adds and more!
Hey everyone! I'm going to start right off the bat and apologize for how long-winded this post is bound to be, tonight. I know they're a pain to read through when they get long, but really, it's all important, honest! Or, you know, at least, I think it is. First off the bat, we've got Sunday night adds. Please go to the member's post to run the button. A buddylist will be updated within the hour.

Next order of business, is a crap load of mod stuff and in order to save your friends pages, I'll go ahead and cut tag it.
Alright, guys. This just got real. As you may, or may not, have noticed, things have been running kind of slow here at ~intoyou, especially on our end. We've had some issues amongst the mods, where two of our three have been pulled towards other, important life things, temporarily, leaving a brunt of the mod work on me. Due to my own real life commitments, and the holiday season, I've been kind of letting you all down with updating the taken list, adds and basic activity things. This all, though, is coming to an end. I'm back and fully committed to making this community be as lively as possible. You're all fantastic writers and you deserve an active home. Here comes the part where I ask you what you'd liked to see here, what would stimulate your minds and make you flourish as writers? While I can hope and wish for activity, and do my part, only you guys can keep this community alive and for us here at ~intoyou, the players have always come first. We want you to have as much fun as possible! So, I come bearing ideas. I'm not going to make you guys do all the work. But, I do ask for one thing: Feedback. Yes, I want to hear the God's Awful Honest Truth from every single last one of you. Think you can do that?
Idea Number One: Weekly prompts. I've seen this before and think this might be pretty fun. Every week, most likely on Sunday since it'd be the start of a brand spankin' new week, the mods would post an optional prompt along with adds. Light and fun things that get your characters a-talkin' in your head when they've fallen silent. Things like, "If you could have a superpower, any superpower, what would it be?" and "What's your most vivid memory of winter?" or "What's your favorite Crayola Crayon color?" Little things that could serve to get some conversation started between you and other players. Completely optional and even able to just be one line, if you so wish.
Idea Number Two: Bi-monthly group scenes posted by the mods. The first and third Wednesday of every month we could post up a compeltely random starter for anyone to jump onto. Multiple comment threads allowed and someplace completely neutral and open. A long line at Starbucks could serve to meet a character you have no connections with. A pulled fire alarm at the local mall might lead you bitching to that one person you haven't been able to talk to in the community.
Idea Number Three: A gossip community. Think a cryptic journal with punch. A community monitored by us that would allow for cryptic/gossip submissions to be posted bi-monthly or weekly, depending on it's popularity. It would be monitored to insure that nothing cruel or terribly invasive was posted that might take away from the fun nature of the idea.
Idea Number Four: Yours! I want to hear it guys. What do you want to see?
If you guys could give me some feedback on these, tell me what you think is a good or bad idea, suggestions and comments would be greatly appreciated. Comments screened for your privacy.
Finally, it's that time again. Removals will occur next Sunday, that gives you all a week to comment on this post, whether you comment on the ideas above or not, in order to stay. If you do not comment by 11pm on Sunday, you will be removed from the community.
