EPISODE RULES:

1. All characters must stay in character.
   
   
2. No cussing or blood. Keep it clean, guys.
   
   
3. No permanent changes to characters.
   
   
4. Only specific songs permitted.
   
   
5. Songs can't have a bad message in it or profanity.



6. Every episode must have a song somewhere, (e-mail me the song and lyrics to song along with).



7. Write your episodes in script format.



8. Keep the time of your episodes within the set limits. If it's just a minute off or not enough, I won't scold ya. (Hint: 1 page = 1 minute; please no continues) To get the correct time of the pages, use a 'Courier New' font at size '12.'



9. All episodes must have four acts plus a short teaser at the beginning.



10. No self-incertion (a quicky made-up character as a cameo guest star is permitted).
    
    
11. Each writter must submit at leased five episodes.



12. All locations must be on Mobius, nothing on Earth.



13. Don't make characters say or do stuff that's completely out of character. For Example:
    
    SONIC: I hate chili dogs! Bleck!
    MANIC: Stealing is so wrong, man.
    SONIA: *jumps in the mud and laughs* YES! I love DIRT!

SONG RULES:

1. You can choose any song you want for your episode as long as it follows these guidelines.



2. Pick age-appropriate songs.



3. No profanity. (although if 'hell' or 'damn' is used like once or twice, that's acceptable - just try to use 'heck' or something creative)



4. Songs can't be censored. All words must be said.



5. Songs must be in genre SU would play. (Mostly classic rock. No rap, no country, no teen pop, no hip-hop, and only very few heavy metal song's allowed.)



6. Try to avoid using songs with different instruments. Even though Sonia has a synthesizer that can play all instruments, try to avoid piano/keyboard music playing along with a different instrument. Sonia may be a good synthesizer player, but she can't play two instruments at once! (Although if there are guest characters on the episode who play instruments with that, acceptable. But I don't want to see something like that in every episode, give just the three a chance to play their own stuff.)



7. Don't switch instruments! I'm pretty sure they all can play different instruments, I just don't want to see it during song sequences. (If there's just one small scene of, say, Manic strumming a guitar for only a minute, acceptable.)



8. All songs must have SOME relation to the episode (even if it's one line, I'll accept it but it must be explained)



9. No religious or patriotic songs allowed.
