crosspoint_hills is a panfandom, general DR. All posts made in this community should take place somewhere in the town or the immediate surrounding area. You can find a description of the setting and locations here and linked on the community's profile. We welcome all kinds of CR and plots.

2. Being a general DR, everyone is welcome to play here. We do ask that players participating in smut logs be 18+ however. All triggering content, including violence and sex, should be warned for and placed behind a cut.

3. Characters of all types are allowed: humans, aliens, furries or whatever you may have.

4. Canon characters are welcome along with OCs and AUs. Canon duplicates are to be expected.

5. If you and another player have a problem, please try to work it out civilly. If you can't come to an agreement, contact the mods and we'll do our best to handle any problems. We want this to be a fun place for everyone.

6. Please tag your posts with the appropriate tags. Canon characters should be tagged with canon: [your canon]. OCs and AUs should also be marked with the appropriate tags.

What types of characters are allowed here?

All types of canons, AUs, and OCs are acceptable here. Multiple versions of characters are also to be expected given the type of community this is.

Are there any age limits on what characters can be played here?

Not really! Any and all ages are fine to be played here as long as they are able to make it without some kind of guardian. Any character participating in a smut scene should be 15+.

So do we just join up or are there apps?

Just join both the main and OOC communities and you're good to go! No applications are necessary to play here.

Is there any kind of scene not allowed to be played out in the community like sex or violence?

All scenes are acceptable as long as anything potentially triggering is warned for and put behind a cut. Just be respectful! In the case of sex logs, both players must both be over 18 to participate. Characters can be 15+.

As always, if you're unsure, don't hesitate to ask one of the mods to clear up anything you might need help with.

Are there any power limits or do characters keep their full abilities?

In this type of setting, taking powers or abilities away entirely would be difficult to enforce and potentially limiting for the players. We just ask that players respect each other and refrain from godmodding. If you have problems with another player you can't settle on your own, please do not hesitate to contact one of the mods via the concerns post.

We also ask that you refrain from damaging any of the places listed on the settings page permanently. If you're in doubt about what might be acceptable, please don't hesitate to contact us!

What happens if my character dies in Crosspoint Hills?

Then they are returned back home unharmed and with only vague memories of what happened which could be just as easily chalked up to a dream. No death is permanent and characters may return at any time and in full health.

What if my character speaks a different language, how will they communicate with others?

All characters are able to understand each other and the townspeople with total ease while at Crosspoint Hills. As a matter of fact, characters probably won't even realize that others aren't speaking in their default language.

Do characters need money? How do they afford things like food or housing?

Everything is provided for free at Crosspoint Hills, so no need to worry about money or jobs! However if characters want to establish their own business or find employment, that is perfectly fine. It's just not necessary in order to live.

How do characters come and go again?

Many ways! The way characters can appear here are really limitless. Some drive in, some walk in, some come by boat or train. Characters may arrive and leave at 12:00 pm and 12:00 am only as these are the only times the town's magical barriers are open and allow for it.

If you try to leave at any other time before then, the roads will simply end, anchors won't lift, and the trains won't go. If characters try to leave on foot, they will eventually just wind up at the edge of town again.

All citizens in the town will tell you when you can leave, so don't worry about that.

My character has a cellphone/laptop, etc.! Can they use it still?

Sure, but phones cannot call outside the town, laptops only have access to what is on the local network. That applies to all types of technology. Transporter devices and anything similar are inoperable except at the designated magic hours.

How are posts supposed to be tagged?

Just like at our sister community,

club_id, posts are to be tagged with any potential triggers and locked if necessary. There are also tags to specify AUs, OCs, and various canon tags.

The canon tags are made by players and should be in the following format:

canon: (series name here)

Please make sure your series doesn't have a tag already before making an entirely new one to avoid duplicates.

Will there be any type of events or memes held here?

There will be a monthly mod-hosted event, yes. If you have an idea for an event you would like to see, you may always contact a mod on the suggestions post to let us hear it.

Welcome To Crosspoint Hills
population: Who knows?

Crosspoint Hills is a tiny town literally in the middle of nowhere. It can't be found on any map and only those who live there or have been there before can find it intentionally. All others just seem to drift in like the tide.

Some drive in on streets that seem to disappear in the rearview mirror leaving nothing but desert, forest, or open fields behind you, depending on where you were coming from. Others come by boat, being washed up the river by a sudden, strange tide or up to the ferry boat dock on the town-side shore of Point Lake. Still others come by train, arriving at Crosspoint Station on the 12:00 train out of... everywhere. And we do mean everywhere.

Time and travel are both controlled by the Crosspoint Hills clock tower. The tall spire rises high above town and chimes the hour for all to hear. Its most enthusiastic chimes, however, come at noon and midnight. These are the magic hours, when the city's magical barriers open and allow travelers in and out. If you try to leave at any other time, you will be unable to -- roads will end, boat anchors will be impossible to lift, trains will not go. If, on the other hand, you happen to be in your car heading out when the clock chimes, you can be on your way.

Helpful staff and townspeople will be glad to tell you when the next magic hour will strike.

One main road runs through the middle of town, aptly named Main Street. Smaller side streets will take you to the various other locations Crosspoint Hills has to offer, but all roads do eventually lead back to Main Street. Main Street leads from one side to the other, seemingly ending abruptly at each edge of town. Shops, diners, and other helpful businesses can be found there. The town also sports a small police station, a radio station, a television studio, a hospital, a small gas station, and other small town accouterments. If you need directions just ask.

The north side of town lives in the shadow of a majestic mountain range. The mountains are cut off from the town by the river that runs along the town border. To the east is a lush forest. At the southern edge of town, the landscape gives way to dry, arid desert. The east side of town sports a sandy beach and dunes that overlook an endless, blue ocean.

Crosspoint Hills is dedicated to being the finest tourist destination in all of anywhere. Welcome to our humble town and we hope you enjoy your stay.

At least until the clock chimes.
