Welcome to the obikin community, one and all. I hope to see many of you in coming posts and I hope to see you participating in fandom as it once was! Go nuts, show nuts, be respectful, and don't feed the trolls, eh? The bygone era of the internet has come to reign once more, and I for one applaud it.
Anyway! The aforementioned nuts can totally be displayed here, as long as its appropriately tagged. Most anything can be posted here as long as you tag appropriately and warn folks. I understand that tags may spoil and warnings may ward off, but that is what they are for. If someone wants to find your post, they will! If someone does not want to see your post, because say it includes some kink they don't like, don't make them see it still by not tagging for it. If someone in good faith asks you to tag something, do so.
Onward: THE RULES
Behavior
● Be respectful of others. Bullying, harassment, negativity or vagueposting towards other members will not be tolerated and is a bannable offense. Be polite or ignore the conversion.
● No -isms or -phobias. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, biphobia, fatphobia, etc.
● Do not spam. Please use the '@' symbol in moderation and when relevant.
● Any art posted must be properly sourced.
● No Unsolicited Concrit - If you would like constructive criticism or feedback on art, fic or other fanworks, please say so. Outside of this, there should be no unsolicited criticism on posted snippets or linked fics posted to Ao3, tumblr, or other platforms.
● Please refrain from serious debate around religious topics. Discussion of religious themes / overtones in relation to Star Wars media is fine
● Do not derail conversations - wait until an appropriate lull in a channels chat before changing topics, or find another relevant channel if there’s something else you want to discuss. Please feel free to create threads!
● This server is a supportive environment for ships / concepts / dynamics. It’s alright to have preferences, to not enjoy certain pairings or ships. However, unless asked for concrit, do not interject a conversation to argue that you do not like a ship, headcanon, trope, kink prompt or idea. If you don’t like it, ignore it and come back to the channel later.
● In the interest of maintaining a friendly and creative environment, there is to be no exclusivity claimed or inferred for any trope, concept or plot point pertaining to fanfic. In the same interest, we encourage users as a courtesy to either reach out to, or offer to provide credit for stories whose concepts may have originated from / or significantly helped along by someone else when adapting into fully-fledged fic. As an 18+ community, we trust everyone to individually manage and facilitate these interactions maturely at their own discretion.
If any of these are considered to be repeatedly overstepped, this will result in a warning or - potentially - kicks and/or banning from the community
The idea behind a friending meme is that you read short descriptions of people's interests, find people you think you would connect with well, and subscribe to their Dreamwidths. It's a great way to meet new folks.
