Community Profile

Welcome to Asylum, where your mind is always free to wander. Established in 2002 on Livejournal.com and transferred to Dreamwidth in 2017, this community was built on the premise that everyone needs a place to sound off. We don't mind morbid or psychotic, so rest assured that this is a place open to all of your thoughts and ideas, as well as suggestions. Anyone is free to join - so long as you don't mind the screaming at night. Go ahead and ramble, role-play, complain, create, sass, scream or whatever you want to do. Please remember that your mental well-being and rehabilitation is very important to us, so if you have any problems, suggestions, or questions, feel free to contact our staff members.

Standard Procedure
Every asylum has it's rules. Here are ours:
1. Please fill out our "New Member Registration" to get a room on the site. Asylum Online is currently under construction so this will not be necessary at the moment. Please just post an introduction directly to the community!
2. Please message Stillbourne on your first day. This is for our Veterans Awards.
3. Be in your rooms after lights out.
4. Play nice with the other patients. This is a therapeutic environment and abuse of staff or other patients will NOT be tolerated here. We will delete all posts of an intentionally disrespectful nature, as well as disrespectful comments to other people's posts.
5. Be creative! (We know you can do that, or you wouldn't be here).
6. No advertising communities here. If you wish to affiliate with our community, please message Stillbourne with a brief description of your community, and your banner or button. Please make sure it is no bigger than 150X50 pixels.
7. Pictures are welcome here. Remember though: Things of a graphic nature, including nudity and graphic violence, must be behind a cut. Large images must also be behind a cut.
8. All images of nudity and pornographic writing must be of people (be it yourself or others) over the age of eighteen. These things must always be behind a cut. Please include a warning in your post if it contains graphic material behind the cut, a lot of us check from work, and there are also people who could be triggered by certain material.
9. Take your meds. Your nurses and doctors love you. We are here as much as humanly possible to help you or chat with you. We do not guarantee 24 hour availability, but we try.
10. Yes. They are after you. Sorry.
