July EMP Meme
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!

stranger things, the witcher

I also have a Geralt for Jaskier, though I haven't seen the new season yet!
I'm also flexible on prose or brackets, and prefer some plot to go with smut. Fake dating, idiots to lovers, soulmates, mutual pining are all my jam. Given the canon for both of these are musically inclined, I'd be down with a rockstar au too, or maybe like, Steve/Eddie meeting again when Eddie's made it or a modern au with rock star jaskier. I'd prefer to keep some supernatural in a modern au though!
no subject
As for Geralt, I am more than happy to provide a spoiler-free space, and of course if we go the AU route that won't even matter much.
Sounds like we have some good tropes in common! And for rockstar au, both of those sound so good to me, and I do love to keep the Upside Down/the monsters and magic from the Continent in modern au's so that definitely works!
no subject
I'll probably be watching soon, we just finished our season 2 rewatch. But if we go au it won't matter anyway!
How about we go rockstar for one, and something else for the other. Maybe rockstar au for witcher, and then if we add one for me to do eddie, we can do the stranger things one? Maybe a soulmates or fake dating for eddie/steve?
no subject
Ahhh have fun with that! And agreed, the au route would require less canon review at least as far as specific events happening
I like it! Geralt does make a good bodyguard for the rockstar au, but he can also be dragged to a concert by his daughter where Jaskier is either the main or opening act. I do love a good soulmate au for eddie/steve 👀👀👀 if there are any soulmate-specific tropes you have I am all ears!
no subject
I'm open to most! Maybe Steve doesnt realize it until after eddie dies and he's wrecked and then eddie comes back somehow and doesnt say anything because he thinks itsjust him, and we get some mutual pining before one of them spots a mark or they share a memory or whatever trope we go with?
no subject
Ahhh I do love some solid mutual pining. So something that maybe could be triggered right around Eddie's self sacrifice, there's always feeling the other's pain, but that would probably have been pretty obvious to Eddie beforehand, with how often Steve showed up injured. I think some kind of mark might work, but maybe it's the type that doesn't show up at birth so it would have been easy to miss with everything happening and with Eddie on the run. And then with Eddie dying and coming back to life somehow (maybe she brought both Eddie and Max back to life?), he probably assumes that whatever soulmate bond they had was severed, etc.

right? i thought they did something really interesting, having him potentially ready to leave it all behind and elope with Jaskier, only to be suddenly crowned king just as the war starts. As someone who's always hated Radovid in the games I was pretty invested in this storyline haha
If there is something in particular you want to do I'm listening, otherwise I think I'd be most interested in picking up where s3 left off. We could come up with a reason for them to meet again pretty easily, I think, esp if Geralt and Jaskier are going to go against Emhyr to rescue "Ciri". They might have to go to Redania for help so they have to talk with the king? Or Jaskier could get captured by Redanian soldiers and imprisoned at the castle? That'd give Radovid the opportunity to come and talk to him, and maybe even help him escape.
no subject
I thought so, too, I really wondered if he was going to wind up the same paranoid Radovid as in the games, and it does seem like there's some seeds sown there to let that happen, but they also have all been about tweaking things from the books, so who knows.
The drama of getting captured by Redanian soldiers though! Jaskier's already wary of what Radovid is doing in the middle of all of this...and now the thought of Jaskier asking Radovid to come with him so now it's Radovid who has to choose, guh, I love it!
no subject
agreed, it's a situation with high drama potential and i love it too! let's try it, see how it works? I can start if you'd like, see how i find his voice. Do you have a musebox where you like to keep your threads? I usually use characters journals, but either works for me.
no subject
I like it! I do have a musebox over at

As for me, I am a long term rper that likes plot with my smut as well. I am impartial to brackets/prose. I like to plot out at least a little of what we're doing, but I love AUs, crossovers, ridiculous premises etc. Geralt gets himself into enough trouble, I'm sure we can make anything work!
Let me know if you're interested. More than happy to exchange discords.
