Posting

1. Be literate. Halcyon Valley is a literate roleplay, and you must treat it as such. Use proper grammar and proper spelling, as well as proper sentence structure.
2. No wolfspeak. Use of wolfspeak will not be tolerated.
3. Only shortpost when necessary. When posting, please fill a full chat box, at the very least. Shortposting is only acceptable if you are typing a short reply to a question, or if you would quickly like to show how your character reacts to something.
4. Follow the post order that has been formed. Otherwise, people waiting their turn will have to constantly re-type their responses to keep the roleplay flowing correctly. It is okay to shortpost out of order, in some circumstances. However, if you have a big post ready, just wait your turn!
5. Use your post symbols. If you are still typing, for example, remember to follow your post with a ">>" or a "-c-" so that someone does not postcut you. If you are done typing, remember to follow your post with a "<<" or a "-d-" (or a "-s-" if your post is short) so that others can post.
6. Do not postcut. Let everyone finish their posts!

Example #1: Literacy and Wolfspeak

GOOD
The female's ears flickered as she heard loud pawsteps behind her, and she quickly turned her head towards the noise. There, a large male wolf appeared out of the darkness, his eyes filled with rage. Instantly, the wolfess charged towards the male, her strong legs seemingly gliding across the terrain. <<

BAD
The femora's auditories flickered as she heard loud pawsteps behind her, and she quickly turned her cranium towards the noise. There, a large brujo appeared out of the darkness, his optics filled with rage. Instantly, the femme charged towards the hessian, her strong pillars seemingly gliding across the terra firma. <<

Example #2: Shortposting

ACCEPTABLE
"Oh, I would love to go on a hunt!" Rose yipped excitedly. She waited for the others to respond before acting further, her tail whipping around in anticipation. -s-
