The White Room

No community will survive without rules, policies, and guidelines. Especially in a creative space, I want everyone to hold to these rules and maintain the right standards for safety in this community. This list will be updated as needed. This is your community! Participate, read, share, get to know, and help build up your fellows. This is how we all grow as storytellers and artists. There will be no stories where child-exploitation, rape, human enslavement or trafficking, excessive violence, or any other highly traumatic experiences are highlighted or glorified without proper comment and context. Do not subject your community to this. All collaborative stories are written collaboratively and with proper consent to all contributing writers. Don't write another person's character doing something you need them to do without asking permission from that writer. Please keep your fan-fiction in the correct forum . Tharivos is the realm for your original character in an original story that you wrote, not your Supernatural fan-fic. ERP: This forum is absolutely not the place for your ERP or erotic fiction. If you've built a career of writing erotic fiction, you can drop a link to your work on the Book Shelf , but please do not write erotic fiction here.

Hi Friends! Thank you so much for joining what I hope will be the beginning of a fun community of storytellers, artists, gamers, and generally good folks who want to spend time with each other on the regular. The White Room is open to you! General Chat is for having conversation, sharing your favorite things, and really getting to know each other personally. As the community grows, I hope to expand the categories there to help keep everything cleaned up and convenient to find. The Realm of Tharivos is the real prize here (I think!) Years ago, I was a member of an online RP-storytelling forum. That forum was my first real experience with an online community, and helped to shape my storytelling abilities. I want to create a space for others to have that, too. What Tharivos is, is a place for storytellers and creators to adopt the role of a character they've created and tell a story from that character's perspective. The world is already made for you, but you get to tell how your character gets to explore and experience it. What Tharivos is not, is a place to give or receive feedback on someone else's or your writing. Everything said in Tharivos is In-Character, and two (or more) writers coming together should be a meeting of your characters and the adventures you tell with each other. The secret sauce here is hospitality and consent. Since this is a Role Play forum, please respect each other's boundaries, and the rules of the White Room. Be good to each other (even if you're writing an evil character).
