+SparkInYou.org is a forum that has recently sprung up online. How you may have gotten here is up to you -- you might have fallen through to the Sparked side of ZipLok(('The Most 'Happening' Video Site in Citropolis!' -- ZipLok's tagline)); you could have received an anonymous DM on a new messaging service; or perhaps you’ve been determinedly poking around the web, searching for answers about the strange powers no one’s explained to you.

+Either way, now that you’re here, you can be assured that this is a safe space. Going by your name and giving your age to other characters is not only encouraged, but has no risks -- for the dangers we associate with sharing these details or others like them (for example, the government or non-Sparked outsiders using your information to track you) will not be present in game.

+Recently, Marcus -- the moderator on the forum -- announced the inception of monthly "active hours": three hours a month of dedicated forum time, where members are encouraged to turn up; hoping to increase the sense of community, and let people really get to know each other. Sessions will reflect this event, with the first session being the first active hours period.
