about us paralust is a dating app/smut centric gpsl for supernatural creatures living in new york city. this is a collaborative environment! we're all way too busy, like you, to singlehandedly keep a community alive as mods. we want to create the least amount of work for ourselves as possible because we feel that is exactly why mods burn out. everyone expects mods to do all the heavy lifting on top of their regular duties. we want this gpsl to be ran by mods and members alive! we want people who don't just sit around and wait for other people to do comment them, create activities, etc. you have to be willing to contribute too.

supernatural! as mentioned in the app post, we allow almost any kind of species here and there is not any specific lore you must follow. why can't a vampire that follows the lore of true blood vampires mingle in a city with vampires that follow more of the buffy the vampire slayer type vampires? there is no reason your characters can't learn ic about the differences between everyone's species. your characters must be original! we do not allow specific characters that exist in lore or myths. for example, while you may bring a fallen angel or a demon, you can't bring lucifer or lilith. but you can make up your own! in general we allow vampires, werewolves, ghosts, demons, witches, warlocks, etc. as long as they have some sort of wiki or fan-wiki page. we also allow humans at a smaller rate, and will cap if we feel we're getting too many.
not allowed: deities/greek gods of any kind, harry potter type characters (fuck joanne rowling).

organic your character can live anywhere in new york city, but they will not know anyone else on the app. the goal of using the app is to meet new people. we are finding the process of everyone trying to join communities these days tedious because it all hinges on who offers

character limit to start, please do not join with more than one character at a time. after adds, you can bring a second. we believe most people can handle two characters just fine, but there are a couple problem people in pbads who seem to bring 5 or more characters to communities at once w/out being active with them all and we'd rather you focus on being very active with one or two tops. if you're someone who regularly does this and we notice, you will be banned from joining.

application process please use an ooc character journal! you should have an in character and ooc post up and they have to be friends only (not public) as does your comment settings. your ooc post should have basic character information such as their name, birthdate and age, species, occupation, etc. bios / blurbs not required but we highly suggest writing at least 100-150 on their personality or background. icons and layouts should reflect the styles in the resources in the app post.

activity requirements you must update once a month with anything you want and you must be on the fp commenting intros & posts at least once every 4-7 days. any sign that you've resorted to sticking to customs and are not participating on the fp regularly will lead to removal.

supernatural/sol - we know with many supernatural communities the expectations is that there will be public threading, etc. this is not the case and we'd rather stick to the sol rule of thumb with this so please keep all threads and writing (narratives being the exception) in private customs.

the dating app, smut, etc. paralust is the dating app your characters use to initiate hook-ups and dates and yes, that means we're somewhat smut centric. however, we aren't smut centric to the extreme that you should not care about character development or that your only goal should be to write smut. characters should at some point be making friends too. you should still have natural conversations where sexual topics don't dominate every single word your character utters. that can make people uncomfortable sometimes. be respectful and do not share nsfw anything without consent from someone ic or ooc. this will result in immediate removal. anything nsfw on the fp must be clearly marked.

et cetera paralust is a journal based gpsl and messaging/chatting apps are 100% banned. use of these apps will get your character removed and banned from the community. if you are often mobile, please use gmail in your browser like the rest of us to respond.
