Disclaimer
Themiscyra is a community posting environment. We want to be
sure you understand that anything you write here with us becomes
the property of Themiscyra as a whole, forever. When
you join and then post, you are giving us permission to use,
change, and display that work as Themiscyran work.
While our forums are private, our archives are public so we
can share with the universe at large our community and how it
works. Posting at Themiscyra means you give us the right to post
your work publicly. You will always be credited as your chosen
character name for any work we display publicly.
Please look around the entire site before you
ask to join the tribe. Pay special attention to the Training
Ground page, as it contains most of what you can and can't
do here. You should also take a look at our archives at Ria
Istoria. You'll find your soon-to-be Amazon Sisters at the Roster
page.
Rules
for Joining
1) To join, you must be female.
Themiscyra is an all-female tribe. We currently do not have
plans for males to join the tribe. Our community is not only
about writing and having fun, but about female empowerment.
2) To join, you must provide an email
address in the application. The email you list must
work. Once you receive a reply, you must reply to that email
before you can be accepted.3) To join, you
must be 16 (sixteen)
years of age or older. We apologize if
this offends anybody, but some of the topics are of a sensitive and adult nature. Please specify your age
when you send your application to join. Don't lie about your
age, as it discredits your honor. Lying about your age can
result in your expulsion from the tribe.
Rules
for Participation
1) You must behave with honor.
Once you are a member, you will receive an email with
instructions for access to the restricted and secret parts of
our tribe. Any sister caught giving out passwords or
posting them in the main forum will be banned, this includes to
other sisters. Only the High Council can give out passwords.
In Themiscyra, your word is your bond. Amazons caught lying,
cheating or acting in a manner unbecoming an Amazon will be
subject to Amazon law. This could result in your expulsion from
our tribe.
2) You will be required to post on both
types of Themiscyra's forums at least once a month. This
means once in a role-playing forum and once in a chat-type
forum.Themiscyra considers "Tavita Istoria" and "Nok'tana
Istoria" as Role-Playing forums and everything else as a
Chat forum. You will find there are plenty of places to post.
We do allow for vacations and leaves of absences. We don't
want you gone for too long, and will question you if your
absence is more than three months long without satisfactory
explanation. Members on LOA for six months without approval will
be moved to NPC status and retired.
Failure to meet the monthly posting requirements may result in your dismissal.
You are given only one warning if you did not post in any forums
at all during the month and failure to post the next month will
result in your retirement.
We want ACTIVE members who are more than just writers - we
want a strong community. Our community has been around for 10
years
because we all care about each other. Our lives outside the
role-playing forum are as important as our lives inside it. One
post a month saying, "Happy birthday"
or "hey, my life is good" is not too much
to ask. You are given three warnings to post in an RPF or chat
forum if you did not post one of those that month.
If you leave the tribe without word, your character
automatically becomes a non-player-character usable by anyone
within the tribe.
If you choose, or are asked, to leave the tribe, we will do
our best to follow your wishes regarding the handling of your
character. If you choose to take your character with you,
we will do our utmost to give you whatever exit you envision for
your character. If you choose to leave your character with us,
we will continue to treat your character with the respect it
deserves. Any non-player-character you created will revert to
the tribe as a whole.
You are creatively entitled to
your character and her history, of course. However, any
stories you created while in Themiscyra will remain Themiscryan
property. They were built for and with others, and are not
solely your own anymore. See the disclaimer at the top of this
page for more information.
3) You must have a valid email.
Once you are a member, you will receive a monthly newsletter, so
please use the best email address when you sign up at Aimoo for our forums.
This is the only way you will be notified of password changes
and other important news and information, so it is critical that
your email address is valid.
Joining
the Tribe
Thank
you for your interest in becoming part of the Themiscyra Amazon
Tribe!
Please answer the questions in pink. You can use the suggestions
in white to share a little detail with us. You do not need to
answer every question, of course. But the more we know, the
quicker a decision can be made about your application!
To join our Tribe, please email
the
following information to us:
If you have already created a name and biography of your Amazon character, you can include it. However,
it is NOT required at this time.
When submitting your application, please use correct
grammar and spelling. A sloppy application with internet
shortcuts doesn't show us you can write. Please, put your best
foot forward!
Send your join request to: Queen
Deoris
After
Applying
Our Latra (Queen)
Deoris will contact you. She may ask for more information or a
sample of your writing. She may simply inform you that you have
been approved to join the tribe. This is the first step on your
journey to our tribe.
Our Primus Orisate
(First Welcome), Myla of the Cantiaci, will be in touch with you once
you have been accepted to the tribe. She will assist you with
anything regarding
the beginnings of your Amazon character.
Name: You will need
to choose an Amazon name
for yourself. Please DO NOT choose a name from the show
(i.e. Gabrielle, Velasca, Ephiny, etc.). Or any famous
historical name. THESE NAMES ARE INSTANTLY
REFUSED! There are ideas on choosing names at the Training
Ground.
Biography: You will
need to create a biography for yourself, a history of your life
before Themiscyra, or your life in Themiscyra if you choose to
have been born among us. You can be anything you
like, but it is subject to approval by the Delu Abacha (the High
Council).
Please be as creative as you can be.
Be original! Choose something new, different, and unique for
yourself. Be normal, but be fabulous!
Family
relationships and other ties to Zeus, Ares, Artemis, Xena and
Gabrielle, Hercules and Iolaus and any other Xena character, God
or Goddess, or anyone of an important historical nature could be
denied. We're not trying to stifle your creativity, we're
encouraging it by asking you to think uniquely.
Big Sister: Myla may also
put you in touch with one of our current
Amazons. It is the job of this woman to guide you, help you, and
help to write your character into the tribe. She is your best
resource at Themiscyra, do not be afraid to question her about all
things Amazon. She knows the answers, that's why she was chosen to
help you!
More information on what will happen is at the Training
Ground!
Once everything is ready, the Latra will contact
you with your access to our private, protected areas. You will be
able to join the forums at that time. Your biography will go up on
the site and you will be announced to the tribe in the Tamboo
(party) forum. Our Amazons LOVE new members, and will dance around
you, talk to you, read your biography, and coo over your portrait.
Don't be afraid! We're just happy to have you along.
Thank
you for your interest in Themiscyra!
We
hope to hear from you soon!
