Welcome to The United Literates, or TUL! We hope you enjoy your visit!

We're one of the largest all-genre, all-literate forums on the Zathyrus Networks, and we'd love to have you join! Our roleplays range from the fun to the mature, and are all member-run and created, extending from Fictional roleplays set in the past and future, to Real-Life and Fan-Fiction categories. In addition to roleplays, TUL also has a vibrant community of artists and writers, featured in The Cafe section of the website, who also love to do things out of character through our Lounge area.

Right now, you're viewing the forum as a guest, which means you only have limited access to the board and it's features. To join TUL and start roleplaying with us, all you have to do is click the link below, register, and pass through our applications process. So what are you waiting for?

Welcome to TUL and register today!

First of all, welcome to TUL! I hope you'll enjoy yourself here! If you have any questions PM one of the admins or staff members. (you can find a list of them here.)

  • Please register an account before posting an application.
  • When choosing an account name, please keep it literate. In Zetaboards you may use uppercase letters and spaces. Also, please refrain from using numbers. If you register with a name you do not want PM and admin and they will change it for you.
  • Provide a valid e-mail address when registering.
  • You must post an application in the Applications Board and be accepted before you can role play or chat on TUL.
  • Please do not post in any of our chat boards or role play boards before you are accepted. You may, however post in the Ask the Admins board if you have a question.

Rules on
Posting and Conduct


In order to keep a friendly community in TUL there are a few basic guidelines everyone should follow. But, to sum it all up, all we ask is for you to be friendly and considerate of staff and members alike.

  • Please limit the amount of cursing in out of character boards which have no mature warning sign on them.
  • If you have any mature content (anything PG-13+) you must put a warning sign somewhere in your topic, preferably at the top of your first post or in the topic description.
  • Be considerate of fellow members.
  • Do not harass or disrespect any member of TUL.
  • Posting of any extreme mature content anywhere on TUL is strictly prohibited.
  • If you have a complaint about a person, please PM an admin rather than post on the 'Suggestions board'.
  • All works posted on TUL are shared legal property of both TUL and their respective creators - you may not use this material with out explicit permission from either party, regardless of if you are a user or a guest.
  • You may, in no way, copy any aspect of TUL without written permission from Locke, or another head administrator.


    At TUL we try to keep an open mind and a loose set of rules; however, we will not tolerate anyone disrespecting or insulting any of our members or staff members. So, please be considerate.

Rules for
Role Playing


So you've read all the other rules, and now you're ready to role play, right? Well, almost! Just glance over some of our role playing rules before you get started. As a side note: we move inactive role plays into our 'Archives'. If at any time you want something reopened PM a member of the Moderation Crew or an admin.

  • As with all other aspects of TUL, be considerate!
  • Please do not insult anyone if they are posting illiterate or semi-literate posts. Rather, PM a mod and let them take care of it.
  • Please try to remain literate throughout your role play.
  • While there is no rule on length of post, we recommend you try to keep your posts at two or more paragraphs in order to encourage quality of posts at TUL.
  • If planning out a roleplay that will include mature content or slash, we ask that you indicate so with an [m] or [//] in your topic title.

Rules on
CBox Chatting


All members are allowed to chat on the CBox. (found at the bottom of TUL's layout). However there are some rules you should keep in mind. To, really, sum it all up, all we ask is for you to be friendly and considerate of staff and members alike.

  • No excessive cursing. (A damn here, a damn there is okay. Just nothing extensive.)
  • No mature, offensive, profane or sexual material in conversations on the CBox.
  • No degrading, disregarding or bashing any member of TUL or TUL's staff.
  • Do not use another member's username on the CBox. (as in do not pretend to be someone else).
  • Please, if you have a suggestion about the site or critique it would be much better if you can PM a member of TUL's staff or make a topic in the Shout-out, rather then posting on the CBox as a staff member may not see your question and will be unable to respond to it.

Please keep in mind all of TUL's other general rules for the site. If you have any questions about these rules please contact moderator or administrator. Enjoy chatting!
