August 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!

Penny Dreadful + Cross Canon
[fandom]: Penny Dreadful
[preferences]: Gen, shippy, or smut. I'm looking for bakerstreet memes or PSLs.
There's more info in his journal, but in general I'm looking for the following:
- Canon or cross canon
- M/F and M/M
- Mages/sorcerers/fae
- Vampire hunters (Guillermo de la Cruz come at me I love you. No but really this would genuinely be amusing and delightful)
- Other vampires to commiserate with
- Fucked up power dynamics (with discussion first via PMs so we both know what the limits/boundaries are), which kind of comes with the territory considering he is who he is
- Angst filled romance (with a side of possessiveness on his part)
- Blood drinking
- Antagonistic enemies to antagonistic lovers to... regular lovers, wherever the dynamic takes us basically
- AUing him into other canons (fantasy based works best)
- Come be his vampire bride/husband and lets take over the world
- I would love a non Penny Dreadful universe version of Mina Harker
- Vanessa Ives
- Ethan Chandler
PM me for questions!

I don't know if you're familiar with Dragon Age at all but Morrigan is a "witch of the wilds." She's a shapeshifting mage who grew up detached from most of society, toying with templars who hunted mages, and learned from her (literally) legendary mother Flemeth that love is nothing but weakness and she can only rely on herself. She believes her mother intends to possess her body and does everything she can separate herself, even at one point asking a friend to kill Flemeth (who turns into a dragon and doesn't exactly die when killed). I have info in her journal if you're interested in more but I feel like these characters could be interesting and complicated if you'd like to bounce off her.
no subject
Quick question - would you prefer this be set in the Penny Dreadful universe, or Dragon Age universe? Or some kind of blending of the two?
no subject
One of the things I like about this is how easily they could fit into each other's canon. Unless you have strong feelings otherwise I'm thinking a blend. Like his general setting and time period but borrowing some Dragon Age lore/locations/people?
no subject
I'm absolutely down for a blending of both canons, yes!

Alucard is a powerful mage from a fantasy setting that also happens to be named London. You can read more of an explanation on his journal, but tl;dr different monarchy and overflowing with magic. The religious aspect is missing from Alucard's reality, but maybe someone managed to banish Dracula over to Red London in attempting to kill him or something? It wouldn't be the first time Alucard has had to be a guide to someone displaced like that. Or the two worlds can just as easily be meshed, but I'm unfamiliar with all the supernatural stuff Penny Dreadful has going on after s1.
This guy is a noble son that is in line to vie for the crown, though he isn't interested in actually taking it. Perhaps more interestingly he's got a knack for seeing the flow of power in his world that others cannot, thus is able to pick out more unique people, sort of like an aura reading. Add to that the fact he's not a stranger to dallying around and it could be they find some sort of mutual amusement with each other and/or Dracula wants something of his status/abilities. Originally Alucard becomes a privateer because he was forced and ended up liking it, but I'm also kind of amused by the thought of a relationship becoming so toxic he wants to put the ocean between them, at least for a while.
I'm also up for Alucard meeting him through less amiable means like having to fight him off from something or someone he's trying to get to. He's not really a hunter type, but he can definitely be a guard with his talents. That would fit the antagonistic enemies category.
What do you think?
no subject
I do like the idea of them having an on and off sort of thing - enough so that he'd want to at some point put an ocean between them because that amuses me lol. I'm sure Dracula's tried to kill him at some point, and he's probably done the same; but you know, they have their odd moments of being almost civil with one another, a mutual respect. And probably a healthy dose of passionate sex and blood drinking, considering who my guy is lol. Unless smut isn't your thing, in which case no worries!
If any of that sounds appealing to you, I do have him currently top leveled at quite a few memes - the intimate bathing one sounds like it'd be fun to just throw these two into together if you're up for that? Maybe they're having a good week where nothing's gone terribly awry. Or maybe this a rare moment in between chaos, lol, either way. We could set it anywhere really, even aboard his ship if you'd like, or within London somewhere. Let me know if you have any thoughts, ideas, or questions, I'm always available via PM :)
no subject
That said, I would be down for attempting a thread somewhere if you can tolerate me being pretty slow with PSL/meme stuff.
no subject
body heat meme
the rain meme
intimate bathing meme
Or, I would love a PSL if you'd like to work with anything within season three or go with an AU - if so, send me a PM and we can hash out the details! I don't mind the slowness, I'm a fairly active tagger but work sometimes causes lags in my tagging speed.

If you prefer more endgame Vanessa, I play her post-series vampy self at Eastbound, which is invite-only but I'd be happy to give an invite whenever apps open. Not sure when they will open up there again, though, since it's dependent on plot events. Could be a couple months. It's heavier on the plot shenans, with lots of undead drama, opportunities for subterfuge and battle, etc.
I will peek at those memes, happy to hit one up. I'll have more free time this weekend, so I can PM you then for PSL stuff then if you still want.

Thank you! I'll look into that one as well. Is Eastbound capped at the moment?
Yes, please do! Feel free to PM me whenever if you'd prefer a PSL over any of those memes, either way I look forward to threading with these two.
no subject
I'm as easygoing as our boy here. In the process of apping him somewhere but I wouldn't be opposed to either option and am a glutton for punishment.
no subject
Why hello Ethan player! I'm also very easy going in spite of the fact that my character is very much not; and I would love to thread these two! Are you also apping him at the City? The Vanessa player above recommended it so I'll be checking it out over the next few days.
But in the meantime, depending on the vibes you're looking for any of these memes would be delightful:
body heat meme
the rain meme
intimate bathing meme
Let me know if you have something else in mind, I'm open to suggestions!
no subject
That I am, I saw your post (albeit late) and had to share it with them. I definitely didn’t come to this post to lure in unsuspecting fans of the series to the game. The possibilities are endless and we are both fans of making our characters suffer immensely. I love what I’ve read in regards to The City so far and, as someone getting back into writing after an embarrassingly long hiatus, the pacing is perfect.
Unfortunately I have to get up for work in a few hours but you can bet I’ll jump on one of those as soon as I get home. Too good of an opportunity to pass up, I never expected to see someone playing Dracula.
no subject
Welcome back to rping! And that works out well because Dracula is definitely a character with zero problems making people suffer! Sometimes. Sometimes he can display about 10% chill, on a good day. It depends.
Anyway yes, I am 1000% here for threading these two, so please hit him up on any of those memes, I will look forward to it!
Also I'll most likely be putting this guy up at the City's next test drive meme since the Vanessa player mentioned it goes up soon.
no subject
Why, thank you! Apologies for the delayed reply, work was borderline torture and I got distracted by a certain someone who definitely doesn't play Vanessa. The most interesting part for me is the inhabitants having their power nerfed to around 20%, I'm still trying to figure out how that will work against Ethan. It won't sour his mood as much as not having his guns though.
Leaving it up to me, eh? En garde, you wicked thing.
As I'll be joining the TDM party I will hit his post like a Mack truck.
