REGARDING IN-CHARACTER INTRODUCTIONS
This doesn't exactly count as a carrying-on plotline, so much as it is a chance to introduce your character
to the rest of the pack, the Alpha and Beta, as well as situate yourself with others writing styles and their
personalities. We understand that breaking the ice is difficult, but I assure you that we are a friendly and
accepting pack of all creeds, orientations, and creativity/writing skills. We do urge you to make yourself
known within our small community, be it online and in-game, or through the discord app. We have an in-
character roleplay channel that is open for any and all, but may also be reserved for certain plots and those
who find themselves truly unavailable to come in-game (as well as understanding the drag of having a very
small character limit for the in-game chat box).
Is it optional? Why not! You're allowed to jump in wherever you need to or feel like being.
Discord has a 2000 character limit, which is still enough to write several paragraphs together and post them.
We don't ask for novella or purple-prose (please avoid the latter as descriptors don't move a plot), only that you
remain literate and check your spelling, grammar, capitalization, etc. We don't ask for much more in the way of
literacy within the group but hope that you consider you may be writing a lot when it comes to becoming one of
the dedicated members and characters.

! ! ! ALSO ! ! ! For those wondering about any plots to be made, I assume we are open to ideas & suggestions?
Since mating season is underway, I'm sure many of you will be branching off and finding your mates and situating
yourselves with the idea of having pups. (I'm also not sure whether or not graphic nsfw content will be roleplayed,
but if it is, make sure it is private, skipped over, or implied, and consider the age of your opposite writing partner.
REGARDING NSFW CONTENT & LEGALITY W/ WRITING
REGARDING NSFW CONTENT & LEGALITY W/ WRITING
I say this because there can be some legal issues behind roleplaying nsfw content with a minor, as is... commonly
discussed within roleplay forums and groups. While it is not technically "illegal" to do so in the stress of the word
"legal" — we have to take a few things into consideration:
1. A minor can be caught by their parents. And this extends to what content they may be writing, and since it may
be sexual content, it's advised that it is entirely skipped or implied that these characters/wolves have mated and
the story may carry on from there. Other heinous acts such as rape fall under this category.
2. The legality regarding nsfw content & roleplaying the content with a minor is blurred between the lines of what
"simulated porn" and "engaging in sexual acts with a minor" may tread. This may and can extend from the above
examples and the fact that may be caught by their parents, be them on a shared computer or simply... it happens.

So what do I do?
If you are over the age of 18 (and I say 18 as a rough, generalized age of consent in most states), please consider
asking your writing partner for their age before anything NSFW continues. If they are legal and you wish to write
certain content, you are absolutely free to. No matter your age, if you are uncomfortable with the content and, hey,
because it's animals and maybe you're not comfortable about writing that kind of smut, you are still absolutely free
to ask your writing partner to skip over it completely. It's alright to refuse and say no.
If you are on the other side of this and the minor being asked to skip over certain content, do not tell the other it's
okay to write it with them, make excuses, or claim you are "mature" enough to write this sort of thing. It is not about
maturity anymore, especially when it comes to legality. There are a lot of troubling things happening around the world
and on the internet and, unfortunately, I have seen a lot of terrible things and helps with raids on those who dare to
take advantage of minors. You have to understand why adults or someone older than you may be uncomfortable with
writing certain content with someone your age. Do not throw a fit, do not get angry at them. If your attitude is reported
it will result in a personal warning from your fellow admin, me.
! ! FURTHER WARNING ! !
However, if you are a minor and your writing partner is above the legal age and still wishes to write with you, that may
be out of our control, but it is not out of your own. You are absolutely able to refuse and skip over it. If anyone tries to
coerce or threaten you (no matter your age or theirs) into writing content you are not comfortable with/about, please
contact me immediately. This will result in a brief investigation to the matter & possibly warnings/suspension/banning.
We only ask you to include screenshots as proof.
This is your only warning to all of these matters.
