Sometimes there's a character or group we take with us everywhere, just like a kid and their stuffed animal as a kid. Although this time... There's some rules about that. Beasts of Beyond wants to prevent plagiarism at all costs, but not prevent that safe and at home feeling. After all, reminiscing on that past nostalgia is enthralling. So here is a short guide on what you can do to follow our rules and avoiding stealing other works!

— Any mention of groups off-site or within your personal world must be changed/renamed.

— If you can prove you wrote the entirety of another group off-site, you may be permitted to include them on-site. Please message staff for details.
— Any and all aspects of this are also true to taking groups off-site, otherwise it is considered plagiarism and can have consequences.

Bringing over groups to BoB
— Groups from previous websites or worlds cannot be brought over word-for-word as that is plagiarism and can cause legal issues.

Please also provide a new spin on the group to make it stand out from it's previous state. — If you can prove you wrote the entirety of another group off-site, you may be permitted to include them on-site. Please message staff for details.
