August EMP Meme

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!

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.

I also have accounts for Rhaenyra, Alicent, and Viserys if there is interest in those.

elden ring
[personal profile] ulcerated — Sorcerer Rogier

the witcher
[personal profile] plunder — Yennefer of Vengerberg

Additionally, I do have a semi-retired Geralt account. I don't have a strong grasp on his voice anymore, but I don't mind trying to thread with him now and then if you don't mind sporadic slowness.

I have some other characters (vampires and a cowboy🤷‍♀️) and some OCs and some WIPs if there is interest. You can check out my current muselist here

seeking

— Meme and/or psl partners. Specifically looking for more longer-term psls or continuous meme threads.
— Both gen and shipping and/or smut a-ok. +18 for shipping but otherwise all characters are open to any genders.
— Crosscanon is absolutely welcome and encouraged! Though I would much prefer genremates, as I find it v hard to thread anachronistic fantasy characters against modern characters/icons.
— Would prefer to stay in-universe or AU for their respective canons, but I am open to spinning up a jamjar situation. Not interested in any modern au.

Thread preferences: Focus on drama and character relationships with some sort of cohesive plot/driving conflict leading the way. I like a mix of the lightest of light-hearted humor to the most soul-crushing deep in the feelings tl;dr. Likewise down for any sort of action heavy/fighting style threads or filling out a scene with npcs when needed/necessary.
Ship preferences: In general, the more messy and complicated the better for most of my characters. If not as messy between the characters themselves, the messy circumstances around them. Not at all shy to negative cr, fumbling encounters, ending scenes where no one gets what they want, or slowburning. Domestic bliss, fluff, and feel-good scenes are also great but more in moderation or as a treat/reward.
Dynamics preferences: Enemies/rivals (to lovers), competitive couples, power imbalances, grouchy/cheery, mindgames/layered conversations/banter, parallel/foil character pairings, corrupting forces ('i can make them worse/they make eachother worse'), string of fate, scorched-earth level of possessiveness/jealousy.


NOW IF I HAVEN'T SCARED YOU AWAY....here are specifics for each canon/character are hidden under the tabs below


House of the Dragon/ Fire & Blood
Hello, god? It's me again.

Generally interested in canon-filler scenes, book scene interpretations, canon divergent fix-it/what-if, dream sequences (greendreams, smutty, existential, etc), and afterlife/deathjars. I also love threading with ASOIAF/GOT characters so pls throw them at me (I ♥ Brienne, Jaime, Sansa, Oberyn, Cersei, and more) Happy to work out the timeline smash/au of it all.

Aemond: Specifically hankering for Aegon or Alicent. I have both listed as guilty pleasure ships, but I am happy to just write gen threads with either of them. I just really want to explore Aemond and Aegon's relationship as brothers. As well as Aemond's complicated relationship with his mother.

Secondarily, I wouldn't mind a Helaena, Daemon, or Alys. A full list of preferences can be found here. And I have a more specific thread wishlist + au ideas.

Daemon: Looking to play against other Aemonds and Rhaenyras or a Laena. Doing more threads in Pentos/Essos HOTD timeskip or exploring Daemyra's marriage or reaping the angsty fallout/repair after the beginning of the dance. I don't mind threading with younger Rhaenyra/expanding Daemon's time post-Stepstones/pre-Essos, but I do prefer to be more cautious with them re: any sort of shipping/smut.

Secondarily, whatever else family kicking about (Viserys? Rhaenys?, Corlys?, anyone?). Some of my thread wishlist/aus with Aemond could also be done with Daemon (alt dance with an early team black victory, prisoner of war, etc) A full list of castmate preferences can be found here.

Elden Ring
— Rogier is a good character for adventuring/dungeon crawling style threads.

— I love EL's lore and absolutely just would thrive getting down and dirty with it. Either trying to discuss it in character or exploring all the existential and desolate horrors the Lands Between has to offer.

— Even tho I kind of showed up 10 years late behind the hype train w/ starbucks. I would love to thread with fellow Elden Ring babies still kicking around. I welcome any and all of them.

—— Though specifically I would love a D, Hunter of the Dead to bury me in the troubling relationship that is their friends/lovers to enemies dynamic.

— Crosscanon/OC is definitely pls welcomed. I am happy to thread any tarnished versions of characters from other unverses into Elden Ring or AU Rogier into other fantasy canons. I think he could fit in well with Dragon Age, and maybe some Final Fantasy (i more or less am familiar w/ 7 thru 13, tho intrigued by 16 👀) I have not played Baldurs Gate 3 but I am trying to slam it onto my computer asap and am very welcome to anyone from that (and probably make an Astarion acct later rip)

The Witcher
NGL I am rather bitter about the show right now, but otherwise I am still stockholmed into this canon. That said, I try to lean more book-verse regarding these characters but am not opposed to playing them more as their TV counterparts. The voices tend to be all muddled in my head for me anyway. That said, all character iterations (TV/Books/Games) are welcome.

Yennefer: I will always have love for the core family (Geralt, Ciri, Jaskier). Either threading non-specific timeline Geralt or Jaskier encounters, training with Ciri, exploring a volatile fling with Jaskier, or doing a MOTW sort of escapade with a Geralt.

Crosscanon is also super welcome. Specifically with the likes of Dragon Age, HOTD/ASOIAF, and S&B. I have already AUd her into ASOIAF-verse as an Asshai sorceress and am totally down to do more of it.

Philippa: I'm still testing her out, but I loved her in the books/games and I liked Cassie's portrayal of her in the show so we're giving it a go. Would be primarily looking for a Djikstra here, but would be happy to find a Jaskier to torment, or a Radovid. A Yennefer or Tissaia would also be keen for more Brotherhood/Lodge inetraction.

In general, I would love to do some court intrigue, medieval espionage, etc. with her. She is also another character I think would slot in well to AU into other fantasy canons such as Dragon Age, ASOIAF, etc.


etc

— Timezone PST, medium paced. Backtagger here 4 life.
— Brackets is the default but good w/ prose. I always write present tense.

— My big hard no is non-con/sexual assault themes. I will not write out or want to do a plot that focuses heavily on the happening/aftermath/trauma of it. Mentions of it in passing introspection or dialogue is fine, I just would like to avoid trauma dumping pls. That aside, power dynamics/etc that kind of shuffle things into the 'dubious' category is ok by me. Happy to discuss it if you're not sure!

— If we haven't threaded before, I would like to do some sort of low stakes meme/texting thread to see if we mesh as writers.
— Please PM any of the above accounts for contact!

WE LOVE TO SEE IT BABY

(returning home to her people)

i have a Different Take on inquisitor gwen that might be more relevant to yen's interests (the short version: so the tranquil have their connection to the fade cut off > its demonstrably possible to undo this > the anchor is a direct, turbocharged connection to the fade > what happens if a tranquil gets the anchor? i tell u what, she's real pissed, for a start)

oooh very interesting, indeed. i'm down to fuss around with some more details if you got em. meanwhile i'll be clinking my sunbaked braincells together in thedas-ifying yen's backstory.

i was lured in here by the hotd/elden ring subject combo and want to say 1) this is potentially a long shot but if you're ever interested in mashing those canons together with lotr, hello, 2) not this making me want to roll dijkstra, and 3) bless you for having a colin robinson account!!!
sapphyre: all icons - <lj user=machete> (Default)

[personal profile] sapphyre 2023-08-14 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
my meta colin robinson journal is my pride and joy ♥

i actually have a deep nostalgic love for lotr it was my first big fantasy series (though i did not end up watching rings of power since it was airing about simultaneously with hotd and i couldn't juggle both at the same time) but galadriel is totally welcome to canon mash with any of these. lmk who/what you're feeling and we can go from there :)

i would love a dijkstra tho so if you do fall into temptation also hmu
ages: (Default)

[personal profile] ages 2023-08-15 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
the ic entries and the weather boy reference on top are just 👨🏻‍🍳👌🏻

terrific! maybe a relatively straightforward lotr/hotd crossover with some kind of alliance between the elves and the targs (arranged marriage? aemond as a ward? or something less immediately involved) or specifically the elves and the blacks or greens? or alternately just throwing all of them into the lands between.

but also again no presh if none of this really rings your bell! i will 99% probably be back here after finishing the witcher s3 so there will be that u - u

[personal profile] sapphyre 2023-08-17 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
i am definitely open to some sort of au mash. maybe the elves as a sort of proxy to the children of the forest? it would be v interesting having a direct line to the old gods as a represented force in westeros getting involved. probably a bit more tumultuous for the very pious greens and their new gods to strike a deal, but i can definitely see them with the blacks using the song of ice and fire as a sort of pact towards their shared future (all rhaenyra right there tbh, though it's probably daemon that would be envoy to treat with them. even if he might disagree)

though i am always down for tossing everyone into the lands between for some gentle medieval apocalyptical survival horror. any excuse to play in that setting makes me happy~
vied: (Default)

[personal profile] vied 2023-08-18 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
OOH yeah i'm def down for that — works as a sort of weird post-third age state for the elves and makes their reappearance that much stranger.

honestly same re: elden ring, everyone's having a terrible time and related to each other and what more can i ask for than that? depending on what kind of scale you're feeling, i've written galadriel both as a sort of rennala analog and as a finger maiden.

alsooo obviously up for witcher shenanigans now i've got this guy up and running.
sapphyre: all icons - <lj user=machete> (Default)

[personal profile] sapphyre 2023-08-18 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
unfortunately im bad at decision making because i like every idea because galadriel in rennalas role sounds cool but so does her as a fingermaiden ahhh. i equally could go a traditional tarnished route or as a descendent of godwyn/dragons. though i definitely haven't written the latter, i'm happy to give it a go if to scale more onto a demigod level.

well i have top levels for aemond in insomnia and touch or daemon in rain and also insomnia for whichever of the ideas you feel pulled towards more.

but ahhh i'm so happy to see siggy, my boy! i don't have phil anywhere right now. maybe the h/c meme to do something post-thanedd? or just point at another meme and i can whip up something more nebulous in the timeline.
vied: (Default)

[personal profile] vied 2023-08-19 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
honestly same ... but if it sounds good, i threw dijkstra up onto h/c as post-thanedd sounds great, and can hit up one of your top levels in the next couple of days or so!

Heeeeeeey I keep meaning to tag your Rogier account on Bakerstreet but keep missing the chance so I'm just hitting you up here orz

I haven't played Elden Ring yet but I do have a quasi-canonmate in Alfred from Bloodborne! If you haven't gotten around to BB yet the short version is that Alfred is a genial sorta paladin type who turns out to have a dark secret as is the Fromsoft classic. I'd be happy to hit it off in any meme of your choice!

[personal profile] ulcerated 2023-08-27 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh haaaay. Sorry for not getting back to you sooner! I definitely haven't made it to BB yet (Elden Ring was my first FromSoft venture), but I've heard great things! We can be gently canonblind together.

I've been a little slow with this guy lately because I might have overloaded myself a lil and bg3 has started to swallow up my life. BUT I appreciate you reaching out and would love to get a thread going if you don't mind me being a little sporadic. You're welcome to hit up any of my old toplevels since I haven't been out in the bakerstreets for a minute (rain, non-verbal, texting, or rng) alternatively if there is anything more recent you'd prefer to hop into, I can follow you there.
