Writing Habits and Expectations
Use this section to outline how often you tend to post, whether or not you consider yourself a lengthy writer, and any other details about your writing life as you see it here on Thorns.
Narrative Consent and Preferences
Please understand the use of the symbols I use below like this:
✅ Enthusiastic consent; bring it on.
⚠️ Okay if veiled or offstage; might be okay onstage but requires discussion ahead of time; uncertain.
🛑 Hard line; do not include unless I give you explicit permissions.
Mature+ Status
Do you want to be opted into the Mature+ forum as a Writer account or have any of your Character accounts opted into the Mature+ forum? Feel free to make note of that here.
Relationships: Sex and Romance
Use this section to detail your preferences when it comes to romance and sexuality in your narratives. While we are an 18+ site that allows mature content so long as it is clearly labeled in the title and tagged, you do not have to ever write something that you don't want to. Fade to black or no romance at all is just as acceptable!

Triggers
Please list any and all triggers that are important for you to avoid in order to have an enjoyable role playing experience. Unfortunately, given the nature of the political and social structures in place in the Six Kingdoms of Vita, please keep in mind it is rather difficult to fully escape such things as racism, sexism, and the occasional bit of homophobia, but if those are triggers for you, please list that you would like to limit interactions with major plot lines or player-led plots dealing directly with these things.
Note: Below are just examples. Please feel free to write in your own and/or delete ones that you don't think at all matter to you or will come up as an issue. Thank you.
