Wha...what is this? Where am I?
Good question! This is Sun and Shadows, a roleplay site based on the hit television series My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. And if you're not certain where you are, I really don't have any idea how you found your way here...
Ah, I see, I see. Well, this place looks simply delightful! How do I join?
Simple: make an account, read the 'important pages' linked to in the box, post an application for a character, then wait for a staff member to take a look at it. Depending on how well you've written it, you will either be asked to make some edits first, or just be approved right off the bat. Once you're approved (not before, mind you), you can jump right into the roleplay!
Uh-huh. But how should I make the application?
Just use the form provided; there's a link to it in the 'important pages' table on the left.
Can I be Fluttershy? Or--or Twilight Sparkle! Or--
YES, you can, just so long as nobody's already applied for them and been approved. Check the canon list; if their name is struck off, sorry, they're taken.
Aww...all the characters I wanted are taken. What can I do? I still want to RP!
Well, you can always make your own! We here at SaS always welcome a fresh, new face for Ponyville--just try to make them at least as rounded a character as the canon ones. Original should not mean 'flat Mary Sue.'
How does the roleplaying work here?
Well, anybody can start or join a thread with their approved character(s). You're free to make up your own mini-plots in and around Ponyville, so there's a fair amount of freedom in that. Unless otherwise specified, each thread will be considered open to whomever wants to join. There is also an over-arching sitewide plot, which will be the overall driving force for what happens in character. This will most likely involve the occasional big, epic, 20%-cooler-than-most plot thread that everyone should join into.
Okay--when is this set?
That's a tough one. In general, we follow the timeline of the show proper--anything that doesn't directly contradict what's been established in the site roleplay can be referenced. This may exclude any drastic changes that take place in the show (for example, if one of the CMC got a cutie mark, they wouldn't necessarily be forced to here). If this sort of thing happens, a staff member will likely state it outright. And if not, you can always ask!
I have another question! Also, a comment on something about the site! Where do I ask it?
Questions can be asked in threads in this board, through the cbox, or via a Private Message to a staff member. Comments can be placed in the same locations; you could post a comment on this very thread, if you wanted to, so long as it was about THIS thread.
