We break canon after Rubber Man.
Taken Characters
Request a Character
OOC Comm - all players must join
While the game is primarily set in the American Horror Story 'verse, crossovers are allowed with Moderator approval. We currently have characters from Hellboy, Heroes and Angel in the game. So if you think you can make a character fit, please let us know.If you think you have a character that would work, please submit an application.
No Harry Potter or Twilight characters PERIOD.
There will be NO posts or RP threads involving Rape/Sexual Assault/Child Molestation PERIOD.
THE RULES
1 – Each character must have their own LJ.
2 – Only one each character will be allowed in the game. If you do not keep your character active, someone else can take your spot.
3 – Active = replying twice a month to a active thread. If you're playing a core character - like Ben, Tate or Violet - Once a week would be better to keep the game going. We hold a roll call quarterly. If you do not respond to it, you will be removed from the game.
4 – Character Limit – you can play up to three(3) characters in the game. They must all be kept Active.
5 – Fanfic – feel free to post fanfic on the comm, but only if you want the fic to become part of your character’s canon.
6 – Setting – Game play will take place in the Murder House during various time periods in the house's history as well as in other haunted places in and around Los Angeles, CA.
7 – Cuts and Warnings – put all long posts under an LJ cut. All posts containing adult content or the potential for adult content must be labeled and under a cut.
8 – Tags – each character will be given a tag. Other tags include: open thread, adult content, violent content, completed thread…
9 – OOC Comm – You must post your bio to the OOC comm once it has been approved and tag the entry with your personal tag.
10 – Starting a thread – You need to post a note on the OOC, letting people know what the thread is about. If someone wants to join your IC thread, they will ask permission on the OOC post.
11 - GHOSTS - Ghosts can pop into any thread they like. They do not have to ask permission or be tagged to join in. It is up to the ghost whether the other people in the thread see or hear them... List whether the comment is visible in the subject line.
How We Play – These samples are from an existing game, and will be replaced with Murder House links once the game is in play.
1 – The OOC Comm: Each IC post on LJ Comm has a post on the OOC where other players may comment or ask questions.

Sample Bio
2 – Tags: You must tag all your entries with your character tag plus at least one of the following:
(active), (adult content), (violent), (fanfic), (finished), (flashback)
Nothing pisses off the mods more than to have to clean up Tags on your entries. Once in awhile is normal, but we do not want to do it constantly.
3 – NPCs: Major NPCs are in the control of the Mods. Major NPCs are characters that are not in play, powerful people in Los Angeles… You may include minor NPCs in your posts.
4 – Fanfic: Please feel free to write solo stories for your character. If you post them no the IC comm they become canon for your character.
5 – Meta and silliness: Feel free to post fun stuff on the OOC. You may also pimp other communities there, and post non-canon changing fic there.
