I {ACTIVITY} | Your character's presence must be available at least 3 days in a week. We understand there is a life outside these computers, but if you are going to audition to an RPG, you need to know  that also comes with full dedication to the group; meaning you must be available enough for us to know you are an active and loyal member. Failure to be active within a long inactivity time period will result in resignation from us. Also, you are not allowed to belong to other RPGs using the same account that is in this group. Your loyalty from within your desired character audition must belong to us, and to us only. 

II {STORYLINE}| ~Undecided name~  is currently a season three based group. Our storyline is a mixture of being a free plot at the moment that focuses on the battle of good vs evil between Enchanted Evil Queen, Magic Mirror, and Snow White who has joined forces to bring down the hero's and making sure evil wins by destroying the one person who activated the first curse in the first place; who is the Evil Queen and to control the dark one himself. 

What happens next is up to our writers. This group is also an alternate universe plot where characters who have died on the show are allowed to return to life like Graham, Neal ect or if you desire have it where that character never died. 

III {RELATIONSHIPS} | You are not allowed to date outside of this group,  you must keep it within the Once upon a time verse. We are also gay friendly, so if your character is gay/lesbian/bisexual, that will be permitted. Any canon roles will determine their own sexual orientation however they please because we simply do not know their real background story. Same goes for the originals. We also ask you all to not audition just so you can land yourself a specific character like Hook. We are not a matchmaking group so please keep that in mind when auditioning.  

IV {ORIGINALS} | We welcome all originals from within the Once upon a time verse! You know what it takes to be an original...creativity! So, please, do not take a background story from a real character, put a different name on it and claim it as your own work. We all love the characters, but two of the same exact personality/story will just get boring. If you wish to audition, you MUST use the ORIGINAL APPLICANTS ONLY audition form located just below the regular audition form in our homepage. If you do not use the original application form, your audition piece will not be considered because you failed to follow these simple rules. 

V {VERSE} | Crossovers are welcomed here but we are picky about what sort of other verses we allow to audition. For examples, Teen wolf, Vampire Diaries, Harry Potter characters are not allowed to audition as they would not have anything to do with Once upon a time. Game of Thrones, Reign, and verses are allowed to audition as long as that character has a creative back story that leads them to have a counterpart in Storybook. If you character's story does not make sense we can help you out but all you have to do is ask. 

VI {WRITING STYLE} | We are a literate group, but we are also friendly so we won't torment you if you make a written mistake here and there. UMC is strictly a Multi-Para/Novella role playing group, NO ONE-LINERS. Your audition piece shall require AT THE LEAST 3 paragraphs, no less and from then on you can write however much you want to (3+ paragraphs). Each paragraph must at least contain 6 sentences. Please use spell check and correct any grammatical errors before sending an audition, and be as neat on your writing as possible. Remember, you are trying to impress us. We are not going to become so harsh about this, but we will try to enforce literate writers on this group as much as we can. We do not consider us an elite group where you have to be perfect but we do want people who know how to write properly. 

VII {MULTIPLE MEMBERSHIP} |  Every member is allowed another role after their first acceptance into the group. However, you MUST get the approval of the owners first because we will determine if you are active enough to hold two accounts, responsibility  and dedication to the group and it's members. Activity is very important to us, so if you cannot keep up with one, let alone two accounts, do not think about claiming another. If you for any reason cannot be active with both accounts, you must choose to let go of one. 

Secondly if you are playing a main role (such as Emma, Snow White, Regina Mills), and you want to be another main character you must ask the owners first to get their approval and if that specific role is taken don't give up as we have a long list of characters, get creative. If you wish to claim a second role in this group, you must audition for it. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO COMPLETE THE ENTIRE FORM, but you must send us a starter piece with 3 paragraphs. Just a short one. We already should know you're a good writer, we just want to make sure you are going to be good at roleplaying that certain other character. 

VIII {EDITING} | Your profile must always look neat and organized. Refrain from stealing other people's work and making your font so small that makes it hard to read. If you aren't gifted with making layouts, we suggest you to take a look at our Affiliates for Resource sites that provide premade layouts.

IX {APPLICATION} | Every question in the application form must be neatly and completely answered. We don't want to receive audition forms that are hard to follow, so make sure to proofread before sending it in. Allow 3 or 4 days for a callback answer. We do not guarantee you a spot on the group even if you do know the owners as we are not playing favorites, unless told otherwise. You are allowed to audition more than once if not accepted. Once you audition for a character, that role will open and we shall give other people interested in that role a chance to audition as well. The opening of a role should only last for 3 days. My best advice is that you make your starter as interesting and new as possible, so that way you get a bigger chance of being accepted. We enjoy the most creative writers.

X  {Jealousy} We will not deal with jealousy in this RPG unless it is to do with IC story-lines please maintain it, keep under wraps, we don't need OOC jealousy.

XI { Mategamming} Not acceptable whatsoever, if we see it you will be removed from our group.  Drama & Harassment Is Not tolerated.

Everyone, good luck and have fun! :-)

When you are done reading these, along with your signature please tell us the role you plan on auditioning for along with "Everything comes at a price." 

Fail to add that with your signature will prove you did not read our rules correctly and we will ask you to do again.
