WELCOME TO DON'T STOP BELIEVING, a site set in the small town of healy, alaska. our app is fairly easy, because it only requires ten facts about your character. yep, that's it! we don't have a word count (quality over quantity, kids!), and rapidfire posting is encouraged. remember to register with a first and last name in lowercase letters. if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask an admin. we hope you enjoy your time here!
HAVE THEIR COMFORT ZONE, WE JUST WANT TO KEEP THE RATIOS FAIR. WE'RE NO WORD COUNT, BUT TRY TO MATCH WHAT YOUR THREAD PARTNER WRITES FOR YOU IF YOU CAN. IF YOU'RE WRITING ABOUT A SENSITIVE SUBJECT, PLEASE PUT UP A WARNING. MOST IMPORTANTLY, BE KIND, SAVE THE DRAMA FOR YOUR LLAMA (OUT OF CHARACTER, OF COURSE), AND HAVE FUN!
ALL ANNOUNCEMENTS AND UPDATES WILL BE FOUND HERE, SO PLEASE CHECK THIS REGULARLY. YOU'LL FIND INFORMATION ABOUT UPCOMING SITE EVENTS AND OTHER MISCELLANEOUS GOODIES, SUCH AS HOW MUCH WE LOVE YOU ALL AND GROUP HUGS AND THINGS.
EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS, WE LIKE TO PUT UP AN ACTIVITY CHECK. THAT MIGHT SEEM A BIT OVER THE TOP TO SOME OF YOU, BUT WE FEEL IT'S IMPORTANT TO KEEPING OUR ACTIVITY LEVELS UP. LUCKILY, THERE'S NO NEED TO FRET OVER ACCIDENTAL DELETION, BECAUSE WE HAVE A SYSTEM THAT ALMOST ENTIRELY ELIMINATES THAT.
IF YOU NEED TO DELETE A CHARACTER, MOVE A THREAD, REOPEN A REQUEST, ETC., THIS IS WHERE TO ASK. IT'S A HELL OF A LOT EASIER THAN CHASING DOWN AN ADMIN WITH A PM, AM I RIGHT? WE NORMALLY GET TO THESE PRETTY QUICKLY, SO YOU PROBABLY WON'T HAVE THAT LONG A WAIT.
ONCE YOUR APPLICATION HAS BEEN ACCEPTED, BE SURE TO POST IN ALL THREE CLAIMS: THE FACE CLAIM, PLAYER DIRECTORY, AND JOB CLAIM (YES, EVEN YOU UNEMPLOYED HACKS NEED TO BE ACCOUNTED FOR). DON’T BE LAZY ABOUT THIS, YOU DON’T WANT THIS TO END UP LIKE THAT ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER MOVIE WHERE HE RUNS AROUND TOWN CHASING HIS CLONE. YOU FOLKS WHO HAVEN’T REGISTERED YET CAN ALSO MAKE RESERVES AND SEE WHO’S AVAILABLE!
ALL APPLICATIONS GO HERE. THERE IS A FINISHED CATEGORY AND AN UNFINISHED CATEGORY. SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO USE THE LATTER, MAKE SURE TO BUMP YOUR APP WHEN YOU’VE FINISHED SO WE ARE SURE TO NOTICE! PENDED APPLICATIONS ARE ALSO LOCATED HERE. ONCE ACCEPTED, WE’LL DROP THAT SUCKER IN THE FILING CABINET.
ALL ACCEPTED APPLICATIONS ARE STORED HERE. THERE ARE THREE SUBFORUMS: NATIVES, LOCALS, AND VISITORS. EVERYTHING IS IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER BY LAST NAME, SO IT SHOULD BE RELATIVELY SIMPLY TO LOCATE ANY APPLICATION YOU’RE LOOKING FOR. DO NOT, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS BACON-Y, POST YOUR APPLICATION IN HIS FORUM. THEY GO IN THE REGISTRATION SECTION, YO.
SINCE ESTABLISHING RELATIONSHIPS WITH YOUR CHARACTER IS PRETTY DANG IMPORTANT TO, FRANKLY, THE WHOLE CONCEPT OF RPING, THIS IS A PRETTY IMPORTANT FORUM. YOU CAN POST PLOTTING PAGES DETAILING YOUR CHARACTER AND WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR, AND LOOK AT OTHERS’, TOO, AND WORK OUT PLOTS THAT WILL BLOW OUR DAMN MINDS. HAVE FUN AND DON’T BE SHY!
IF YOU NEED CERTAIN CHARACTERS TO FURTHER THAT PLOT YOU’VE GOT GOING, YOU CAN REQUEST THEM HERE. BE SURE TO POST IN THE FACE CLAIM IF YOU WANT TO RESERVE A SPECIFIC FACE TO FOR A REQUEST, AND WE’LL LINK TO THAT REQUEST ON THE FACE CLAIM. THERE ARE THREE SUBFORUMS FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE: LADIES, GENTLEMEN, AND GROUPS.
THIS A LITTLE MANAGEMENT CENTER OF SORTS, WHERE YOU CAN POST A THREAD TRACKER YOU’D LIKE OR REQUEST A THREAD WITH SOMEONE IF WORKING HARD ON AN OPEN POST AND NOT HAVING ANYBODY NIBBLE ISN’T REALLY YOUR THING.
GIVEN THAT IT’S USUALLY A COUPLE OF MILES BETWEEN HOUSES, INSTANT MESSENGER IS A PRETTY POPULAR FEATURE IN HEALY. HAVE SOME QUALITY SOCIAL TIME WITHOUT EVEN HAVING TO HAUL YOUR ASS FROM THAT SPINNY OFFICE CHAIR.
EVERYTHING FROM FACEBOOK TO TWITTER TO TUMBLR ACCOUNTS AND BEYOND CAN GO HERE. IT’S A GREAT WAY TO CREEP ON CHARACTERS AND FIND OUT WHAT THEY’VE BEEN UP TO, THE SCURVY OLD DOGS.
WHETHER ONE IS RESIDING IN THE SINGLE APARTMENT COMPLEX IN HEALY, SHACKING UP IN AN ACTUAL SHACK, OR HAVE MADE A NICE LITTLE HOME FOR ONESELF ON THE PRISTINE ALASKAN FRONTIER, THIS IS WHERE YOU’LL FIND IT.
HEY, NEED SOME GROCERIES? MAYBE A CESSNA TO GET YOUR SORRY ASS OUT OF YOUR HOUSE FOR A WHILE? HEAD INTO TOWN! WE’VE GOT A SWEET LITTLE SHOPPING CENTER AND SOME OTHER DIGS, EVEN A GOLF COURSE DURING THE THREE WEEKS WE AREN’T BURIED UNDER ABOUT TWELVE FEET OF SNOW. YES, THERE’S EVEN SOME PARTS OF TOWN WHERE HOUSES AND BUSINESSES ARE SO CLOSE TOGETHER YOU CAN WALK. EXCELLENT, RIGHT?
FOR A TINY TOWN, HEALY’S GOT PLENTY OF BARS (POSSIBLY TO OFFSET THE BOREDOM SOME EXPERIENCE WHEN SURROUNDED BY THE BEAUTIFUL GREAT OUTDOORS). AND, YOU KNOW, FOR THOSE WHO DON’T REALLY HAVE TO DRINK AWAY THE BOREDOM, THERE’S LOTS OF ACTIVITIES TO BE DONE OUTSIDE! THAT TOTALLY COUNTS AS ENTERTAINMENT, OKAY.
EAT UP, KIDDO! HEALY’S GOT MORE THAN A FEW REPUTABLE BED AND BREAKFAST PLACES AROUND, NOT TO MENTION THE SMATTERING OF LOCAL DINNERS AND EVEN A SUPPER CLUB FOR FANCY OCCASIONS. BE WARY, TRAVELERS, FOOD’S A SMIDGE MORE EXPENSIVE, PARTIALLY BECAUSE IT’S USUALLY SHIPPED A HELL OF A LONG WAYS, BUT ALSO BECAUSE PEOPLE AROUND THESE PARTS DEFINITELY KNOW HOW TO PREPARE IT.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE A COZY LITTLE COTTAGE OR DECKED-OUT RV, OR ANY SORT OF TEMPORARY HOUSING DESIGNED FOR A TEMPORARY STAY, YOU CAN PARK IT RIGHT HERE! WE WON’T MIND.
WELCOME TO WHAT IS EASILY THE BIGGEST DRAW OF THE HEALY AREA, IF NOT THE ENTIRE STATE. AT ITS CENTERPIECE IS THE HIGHEST PEAK IN NORTH AMERICA, MOUNT MCKINLEY, AND SIX MILLION ACRES OF UNTAMPERED LAND (WITH ONE TINY RIBBON OF AN UNPAVED ROAD CUTTING THROUGH IT ALL), DENALI DRAWS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF TOURISTS EVERY YEAR AND IS A MAJOR EMPLOYER IN THE AREA. YOU CAN GO ON A DOG SLED RIDE IN THE WINTER OR TAKE A HIKE IN THE SUMMER (OR THE REVERSE; WEATHER AROUND HE TENDS TO BE FICKLE LIKE THAT). KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR GRIZZLIES, THOUGH, AS WELL AS THOSE GODDAMNED HIPPIES.
FROM HEALY TO FAIRBANKS TAKES A TWO-HOUR COMMUTE VIA THE GEORGE PARKS HIGHWAY (IF YOU’RE A WUSSY DRIVER), BUT MOST FOLKS ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO MAKE IT, SOMETIMES EVEN DAILY IN THE CASE OF THOSE WHO WORK THERE. FAIRBANKS HOUSES THE NEAREST HOSPITAL, COLLEGE, OUT-OF-STATE AIRPORT, AND MOST OTHER SIGNS OF CIVILIZATION.
HEY, YOUR MUSE NOT FEELING TOO PRESENT-MINDED? WE HAVE A FORUM FOR THAT! ACT OUT SOMETHING FROM YOUR CHARACTERS’ PAST OR DISTANT FUTURE HERE. WE EVEN ENCOURAGE ALTERNATE UNIVERSES OVER HERE, ESPECIALLY IF THOSE ALTERNATE UNIVERSES HAVE ZOMBIES IN THEM.
HERE’S WHERE YOU CAN GO ALL OOC ON OUR ASSES! IN ADDITION TO JUST HAVING A GENERAL OPPORTUNITY TO GET TO KNOW YOUR FELLOW PLAYERS, HERE’S WHERE YOU CAN POST BOTH INTRODUCTIONS AND ABSENCES, SHOULD THE NEED ARISE TO USE THEM.
ALL FINISHED AND DEAD THREADS WILL BE STORED HERE FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE. EVERYTHING HERE’S NICE AND CATEGORIZED SO WHATEVER IT IS YOU’RE LOOKING FOR IS EASIER TO FIND. IF A THREAD HASN’T BEEN POSTED ON IN TWO WEEKS AND THERE’S NO NOTIFICATIONS AS TO WHY THAT’S HAPPENING, WE’LL MOVE IT HERE. PLEASE PM US IF YOU WANT IT REOPENED.
