First of all, let me say thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to visit the site and apparently we've held your attention long enough to have led you here. With that said, let me map things out for you so you're on the same page as we are over what the purpose of this site is and what we're looking to accomplish.
BROKEN WEBS is an advanced writing community, but ignore that label as we're welcoming to ANYONE who wants to try their hand at the site. We don't believe in turning anyone away that wants to participate in the activity as that's just cruel. As long as you make an effort, that's all we ask. If at any point during the site you feel overwhelmed with the writing ability of other members, please reach out to us and we'll do our best to make sure we figure out how to remedy the issue. Majority of the site has been around each other in one way or another for almost a decade, so we're considered a 'clique' of sorts, but we're always looking to branch out and network!
Nonetheless, BROKEN WEBS is (primarily) an original Spider-Man Universe based RPing site that takes place with Peter Parker being 28 and having Spider-Man experience for toughly 10-12 years. Because we're using an alternative/original universe, things get a bit tricky so stay with me here as I try to explain what we consider cannon -- and what's not. Anything Spider-Man based from Marvel is accepted, however due to the timeline we're using [since we're jumping into a pre-made world] much of the rogue gallery can be said to exist. Venom exists, Norman Osborn does too- but that's not saying that whoever you decide to write as has to- that's where the freedom comes in. Do you want to use someone like The Scorpion or Mysterio but want to build them from nothing? Acceptable. Do you want to have them established as criminals and a thorn in Spidey's side? Also cool, just make sure you fill out the registration template correctly so we know how to treat the character in terms of the history with other villains and of course with Web-Head.
The site's goal is to establish our own entry into the Marvel/SpiderVerse, to cement characters and continue stories of those already mentioned. Does Dr. Octopus still live a life of crime? Has he even appeared as Doc Ock, or is he still famed professor Otto Octavius? Is Venom still out to sabotage Spidey's life? These questions are those that we want to answer! We want to take what Spider-Man has gave us and branch out, we want to expand his universe because of how awesome it is! The reason we decided to walk this path is because of how great the characters are, especially when creative minds are allowed to tinker with what's already made to create something completely different.
One of the major things we look for is how you're looking to portray the character you're interested in running. What that means is that yes, you could definitely go the boring route and take a person like The Vulture and keep him the same from what we've seen in Homecoming or through the variations we've come across in the comics.. or, you can take some and add some. Make him a different man, someone that's more complicated that what we've come to know to allow yourself to tap into creative energy! I ask that you try and put your own spin on the characters as much, but at the same time don't change what makes them special. If you need help with this process, please.. DM me and we'll work out the details.
All and all, the most important part of it all is to have fun. Like I said above, we're a group of people for the most part that comes from a different area of RPing, but we can all get along and tell a new story, a legendary one. There's no reason why we can't bond as a community, yeah we played a different variation of the game, but in the end.. we're all in it for the same reason -- for the writing and to tell a great.. great story. If you've got any questions, do feel free to DM me [The Bat] as I am the Admin and my name is Jus.
Once again, thanks for checking out our site and we hope that you come along for the ride! As, the main question for the time being is.. there's BROKEN WEBS all across the way...
.. how will it affect you?
