January EMP Meme

[enablemeplz]

ENABLEMEPLZ meme goes up on the last Saturday of every month FOR GAME ADS: ➤ Put an ad up with the characters / crew / pairings / fetish you want for your game under the correct game header. This meme is primarily going to be focused on DWRP games but IJ and LJ games are allowed. ➤ PLEASE NOTE A RULE CHANGE HERE. ABSOLUTELY NO obnoxious coding (no font size > size 4 or 3 "big" tags, no oversized banners (they must be 250px in height or less), no blinking text, no obnoxious table html that doesn't collapse easily, no sparklies, no large pictures). Use all the colors you like, but please remember 3 "big" tags is the limit and that's only for headers or title text rather than for all the text in an ad. FOR GAME QUESTIONS: ➤ RPers interested in a game can create a header for the game and ask questions about that game that aren't easy to find on faqs, such as the actual pace vs. what's listed/what kind of plots are run/if the game leans more towards plotty or slice of life/if a game leans more towards network or logs, etc. Both anon questions and anon answers are welcome in this section just like in the rest of the meme. ➤ This thread is not for speaking about wank or drama in a game. There are anoncomms that exist for that. This thread is specifically for general questions about a game that rpers want to get perspective on from players already in the game. Answers can be slightly negative (such as saying app response is slow or that the plots are repetitive or similar things) but this should at least be worded politely. Unnecessary vitriol, any mention of personal drama or wank, or mod teams/individual mods/players being singled out, will be screened and/or deleted. FOR CHARACTER ADS: ➤ Put up an ad about the characters you are offering. For PSL/1-on-1 ads, there is a separate subthread but for character ads for games, post directly to the meme post. Others will comment to you with the games/casts they want you to join. ➤ There is a "Find a Castmate" section, where you can talk about a cast you play in at a game, and try to lure people to join it. Not all games post to the meme or have a "wanted" section, so players that want to tempt people to their cast on their own can use this section for it. Please format this the same as the PSL/1-on-1 section, where you post the canons in your subject. For the actual text of the ad you must use the "Find a Castmate" form provided at the bottom of this post so that these ads don't get huge. When listing who's currently in a cast, please do this in sentence form (with commas) rather than in list form. ➤ ABSOLUTELY NO obnoxious coding, with the same rules as the Game Ads Section above. ➤ If you're recommending a game to someone, try to match your suggestion to their needs. It's okay if part of your game rec is copy-pasted (such as what the game's about), but at least some part of the rec must be personalized to their ad. Try not to recommend the same game to every single ad, either. Ad spam that isn't individualized in some way will also be screened. IN GENERAL: ➤ Don't be a dick. This isn't one of the anoncomms, so any snide comments or unnecessary commentary on the RP plans of others will be screened. MOD CONTACT: If there's trouble, tell me HERE, please!

comic book ladies!!

[spellcheck]

OFFERING
↳ lois lane (DC comics)
↳ janet van dyne (marvel comics)
↳ jean grey (marvel comics)
... and any of these ladies on this v un-updated list.

this is just kind of a general "i want to do all the things and want all the cr" offering, to be honest. i love interesting cr and this is the easiest way to find people who are looking for the same thing. so, overall, i'd love love love canonmates but am 100% open to cross-canon, provided the characters have a good dynamic (similar histories, similar personalities, hell, opposites attract??). i am not the greatest at writing action scenes, but am willing to try. i am a sucker for dumb, slice-of-life type stuff because... i play a LOT of superhero (or superhero-adjacent) characters and they've got enough drama going on in canon. i have a habit of playing MULTIPLE VERSIONS of a lot of these characters, so let me know if you're looking for something specific. i'm also happy to handwave details and merge mediums tbh.

i cannot promise anything shippy. i am more inclined to write canon ships and to turn canon friendships into romance, but i can't force chemistry (it's just not FUN). i am SLOW and i realize that's annoying, but i will backtag forever. i lose and forget about tags sometimes, so if i've ever dropped the ball on something you were enjoying, pls feel free to poke me.

let's plot! let's be pals! hit me up here or hit me up over at scottbummers on plurk. :3

so I would be really interested in trying some low-key stuff with Lois and Iris (or Linda Park, if that's more your jam), if that's up your alley? Mostly along the lines of them both being reporters in a v superhero-heavy universe (and of course, dating/being married to a couple of heroes, depending on timelines).

Point being, they just seem like they'd be really rad together, and I don't mind slow but steady tags. You'd be in good company there. c:

[spellcheck]

oh, absolutely! i don't know if you have anything in mind or if you just want to, like, throw 'em at each other and see how it goes, but i am all for a potential friendship and camaraderie between these two!

do you have a preference on timelines or even ~universes? i'm always down to handwave shit and just play comic lois, but i do have a smallville-based lois that i haven't had the chance to pull out if you're interested.

[eloquentness]

Throwing them at each other sounds like the best/easiest way to go about it, honestly! Otherwise, off the top of my head, it would be Iris bemoaning work assignments and/or dealing with the negatives of being a journalist in a superhero world (ie, "what do you mean, I have to ask the Flash who he's dating?!").

No preference whatsoever! Handwaving works just fine for me if that's easier. I only have DCTV-flavor Iris, but if you ever need any of the comic-verse speedster, I can whip 'em out too.

[spellcheck]

SOMEHOW I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO REPLY TO THIS, BUT: throwing them at each absolutely works for me. do you have iris up anywhere that might be appropriate? otherwise, if you happen to see my lois around, feel free to tag!

and handwaving works FINE for me tbh

Re: comic book ladies!!

[pyms]

i dont bust out my hank pym account a lot but i feel like i should when i see someone play jan -- i never see anyone play jan god. hello!!

[pixiesized]

ahaha A SHAME, REALLY. SHE'S WONDERFUL. but, yes, hi! hello!!

[pyms]

SHE IS. MY QUEEN BAE. tho i know they have a complicated history and honestly i can only play hank from certain periods of his really dumb convoluted canon (MOSTLY WHEN HE'S A SAD OVER CAFFEINATED OLD MAN TRYING TO DO GOOD), i'd be 💯 down for them being good support for each other

[pixiesized]

i am honest to god just thrilled whenever i run into someone who happens to know who she is?? i've all but officially retired her just because i rarely get a chance to *do* anything with her.

i tend to loosely follow current canon for simplicity sake, but i am absolutely down to pick 'em up from wherever tbh

[pyms]

yeah i rarely do anything with hank anymore because his current stuff is...... just why marvel.

but feel free to ping me when/if you wanna do anything! i'm generally good with anything before he dies/flies into the sun/merges with ultron and comes back to wreck havoc comics why
