malavita site rules
Malavita is an all-genre inclusive adult writing community, a home to writers of all levels. The creator behind Malavita has over a decade of experience in collaborative writing and roleplaying. Using the experience and lessons collected from years on various writing sites, Malavita was created. This site has been crafted with quality, community, and safety at its heart. The staff's priority is creating a community where all feel welcome and at home. To help aid us in fostering this environment, please be sure to read all site policies thoroughly.

• Keep all roleplays onsite || Malavita is not a tool for finding off-site RP. Public advertisement of off-site RP is prohibited. Malavita staff has no jurisdiction over writing or interactions that happen off-site, and therefore cannot step in if a problem were to arise between members. Oftentimes, off-site platforms draw those who are looking to write content that goes against Malavita's site rules, underage individuals, and those looking to obtain personal information about users for various purposes. Because of this reason, and out of concern for both the safety of our members and the site itself, we ask all members to keep all writing on-site. If you do not wish to write publicly, Malavita is also equipped with a direct message system that can accommodate you.
• Off-site contact information may be shared for OOC purposes only || Please only share this information via conversations (direct messages), not in public spaces (statuses, signatures, request threads, etc.).

Any information shared is shared at your own risk.
