March 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 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. MOD CONTACT: If there's trouble, tell me HERE, please!

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.

I'm surprised it wasn't taken too. The intro is great. I had to borrow a bit from it for one of my fan fics. >_>

RL does that and the bonus of night shift making time a weird fantasy. Sometimes I feel like I live in Cabeswater.

The substance party would be great. I'll scan it really quick on my break tonight so it's fresh in my mind.

I kind of hate how that was discarded. Ronan could have feelings for Gansey and still fall for Adam. One doesn't exclude the other. I think the author has even mentioned she wished she'd done more with them, without actually mentioning which ship he was hinting at.

[threesecrets]

It is! I love it so much, and I love the callback to it later, too. Like when Noah says it's not his place to tell other peoples' secrets, etc etc. It's just so good and the whole concept of these different secrets makes such a great framework for Dream Thieves as a whole, too. And oh man, I'm trying to resist the urge to start writing trc fics. Not enough content for my favorite ships which alas leaves me

Yeah, I used to work night shift / over nights so my schedule is a mess, so I know what you mean about time being a weird fantasy.

Excellent~ I tossed up a super basic open post thing here, though also if you wanna talk out details / thoughts and feels / whatever, totally poke me more.

Yeah, same! And I was just reading Maggie's livetweet of Dream Thieves she did a while back, and she literally comments on Ronan loving Gansey, and being attracted to Gansey and I'm just like "where did that thread go, though?".

It was pretty clear from the beginning that Gansey was going to end up with Blue, so I'm not horrified they didn't end up canon or anything. It just seems based on what I've seen, that once she sets up the end game ships there's way less interest in allowing those other feelings to matter.

But I'm pro-Gansey/Ronan/Adam and generally a polyshipper, so I'm biased. XD

[affection_for_research]

I used it with Noah for the fic I need to finish. The secrets Noah knows and how he won't tell, but that doesn't mean he won't give nudges in certain ways. I need to get writing again. Maybe when I'm caught up on sleep. LOL

I will hop over to the open post to discuss details.

I haven't seen the live tweet. I thought most of htat was taken down. O_O

I wish she had continued the thread even if Gansey wouldn't end up with him. (Or maybe he should have. Poly would have worked.) It's pretty obvious that Gansey has significant feelings for Ronan that I would have loved to see explored in the books.

I'm pro poly too, but I haven't had much of a chance to play it.

[threesecrets]

Oh, that sounds really neat! Clearly sometimes nudges are needed.

And I don't think so! The link for the Dream Thieves one is here, which I stumbled on totally by accident. And I think you can dig up most of the others via google. (Or I can ply you with more links since I think I have them all saved.)

Yeah, same. I'm admittedly very into people (especially when they're all a bunch of damaged teenagers) being allowed to have messy feelings, and exploring that in a more meaningful way than actually seems to happen. Also, I mean. Maggie says this, and that quote is from the bit about Gansey buying Monmouth. So yes, I'm very much with you!

Me either! Though hope springs eternal, it's definitely on my wishlist, heh.
