HOUSE RULES !
Hey there, tiger. We've only got a few simple rules here at Hit the Beat, so you should have not trouble keeping it real. Remember, cool cats are law-abiding cats-- and if they're not law-abiding, they're room-temperature. It means dead, you feel me?
LIKE A CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF--
R-E-S-P-E-C-T--
ABRACADABRA--
CALL ME WHEN YOU'RE SOBER--
This might be an informal forum with next to no bio form and zero requirements, but we still want to be able to read what you're writing and have some fun. Our plot isn't the be-all end-all, and you don't have to touch either the musicians or the Society with a barge pole. All we ask is that you treat the English language with care and respect, as it would do to you if it weren't repeatedly smashing its head into the wall for every misspelt word and ill-considered apostrophe on the internet. There there, English. There there.
Examples of wrong:
*facade wlkd in2 tha citee* he gys whats up! *she asked*
The ebonite felid sauntered cavalierly into the settee, her limpid banner sussurating 'top her serene frame. 'Pon the velvet ambulated path she pounced, 'fore greeting yon distant shapes. "Hark and well met, compatriots in night's subtle embrace," she whispered, her voice the smooth lilt of a grating tractor engine.
Of course, I know from writing such things that it can be hilarious to purple-prose like it's going out of fashion, but do keep it to the OC boards. And, of course, there's no problem with characters talking like they're from a bad Gothic romance, or even a good one, provided that their owner doesn't role-play like that. You don't need to impress us with fancy vocables: impress us with... I have an image that sums this up perfectly. (This found in Nightfall's signature on Forest of Fate.)
Quality over quantity, as they say.

LET'S HAVE SOME FUN, THIS BEAT IS SICK--
THE BABE WITH THE POWER --WHAT POWER?--
I'M THE (WO)MAN WHO CAN'T BE MOVED--
Stealing something on the internet and passing it off as your own might not seem like a crime, but it is and it sucks. (And we will hunt you down and show your sneak-thiefy thievingness to the world). As such, no plagiarism will be tolerated on the site, and if you're from another site and can prove one of our members has been thieving, of course we'll deal with them suitably.
All images on DARK are made by our staff or members and contain images that are used with the permission of their amazing photographers. The plot and all site information to date was written by FLYNN (aka Fallen) and she will cry if you steal things. Seriously. [/ul][/blockquote][/blockquote][/justify][/size]
