Roof Second Floor Lobby Back Door

House Rules Subtitled "Oh look, mommy, something fun to ignore!" On Leaving the House IC: First night is free, rent is 2 cents a night after that and includes one meal a day. Everyone must sign in every night. Rent is payable weekly, monthly, or nightly, to Mrs. Corcoran or Cats Smoking, drinking, and fighting are not permitted inside the house walls. (Then again, what Molly doesn't know won't hurt her) Smoking is only permitted on the roof or the fire escape away from windows Curfew is midnight. This means that by midnight everyone is in her/his own bunkroom and guests are either gone or signed in for a night Den and Molly's room are off-limits Don't play in the dumbwaiter Except under special circumstances, everyone is limited to five minutes in the bathroom at one time General rule: you spill it, you clean it up Stay the hell away from Iris OOC: Subtitled: The Ten Commandments of the Ravenswood Lodging House. Out of Character. I Thou shalt not be a jackass II Thou shalt keep thy stories to an R rating or lower, at thy leader's discretion II.V Thou shalt keep thy OOC conversation relatively clean. If someone beseecheth thee to lay off thy use of the f-word, by all means lay off thy use of the f-word. III If thy leaders ask/tell thee to do something, thou shalt do it without complaint. IV Thou shalt write, dammit. Thy leaders reserve the right to impose deadlines on stories as we deem them necessary. V Thou shalt respect each other VI Thou shalt respect thy leaders VII Thou shalt respect all thy Union officials VIII Thou shalt respect other people's characters IX If thy fellow lodger offendeth thee, thou shalt take it up personally, OOC, and off the list. We, thy leaders, don't want to deal wit stupid bickering. Thou art encouraged to solve thy problems in this manner, for we, thy leaders, have been known to get mighty testy when forced to deal with petty, immature people who can't solve their own problems. (If you're having that much trouble with someone we'll refer you both to the Union and let them deal with you.) Keep the drama IC. X Thou shalt honor thy commitments to House, Leaders, Officials, fellow writers, and own self. XI (Ok, so there are 11 Commandments) Thou shalt maintain a sense of why thou hast joined this writing circle in the first place, that being to do something thou lovest--writing. In addition: ...lately we've been having a huge minor problem with people confusing the focus of this particular writing circle, so let me clarify: we are not here to write sci-fi/fantasy set in turn-of-the-century New York, we are here to write historical fiction set in turn-of-the-century New York. Anyone believed by me to be acting otherwise will be smacked repeatedly with a gory fly swatter. ...check the Union Rules. Failure to follow any of the aforementioned Rules will result in you, the offender, being tarred, feathered, and unceremoniously booted from the house. And then the rest of us will party. Problems? Let us know.
