Hello, Lovelies of Writing Home.



─┉┈─┉┈─┉┈─┉┈◈◉◈┈┉┈┉┈┉┈┉┈┉

We're celebrating Easter 2024!
We've even got a new little trophy award for users who wish to join the fun!
We wanted to do something bigger, but due to IRL, we had to make it a simple holiday!

To receive this reward in your profile, comment 'Happy Easter' on this thread!

User Highlight
@PlagueDoctor
Plague has been with the site since before it's launch.
As one of the original founders, also known as the 'Monkey Circus', he's been a big part of creating the inner workings of Writing Home.
He and UndeadEyes are friends in real life, living in the same state, though only meeting in person after the site's creation.
He's a chill person with a green thumb and a love of rabbits.
He and his father are also known for throwing fun BBQs and baking some amazing pies!

Rule Reminder



All Characters Who are 18+ must LOOK and ACT 18+!

When creating characters for your roleplays, we want to remind our users to be mindful of the images they choose. Per our rules, characters must look at least 18 or older to be involved in erotic scenes. This is regardless of their actual age. To clarify, this means that even if your character is a thousand-year-old elf or vampire, if they look under eighteen, they are still considered under eighteen according to our rules.

Example of Character images we will not accept even if stated they are over 18+.

The reason characters like these are not allowed in EROTIC roleplays (they can be used in non-erotic roleplays) is because, to the average eye, the majority of people would not guess these characters to be over the age of eighteen. The best way to know if a character looks too young is to ask if real people would be able to guess their age bracket correctly. If not, then the character is likely too young looking for the erotic roleplay.

Now, this does not mean that we only accept characters who look like raging adults. Characters can still have a youthful appearance while also having enough adult traits that a large majority can assume they are at least eighteen or older.
These characters have a youthful look, but they also look to be late teens to early twenties. We understand our younger (us founders are old, okay?) Roleplayers may prefer characters with younger esthetics to match what they know in real life, but we need to ensure that images chosen can be seen as young adults, not older teens.

'Why is this rule so important?', you may ask. 'If we say they are adults, what does it matter?'

The reason it matters is because a small percentage of people will use these images as a means to skirt our No Pedophilia rules.
While the majority will only have innocent intent, simply liking an image and nothing more, there are some people who have darker intentions.
To keep the users and the site safe of those people, and to ensure less work for the staff, it's easier to require all to follow this guideline than for us to have to look through every roleplay to find out if a character image is being used appropriately or inappropriately.

Lastly, we'd like to alert everyone to the founder's upcoming surgery.
UndeadEyes, as many know, has been struggling with physical pain for the last year and it was recently discovered she has a deformity in her femur and a torn labrum. On April 2nd, she will be undergoing surgery to fix these issues, which will result in a change of life for the next month. This includes crutches, lots of medication, including pain medication and plenty of rest.
During this time, she may not be available to respond as quickly as she usually is.
Access to the Red Light District, which is done by her only, may take a bit longer than usual.

For users who have questions or need to make reports, we suggest going to our other moderators: @Wicked @Zverda @Cog for the first week post surgery.

We wish her a speedy recovery!
