enablemeplz | July EMP Meme

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.

Horatio Hornblower ➣ Hornblower (1998)

seeking
Memes & PSLs with canonmates and/or characters from similar universes, both shipping and gen. Of the members of his own cast, I only ship him with Archie, but if there's chemistry between Horatio and a male character who isn't in his canon I'm down to discuss shipping! I'm mostly interested in writing him in his own era, but I'm not totally opposed to modern AUs.

preferences & ideas
I enjoy threads based on interpersonal drama, especially ones that elaborate on canon dynamics or events. Texting threads are also fun!

GENERAL IDEAS: Life onboard the Indy! Stuff taking place during the quarantine in S01E02, the realities of combat on the mainland in #4, maybe shore leave or the drama of a major storm. Maybe also Horatio having to learn to ride? His level of skill extends to staying in the saddle on a reasonably well behaved animal, but he's not good at it overall and is rather self-conscious about his riding abilities (or, rather, his lack thereof).

FOR ARCHIE: Ship or gen! For shipping, slow-burn/will-they-won't-they are faves, as are situations in which both parties think their feelings are unrequited and don't want to risk losing the friendship (but things inevitably start heading closer to a romantic relationship anyway). Lots of possibilities for their time in El Ferrol, especially while Archie is recuperating from his attempt at self-starvation and Horatio's spending pretty much all of his time at his bedside - I think that in any interpretation that holds his feelings for Archie to extend beyond platonic, El Ferrol was the point at which Horatio's attachment to him progressed from "really, really fancying his best friend" to "in love". Stuff early in their friendship in which Horatio's still sort of figuring out his feelings for Archie (and perhaps the same for Archie himself) could also be fun.

FOR PELLEW: Father-son dynamic! Maybe Horatio does something that leaves Pellew disappointed in him but it's not something that he can technically be punished for, which puts him in an awkward position as Horatio's CO, or needs to come to him for advice and doesn't know how to do so.

FOR CLAYTON/SIMPSON/STYLES: Threads taking place onboard the Justinian pre-duel as Horatio tries to establish his place in the pecking order amidst the growing conflict are of particular interest here, as are threads that revolve around tensions getting higher during the quarantine, or maybe one taking place in El Ferrol.

FOR MAJ. EDRINGTON: Getting to know each other, and establishing a working partnership. I think that by the end of #4 Horatio feels fairly neutrally toward him, leaning on the direction of thinking well of him, and it's a pity we didn't see more interactions between the two. Threads that fill in the gaps onscreen or perhaps an alternate timeline in which the mainland fighting stretches on longer than expected are both of intererst.

Feel free to toss your own ideas my way as well! Preferred contact is PMing this journal.
