A couple of OOC questions from a newb.

[BlankestofFlanks]

Alright, so I'm pretty new here still and am looking to get in on some of the FFA rp going on. I've got a question or two. Is there any kind of overarching canon going on at large? Or is each thread self contained?

And if it's the latter are their often threads that are simply aimed at a setting meant to give characters a place to relax and just chit chat with each other?

its self contained unless the OP says other wise

There is not really a set timeline here. All threads are independently occurring. There ARE sometimes joining threads, such as those that occur along a journey that require the characters to move through different forums. This fashion show stretch through a few different topics.

But normally, yes, every thread occurs independently of the others. Many threads in the World of Equestria RP are very slice-of-life, like the show, and often are simply just talking and getting to know another pony. The Free Roleplay area is welcome to do that style of RP also, though the rules are a lot more lenient, and the original poster of the topic tends to determine what that particular RP will entail.

When YOU make a thread, you're welcome to set the basic rules down in the first post, or in an OOC topic. This can include the type of character's allowed to join, post length, what the RP will be about, etc.

Alrighty then. Thank you. That clears it up nicely. I've got a application in for the world of Equestria, waiting to see how it goes. Thank you for the speedy answers.
