Fancy a night of peace and relaxation under the arbor? Hoping to find that new tome to add to your colection? Or were you a weary wanderer who was led here by flickering spirits? Regardless of how or why we welcome you to our humble abode.
The Weeping Willow is a library café located in the depths of The Shroud that is host to a plethora of all kinds of books! From fiction to nonfiction, histories and arts throughout the ages, rare and not so rare tomes gathered from travels in decrepit dungeons, and mayhap some esoterica on the more exotic articles (though you may have to ask for those). Books are available for purchase, borrowing, and trade.We are also open to any donations of YOUR works!Our café is located downstairs beyond the bookshelf partition to where you will be greeted by our lovely arboreal display and our even lovelier staff! Our menu is a jack-of-all-trades mix of drinks, treats, and meals that will sate any appetite. How else would the Resident Pumpkin Man eat?So please come and enjoy yourself under the boughs of our Willow!
[1] BE KIND & COURTEOUS
It is expected that you treat everyone with the same amount of respect and consideration that you'd want to receive. There is no room in this venue for unsolicited negative comments, rudeness, bullying, threats, harassment, name-calling or any slurs, and drama mongering. This sort of behavior can warrant being kicked or banned.At the end of the day, you are liable for what you say and do. Consider what you're saying and how it's being said. If it is not helpful, needed, or productive then do not comment![2] THIS IS A SAFE SPACE
Under no circumstances are things such as homophobia, racism, sexism, transphobia, ableism, xenophobia, triggering, or otherwise offensive content acceptable. We encourage an educate-first approach to certain topics however we will remove individuals that demonstrate blatantly ignorant or disruptive behavior before or after the fact. Malice under the guise of an opinion will not shield you from consequence, such malice will neither be entertained nor subject to debate.→ Refrain from religious or political talk. There are better spaces online to have this discussion, this is not one of them!→ Be respectful of others' expressed discomfort. If someone is uncomfortable about the topic at hand, please respect that and move on.This is encouraged to be used when a subject has reached an uncomfortable level. If there is any issue that occurs between another patron, moderator, or even myself please let us know. The last thing we want is for someone to mask their woes for the sake of not hurting others.→ This is a SFW venue! Flirting and coy banter is accepted, but continuous explicit talk or straight up ERP is not allowed and will result in being blocked, asked to leave (or as of 7.0 ejected entirely).→ We reserve the right to remove any users deemed to be a threat to the safety of our community, be it confirmation of behavior from zoophilia or pedophilia.[3] BE RESPECTFUL TO STAFF
→ Refrain from mini-modding or "impersonating" a staff member. This will not increase your chances of becoming staff, in fact, it may decrease your chances.→ Ensure you are using the appropriate tone and language when talking to us. We don't need respect nor do we need to be liked. We may make decisions that you may disagree with or dislike, but remember that you can be frustrated without being mean. Please be constructive and clear when we need to address something. If you are concerned about the behavior of a staff member, please approach an admin privately.→ Never reach out to Moderators privately to discuss reports, bans or ban appeals, or other moderation issues. All moderation decisions are made as a group, so we must all be able to see the entirety of the conversation in one place to be able to make an accurate ruling.[4] DO NOT SHARE PERSONAL INFO ABOUT YOURSELF OR OTHERS
While our moderation team does their best to keep this a safe community, this is still the internet. You need to keep yourself safe too. We ask that you refrain from sharing your full real name, your address, exact location, phone numbers, or any other identifying details.→ For their safety, you should never share the names, faces, or other identifying information about minors in your life.→ Never share your password with other users. I nor my staff will never ask you for your personal Discord or FFXIV information.[5] SUBMISSION RULES
As a venue we encourage any and all to come share their works with our community through our #📗𝐔𝐬𝐞𝐫-𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 page on our Discord so it is imperative that we lay some basic rules.{5.1} Share What You Wish!
The content that you submit does NOT have to be IC it can be a writing of a different game, franchise, or even your own original work! We want everyone to be as creative as possible when it comes to their submissions so share away! If it is an IC submission please add your signature!{5.2} Keep it Clean
We want to keep this community as organized as possible so we ask that we separate the SFW writings from the NSFW writings and that all of the latter are labeled as such. If your work has questionable content it will be reviewed by our staff and deemed if it is good for our library. If so yay, if not then appropriate actions will be taken.{5.3} Be Kind and Have Fun
An echo of Rule 1, but also adding to acknowledge that those who share their works may not feel the most confident. We ask that we be courteous to those who share their work, don't be THAT guy who makes fun of fanfic writing. Like we're literally Roleplaying c'mon.
