RKMBs Forums .::Important::. Writer's Block The Hero Headquarters FAQs

• 1.) One character per writer in the main story. Period.
  
• 2.) Any character that is left "unattended" for more than a three (3) month period, and is not removed or secured in any manner, shall become the immediate "property" of the group, until such a time when the creator of said character returns to deal with his/her creation.
  
• 3.) Personal sub-stories are to be limited to Solo Threads. The Vanguard is a group story. A group idea. As such, delving into the personal history and solo sub-story of a character in the middle of a group tale is detrimental to the flow, pacing, and creativity of the writers you are working with. Create a solo thread. Create a million solo threads. Whatever. The main idea, here, is to clean up the amount of extraneous fluff added into a group story, that serves to enhance, focus, or force attention on the personal issues of a single character, or writer.
  
• 4.) Vanguard is about Vanguard. Yes, the EPS are interesting characters. Yes, The Order, the Asylum, the Hoods/Capes, Psi-Unit, and The Pantheon are ALL interesting characters. And, yes, they should be delved into and explored.......in solo threads. The use of them within the main story is not in question IF they have something to do with the main overall plotline of the story itself (as seen in #14). Whatever devious task Walker is scheming over, or, what the Scion's favorite color happens to be should, in all respects, be covered in solo threads. Even if it means ongoing solo threads. Whatever. The main purpose of this main story is to be about Vanguard. They are the spotlight. They are the stars.
  
• 5.) The use of the support staff in the main story is limited to the logical use of their intended purpose of creation (i.e. Huerta is a Psychiatrist, Grissom is communications/security, the B-Team are comedy relief, etc). If Charlie's the mechanic, then, let Charlie be the mechanic, and develop her personal life in a solo thread. If Miss X is so mysterious, and Nuriko so cool, then let's see more of that....in a solo thread. Vanguard is about the first-tier characters that we have individually chosen to write.
  
• 6.) Will everyone PLEASE stop using their sig-line in the story? This may not be an issue with the new boards, but man it always bothered me. Breaks the motion of the story....
  
• 7.) All characters created within the main story, as well as solo threads, are Copyright their creator. All rights to drastic/irreversible alterations (IE: killed off, crippled, sent into another dimension from which there is no return, etc.), or other permanent character-altering events are reserved for said creator, and may only be changed by written or verbal consent by him/her. **Amendment authored by: The Time Trust**

Groovy, baby. I've just put in the changes to the JLR list as suggested.

And I'm glad to include you JLR guys in the list -- the forum wouldn't be as great as it is without you.

4.) What is the JLR?
The JLR, or Justice League Reality, is the latest round robin team to come out of the
DCMBs. They are the second official group to join HHQ.
