Love, desire and sexual attraction weave stories of bliss when they're reciprocated, but what happens when they're not? What happens if you're too shy to walk up to the one you've been admiring from afar in fear that your dreams might be crushed, or exposing yourself will leave you open to ridicule? 1 - It must be to do with love, lust, desire, unrequited love, jealousy, etc. Something associated with the theme of tomorrow. Any comments left without the above conditions attached face possible deletion. Happy Valentine's Eve! 38 comments | post a comment

Welcome
Welcome to your second ever
Yes, it's Nickelback. We're horrified too.
The following have not updated for 28 days and must update within the next 72 hours to avoid journal death:
It's Love Month here at Love Bizarre, or at least Love Week with Valentines day sneaking up at the end of the week. A day of showing that romantic side to your partner, or giving a secret present to someone you've admired from afar but haven't mustered the courage to say anything.
Please welcome
Let's take this time to welcome a few new members to our community, and make them feel at home. Welcome Ken, Steph, Delirious, and Randy!
Please find below the list of taken characters in the game, and their AIM screen names.
Disclaimer Posting Disclaimers Every member must have the above statement in both their user info and an unlocked post in their journal. This goes without saying these days, as we all know wrestlers have started to take a real liking to this thing we call the interwebz, and there is a chance of these journals being found. If they are and we're asked to close them, we have to. But if you have the courtesy of stating as many times in plain view that you are not *said wrestling identity*, it's a sign of respect. Also, every user info must have a link to ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif){kind=small} lovebizarre and it's userinfo page or journal page. You belong to the community, be proud to show it!Copy/pasting If you have to have a bio in your critters user info, be creative and write it yourself. If you have to have a video, credit where you get it from with a link. Some hard work goes into these things, the least we can do is give some credit. It's the same for icons that are allowed to be yanked but ask for credit. Even if they don't, it's a nice gesture. Updating No matter what time limit you put the death list posting on, there's always a flooding just before it's posted. So here's the deal. Don't let your critter get beyond a month. 28 days. If you do, and one of the mods pick it up, a warning will be issued in the form of "update in the next 72 hours or you're out". If you get this warning three out of six months, the third strike means you're out. Clear as mud? In a nutshell, update at least once a month and you'll have no troubles? Good? Good. Updates that are just youtube videos or lyrics, or something of the like? Don't count unless there's something more to them. Feel free to post a video or lyrics through your post, but what we're looking for is your creativity. The update word limit is set at a minimum of 200 words. Please note, this does NOT mean you can't update with less than the 'word limit', it means you will be required one update a month that meets or exceeds 200 words. We welcome as many updates as you would like, if they're more than 140 characters then feel free to place them in your own journal, however, like youtube only videos, they will not 'count' to keep you off the death list. There has been a couple of hijacked updates recently in our little community. While we love that some members are smart enough to be journal hackers, when it comes down to it we want to hear an update from you. We want your thoughts and creativity. For that reason, an entry typed by anyone but the character themselves will stand as a seven day extension only. This also includes duplicate updates across communities. You are obviously allowed to write in as many communities as you wish, but in ours, we don't want to find out the exact same entry has been copied and pasted elsewhere. We're after your creativity for the character involved in our community. If you are caught doing this, you will be put on an automatic strike. If you happen to be one of these people who are kicked out on the three strike rule, and wish to reapply, you will be put on a six month probationary period. If you fail to update within the required 28 days for 6 consecutive months, you will be out of the community again. It's once a month, it's not that difficult. A critter will remain untouchable for 14 days after their journal death. The reason for this is that there could be a miscommunication, a misunderstanding, a personal life hiccup. We're people behind the scenes here too, and we try to make things as fair as possible, as well as sticking to the rules. Don't be found abusing our kindness. That won't be looked upon too fondly at all. Locked posts are a great way of communicating over time zones and different schedules, but don't count as a monthly update, and posts that are backdated and hidden? Count, but are frowned upon. We want communication through comments as well! It's a bit hard to do that if your posts are hidden away on your private page. We're doing something a little different with updates though. It's not every month you can find something to update about that doesn't become a little monotonous. So, we're presenting the fiction option. The fiction option basically means you can write a story about something that relates to said critter that month. This can be done as either as a one shot story not involving anyone else, or it can be done in locked post format where you can encourage someone else to come in and play off you. Please don't use characters without permission from their writers first. This is a serious offense, as when you start to force a story down someone else's critters throats? It's never going to end well. Communication I touched on this briefly above, but in our games we love comments as well as AIM/MSN/Yahoo conversations. Leave a comment to someone your critter might not normally talk to and see what kind of reaction you get. Sometimes the unexpected ones bring about the closest friendships. AIM is the most common use of instant messaging, and although it's not required, it is encouraged for you to get your critter a screen name and keep your list updated. Also, it's common courtesy to acknowledge the comments left in a journal entry. Unless there's a good storyline reason for a critter not to leave replies to comments, it is encouraged that they're at least recognized. This will be impossible to track as they could be replied to in an IM conversation. But it's a sad sight indeed to see comments constantly ignored by the same critter/writer. If you do this, and fail to sprinkle your own brand of communication around, you'll start to feel isolated from the group and fewer and fewer will even bother to read your journal entry. Give a little, take a little. Throughout the time, there will be activities to try to open communication floodgates. As much as we love to keep things in reality, it's not totally out of touch for one person from one organization to get in touch with one from another to compliment them on their work. Or in the case of drama, put it down. Not all characters are nice, friendly and happy. That brings us to in game drama. We love it. Bring on the lying and cheating, bring on the double crossing, the friends and the enemies. This happens in every day life, and makes our little make believe world a tad more interesting. But be polite. If someone doesn't show interest in participating in your shenanigans, don't pressure them. There's nothing more annoying than being scared to sign onto AIM in fear that you might get hassled by a certain writer/character to be involved in something you don't want to be. If that happens, by all means, let one of your mods know. Moderators Rather than having your typical two or three mods, LoveBizarre is going to be run more by you, the writers who make up the game. There will be up to five people at once who will have access to do death list warnings or maintenance around the place, keep everything up to date. ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} lovebizarremod will be a username managed by the committee members of LoveBizarre. It's hard to nominate a critter to be a "mod", as if they build a grudge in our drama filled society, it may seem strange for them to come across as diplomatic. All members will be in constant communication with each other regarding issues and applications.Application Like what you read so far? Found an available character that appeals to you? Awesome. Stay with us, you're nearly there. Firstly, set up your journal, your disclaimers, and friend lovebizarremod and lovebizarre so we can all browse through. Following that, there are two methods of being approved for application. While both might seem daunting, we're really a nice group dying to bring some great new people to our game. Celebrity with wrestling connections: If we receive an application by a celebrity that has legitimate connections to wrestling, the case will be taken to the current members of the community to decide. The discussion and final decision with be at the discretion of the community, and if there is argument to state why this character should not be allowed in to our wrestling based game, the application will be denied prior to audition. LoveBizarreMod on AIM or love.bizarre@hotmail.com on MSN are your avenues. If you're interested in applying and have everything set up, and you see one of those two signed onto the messenger programs, arrange your try-out! State your character, we'll pick one of our choice and we'll see how well you play off the style of the game. It might only be an hour long conversation, and you might decide LB isn't for you and move on. Or maybe one of our very friendly, very nice mods will decide for you. But get the tick of approval from one of us, and we'll welcome you with open arms. If you're on a ridiculous time zone or schedule and can't find us around, OR you simply don't like AIM or MSN that much.. a locked post with lovebizarremod will be your avenue, and one of us will get back to you regarding it. Remember, there are several of us, so you don't know which one you will get or which character they will choose to play off yours. It might not even by someone they write. But we will all be able to read these locked posts and all be able to give our opinion. It's no different to a job interview! .. only, if you get this job, you won't be paid or get annual leave or anything..Introduction Once you're accepted in, introduce yourself within 14 days off acceptance to our friendly community in lovebizarre! See who takes offense to you showing up and who's happy to see you here (or appears that way). After your introduction post, you have 14 days to post a follow up. There will be no warning for this post, if you can't get your second post (which can be a headache) out in two weeks, you're out. Simple as that.Knowing your subject Critter identities When you decide to write a character, please do some research. Know the basics. We know as time goes on, you're going to find more and more little details out, and how you work them into the game is your business. But before deciding who you want to write, please know their history. Know that Mickie James was Alexis Laree. Know that Rey Mysterio has children. Know that The Undertaker doesn't really live in Death Valley or the Dudleys from Dudleyville. It's all very funny to joke, but please know the basics so you're not caught like a deer in the headlights. Working Also, be aware of when your character would be on the road or on TV. It's fine to play with time, set something in the past or in the future. But just have it in the back of your head that a Raw character doesn't just work for two hours on a Monday night. They're on the road usually from Friday until Tuesday. History This game is branched from VainxGlorious on livejournal, which was branched from the original Better Than Gerwertz. There are some 4 year storylines that are brought into this game, and if you pick up a character that was involved in that history, please be aware that you may be required to work their story into your critter. You will be notified on application whether this character has a small amount of history. The big ones will be listed on the taken/wanted list. Please don't ignore the advice you're given on your critter just because you don't like it. It's taken us a long time to tell these stories, a bit of respect is required. Keeping secrets Storylines If your character is getting heavily involved in a secret storyline with someone elses and the idea is that it IS secret, please keep in that way. Some people spend months and months coming up with a good story to be a part of writing, you don't want to be the one who ruins that for them. Of course, these stories with different characters can mean things can go wrong, but please don't go out of your way to deliberately sabotage them. Characters The character limit for this game is set at six. Six is plenty for one person to keep up with. It's hard work to keep them all different with their own individual personalities, and we believe six is the right number to keep someone busy. Please, please, please don't pick up six just because you can. Think about your characters before you pick up another one. Make sure they're not all updating back to back to back, and not all leaving their comments un-replied-to. We want plenty of characters, but more importantly, we want the characters that are there to be active and count. We want every character to mean something and not just be making up the numbers. Anonymity If you know who writes what characters, please don't tell anyone else. Part of the fun of role playing used to be that you DIDN'T know who was behind these characters. All good writers have a familiar style, but if they don't want to be found out, don't ruin the fun for them or anyone else. This is a serious offense. Just don't do it. Application Not scared off yet? Good! You shouldn't be! If you're ready to apply, click here and comment with the following: Journal Name: Real Name: AIM Screen Name: Method of tryout (locked post/AIM): Someone will get back to you within a week of your comment. Until then, hold tight. We all do have lives outside of this bizarre little world, but we won't leave you hanging for too long! Happy gaming! 30 comments | post a comment |
