August EMP Meme

[enablemeplz]

ENABLEMEPLZ meme goes up on the Second 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.

Comments

dragon age, harry potter, greek myth, mcu

[shortitude]

✔ OFFERING;

hawke (female, mage or rogue, pro-mages, mostly purple); dragon age 2 (fhawkeit)
trevelyan (female, rogue); dragon age inquisition (troubleyan)
hermione granger; harry potter* (reparo/muggled)
persephone; greek myth-based (demspotnia)
lady sif; mcu (asofwar)
daisy johnson; agents of shield / mcu (battleshipping)

* TERFs don't deserve to keep the harry potter canon so we're gonna take it from them and make it as inclusive and queer as we want to make it the end

✔ TAGGING ETIQUETTE;

💕 either full-on PSLs or casual tagging in multiple memes are great, though I'll warn you that I'm a big fan of build-up and plot. I love a good timeskip mid-thread if we feel the action there has come to a close to push it forward, so don't be shy about communicating if something's not working or you'd like a jump.
💕 my tagging pace can be anything from daily to boomerang to a few days of pause; I have a job that keeps me busy and also life activities and stuff, and I totally understand that other people experience the same. Backtagging will always be welcome - yes, even when it's been a month+ since the last tag. I'll be just as happy to get the tag back as I would be in a day, and you'll get something back :) (also I'm GMT+0 so there's that)
💕 i am happy with writing gen threads but i'm a sucker for shipping and wouldn't be advertising for PSLs if that wasn't the endgame, so let me know what you're comfortable with/into and we'll see if it can work out?

SPECIFICS PER CHARACTER?

hawke: i'll play her in the context of dragon age 2, inquisition or straight-up an au, but i want to play her more. faves are listed in her journal but i can be flexible, so holler at me if you have ideas!
trevelyan: smut, action/adventure, ships that canon won't let us have because it sucks? playing her as archery rogue, soft spot for mages, loves her friends very unconditionally (the inquisition might be the first time she has friends?) and goes by evelyn.
hermione: post-Hogwarts, pre-epilogue, slow burn and angsty and fixing all the dumb shit joanne tried to sweep under the rug with a All was well because what the fuck is that? i'd love a long PSL for her, preferred ships are harry, draco, neville, krum and luna; but i headcanon her as demisexual so honestly it's ota as long as there is a connection there.
persephone: husband (or wife for any lady!Hades out there) primarily, but also 100% here for a role-swap au where Persephone is the King of the Underworld instead? I go by the headcanon that Persephone chose to take a weekent getaway to the Underworld and then sexism happened and the rumour was she got kidnapped.
sif: *jazzhands* anything goes *jazzhands*
daisy: i will be honest, my fave daisy was s1-s3 daisy so i'd like to play in that context, any kind of canon-divergence kind of au you're interested in.

Well. Hello darling.

I'm still getting back into the swing of dreamwidth, but I'd love to tag with your Persephone sometime. (I'm a big fan of PSLs, but memes work just as well!)

[demspotnia]

Yes, please! That would be lovely. I'm a big fan of PSLs as well and have been looking for one for Persephone, so I'd be game! I haven't popped into any memes in the last week but I have an open post in her journal if you'd like that for a setting!

[waydownbelow]

Perfect. My true goal is probably a PSL, but a little chemistry test never hurt anyone. Your open post sounds great for an ice breaker, and if we want to continue on, maybe we can make a PSL community?

On that note -- any immediate wants for a thread? Are you more a fan of modern or classic? (or both?)

(PS - It looks like we're about on the opposite sides of the world, so sorry about that. I'm GMT-7.)

[demspotnia]

I think that our goals align here regardless of timezones being out of synch! I like playing her as a mix of modern+classic, because what is canon. I love the idea of the gods live among us trope, as well as the recent interpretations of live for mortals happens old-school but the underworld/olympus has modern aesthetics to it.

In terms of immediate wants, maybe a build-up to how their become wedded? I would love to write the falling in love process just as much as everything else. If you have an idea for a starter, chase your bliss, and if not you can drop me some prompts and I can set the mood for us? :D

[waydownbelow]

Fair enough! The beauty of mythology is the abundance (and also lack) of canon. A blend of modern+classic sounds great though. We can also just see what fits best.

To begin, pre-wedding could work. There's also always the classic midsummer impatience. (ie booty call, even if it's much purer than that.) If you don't mind hitting the starter, I'd appreciate it. (Unfortunately, I'm about to be stuck on a work call for a bit.) Let me know what direction you like and I can give you a prompt?

[demspotnia]

Ah yes the midsummer impatience, or as I call it Persephone is Thirsty on Main.

I'll cover the starter, you bring the prompts, anything goes! I keep meaning to say that I love your icon choices and I won't ever watch Ted Lasso the same way again apparently.

[waydownbelow]

We stan a Queen.

Thank you, darling. Okay, as for prompts:

💀 Persephone is still relatively new to UW life, and gets her first real encounter with her soon-to-be (or freshly married) husband's cranky workaholic tendencies. Queue the beginning of the enteral struggle to drag this man away from his desk. Maybe they go on a tour of Seph's new Kingdom or ?
💀 The old-school way to summon Hades is a good couple of fists to the ground. In more modern times, it's supposed to only be used for emergencies, but...as you said, Persephone is Thirsty on Main. [Could end up with a date night, some spicy not-actually-angry flirting, pure Thirst, or some combination of the above.]
💀 Preparation for goddamn fam brunch. Will they actually make it there? Who knows.

Oh @#%$, clocked already. What can I say though? The man can growl.

[demspotnia]

oh my god family brunch. i'm in, i know hades has egg opinions and i need to hear all of them IMMEDIATELY (they'll never make it)

but first, a starter here ! feel free to choose whatever format works for you

[scintillam]

Hello! Not sure if you’d be interested in cross-canon with Hermione, but I can offer this magical lad~ Based in Teen Wolf fanon, he’s an OC named Patrick Hale. Totally understand if it’s not your cup but I thought I’d offer!

[reparo]

Hi! I'm open to writing with an OC, for sure. Happens that I still remember a few things of the TW canon from back in the day, so not totally canon blind in this case. Is there anything in particular you want to try out?
