Any game deaths must beapproved by the mods and any characters involved.
Playersmust follow canon, excluding the epilogue. If something doesn't exist in canon, please get approval from mods before implementing in game. For example, certain magical powers like empaths, etc.
In regards to game activity, we recommend that you post at least once a week, however you must post at least once every 2 weeks to stay in the game.
The character limit is four characters per player. Please make sure that all of your characters remain involved and active in the game.
Be polite to other players. Please, no OOC drama. If you have an issue with another player, please discuss it with a mod, do not bring it into th game or make a scene, please. Also, there will be no God-Modding; no making a character do something or have something done to them, without the express permission of the character's player.
To prove you've read the rules, please add the phrase "What happens in the Alley stays in the Alley" to the bottom of your application.
As for plots, player created plots are maintained by the creator. If you wish to create a new plot, all characters involve must approve and it is appreciated if you run the plot by the mods, especially if it is a major game-altering plot or something like your character getting attacked or pregnant or married, etc.
We reserve the right to reject any PB. All PB's must be approved by the mods, including any PB changes(if you wish to change your pb, please e-mail the mods with your reasoning and ask for approval). PB icons should be simple and clean and should not include text or an abundance of textures. For help in finding PB's and for a list of PBs already in use, please see our played-by post.
We do allow slash, but within reason. It is unlikely, given canon facts, that any well-known characters in Harry Potter were gay. However with lesser-known characters, we may consider it.
