How to Join Once Upon a Dream
Welcome to Once Upon a Dream. We are happy to have you. Our site follows a liquid timeline and allows you to have complete control over your character's past, present, and future. We offer a mature community with a ton of fun. The most important rule to know is that this is a bullyfree zone. We will troll eachother, but not to the extent that it is bullying.
We are gay, bi, pan etc accepting. We do not discriminate against members for their gender, sexual preference, race, or religious affiliations.

Canon vs. Custom/Orignal
Canon means that the character made an appearance on the show.
Custom means that the character is original to you and not on the show. You can claim fairy tale/disney characters as a custom. For example Simba has not been on the show and is a cat, but if you can figure out a way to make him human and fit into the OUAT theme we will approve it.
As a site grows it has to adjust rules. This is something staff members have been talking about since the beginning of the month. We have to limit the amount of customs people can have due to people registering for accounts and never doing the application or arguing over a character.
I define a custom as follows:
"A custom/OC is a character that comes from Disney, Folklore, or a Fairy Tale that has not appeared on Once Upon a Time."
The new custom character limit is 6. Please contact @snow with what character you wish to drop if you have more than 6.
My reasoning for this is because the site is growing as I predicted due to the show returning. New people are being attracted to the series. I rather we have a healthy and happy community rather than people bickering over who has who reserved but doesn't remember reserving them.
We will also not be making custom forums for any custom players. The Roleplay Forums are complete until the show progresses and gives us new forums. The only custom forums we will make will be for houses. If you want a house you must be active with that canon or I will delete the subforum.

I don't know who I want to be!
Ok I know who I want to be now what?
Our staff members work really hard to post wanted ads throughout the internet in hopes that we can suck a new member into a role that we're looking for. Our site members also post wanted ads for their original characters. If you want to join but want suggestions feel free to ask in OOC Cbox or check out our WANTED forum.
Ok I know who I want to be now what?
That is awesome. You're one step closer to becoming one of us. Now that you know who you want to be...
Don't worry. No question is considered stupid on this site. Ask us in Cbox or post in our question forum. Members usually know the answers too.

- Register a username on our forum that you can remember. You can change your display name at any time.
- If you want to reserve your canon post in the canon thread and request a reservation. We give you a week. If you need an extension as the end of the week approaches just ask a staff member.
- Now go and post your joining template in a new thread in the joining forum.
- If you are posting a Work In Progress or WIP, you have ONE WEEK to Complete the application. This is because we are becoming very active and guests are asking questions about taking on characters that are reserved. During this one week time period, you are NOT allowed to ICC with the character you are creating as it has yet to be approved. If the application is not completed in that one week time period it will be filed into the 'Archived Applications.'
- After you have posted your application simply wait on a staff member to approve you. It usually doesn't take long. In the meantime look over the new member guide and get to know the community.
- After you have been accepted please stop by Emma Swan image claim thread.
I have another question...
