December 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 / 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.

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.

offering:
— prompto argentum

preferences:
— canon or cross-canon for shipping
— if canon, my faves are the other chocobros and aranea, but i'd be down to try just about anyone! lunafreya and prompto would be the absolute cutest, and ardyn if you want to get terrible i guess 🤷 if cross-canon, i'm open to m/m and m/f (if i don't know the canon, i can just wing it or we can do a little bit of canon-smashing)
— more than okay with smut but good with whatever
— mostly looking for some PSLs or long-term memes (especially if we vibe) since PSLs are where it's at most days
— particularly love dark and gritty or just something with a lot of angst. let's do some deep themes etc etc
— also really love AUs (sci-fi, post apoc, time travel) or inserting characters into various canons


— i'm in EST timezone (gmt -5) and tend to reply whenever i'm not working, which varies through the day. can be slow or fast; it just depends
— i don't mind writing starters as long as i know the general setting of what we're going for in a thread
— if interested, comment or pm me!!!
— let's write some stuff ♥

listen...

I've got an Aranea stashed away (info / permissions), jumping to write with castmates. Sweet or angsty, I'd be happy to attempt both (and more). Maybe they've gotten gradually closer over time and her Big Sis role is gradually morphing into confidante and from there, it's only a hop and a skip from something more intimate.

Or.
Once upon a time, I was gearing up to write Cindy, but when it came down to deciding between her and Aranea, at the time, I was leaning more Aranea. But I'm open to giving Cindy a try if you wanna give the cute-to-naughty pipeline a go. There's an element of family related angst to be had there, with her losing hers at a young age that we can explore. Make the cute and bubbly characters face old wounds and be vulnerable? Personal fave of mine. Silver and Gold couple?? LOL

I also have a very new (and a little more active) Cissnei (info / permissions) that could be fun to write against a Prompto. Connecting over their love for chocobos? Yes?

All are absolutely open for an AU setting (bonus if Kingdom Hearts)

Speaking of KH...

Should you be interested in something more along the lines of a male, I have this goober (Lea, info / permissions) that could be an option, should you wish to ever write a KH version of Prompto.

If one or more of these tickle your fancy, I'm up for giving any and all a whirl and see where we can take it. Lemme know if you'd like to discuss more either via PM or Discord. In the next couple of days, I'm going to be getting a lot more free time and I am so hungry to just write, write and write some more.

If none of this grabs you, then I hope you have a wonderful Christmas (or equivalent holiday, if any apply) and a happy new year <3

oh my gosh, okay!!! so cissnei and prompto would honestly be super cute???? like whoa!!! and it would be fun to mash them together in whatever sort of AU setting you might be interested in. (i also love kH so...)

AND SPEAKING OF i have never written with an axel/lea so sign me up for that as well! maybe we can see how they vibe? what kind of AUs do you like? obviously, KH is like all sorts of AUs haha but is there anything else in particular that you feel like exploring?

i don't even know where to start omg it's simpler to just exclude AUs that i don't have any confidence in - such as high fantasy, sci-fi and regency stuff. historical AU, too.

i'm more of a low effort kinda gal and my fave types of AU typically lean either casual modern realism au, popstar/celebrity au or rehab/addiction au which i totally understand isn't for everyone, so that's always a long-shot.

i also like canon divergence au, like somehow a new timeline formed where xyz didn't happen.
like the tim burton trash i am, i also like to think of ways i can adjust a character into a netflix Wednesday/Nevermore au and speculate what type of outcast they might be etc.

i do also like the idea of modern realism with a shot of supernatural on the side, like a little homage to their fantasy origins.

disturbingly, i do enjoy writing things that lean a little dark, like substance abuse, sex work (happy and willing as well as desperate or forced) broken homes, morally grey being the only color, pining, yearning, indulging in things you really shouldn't.

and then there's me being an absolute sucker for the sweet and fluffy, there's no such thing as problems. really, i think i'm down for most things. i'm not too confident or comfortable with graphic, prolonged violence, but i'm not adverse to chaos and terrible decisions. i wouldn't hate writing something dabbling in religious fanaticism (not cult stuff tho). more along the lines of confusing the lines between wholesome worship and sexual objectification of a religious leader or deity.

some pre-typed up AU ideas for Lea: here

for Cissnei: here

for Aranea: here

I don't have anything for Cindy yet, but it's in the works. These are also just ideas, nothing's set in stone and pretty much everything is up for discussion/alteration. I'm so down for developing any and all ideas!
so eager to hear what you're up for/into.

exclusion is good! i love sci-fi stuff simply for the worldbuilding aspect, but it's not a necessary thing for me to have. but like i mentioned above, i love anything that's post-apoc, dystopian (all sorts of flavors, doesn't necessarily have to be post-apoc dystopian specifically), time travel (which could play into the angle of canon divergence as well), or even the "simplistic" real world/college au as long as there is something meaty to work with so it isn't entirely slice-of-life.

and i'm definitely down to write darker subjects! i don't really have a hard no limit or anything that bothers me as far as subject matter, sooooo. we can get crazy.

okay, okay, the biggest thing that's jumping out at me right now is the rock band au you have linked for lea!? it just sounds fun and something i haven't really entertained or thought about writing despite prompto's grunge-type aesthetic lmao if you'd like, maybe we can focus on that for now and then dive into some other stuff later?! (because i'm still down for prompto and cissnei being besties and doing things and being cute, and prompto always affectionately annoying aranea in some capacity regardless of where they are hehe)

if it's easier to chat more details, you can hit me up on discord @ overcasts
