January 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 either frozen or screened (based on what seems right based on the content).

FOR CHARACTER ADS:

Put up an ad about the characters you are offering. For PSL 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 section, where you post your character's 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.

There is a "Find Crosscanon" section, where you can talk about a character you play and and desired crosscanon for that character. Please make sure this is not too generalized a search, because just wanting general crosscanon can be accomplished with the other sections of the meme. This is for specific characters or character types you're looking for. In the subject, please list the "Looking for [canon you're looking for]" rather than your character's canon. If looking for a character type, list the character type in as few words as possible. Do not make the subject huge or I'll screen your comment. For the actual text of the ad you must use the "Find Crosscanon" form provided at the bottom of this post so that these ads don't get huge. This section is only for game crosscanon as in the psl section people can list their preferences.

Examples of crosscanon you can search for: You play The Flash from DC Comics and your dream CR is fellow speedster Quicksilver from Marvel. Or you might play a witch and want cr with other witches in general. Or maybe you play a good character messed up by evil parents and want to play against a villain character you know has evil parents, because you know it'd lead to some interesting negative CR.

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 frozen or screened. Keep in mind this needs to be more specific than "this game has easy AC like you're asking for but meets none of your other requirements." Make sure you're advertising games that might click with that specific character, where a few elements fit what they're looking for. You should be thinking about the story reasons of how the character might click with the game.

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 frozen or screened.

Important note: IP logging has turned on due to multiple instances past and present of problem players trying to return to the dwrp community via emp after being banned other places, so I'll be IP logging from now on, and will compare notes with the rpa and wg mods (as well as game mods) where appropriate if it seems like someone that has been mass banned. I will not pay attention to IPs otherwise. I don't care what people like playing or who's who. So please feel comfortable to keep doing your thing, anon or otherwise. The knowledge will only be used for really egregious problem cases.

atla, beastars, botw, demons' bond, castlevania, return to labyrinth, pride & prejudice, voltron

[personal profile] a_sharp_wit 2020-01-26 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
offering:
Elizabeth Bennet, Pride and Prejudice
TLDR; Taken from the 1995 A&E version, Jennifer Ehle as PB. Elizabeth is twenty, hails from 1812 England and is the second of five sisters with a marriage-minded mother. She is spunky, opinionated and witty to boot.
⤑ I'm mostly looking for a Mr. Darcy for shipping shenanigans, either set pre-series, during or post. I'm fine with exploring AUs and canon divergences. I'll entertain cross-canon ideas with her as well!

Juno, Beastars
TLDR; Juno is a 16 (17 in the current manga chapters) year old female gray wolf in a world where anthro animals are divided into two categories - carnivore and herbivore. Juno is a self-confident young woman who goes for what she wants whole-heartedly and without fear while also forgetting how to filter her words before they exit her brain and out of her mouth. She can be cunning and a little manipulative when she sees the need as well as a touch greedy.
⤑ I'm particularly looking for a Louis for shipping shenanigans from heat of the moment to slow-burn and everything in between. I'm also interested in exploring OT4s with the addition of a Legosi and a Haru.

Mai, Avatar: the Last Airbender
TLDR; Mai is known for her apathetic attitude and cold demeanor. She's softened some since the end of the war but emotions are still a tricky topic for her.
⤑ No real preferences, I'm open to pretty much anyone!

Maria Renard, Castlevania
TLDR; Maria was taken in by her distant relative Richter Belmont and his wife Annette following her rescue from Dracula's castle as a child. Since then she's grown into her abilities to summon the the Four Celestial Beasts and become a vampire hunter in her own right. She's self-confident with a big, bold attitude that hasn't diminished a bit since her childhood.
⤑ No real preferences here, I'm open to anyone!

Romelle, Voltron: Legendary Defender
TLDR; Romelle is one of a number of surviving Alteans, descendants of the Alteans who were away from home at the time of their planet's destruction. These Alteans were drawn out and eventually kept in secluded safety on a colony constructed by Lotor. While the rest of the colony looks to Lotor as a savior, Romelle's doubts blossom and begin to grow as Lotor takes chosen Alteans away to supposed other colony. Romelle can be described as impetuous, ready to fight at the drop of a hat and all around a rather loud and bombastic character.
⤑ I'm particularly looking for any other Voltron characters for shenanigans. I'm really fond of AUs with Romelle and would particularly welcome an AU Sven for shenanigans..

Sarah Williams, Return to Labyrinth
TLDR; Once there was a young girl who in a fit of anger wished her baby brother away to the Goblin King - and that isn't the end of the story. Sarah is twenty-eight, a highschool english teacher and now an aspiring writer. She's grown up somewhat jaded and cynical, often avoiding feelings with jokes and snark. After thirteen years of being separated from her dreams and passions, she's learning how to dream again, hope and open up to others.
⤑ I'd love to bounce Sarah off of mythological/supernatural beings such as fae, fairy tale/folklore creatures and such in particular. She had a deep love of fairy tales and myths as a teenager and getting to experience such as an adult would be very intriguing for her. I also would love to do more urban fantasy sorts of PSLs with her (in particular I have the idea of Sarah being a paranormal investigator of sorts / one who deals with fae and pixies and all things mythological as well as AUs where she's been a changling the whole time or becomes a fae over time).
I'm also very interested in doing AUs involving elements of the Labyrinth and other Henson works (such as the Dark Crystal) alongside other 80's fantasy works (such as Legend, The Last Unicorn, etc).

Zelda, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
TLDR; As a Princess of Hyrule, Zelda strove to awaken the power to seal away darkness that every Zelda in her lineage possessed before her. Time and time again she failed and in the end the power didn't awaken until everything she cared about and loved was nearly stripped away from her. The defeat of Calamity Ganon finds her now striving to help heal Hyrule of it's scars. She's a scholar at heart, a researcher in practice and someone who loves to learn.
⤑ I'm particularly looking for an BOTW!Link for platonic and romantic shipping, either pre-Calamity or post-game. I also welcome other Links as well as other Zeldas and anyone else from the LOZ franchise.

Yukina Suzumori, Demons' Bond (also known as Toki no Kizuna)
TLDR; Yukina is a pure-blood demon (or oni) hailing from 1599 Japan just before the Battle of Sekigahara begins. Yukina was raised rather cloistered within a little mountain village attended by three Elders in her community and acts as the guard for Princess Yase. Her knowledge of humans is rather limited to what she knows from casual observation via going to their villages to trade and such. Even her knowledge on other demons/oni and socializing with them is extremely limited as well. She's good hearted though and deeply loyal to both Yase-hime and demonkind in general.
⤑ I'd love to explore either demon/oni society more in-depth or Yukina slowly learning more about human society. I'm extremely open to AUs as well.

preferences:
interested in: Memes, oneshots and PSLs are all welcome!

I also enjoy such things as AUs, families of all types, slice of life/domestic shenanigans as well as horror and survival in general (mixed with some hurt/comfort). I particularly like exploring the darker, grittier sides of fairy tales. I draw the line at guro however and anything involving eye trauma.

shipping/smut: F/M 21+ only for Sarah. I would prefer if smut came after CR buildup with crosscanon pairings. General threads, romantic threads, whatever. I'm willing to dive straight into smut with canon pairings but I'd love build up there too and indulge in cutesy fluff moments. I also love the whole soulmates (tattoos, glowing chests, etc.) and mates tropes as well when it comes to shipping/smut.

about me: EST (GMT - 5) timezone. I try to do at least one round a tags a day but can be slower with memes/psls at times. If you're interested feel free to PM or comment here and we can chat!

Hello!

I have Crow here, he is a fae OC who was banished from faerie for something he didn't do, he seems like he might be fun to bounce off Sarah in some way?

Oooh, I do love me some OCs. Is there anything you're really keen on exploring with him?
notguiltree: (Default)

[personal profile] notguiltree 2020-01-28 09:31 am (UTC)(link)

So I have a couple of thoughts, either more canon Sarah where Crow just sort of rocks up in her life and she has to deal with fae and things being a thing again (well, that or a crazy person who just keeps showing up) and he's trying to get used to the mortal world, oooor if you wanted to go with paranormal investigator Sarah, maybe Crow turns up to ask her if she can try and help him figure out what happened that got him banished, see when he was kicked out of Faerie they stripped his memories as well, so he only really knows that he was banished as punishment and he has this vague certainty that he didn't do what he was accused of but that's all he's got, so I can see him going to her for help.
