Do you have an idea for a camper, student, or pet? This is the place to put it! Questing at Mind Over Matter is a relatively simple process. All you need is to fill out the specific form for either Camper or Student and make a thread. Once the information's there, you can ask other people and staff to give you critique!

If you would like official staff crit, look here.


THREAD TITLES

    For a Quest, label your thread with [Q].
    For Event Wins, label your thread with [E].
    Customs or gifts should be labeled with [C].
    If you are reviving a character from our previous shop, label with [R].
    If your thread is improperly labeled, staff will correct it for you.


Please title your thread with the first and last name of your character!

Speaking of names, characters may share first or last names with other characters! It happens in real life, doesn't it? There may not be two Charlotte Lambs or Reese Vaughans, but you might see a Charlotte Lamb and a Reese Lamb. If you're unsure, just check with staff.


APPROVAL/ACCEPTANCE

    If your thread is labeled as Approved, it means your character is ready for any sort of event or custom opportunity.
    If your thread is labeled as Accepted, then your character is now official and you will receive their journal, art, and cert!


For Approval and Acceptance, you only need to fill in the necessary profile form. Pets and Mental Worlds are extra and are not needed for your character to become official.

There are approval deadlines for event wins! If you do not finish your profile within 30 days of a win you will receive a PM as a reminder. This is on a three strike policy. If we do not receive any response from you in 14 days following the final notice then you forfeit your character.

If you need more time, please tell us. You can request an extension to your deadline by PMing Mind Over Matter Staff. We will negotiate a new deadline date with you! You may request multiple extensions but none may exceed a total of 90 days. In the event you reach 90 days then you forfeit the character.

Once your character is accepted, their thread will be moved to the Public Archives. We will not lock your thread until we see you have moved over all necessary information to your journal. If you want your thread unlocked then simply ask a member of staff.


PETS

If you want to quest for a pet, you can make a post in your thread or make a separate thread all together. Quest characters may have pets from the beginning and may receive their pets during standard acceptance. Characters won from events may not have pets added into their threads but may acquire pets at a later date.
