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.

Right now, I'm looking for shippy and/or light-hearted stuff for these characters--I've got a lot of heavy threads going on, so I would love to have a little more levity to balance things out. I've written out some deets on each of these characters, so I'm hoping that'll be helpful:

RUTH ALDINE

• tl;dr: An unpopular nerd who sees the future, does psychic stuff, talks with a weird stutter, and likes Watchmen. On the quiet side, but when she opens up, she's got a smart mouth. (Recently, she committed suicide in an issue of Uncanny X-Men, but we can obviously ignore/AU around it, or play from some malleable Other Point, haha.)
• Shipping: OTA with a preference for guys ~18-25. She does best with people who're also capital-W Weird, or at least who're willing to put up with weirdness from her. As far as canonical ships go, I'd love to find a David Haller and write Weird Stuff about what's been happening since they were dating.
• Other lighthearted stuff: Book clubs, small adventures (come with her to New Jersey, eat fried food), memory sharing, dreamwalking, astral projection strangeness, exploring NYC, trying to figure out what to give Professor Drake for Christmas. And seriously, weird shit--strange, everyday sorts of villains to investigate or fight especially.

LAURA KINNEY

• tl;dr: Wolverine's clonedaughter--she's good at stabbing things and bad at understanding what feelings are. Loves spicy food, thrill-seeking, and feeling like she's people. I prefer to play her either around X-Force or around All-New Wolverine, timeline-wise; if you aren't canon-familiar, it's basically a difference of whether you want her feral or functional.
• Shipping: OTA with a preference for guys ~18-25. Goes well with patient characters, tbh, and with characters who aren't going to expect her to be someone she's not, especially when she's young and stabby struggling to figure out how to deal with shit everyone else already appears to know, like how to deal with having a crush on somebody. Also with angry people? She knows how to handle anger. As far as canonical ships go, I really like both Julian Keller and time-displaced!Scott Summers for her! The kinds of stuff I'd want to do with a Laura/Warren thread might be on the heavy side for now.
• Other lighthearted stuff: The trials and travails of schoolwork or eating a meal that isn't week-old pizza, taking care of someone who's mildly ill, trying something new to her, debating the merits of going to the beach. I'd love stuff with family or friends, especially Logan-Daken-Gabby and the people she's gone to school with but not always stayed connected to on-page, like Cessily.

GABBY KINNEY

• tl;dr: The only Wolverine family member who actually enjoys being a Wolverine, haha. Gabby's ~13-14, has an actual wolverine for a pet, and really likes headbands. She's everything her clonesister Laura never got to be--but she's also someone who's Seen Some Shit and isn't afraid to threaten violence or, you know, cut a guy's Achilles tendon where necessary.
• Shipping: OTA with a preference for girls her age. I'm interested in "do you like me, check yes or no" kinds of "dating," mixed up with the fact that she 1. is still really unsure about this like-liking stuff 2. is also a (repentant) murderer who gets into horrific amounts of danger sometimes.
• Other lighthearted stuff: Friendships! Family adventures! Fighting people without rampant murder! Golden Girls marathons! Gabby is great for textposts especially. And she's great with characters of a variety of ages--her best friend is Deadpool, after all.

RITA FARR

• tl;dr: If Norma Desmond could turn into the Blob, you'd get Rita Farr, a woman who might look ~30 but is actually pushing 100 thanks to A Weird Accident that happened back in the 50s. She's prickly and hates change and feels a lot of guilt and shame over her past, but she's slowly becoming a functional adult with a great capacity to care for others. I'm as happy to play her from the early episodes as the later ones, though I'd love to explore where she's at in the final episode of the season!
• Shipping: M/F, ideally age 30+--but honestly, Rita's the most difficult one on this list as far as shipping goes. Like a hothouse orchid, she requires reams of patience and precisely the right care and keeping (though flirting, at least, is easy enough!). I'd love to try it, but it would be sloooooooowburn.
• Other lighthearted stuff: FRIEND PATROL. Getting snippy and particular about stupid shit, getting into stupid arguments, teacher acquaintances at work, going undercover as a Rita Farr impersonator at a convention, borrowing elements from Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol run (or anywhere else, for that matter), strange villains, nonsensical fights, heartfelt conversations, movie marathons?

For all these characters, I'm super into cross-canon as well as canon, and these ideas are just jumping-off points. Please imagine "et cetera" at the end of every list, haha.
