f.a.q.

what is moonsand?

Moonsand is a Houseki no Kuni (HnK, Land of the Lustrous) sand/musebox/dressing room. It is completely open access with no application or activity check system. Our goal is to provide a place where HnK players can find each other and access RP memes and prompts that are more directly tailored to the nature of the characters, without the formality or committment of a full game.

are only Hnk characters allowed?

All characters are welcome in Moonsand with the following caveat: given that this is an HnK musebox, all threads should incorporate aspects of the HnK canon in some way. We leave it up to players how they choose to accomplish this. AUing a character in as a gem or a Lunarian is a completely valid approach; so is leaving your character as they are and working within the setting.

so I can just join?

Yep. The mod team is here if anyone gets into any serious altercations. Other than that, we're very laissez-faire. We won't police the way you want to run your threads.

how does RP work here exactly?

Like bakerstreet, people post memes every so often, you'll post with a character you want to play, and then you tag in to anyone else. It's very straightforward. There is no consistent canon between threads or posts, unless players want to do that.

We also have world-state logs which function more like test-drive memes, where we outline an AU or a canon point in a post, and then you tag in as you would on a TDM. The only canon required in these threads is the world state; everything else is individual and up to players.

can I post a meme or world state?

Absolutely! We want this place to be largely player-driven. You can, theoretically, post whatever you want. Developing your own world state or meme is encouraged, and so is posting one from somewhere else (although we ask that you try to make it HnK-specific, since we're not trying to duplicate bakerstreet or dear-player). You could also post a set of individual prompts for your character in a single post, if you wanted to do that. It's up to you.

how do I contact a moderator?

We have a contact page with information and instructions on how to do that here.
