? plot [08 Jan 2008|01:39am]

“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?”

-Alice in Wonderland



When Alice Liddell or Wendy Darling came home to their parents, neither had known quite what to say to them to explain their days of absence. The children who spent their time in worlds of fantasy with the fairies, talking cats, or wolves that follow you on your way to Grandmother's house were always considered a bit off. After their initial disappearances, they spent their lives paranoid of what could fly through the windows, come out of the wardrobe in the empty room, or appear in a flash of red light, donning a pair of mock ruby slippers and wicked green smile.

They became, as many people told their parents, completely mad.

So what was a caring father or mother to do when a man came to them, spilling of a place where they wouldn't have to pay for their children to be cared for, where the government would fund them while still giving the top of the line treatment, care, and education? All the tiny girls and boys who babbled about places like "Oz," or "Wonderland," or the ever popular "Neverland" were worried for, and eventually, shipped off to the asylum, where their parents could only hope that their prayers for a normal son or daughter would finally be answered.

? rules & faq [08 Jan 2008|01:37am]

The Rules.



oo1; The Basics. As in every community, we ask that you follow the same simple rules. Do not mix OOC/IC, do not God Mod, do not make Mary Sues, do not make your usernames something like [info]lilredbabee02 or [info]wonderssxxxland and make it have something to do with your character, something like [info]aliddell or [info]littlexred.

oo2; Activity. You must update your character journal or participate in an active thread every 2 weeks. You can of course do so more often, but that's the bare minimum. Each entry should consist of at least two well-developed paragraphs. We understand that not all characters are the type who would use their journals, so the other option is threading. If you choose to use a thread as your update requirement, your responses to the thread must be equal to the amount of work you would put into an entry. This means no one-sentence replies will be accepted. As mods, we completely understand that RL comes up and sometimes activity requirement can not be met. If this happens, please just let us know! We will be more than happy to work with you if that's what you need.

oo3; Hiatuses. Hiatuses can be either announced in the OOC community, [info]wondersland, or you can PM or IM the mods directly. We tend to be very understanding about hiatuses (Hey, we've all had to take them!), though if we don't hear from you for a month, you'll probably be on the next activity check and then dropped. If that happens, and you come back and want to play, just contact the mods; generally, we can add you back without a new app, just talk to us!

oo4; Character Complexities. Dealing with your characters; as they are based off of actual fantasy characters, we ask that when you are applying you give them the name that they are dubbed with in their fairy tale/fantasy book. If they are not listed, then this rule is by means wavered. We do, however, ask that their chosen name has something to do with their character. For example; in Alice in Wonderland the main character is Alice Liddell. The person applying for Alice would have to keep this name. If someone decided to apply for the Knave of Hearts, however, they would be able to give him a name of their choosing as long as it was related--something like "Jack Heart" would fit quite nicely. The exception to this will be for foreign names - for example, if you wanted to play Uzumaki Naruto, you could make his name "Nathan Usher" if you didn't want to make them from Japan. We also ask that you keep your characters realistic, as well as the situations that they will encounter within the game. There is room for all manner of shenanigans in the game, but they are in a hospital.

oo5; Miscellany. Last but not least; have fun, bitches! There is an almost endless well of creativity to draw characters from, and any number of crazy situations and interactions to shove them in to. The point is to play, to experiment, and to have a good time. That's what makes it work!

As a warning; this community will have mature themes; death, violence, incest, rape, cursing. Threads will be cut and marked appropriately, but if these things will bother you, Cheshire might not be the best choice.

Feel free to contact the mods with any questions; Elizabeth can be found on AIM at YouJustSayBingo, Bri can be reached at girly deadpool.

? application [08 Jan 2008|01:30am]
  • Be sure you've read the rules and FAQ.

  • Please be sure to check the taken and held list, as well as the wanted list, before applying. While a hold does not mean that the person will automatically get the part, you will be forced to wait until said person hands in their application. If you see a hold, and you are not answered right away, this is why. Please be patient, we have to be fair. If you apply for someone already on the taken list, don't be surprised when we say we didn't bother to read your application.

  • Make sure you've requested access to all the communities. They are as follows:

    [info]ccrpg - The main community. This is where your character will make their introduction. Please have it written up and posted with in three days of being accepted, or we will remove you. Also, notes passes back and forth between patients, doctor's emails, and anything left on the bulletin board will be posted here.

    [info]spindlesend - The thread and log community. Self-explanatory really, but for those of you who may not know what these terms mean, this is where all role plays will go. Threads must be marked in someway (we suggest putting the name [LIKE SO] in the subject line) to show whom they are directed to. Logs must have a rating and summary and placed behind an lj-cut. If you do not know how to do one, you may learn so here.

    [info]wondersland - The out of character community. Basically anything that you want to post that has nothing to do with your character goes in here. This is where all announcements of adds will be placed, as well as removals. Please try not to spam it.

    [info]preeverafter - The history community. Want to write about what your character was like before they came here? Or did they know someone who was already in the community and you want to write you the relationship they had before being thrown into Cheshire Crossings? All those sorts of logs and threads are placed here.

  • Be sure you have the mod's journal friended if you are supplying a first person example in your journal instead of a compilation one. Also have at least ONE ICON uploaded.

  • Your first person example MUST be for the character you are applying with. We can not accept other characters or examples written for other games. We need to know your character's voice, specific to Cheshire.

  • A note regarding staff: Any and all staff of Cheshire Crossings will be subjected to an extensive and all-inclusive background and drug check. If your staff member has any legal record of misbehavior, they will be handled on a case-by-case basis but more than likely they will not be accepted. (If, however, they misbehaved and never got caught...well, that's another story altogether.) If you are apping a doctor, please be prepared to do some research regarding the methods that your doctor uses and the disorders that they specialize in. Sessions and techniques should not be unrealistic.
