RULES AND GUIDELINES:
1. Discrimination, racism, or general hatred will not be tolerated. While ribbing is allowed in good fun, if it crosses the line you will be warned. Excessive warnings will result in excessive discipline.
2. The way to be pushed in FAW is through consistent storyline building, consistent angles, consistent character development, and consistent participation. For all matches we would like to have a segment turned in per character. There is no limit to how many segments you can send in but please make them relevant to the show. There will be a deadline 24 hours before the show date. Please include any prefered placement on the show that the segment would air so I can properly place and format the shows.
3. If you wish to be involved in current storylines or create your own with someone else, please ask before doing so. No one wishes to have confusion with the use of their characters or what is going on in the company. Don't let this scare you away from being involved. We want everyone to be involved in FAW as much as possible. Our staff is always here for you to talk to when it pertains to these matters.
4. Segments are required and will help your characters development and push greatly. We can only do so much pushing your character if you wont. If we have something that is needed from your character(s) we will get in contact with you. Our interviewers, can always be used without permission, for interviews our shows or for RPs. If you wish to write a segment involving the general manager, Zooey Anderson, get in contact with me and we could possibly make something work. A lot of times I will be in contact with you about writing segments and storyline stuff. Keep in mind though that I'm only one person and I can't come up with all the storylines on my own. Brainstorm and work together or pitch ideas to me about who you may want to work with and I can put you together. I will have a lot of ideas on my own but I need you guys to be creative too! Some matches will be determined on the quality of the segments sent in. We value quality over quantity, so a 200 word segment could beat a 1K segment.
5. If we don't hear anything from you and your character seems to be lost in the shuffle, we can find something for them. Majority of the time we will inform you of plans, but there will be times where we keep things secret for surprise value. It’s up to you whether you continue the angle or not, but if you’re not doing anything, we will have to release you. If you need time off, please let us know. If you miss a show, please contact us and let us know what is going on. We are always willing to work with people and understand that real life situations happens. If you will not be available or able to do anything for an upcoming show or shows, please let us know so that we can book the cards accordingly.
6. Please read the shows fully. Don't just skim or check your match and move on. There's always something going on in FAW, and as rule 3 states, sometimes we'll put you into a program so you have something to do.
7. Do not ask for title opportunities. If you're participating and active in FAW, we WILL push your character. Also do not use other wrestlers without their handler's permission. If you want to do ambushes or attacks talk with the booking team before you write the segment to make sure the light is green.
8. All decisions by the booking team are final. You are welcome to question the decision and ask how we came to said decision. Understand that all feedback is meant as constructive criticism with the goal of helping to make your character better and your writing stronger. You're going to lose matches in an angle based fed. If you have a problem with your loss, please don't run right to Twitter to complain about it with OOC rants.
9. Original wrestlers only. Please refer to the Pic Base Taken post in the Application Forum to see what pic bases are currently being used. There maybe a roster cap on the active roster. If we reach the maximum we'll announce the roster cap.
10. Do not claim FAW or send in any FAW segments until your profiles are posted. We do not recognize anyone on the roster unless their profile is posted.
11. You will not be booked until you send in a debut segment or get in touch with the staff here. It’s a simple thing to do to show that you are at least somewhat invested. Also we have a roleplay and character development forums in case you want to expand your characters further. They are not required but can help with the understanding and development of your characters.
12. Sell the interactions in the fed
13. Have FUN! That's the biggest part of FAW outside of developing your characters. This is a positive community. We want you to be part of it.
