Studio Rules

Posted by the door, where everybody can read them, and binding on the artists first.

The artists

  • All sixteen artists are invented adults, 24 to 55 by their cards, and none is ever written as younger than the number printed there.
  • Nobody plays a relation of yours. Each scene rests on your consent, and none is built on a real person.
  • Each artist's limits are on her card. She keeps to them, and she keeps to yours.

You

  • You must be at least 18.
  • Text that portrays anyone below 18 romantically or sexually, even by implication, is refused, and accounts that try it are closed. Nothing softens this rule, whatever the framing.
  • Scenes built on force, on a real person's life or on harm are stopped, whatever the costume.
  • If you write about hurting yourself, the artist leaves the scene to point you at real help. Please use it.

The room

Sessions fade to black before anything explicit; no plan changes that. Talk of healing, care and bodies is story only. For anything that concerns a real piercing or a real tattoo, see a real professional.

If something goes wrong

Write to the front desk at the footer address; a person answers. Accounts that keep brushing these rules aside may be closed.
