NEW STARTER'S CHECKLIST
This thread is designed to help you through the first starting stages of AB. If you need any help then please contact a member of staff. If you are a regular member on the forum and are simply looking for all the links you need to get a secondary character off the ground then please check our Regular Member's Fast-Track.
PRINCE'S TOUR
An easy way to be steered around this little obstacle course is by Prince. Prince is our little frog guide who can take you from place to place. He does not, however, take you everywhere - his guide is for the simple, "how to get a character application done" way of starting on the forum. The below list includes absolutely everything that could be of help to you. To follow Prince's guided tour just start at the Welcome page (the first link below) and follow the links in his boxes.
JUST STARTING
 Welcome to Albany Beauty... » Read this welcome thread. It gives you a little bit of background and explanation of the forum and introduces you to Prince, or handy dandy froggy guide who can show you around the place.
Setting, Plot and Historical Accuracy » This thread is important as it tells you exactly where we are in the story. The Plot section of this thread will change as each new plot twist comes about so please keep an eye on either this or the Announcements board where we will announce any big plot additions.
The Red Tape - Rules and Guidelines » It's boring, I know, but it has to be done. The rule guide is important and needs to be read through thoroughly before you can begin.
CBox Rules » Not so important, unless you are wanting to use the cBox which is under the poison apple. If you are going to interact with others on the cBox then please read these rules - they're just your basic stuff.
Get to Know AB's Staff » Come and get to know us a little bit. We don't bite! This isn't a necessary step in the path but it's always useful to know who is who.
News and Announcements » Again, not a necessary step but by checking out any recent posts in the News and Announcements board you can get the idea of what is going on here at AB and be up to date as you start to join us.
Activity and Members » Again, this will help you understand exactly what's going on on the forum and what kinds of roleplaying trends are happening.
CHARACTER CREATION
Character Requests » The first place to start is here. It's always best to see if someone is requesting a character or face claim to go with a character so that you can consider these when choosing your own. There is nothing stopping you choosing and creating your own character as you see fit, of course, but your ideas might fit in with someone else's which makes it nice and easy.
Current Limitations » Please check this thread as it is important information on what is and is not allowed regarding characters at this point in time. This message may change as new plots are introduced so keep an eye on it.
Fairy Tales List » So now it's time to choose your character! Check out this list and remember that you can add any fairy tale or adaptation you like if our current members have not suggested enough for you to choose from.
Face Claim » Check out our face claim to decide who you might use as your play-by in your application. You don't need to post anything here yet as you cannot reserve play-bys but you need to at least check who is free before you start off making an application using a face already claimed.
Denied Applications » This is not a necessity but it is useful to look through what kind of applications get accepted and what kinds get rejected. Then you can work on your application accordingly.
Admission Application » And here is the code you need. Please read through the thread carefully and use the codes appropriately.
New Character Applications » This is where you post your character application. Remember to put [WIP] in your character title if it is not completed yet and remove it when you're finished. Please read the instructions at the top of the page on how to write out your thread title.
AFTER ACCEPTANCE
Face Claim » Okay, now you can post your face claim and take your celebrity on.
Who Plays Who? » Add yourself to the Who Plays Who? list so that we all know who you are. Remember to add to this as you create new characters too.
One-Click Wall » The One-Click Wall is a handy tool that allows us to click on characters easily. Please post your image in black and white as per instruction. The characters are listed in the order they appear in our Fairy Tales List.
University Roster » This is not needed for everybody but if your character attends the University you need to sign them up to the register.
Town Census » This thread keeps an eye on where our characters are living currently. Again, this may not apply to you if you are a visitor or wanderer by nature, but, if your character is remaining in one place for a substantial period of time then they need to register their residence.
General Discussion » Introduce yourself! You're all done and dusted and ready to roleplay. So you need to introduce yourself to everyone so that we all know who you are!
PLOT DEVELOPMENT
Plot Pages » Create your character's plot page so that anyone and everyone can get involved with your character. One thread per character.
Thread Trackers » This one is for you to keep track of all of your characters in one place. Remember to update it regularly and encourage others to post thread reminders on there for you. One thread per member.
Character Development » If you want, post character development threads for your individual characters and post little bits of information, songs, bonus materials etc, about them here.
IC Journals » If your character is the kind of person to keep a journal or diary then this is the place to put it. Customization encouraged and all to be written in the first person.
Open Threads List » Check out our open threads list so that you can see who else is waiting for someone to roleplay with them. Or, if you want to start a thread yourself then post it as open on this thread so that others may find it easier and join.
Story Discussion » Chat with other members on the forum to get some good plotting and storyline developments going. This is just a general chat - you can make as many threads as you like.
