Ok. I'll try to cover everything I can, but keep in mind that I might forget something, since these are mostly just unwritten rules I follow unconsciously.

1 - Ask permission for characters you don't own before doing anything else.

2 - Curse words, high levels of violence and anything that wouldn't be allowed in a PG reating movie are out of the question.

3 - My characters have a sort of power hierarchy. This basically means that there's an order to how powerful they are, and therefore, to which characters they can beat in battle. At least with Pea, I always try to ensure that this balance is respected, which means that not even plot armor should allow a weaker character to defeat a moer powerful one.

4 - There's no rule as to which characters I get interested in and which ones I don't. However, one thing is clear: I don't mind doing a story about a character I'm not so interested in if the story itself is good or my roster plays an important part in the story. However, the more such story gets discussed, the more I begin to lose interest.

5 - Action is great in stories, but sometimes what I get most interested in is seeing how characters might interact with each other, bonus points if there's any shipping involved. This isn't a rule in any way, but it sure is a way to get me more interested in a story.

6 - Beware of powerful characters. I'm not saying powerful characters are not allowed. You can perfectly have powerful characters that pose a threat to the heroes. What I mean here is that I usually lose a bit of interest in the story if a certain character seems too powerful for its own good. Just ask Pea about this. Whenever I see a character that's being more powerful than it's reasonable, I usually let him know about it.

7 - Avoid giving me reminders that say stuff like "I've been waiting this long, are you going to resond?" or simply asking if I'm present more than once in a row. Here's how it works: If I'm here, I'll answer. If I'm not, I won't answer. That's as simple as it gets. So in case you've asked if I'm present, and I don't respond in a while, I'm most likely inactive at that moment, and therefore, a second post won't help at all. Remember, I'll answer as soon as I'm back, so that's your signal that I'm back.

I think that's pretty much it. I hope I covered all of the most important stuff.
