LET'S VOTE: RULE CHANGE

[intercom_voice]

This rule was enacted, but due to a lot of backlash, we've decided to hold it to a vote:

▶ Fancharacters who are related to or romantically involved with any canon characters are not allowed. This applies to backstory only, not to CR built in this game or others.

We're either keeping this rule as is or removing it entirely. Please comment in one of the spaces below.

KEEP IT
DELETE IT

In the future, we'll have votes for rule changes too. I apologize for the unhappiness that this has caused. We're all still a bit new at this while modding thing!

VOTING ENDS 2/2 @ 9PM EST

VOTING HAS ENDED

Voting has ended in a tie. A vote will be held between the three mods to come to a decision. Feedback on plurk and in the comments below will be taken into consideration.

While I don't think the rule is completely unreasonable, part of what I like about this DR is that it's the only place I know of on DW that's panfandom and allows near-complete freedom on the types of characters that can be played here. While a lot of characters of that type are bad, it doesn't seem fair to also block the ones that are well done. Especially since this is one of the only places outside of PSLs where they could play.

That said, it might be a good idea to put up a different rule in the current one's place. Perhaps that if the canon characters the OC is related to are in the game, they need permission from the already in-game mun(s) before bringing that character in?
