Creative Freedom is a role-playing
forum created on the 19th of February, 2008 by Eferhilda, who is currently our
head administrator. She was a member and moderator of the Roleplayer Guild (RPG)
since very near it's creation in 2007. Annoyed by the strict PG-13 rules of the
Guild, Eferhilda created her own site where adult content was permitted and
where the only rules were common sense, the word of thread authors, and the will
of the administrators. She then left the Guild in August of 2009.
The basic idea behind Creative Freedom is composed of several sets of
assumptions which, when combined, form a theory. The first set of assumptions
are:
1. People like to roleplay
2. Many of these people are over the age of thirteen
3. People over thirteen typically enjoy violence, sex, and swearing
4. Violence, sex, and swearing will not turn these people into inhuman monsters,
nor will it cause their heads to explode
5. People over thirteen are perfectly capable of acting like adults without
rules to make them
This first set of assumptions establishes the fact that you can run a roleplay
forum with adult content and not be "contaminated." It is very possible to have
a forum that caters to all ages and preferences and still be classy and
professional. Imagine that. The second set of assumptions is:
1. Most people suck at writing
2. Some people don't
3. People who suck can get better
4. People who suck don't contaminate those who don't
5. People who are good at writing can help people who suck become better
6. People helping other people is much preferable to people excluding other
people
This second set of assumptions establishes a second fact, which is that a
supportive community of good writers can accept n00bs, befriend and teach them,
and thus create more good writers. It's like renewable energy, except it's made
of ideas and comes from people.
Together, these two sets of assumptions form the "Creative Freedom" theory. As
applied to forum role-plying, the Creative Freedom theory describes how to
create a website where the members come together and run their own affairs
peacefully under the benevolent dictatorship of a few good apples. At Creative
Freedom, you will not be graded, rated, labeled, characterized, classified,
defined, tagged, pigeon-holed, scape-goated, fenced-in, restricted, bound,
chained, bottled-up, contained, curbed, or limited. We won't even make fun of
you for using a thesaurus. No, our policy is that we are all very strange
people, so we might as well be friends. We accept all forms of content from all
kinds of people, and we have no rules regarding post length or quality. Here is
the one place on the internet that you can role-play whatever the hell you want,
and be part of a welcoming and supportive community in which we are all n00bs;
where imaginations run wild and free.
Will you join us?
