Durriken, we have a rule here about no fanfiction (and rp can get too close to fanfiction to be comfortable), because DD herself runs the board and can't read any fanfiction. This means we have to be strict about it, so that she can't be told she stole an idea from someone else here. Non-YW fanfiction isn't allowed here either - only links. Similarly non-fanfiction fiction isn't allowed here for the same reason. When the author is running the forums you need to be more strict about fiction rules.
This does mean that the backstory is probably too close to fanfiction to be comfortable, and you should make sure not to include anything more than that. There were cases where less than that was deemed to much if I recall correctly.
I'd suggest mentioning there's a twist, and it has to do with the LP, and then just including the backstory at the site. The people who'd look are the ones interested anyways, and the people who wouldn't, are likely to not join anyways because of just not being interested in, or having time for this RP. You're unlikely to lose people because of not having the backstory here, and you would be following the rules of the boards, and not risking getting DD in trouble.
So you know the board FAQs (and rules) are avaiable here.
