May 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 / kink 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 fonts and other html that make ads super long, 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 canon 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. ➤ There is a "Pairings You Want to Play" section, where you can ask for castmates or crosscanon you'd like to ship with. Please format this with "[YOUR CANON] seeking [CASTMATE/OTHER CANON (if crosscanon)/SEE DESCRIPTION (if a general character type)]. For the actual text of the ad you must use the "Pairings You Want to Play" form provided at the bottom of this post so that these ads don't get huge. Alongside castmates and crosscanon, you can choose to ask for OCs or general character types as well. Try not to get too wordy and please don't outline entire scenarios. ➤ 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. ➤ The meme is for fiction-based RP only (with the only exception being involvement of fictionalized historical figures or historical settings.) Celeb or RPF RP advertising, whether for games or players, is not allowed. MOD CONTACT: If there's trouble, tell me HERE, please! RESOURCES: enablemeplz - The plurk for Enable Me Plz.

➤ 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.

FOR WILL
Looking for castmates and cross-canon! I'm completely open to writing gen against anyone from Metaphor: ReFantazio. I'm also interested in AUing Will into other Atlus canons, such as Persona, Catherine, and the Shin Megami Tensei games. (I have a section in his journal which explains the general premise I'd be running with for that, but can change things up as needed.)

I'd love to play out scenarios of all sorts: scenes set during the course of the game, scenes that happen post-game, fix-it canon divergent scenarios where nobody dies, modern-day AU shenanigans, etc. I'm very into fluff, domestic slice-of-life, and hurt/comfort, but I'm equally fond of political drama, writing background NPCs, and complicated plots. As far as ships go, I really only ship Will with Strohl and Louis — I'm pretty open to other M/M castmate ships too, if you're super big on shipping and really want to make the boys kiss, but by default, I'll keep Will's other relationships platonic or intensely intimate without actually becoming romantic unless you specifically tell me that you'd like romantic content with Will.

If you do play Strohl or Louis, I have plenty of ideas I'd like to explore! I think it'll be better for both of us if we just bounce off each other on memes for a bit before launching into a huge PSL, but if you're interested in jumping straight into something plotty, here are some ideas for threads that I'd like to have:

THREAD IDEAS

this is ugly but i'm leaving it the way i wrote it the first time bc i'm a menace. cw: slavery and incest below

▮ several different AUs... i like the idea of "will and the prince are separate people," usually in a context where i'd like to explore will's early game lack of value for himself + being willing to die for the prince's safety; i kind of want to explore "will is the prince's body double" or "will is the prince's whipping boy." that being said i can also do AUs where the prince was never cursed and thus will just continues on as the prince. i have enough prince icons for this. i'd be playing both will and the prince lmao

▮ i like the idea of strohl being one of very few noble children he's allowed to have as a friend, or louis as the child soldier / prodigy general being allowed to have an audience with him. alternatively, something like louis training the prince's body double??? grius is probably pissed about that but whatever grius.

▮ obviously i'm fine with playing out anything from the OU game as well. fleshing out the soiree would be a good one for both strohl and louis. i want to believe there was dancing!!!!! give me fancy party vibes!!!! i'm also here to explore will and strohl's intense sexual tension from the very beginning of the game... cute fluffy gauntlet runner cooking and shopping, etc.

▮ also very happy to do a louis joins the party and forden stays the main villain fix-it AU. i'm just open to a lot of AUs. imagine wtf louis would've cooked on the gauntlet runner. also we could do life in the elda village... life in the palace... we can mess with the timeline, change the ages they would've known each other, etc

▮ the cow boyfriend strohl memes are getting to me, okay. what if strohl and will on a farm. just hang a little bell around strohl's neck and set him free in the halian pastures. also, cute post-game general strohl stuff. i feel like he got bigger??? maybe it's the cape??? but i want will to remark on how strohl's gotten ripped and get him all flustered okay. he used to bitch about stairs

▮ tbh strohl probably still bitches about stairs

▮ generally open to darker themes: noncon/dubcon from louis at any point in the story, mutually insane bad end archdemon sex, will being sold as a slave (a rare elda!!) and either purchased/liberated by louis or rescued by strohl, etc. that being said i'm typically silly and not into whump for whump's sake, so darker plots should probably have a directive we're moving toward.

▮ still other flavors of AU... louis as hythlodaeus's bastard child deeply interests me as i feel it's a very valid alternative explanation for his behavior early on in the story... this would also make him will's half-brother and i think there's a lot to explore there. the public perception of the "rightful" candidate for the throne not being crown prince. full-blooded clemar vs half-blooded clemar/elda tribal tension type shit. i'm also here for half-brother incest in this scenario but it changes louis's motivations quite wildly so we'd probably have to plot a lot

▮ sometimes i think too much about the fact that the prince's initial conception of "will" — a young elda boy from the village who would have been his best friend and was strong, powerful, good with magic and a sword, etc... was just louis... i think we should do something with that. i have a lot of feelings

▮ i should probably stop here but i could keep going. pm me if you want to hear more of this madness

FOR WISE
Coming back to this game after a long absence, and I'm once again looking for castmates...! I've actually realized that I much prefer writing assistant Wise over main-Proxy Wise, so I think I'll be proceeding with that going forward, and I'm very happy to let that impact character relationships as necessary. I would love to play out shenanigans of all sorts, especially with Belle, but please note that I'm still somewhere in 1.4 and need to catch up to the current version. As far as shipping goes, I'm broadly open to most M/M ships with castmates, but I'm not looking for anything in particular, and Wise is something of a slow burn.

FOR AETHER
Looking for castmates! I'm completely open to writing gen against anyone from Genshin Impact, as well as M/M ships and smut against most male Genshin characters. (I have a shipping preferences list and thread wishlist you can refer to if needed.) The best thing for us is to probably just go off a meme prompt and run with it, but I can cook up a menu of plot options for our characters if necessary. I'm good with anything; I just want to write some stuff that would lean into Aether's baggage as a wandering prince with a noble heart who often finds himself doing ignoble deeds. I'm particularly interested in playing out scenarios that would let us riff off Sumeru and Dragonspine lore — Liloupar and Eberhart are my problematic historical faves! — but I can do whatever interests you as well. I must admit that I've had a special desire to write more Mondstadt-based threads and would particularly love Diluc, Kaeya, or Albedo to do that, but I'm also pretty open to everyone, so please don't be shy if there's some other Traveler-related thing I can write with you!

other.

▮ Slow tags are fine! I'm really busy a lot of the time, so I can be expected to tag at a snail-like pace of about 1-3 weeks per tag... but I'm always happy to chat about our threads and fandom stuff if you want an open line of communication, so please do reach out if you're okay with a slower pace.

▮ I prefer brackets, but prose is not a dealbreaker. I also prefer writing longer, meatier tags, but I can match shorter tags. It just sucks to keep you waiting a week for a short tag, but I can't boomerang most of the time unless it's just texting.

▮ Feel free to reply here or PM me!
