Through
personal debate as well as some input
from forum members, I have decided that
The Squall Online Experiment will from
this point on be a Guest Participation
section. This will not be like any sort
of online community, so there will not
be posting requirements nor will there
be character sign-ups. There will however
be rules.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: We will not be
taking any more submissions. The Squall
Online Experiment has officially ended.
Hope you enjoyed all the good times! |
Rules For Submission:
1. Send an e-mail (through the link on the left) with
the following information:
--The Subject of the e-mail you send me must be "SOE
E-mail" or something very close to this, otherwise
I may discard it thinking it's spam.
--The Subject of the fictional e-mail. This should be
somehow worked into the body. If you do not provide a
subject I will make one up for you.
--The e-mail itself with brackets around it to filter
out any additional comments from the actual e-mail itself.
For example:
"Hey man, heres an e-mail from Zell I luv him lol
hes so funny and the subject is "I broke my leg"
[Dear Squall etc.] btw keep up the site dude!!1"
This will help me filter out what is Zell's e-mail versus
your own. Oh, and if you guys write me with spelling/grammar/abbreviations
like in my example then I may be forced to kill you.
English please.
--The name you'd like me to credit you with. I will give
credit to everybody that submits an e-mail, but if you
don't provide me with one explicitly, I will NOT guess
what name to put. Even if your e-mail tells me your full
name just by the automatic name filled in by the sender,
I will not put it. I don't want to put any names on my
site without your direct permission. If you do not give
me a name, I will label you as 'Guest.'
2. Watch your @!%^ing language..
I allow certain language on my site, but if you haven't
read any of my other stuff, I aim for PG-13. For an idea
of what I allow you can read through my other works or
just ask on the forum.
3. Locked Characters
Locked characters are reserved for writers that are
dedicated to the series. Either avoid mentioning locked
characters (not recommended) or read the following rules
regarding locked characters.
*3.1. Check the forum for character locks.
There is a post on the forum to lock a character. This
means that if you submit an e-mail as a character that
you really like, you may request a character lock on
the forum. Simply make a post and ask if you may or may
not lock a character. I will read the request and decide
based on your previous posts if you are allowed to lock
the character. If I approve it, your character will be
locked indefinitely until either you choose to unlock
the character or until I decide you haven't been making
posts enough and somebody else would like the character.
*3.2. Do not mess with locked characters.
I know that people will talk about other people in their
e-mails, but if a character is locked, then that probably
means somebody has plans for them, so don't mess with
their character. Basically you can still mention their
character and please, read through their e-mails and
talk about things they've already talked about (from
a new point of view of course), but don't move them or
discuss what they've done in too much detail without
contacting the owner of the character lock. This means
you shouldn't say something like "Irvine started
cussing at the waitress and they kicked him out of Winhill
and now he's going to live at Trabia" if Irvine
is locked. Respect other peoples' characters or the e-mail
will not be posted.
4. Only use important (named) characters.
There have been unnamed characters previously used, but
I have decided to eliminate this. Previously used characters
will be allowed by the Grandfather clause, but no more
in the future. Sorry.
5. Only 3 e-mails per update.
It's exactly what it sounds like. You can only send
in three different e-mails until I update the site. Also,
of those three, only one per character is allowed. No
writing an e-mail, then a follow-up to the same one.
Just put it all in one e-mail. We're pretending the e-mailers
review their e-mails and don't forget things. It takes
a bit of effort and time that I don't have to post up
SOEs, so make sure they include everything you want them
to say.
6. Don't be intimidated by a long list of rules.
I know it sounds strict, but please send the e-mails.
I love seeing people participating in the site. It really
does make my day. This is for FUN ONLY! I check my e-mail
often and will most likely accept anything sent to me,
so start sending e-mails in! The more e-mails I get,
the more compelled I'll be to update my site. I'll try
to post up SOE things as often as possible, and it just
might motivate me to update other things at the same
time.
Disclaimer:
There have been many e-mails made up for this series. If
you or somebody you know actually has one of these
accounts for some odd reason and you'd like it removed,
please e-mail me and I'll remove it immediately. I tried
to make these accounts as obscure and oddly specific
as possible to avoid existing accounts, but on the chance
that somebody does have these e-mails, please tell me.
Note: It must be exactly the same, down to the .net.
I just want to ensure that people aren't getting spammed
because of my site. |
