[Earning EXP]

Art, literature, and roleplays must be properly submitted to the group to be counted for EXP and activity! This can be done in several ways:
1. Submitting to dA, and then submitting the piece to the group's gallery.
2. Putting the piece in stash, docs, etc. and noting the group.
3. Putting the piece in stash, docs, etc. and following the submission form in the #exp-submissions channel in the Discord.

Remember you must earn at least 1 EXP in a season to stay in the group!
It is not enough to do rumors, rps, art, etc. if you aren't actually earning EXP. This is the easiest way for admins to check activity! We send out several reminders throughout the season, so forgetting to submit or not wanting to is not an excuse- we have several very easy options and count your EXP for you, so it's very simple!

[Submission Rules]

1. Please follow the group's rules about inappropriate/forbidden topics when submitting for EXP! These can be found in Rules and the Plot Guide. Please tag and hide sensitive topics as necessary!

2. Artwork featuring characters not currently in the group is permitted and will count fully for EXP provided they are accompanied by an existing HS character (like family pictures, backstory-related pieces, etc). This piece must be interactive between the former and current characters (ie. you cannot draw two individual fullbodies and expect both to count- it must be clear they are interacting or in a meme). However, you cannot write a piece for a non-group character, briefly mention an HS character in it, and still expect it to count- the piece must be about your HS character with the NPC as a featured character.

3. Hypokits between existing HS characters and non-HS characters will be permitted only if both parents are drawn alongside the kittens.

4. If you commission, ask, or trade with someone to complete a meme or picture for you, that person, as long as they are in the group, will receive the EXP for it. If they aren't in the group, you can still submit it, but won't earn EXP.

5. Backstory characters, family members, etc. not in the group may technically be roleplayed/interacted with once your character is in the group, under the following conditions:

5.1. Any posts made by NPC characters will not count for EXP- only characters in the group will earn EXP with their rp posts.
5.2. Characters must be met on the border of Corondryx- they are not permitted to enter Corondryx, and existing group characters cannot leave it.

6. AU (alternate universe) submissions are permitted, but have their own set of rules to follow:

6.1. Character not currently in a position of power (ie. leader/deputy/head) cannot obtain said position in AU, to avoid confusion.
6.2. Characters may not return to Nandryx in AU once they have crossed over, to avoid confusion. However, you may write about what their life would have been like had they not gone through the door, and have an AU that way.
6.3. Characters may not be aged up or down to enter a romantic/sexual relationship with someone that would otherwise be considered inappropriate by normal group standards.
6.4. AUs depicting child characters as adults may not include them in any kind of relationship, they must be at least adolescent-aged in canon to enter a relationship.
6.5. NPCs are fine, but cannot be the sole focus of the submission. As it is in canon, any EXP gained from RP will be solely from currently-accepted group characters.
6.6. Any AU depictions must be clearly labeled as AU in the submission.

7. All submissions must be clear in which character is being drawn or represented in order to count. Vague sketches with no distinct features will not count for EXP.

To reward long literature pieces, you gain bonuses based on length. This is added onto your EXP total after we've converted the words to EXP with the method used above (example: You write 1500 words / 10 = 150 + 8 (length) + 10 (complete scene) + 10 (literature bonus) = 178).

750+ words: 6 exp
1000+ words: 8 exp
1250+ words: 10 exp

[Rumors]
Every 43 words = 1 EXP
Please note that you have to count YOUR word count to claim EXP for rumors. The "rumor has it" part of rumors is allowed to be included, which is why the ratio is 43:1 instead of 40:1.
EXP for rumors is not rewarded for compiling, nor do rumors earn a bonus for longevity.

Rumors that were made prior to the IC Fall 110 year (August 2022) may have been submitted during that season (August-September 2022) ONLY for earned EXP.
