Newsletter 02: Important information for this project

Singles:
Singles will consist of three songs (4 songs for a debut single or special single). On the forum, post which songs you would like to participate in and I will add you. Some songs may have a member limit, so you may not placed in a certain song. After the first single, which I will choose, there will be a suggestion thread where you tell me songs you want to have the group sing. Then there will be a vote to determine the next single. Singles are sign-up based, meaning you choose what songs you want to be in. There will be some songs listed that you MUST participate in to be in the single. 5 days will be given to sign-up for a single.

Suggesting Song:
While one single is in the works, there will be a suggestion thread (under the singles section) where you will suggest a couple of songs for the vote. If I do not receive enough suggestions I will pick songs to go into the vote. If I receive too many, I will pick from the songs that were suggested to go into the Vote. I will generally only have 10 songs per vote.

Voting:
This thread will be available once I have enough suggestions. YOU MUST VOTE FOR 3 SONGS! When I feel like I've gotten enough votes -or- the current single is finish, the vote will be closed and the TOP 3 songs will be in the next single. If there is a TIE between many songs, since no one has voted for the tie-breaker, I will choose what song will be added to the next single.

The lyrics:
All lyrics will be custom coded. There will be leads and back-ups, if you are not a lead in one single, you may be in another. I will try to give everyone at lease 1 solo per song though.

Deadlines:
Deadlines will be one month after lyrics are posted. If you cannot make a deadline, let me know and I will give you an extension of 2 weeks. if that is not enough time, we will then talk about it :3

Strikes:
If you do not turn in lines before the deadline and you do not let me know before-hand that you cannot turn them in then you will receive a strike. Obtain three strike and you're out, just like in baseball. You will be kicked out of the project and will receive a message from me letting you know so. Only under certain circumstances will you be allowed back in after you get my message. You may audition for the next generation when the time comes.

Inactive members
A member will be considered inactive when they have not signed into the forum in 3 weeks. If a member is inactive for 6 weeks or has missed 2 single sign-ups because they have not logged in, they will no longer be a member of this project. A perfectly good spot in the group is being wasted if they do not participate at all. If this does happen, the member may re-audition for the next generation but depending on the situation with said member they may or may not make it in. Life happens though. If something comes up and you are unable to use the internet to check back, that is understandable and no consequence will be given.

Hiatus

if you know that you will be gone for like a vacation or something, let me know by posting in the Hiatus thread. Please let me know when you are leaving that you will need to go onto hiatus. If you plan to be back within a few weeks and there is a vote going on or one is about to start, you may let me know which songs you would want to vote for (from the suggested list) and what songs (if chosen for the single) you would like to participate in and you will be in the single if you wish. Please also tell me when you plan on coming back.You will be added to the hiatus list with the estimated date you will be joining us again.
