Welcome to the Fullmetal Alchemist Clubhouse! At one time this community lived on the Twilight Sucks forums as a club, but our community grew and /TS/ had to move forums one too many times, so we sought a new permanent residence. Although we keep the title of FMA clubhouse, this community is open to everyone of any fandom. Just be aware that we will be discussing FMA more frequently than anything else. ;3
Da Rules (originally written by Crow)
1. FMA is a big fandom, with many different fans with many different interests, so you’re bound to find people who you don’t agree with. You are still expected to treat them with respect. There will be no character/pairing/whatever bashing here, because that never ends well. Keep an open mind, and if you have any silly personal issues with another fan’s opinions, keep it to yourself.
In short, NO FANWARS. Be it shipwars, anime vs. manga wars, personal disputes, or just general drama, don’t post it here. Civil discussion on designated threads is perfectly fine, but don’t bring drama where it doesn’t belong. We’re here to have fun, not throw rocks at each other.
2. Try to keep it PG-13, for the most part. Any NC-17 content, including fic, has to be hosted off-site. (We got in trouble for NC-17 fic once.) If you’re linking off-site to something with graphic content, be it pr0n, gore, whatever, give a warning. Profanity is perfectly fucking fine, as long as it’s not directed towards another poster.
3. Please, please, please be literate. The occasional typo or grammar screwup or roflmao is okay, but for the love of Gate, type normally. Asdlkfjslkjdflsj – ing is appropriate when your passion exceeds the standards of conventional English, and capslocking is acceptable when it’s for GREAT JUSTICE, but don’t write in all caps all the time, and actually take the time to write out your words instead of using nothing but chatspeak.
4. Spoiler Policy: SPOILERS. SPOILERS EVERYWHERE. They're unavoidable at this point, and I'm not going to expect people to be quiet about 'em. There will be spoilers for all the canons here, so tread carefully!
5. Thread necromancy is perfectly allowed, and actually preferred to creating a clone topic. As this is the FMA Clubhouse, it will of course require a limb as the toll, but all lost limbs can be reclaimed easily at the Lost and Found. Al runs said Lost and Found, and will happily return sacrificed limbs for pictures of kitties. If only Truth were this easy to placate...
(Basically, when you revive a thread, post kitties. Everyone wins!)
6. Everyone is required to wear TINY MINISKIRTS! -shot-
If, after that insanely long wall of pretentious text, you still have any questions, comments, or complaints, feel free to either post here or PM me or Crow.
Enjoy the club! <3
