welcome to venue!
we welcome the artists and staff of zenith entertainment to join us on a worldwide tour! rehearsals will begin july 1, with the tour kicking off on july 12 in america. tour schedule

zenith entertainment is based in los angeles, ca and seoul, south korea with apartment complexes (with optional residency) for our members in both locations.

?
how it works
we are a celeb comm with an au/pb twist. here at venue, all our members are employed under the same entertainment agency, and will be embarking on a worldwide tour (akin to jingleball or smtown) with daytime stages along with a main show.

*at the moment, we are only accepting musical acts and staff. it is possible we will expand to include other forms of entertainment in the future. along with musical acts, we will be accepting pb staff.

*because of the premise of the community, real-time schedules do not have to be followed. comebacks and album releases can move forward as usual, but tours and promotions can be postponed due to the nature of the community tour.

soloists only: if you would like to opt out of some of the shows in favor of real-time schdules, please let us know and we will adjust the lineup accordingly. we want to give our members more freedom when it comes to their schedules/projects. we may consider the possibility of groups opting out of tour dates as well, but to keep things simple all groups will be part of the community tour.

during the off-season, employees may choose to reside in one of the company complexes in either los angeles or seoul. residency in the complexes are not required. unless requested otherwise, it will be assumed westerners are based in la and idols in seoul.

celeb we do expect a certain level of accuracy when writing your celeb. personality and family history should remain the same. there will be some leniency with the premise, but please stay as true to your celeb as possible.

pb reserved for employees that are not main 'talent'. please be mindful of the 5 year rule when claiming credits (including, but not limited to: dancers, producers, backing vocals, managers, songwriters, stylists, media liasons, etc.).

faux we will be allowing a limited amount of faux slots for the time being. this could change if things get too confusing. we will not be accepting credits of a minor even if the pb is of age. you are also expected to keep the race of your character the same as the credits being claimed.

*to keep things more organized, if a face is being used for a pb/faux claim, that celeb's credits are off the table. for example, if someone would like to pb jungkook as a choreographer/dancer, jungkook and bts as a whole cannot be used as faux celeb credits. same goes for celeb - if someone applies as jennie kim as celeb, the rest of bp must also be celeb.

*for those wanting to celeb an idol who is currently enlisted or scheduled to be soon, we are leaving the option open to bypass enlistment by saying they have already served their time or have been deferred. while this doesn't align with korean law, we want everyone to be able to write their celebs freely within the confines of our universe. of course, fulfilling enlistment duties in real time is also an option.

this is a new adventure for all of us, so we ask for your patience while working out the bugs! if you have any questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to leave your input.

?
applying and introductions
ooc usernames we will be using ooc usernames. no underscores or numbers, please!

info pb roles are required to have at least 5 basic facts about your character (name, birthday, hometown, etc.) we are also requesting celeb roles have their birthday and group (if applicable) easily accessible.

backdated entries please have a backdated f/o and screened post

wire/tg not required. activity will be solely based on journal/fp interaction

post an introduction in lineup or comment the group chat within 48 hours of being added. this initial post can be anything: social media, lyrics, ama, a quiz and will count as your post for the month. you must reply to 90% of the comments for it to count.

?
living arrangements
everyone is allowed to choose their roommate(s) and floor plan. floors/unit numbers will be assigned. please let us know if you would like to be assigned a random roommate.

to keep things uniform, amenities for both buildings will be the same. please operate under the assumption that the buildings are ran by a subsidiary of zenith entertainment. both buildings are fictional and exist for the purpose of the game.

below, you can find the buildings we will be using as references. please click here for the official housing page and here for current living arrangements.

los angeles the harland west hollywood

seoul ph129

*while on tour, everyone is allowed to choose their roommate(s) or they can be randomly assigned at east stop.

?
activity requirements
we are focused on group & character interactions. there will be a surplus of mod hosted activities, but everyone is encouraged to propose and run events of their own. we want to find the perfect balance between app and journal based activity, as well as a few extras along the way.

please run the friends button within 48 hours of being added and at least once every 2 weeks.

activity will be monitored a little more closely. we want to be sure everyone is putting in an equal amount of effort and not just poking up for their monthly check-in. we will be requiring 2 signs of activity per month:

   • multimedia entries moodboards, lyrics, an image, promos, etc. comments must be enabled.

   • group activities & social events we encourage participation in ffas, amas, plot posts, games, etc. hosting an activity will count as 2 activity points as long as you're active in the comments.

   • 100 words / prompts our goal is to provide monthly writing prompts for our members to get the creative juices flowing! we will also be providing media templates such as interviews, tabloid articles, zines, and more! comments do not have to be enabled for these posts.

social events our goal is to have at least one activity a week, so there will be plenty of opportunities to join.

we have some fun opt out options in store as well, so keep an eye out!

removals will be done on the first of every month. however, if your character appears to be inactive and we receive a request to override, we will be issuing a 24 hour warning before allowing your character to be overridden. friends list must be up to date! we will allow a window of one week before issuing warnings. members added during the last week of the month are exempt from updating for that month.

?
credits
when claiming credits, you will be claiming an artist's entire body of work to keep things simple.

should we deem any credits unfit for the face being used, we will address it in your screened post before adds.

?
tl;dr
we know this is a lot of information to digest, and while speed bumps are a given, we apprecite your patience and willingness to come along for the ride.

first and foremost, we are aiming to provide an inclusive and friendly space where everyone is comfortable, engaged, and willing to tip toe out of their comfort zone for something new. if we're lucky, we'll provide a fresh environment with an unconventional premise to keep things intersting. thank you for giving us a chance!

be kind, interact with the group, and keep a safe space by refraining from bullying, hate speech, and line blurring. respect each other and have fun!

there's no such thing as going too big or being too much. please be respectful and discuss darker themes with the mods, keep trigger warnings visible (no hovers!), and do not include people in scenarions without their consent. most importantly, keep all drama ic.

we want to operate under the assumption that the entertainment agency promotes a healthy work environment.

?
extras
with the premise of the community keeping everyone in a close proximity, we will have an ic group chat for our members. tracking this post is not required, but participation is encouraged.

we will be hosting frequent plot posts for rehearsals and tour events and encourage our members to host to their hearts' content.

expect blind items, tmz-esque posts, and prompts similar to vogue's 'in the bag', 'beauty secrets', and '73 questions'! we encourage any/all contribution to the cause.

we will be posting inverview questions for members to answer as an activity option. there is also the option of member run interviews, podcasts, and variety shows. we want to encourage fun and creative updates beyond moodboards and playlists (although they're also acceptable).

with au already being a huge part of our community lore, we are open to the possibility of supernatural happenings. however, this will not be the main focus. there will be community-wide plot posts and prompts for possible hauntings/au scenarios, but participation in these events are not required. please operate with discrepancy and do not involve unwilling participants in your shenanigans.
