topic moderation thread

so happy you've decided to join tciaw! this is if your first stop (and probably your last, really) when you make a new character. please post your finished or unfinished application in the proper forum, and read the registration thread before making your topic!



registration thread | the canon list | finished applications | unfinished applications

the nycpsa keeps tabs on all the students from lannister and saint anselms's. this is where they put all them records. accepted applications will all be found in here - and this is also where the plotting happens! (:



freshmen | sophomores | juniors | seniors | faculty | group plot

this is where you find your sign ups. your sports extracurriculars, everything. make sure to sign up to everything relevant to your character, and more importantly, the face claim and the who's who!



FACE CLAIM. | SECRETS. | WHO'S WHO.

this is tciaw's want ads forum. guests are encouraged to look in here before they make a character. brighten up someone's day by taking a request! here at tciaw, we're very pro-otp and crackship, so we put a spin on the want ads. you will find everything you need to know about that here, as well. if you have any questions about this - feel free to contact an admin! (:

notes, blog posts, journals, photo albums, thoughts, dating survey answers, biographies, outfits, soliloquy, self roleplay and the like - anything that is related to your character's development go in here. thread trackers are found in here too!

when you could talk to just about anyone in the world - who needs real friends, right? here you've got skype calling, instant messaging, twitter - you name it, right in the comfort of your cave, ahem, ikea furnished closet.

cellphones. in this day and age, without a phone, one would be, and could be lost. literally. call someone you love, send an angry text to someone you hate, be hopelessly stuck in someone's voice mail, all right here.

middletown park's infamous bathroom wall littered with messages and flamewars between st anselm's and lannister students alike. every now and then, someone paints over it, but it never lasts for long. please don't overwrite messages if they aren't yours!
last cleared: 19/8

Sponsored and hosted by the New York City Association for Private Secondary Schools (NYCPSC), it was designed to bring together New York City's private students, instead of having them isolated within their own institutes. No longer regulated by the NYCPSC, it is now home to teen drama and angst. PLEASE REFER TO THE RULES HERE: click, click! BEFORE POSTING! thank you!

so at tciaw, we understand that not all things require two hundred seventy five word posts. so here's the quick fix box, for all those lovely little moments that don't need a big thread and two seventy five words a post. the quick fix is set in middletown park, that park stark in the middle of town which both saints and lannies have agreed to call neutral ground. you must have at least one thread, and all major events must be threaded, please refer to the rules. thanks.

The New York City Private Schools Association's next rather feeble attempt at getting the two top tier schools to interact and settle their differences. Obviously, it's not as if that's gonna work. It's still being used frequently by the students, but since the NYCPSA stopped moderating it, there are no rules with what's being posted anymore.

the watcher. her identity is subject to many debates, her name often cursed when someone's darkest secret is exposed to the public. welcome to new york city's resident gossip blog, dirty little secret. check in frequently, new yorkers, yours might be next.

red and silver, home of the lions. welcome to saint anselm's academy. founded 1944 by catholic priests, but later sold to an affluent family at the time, who transformed saint anselm's into the school it is at present. saint anselm's is the home of the one percent population. the rich, smart and powerful all gather here, making saint anselm's not only famous for their ivy preparatory program, but also for their rather infamous students.

blue and gold, home of the eagles, welcome to lannister! lannister high school has prided itself in its students' abilities, considering that, in some cases, ability might be all they do have.

any forms of entertainment - from parties, concerts and gigs, strolls, sight seeing and having a lot of fun and getting into a lot of trouble can be found here.
