How do I add a group to this list?
How do I update/edit/remove my OCT listing if there's been a change?

I have a question about a specific group OR I'm not sure if my character/story is acceptable OR are there any OCTs based on [blank]?
What is this group? How do I join this OCT?
We are not an OCT ourselves, but a directory of OCTs and OCLs that will hopefully make it easier for you to find the group that's right for you! Please look through our upcoming OCTs and OCLs if you're looking for something to join. If you'd like to know more about who we are, an About Us page is coming soon.
Wait, I'm new at this. Can you explain how OCTs and OCLs work?
We have a new guide to OCTs, which you can find here: An Updated Guide to OCTs! Feel free to ask us about any other questions you have!
Can I help this group in any way?
We are not currently recruiting staff from the public. You can, however, let us know if you spot any errors or out-of-date information! We will make an announcement when there are more opportunities to pitch in.
I have a question about a specific group OR I'm not sure if my character/story is acceptable OR are there any OCTs based on [blank]?
We are not directly involved in the groups on our list. Often, different groups have entirely different rules, and you should direct all questions you have towards the group you're interested in. What one group might reject might be perfectly acceptable in another. In the same vein, we do not have our listings memorized, so it's often faster to just scroll through them yourself then to ask us what's available in a certain genre or fandom. [[As this group is brand new there's a good chance we DO have our listing memorized at the moment, but it's still faster if you look yourself.]]

Please keep us notified on your OCT's status! If we do not receive updated information, your listing will be incorrect, and repeated lack of updates past any given dates (eg. audition opening dates, audition deadlines, etc.) will result in removal of your listing!
