Items/Locations / LOCATIONS RULES
« on: September 11, 2005, 10:03:49 AM »
The SS has decided on the following rules for the I/L category:
1. No Alternate Universes
2. Real Places: Tokyo and Tokyo Tower would be NO, but Crystal Tokyo and Megatokyo would be all right as they are significantly different from the real-life place.
3. Past/Future: Locations in the past are not allowed, but locations in the future are.
4. Subdivisions of certain places. For example, if Crystal Tokyo had had a major place in BSSM I could approve both, but do NOT expect me to approve most buildings and rooms.
5. Companies/schools: a few people have applied for companies and schools (especially in Prince of Tennis). By applying for it in the I/L section, you are just applying for the building itself, not the people inside. If you'd like both, you MUST cross-list with Characters. (The Character staffers and I have been cross-listing the Prince of Tennis schools because I/L corresponds to school itself and Characters to the team.)
6. Items groups: If it can be broken down individually, no groups are approvable. This means that even though you see, for example, Usagi's henshin items, you are still not allowed to apply as that topic is being "grandfathered" into the category. (This basically means that like topics are exempt from the rules as the rules are sort of ex post facto)
If you have any questions or need further clarification, please post here. I am trying to work through the applications and will be done with them by Monday at the latest (crazy weekend at college, I'm afraid). It will be a full category update. :bounce:
