Welcome!

[meganehaven]

Here in The Realm of OCs, we welcome members to share creations of their original characters — be it art, writing, physical crafts, etc — and to post general discussion, lore, and rambling.

Be sure to check out other's works, and have fun! Anyone is welcome to join.

That being said, here's a few rules to start out:

• Be kind to one another! Please resolve any conflict in private, or contact a mod for help.
• Don't post and run, be sure to interact and comment on other's posts. (This is not strictly enforced, but remember this is a community, not a personal journal.)
• OCxCanon is allowed.
• 18+ content should be age restricted per Dreamwidth's guidelines.
• Tag posts by type (ex. art, writing, music, crochet, rambling, etc).
• Tags can also be descriptive (ex. elf, sci-fi, doctor, etc.), add new ones as needed. Feel free to tag by character name too, but it's not required.

Rules are subject to change as needed at mod discretion.

Everyone who joins is encouraged to write an introduction post! Though it's not mandatory. Here's some suggestions on what to include:

• Who are you? What name / alias and pronouns do you go by? Are you an artist, a writer, aspiring to be, or something else? Anything you find relevant to yourself.
• Who are your main OCs? Are they part of a specific OC universe or fandom? What's their personality like?
• What relationships exist between your OCs? Be it platonic, romantic, familial, or even enemies and so on!

Tag your post as "introduction", and feel free to include as much or as little as you'd like.

As admin, I will post Discussion Prompts weekly every Friday, and Creative Prompts the 1st of every month. Members may post their own prompts off schedule any time!

Discussion Prompts are questions for you to answer in the comments. They may be about your OCs, you as a creative, and everything in between. Your answers can be short or long, a sentence or an essay. Whatever you'd like to share!

Creative Prompts are for you to create something inspired by it. They may be a sentence or two, or as little as one word. It's up to your interpretation, and all mediums are welcome! You can share your finished work in a new post. WIPs are welcome as well!

You may suggest prompts for the schedule here.
