December 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!

Diiiid someone say... Hankcon?! (You didn't, plot twist!)

I love this pairing so damn much, platonically as it appears in-game or shippy because I'm trash. What you mentioned is one of my favorite tropes for this pairing already (Hank's experience versus Connor's inexperience), with the added bonus of Connor coming to terms with actually having aspirations or desires of his own. I also really, really love the idea of matter-of-fact, analytical Connor coming up to butt against his human partner's less than logical array of emotions, particularly when those emotions deal with emotional or physical affection or attraction to Connor.

Other themes I like: post-revolution Connor's permanent job at DPD, Connor sustaining bodily injury in service of saving Hank, teaching Hank about android "physiology"/programming, others I can't think of atm.

I also tag once every few days so your pace is thumbs up. I love to bang around ideas ooc and cherrypicking fanart/fic ideas, one-shots, etc. and just writing whatever we feel like!

If any of this sounds good to you, hmu! I got a discord and plurk if that's more your style too.

All that sounds amazing! At the moment my first thought is that maybe we could start with Connor and Hank working together, maybe move into Connor getting hurt and then talking Hank through how to fix him, and then move into the shippy stuff from there? We could also start with Hank and Connor talking about whether Connor wants to make his current (as a temporary consultant, maybe? I read a fic where Fowler got around the current legal weirdnesses of employing androids by having Connor officially be a consultant until laws went through and thought it was clever) work with the DPD permanent, whether that's what Connor wants to do with his life, etc, if we wanted to establish Connor not really being able to wrap his head around having his own wants just yet.

Discord (or plurk, or dreamwidth messages, whichever you prefer) sounds like a great place to talk out whether that would work and all the details. I'm xiilnek #1435 on there, and xiilnek on plurk. I'm glad my little ad caught your eye!
