event that; an auditioning character is similar enough and can replace a canon character, or a canon character would take too much space and I deem them unnecessary for the progression of the story. in that case, their role will be passed onto a different character, be them canon or non.

9. fright night first takes place a month before the events of The Quarry, before then continuing to run alongside the game timeline. keep this in mind when auditioning your character, and post any spoilers in the replies of a spoiler warning comment, as I already know of some participants who haven't yet played the game.
