The Dark Perk Email List FAQ
There's a DP email list isn't there?
Yeppers, you heard right. How much mail will I get if I join? Not too much lately, usually you'll get at
least one a day, but it can spike to up to 30 or so. Wow, that's a lot of mail! Is digest available?
Yes! You're in luck, if you can't handle that much mail a day you can opt to be set
digest. In digest you will receive all the mail from the DP list in one easy to
handle daily post. Are there rules I'll need to learn and follow?
Well... not really. We allow fiction, jokes, comments, off topic remarks, pretty
much anything. What we don't allow is pretty common sense, no too adult
materials (we have minors on the list) no spamming and no flaming. Other than
that, it's all good :) If adult stuff isn't allowed, where can I post my raunchy Tracy/Lacroix love-fest story?!
Ah, worry not my dirty minded friend, there is a DP-adult list you can also join if the
mood strikes (paddles?) you. I keep hearing how much fun it is to be in the Dark Perks, why?
Well, we have a mighty propaganda machine! *eg* No, really. Why are the DP so much fun?
I personally think it's because we don't take ourselves very seriously and have a dark
tongue-in-cheek kind of humor that is just fun to play around with. Another reason
might be that we're in constant 'war-mode.' That's not to say we secretly attack
other factions during peace time, but our war universe fiction is produced year round and
things like: the bunny heads, DP Mansion and the demons show up in our everyday posts
too. Basically we just have fun all the time. I'm not a big fan of a 'dark' Tracy, can I still join?
Sure you can! The DP aren't about a dark or vampire Tracy, but just about a Tracy
who's intelligent and capable. If you like your Tracy as a ditz who can't be let
outside in the rain or she'll drown, or just wanted Tracy to die, well then, the DP
probably aren't for you. But if you like Tracy and think she was a neat character
with a lot of potential, you belong in the DP... even if you did think she was perky. ;-)
I belong to 5 other factions, can I still join the DP?
Of course! We have people from all over the FK spectrum on our list, from Cousins to
Ratpackers to Ravenettes, I don't think we don't have a faction represented. By all
means join the DP, you can still like other characters and be in other factions too.
Do I really have to love coffee, behead stuffed bunnies and wear dark pink if I join?
Yes. Just kidding! No, none of that stuff is mandatory, it's just
fun :) I'm convinced! How do I join? Go to
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DP-L/
and start the process by signing up for the DP list. It is a
restricted list so I, or one of my cohorts, will have to approve you. Hey! Why do I have to wait to be approved?! You jerk! Why can't I just sub myself, you fascist pig?!
Whoa there fella! Calm down! :) The reason it's a restricted list is to
keep the sense of 'family' on the list. If I have to approve everyone I know who
everyone is. When a new member joins not only do I add them to the list, I write
them a small introduction that lets everyone know we have a new member and greet
them. After that they can say a quick 'hi' and become a lurker, or jump right into
the ongoing debate of what Tracy really meant by saying the lab smelled like a
cherry air freshener. :) Oh, all right then... as long as you have a reason.
I do :) |
