April 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. ➤ All mod responses regardless of whether they're rule breaks, correction requests (like someone posting in the wrong section), or thwapping someone for spamming copy-paste ads, have always been and will almost universally be public. If someone sends a PM and the conversation gets combative, this will also be made public and posted to the comments of the mod contact page. This is for the sake of transparency so people can judge the emp mod's communications for fairness themselves. There are times where the player's post may be screened (such as if they posted to the wrong section) but the mod's response will be left unscreened. ➤ Players may sometimes be allowed more than one strike for copy-paste ads since this is often just enthusiasm behind it, but game mods should know better. They'll get one warning for copy-paste ads, and if they spam anymore copy-paste ads after the warning, they'll be banned from the meme. MOD CONTACT: If there's trouble, tell me HERE, please!

Comments

you (novels + netflix) + ouat + dark shadows

[lucency]

offering;

✦ belle french — ouat — lucency
✦ joe goldberg — you — everythingship
✦ willie loomis — dark shadows (og 1966 series) — graverobbings

seeking;

✦ for belle: her permissions/prefs/wishlist post is available here! still around and jumping on every proof of life i see, but i would sell my soul for some angsty rumplestiltskin threads set at any point pre-s6. honestly, though, angsty anything is the name of the game, and i'd love the opportunity to explore more of the darker sides to her character that canon conveniently continues to gloss over or use as a plot device (her attraction to glory, etc.). still super into anything where she has to use magic, super into post-breakup support threads, super into ships (she's drawn to scrappy, misunderstood types), super into all of it. she's probably my most flexible muse.

✦ for joe: permissions/prefs/wishlist available here! i'd adore some castmates from the show to give him a second chance complex, and while his parental protection instincts aren't really a thing in the books, they're my favorite thing about the show, so i'd love a chance to explore that further as well. i'm also very interested in working up to a stalking/murder plot, but i'd prefer this to come about organically.

✦ for willie: his prefs/permissions/wishlist is in progress, but if there's any dark shadows muses up here, hmu lmao. mostly, willie gets shit on so much in the series that i'm interested in some Softer Moments™ for him, so if anyone is interested in some cute slice of life, hell yeah, let's do it up. he'd also make a very cute ship partner, and if there's anyone from a vampire or horror canon that wants to vibe, get at me!

✦ i'm open to castmate and crosscanon interaction for everyone, so if anyone catches your eye, please drop a comment here or shoot me a dm! let's chat! ♥

Re: you (novels + netflix) + ouat + dark shadows

[wingsfordays]

Would you be open to a male interest for Joe? If not, no worries, just hadn't seen anyone playing him before and it got me stoked on the idea of Tim here falling prey to him and/or investigating him

[everythingship]

One of my biggest beefs with S4 of the show was that it set up for Joe being the bi icon we didn't ask for and then robbed me of the entire concept, so, in short, yes! Would definitely be open to that provided you're okay with a slow burn (investigating first would probably be a good start, which would also give Joe some drive to learn about him). Also, to be 100 with you, I am absolutely blank on any DC knowledge, but if you're cool, I'm cool!

[wingsfordays]

lmao omg YESSSSS. I haven't finished S4 yet but I was so bummed it wasn't at least a little bit queer. Like COME ON.

But yay! So I can happily put Tim into just a normal, non-superhero'ed world if that's better for you. In which case he'd likely be a forensic detective or at least studying to become one. (or I' also happy to tell you Tim's backstory and have him be a vigilante on the side; most people probably don't know him in the way they know Batman, for example, so that's normal) I'm tooootally fine with the slowest of slow burns and even gen if it doesn't evolve how we want. It will just be fun seeing their personalities together.

[everythingship]

2023: the year we got queerbaited by Joe Goldberg smh

ANYWAY, yes, absolutely! I do think a non-superhero thing would work a little better in this case (tho absolutely down for some vigilante times). I can throw Joe up on random scenario if you'd like, or I have an open post in my musebox as well!

[wingsfordays]

Oooh random scenario would be great. Lmk where you throw him and I'll pop Tim in.

[everythingship]

Boom!

[iwolfyou]

Do you have any ideas for these two? I'm willing to throw mine in but I'm always shy when brainstorming, so, if you don't mind...

[iwolfyou]

Also, don't know if this is my place or considered Plurk-stalking but a friend on my timeline was saying she'd love to have cr with a Joe Goldberg at her game, Partha.

[everythingship]

Thanks for the heads up! I've looked around Parthas a little bit but am considering other things as well.

As for Joe and Love, absolutely obsessed, for starters, and Joe in the book was determined to make that work, so I'd be down to explore the whole weird domesticity-while-also-murdering thing. I'm also happy to hear any ideas you have!

[iwolfyou]

Great! Definitely different than the road I was going to head down which was "Joe in the cage," but I like it! Is it a deal-breaker if I haven't read the books? I can easily catch up.

[everythingship]

Hold up, record scratch, also all about Joe in the cage and could absolutely do a lot with that. Let's go with that plan.

Also, definitely not a dealbreaker (Love in particular is very very different)! I can be flexible up to S3 or so (although it's been a minute since I've rewatched). Although, if you do wanna read the books for shits and gigs, I recommend it, especially for Joe crying and stress-eating Taco Bell. Award-worthy writing, clearly.

[iwolfyou]

Aha! Great minds! She could imagine seeing him look at another woman and lose trust in him, but is it in her imagination? Is it, Joe? >.<

I would love to see the differences! And possibly enjoy Joe crying and stress-eating even more!

[everythingship]

Narrator: It was not her imagination.

For starters, Love is an aspiring actress and Hollywood elite, but I'll won't spoil the rest for you. :)

ANYWAY, re: threading, happy to throw something up in my musebox open post in the next couple of days if that works!
