In Darkness - OOC

Hello, and how is everyone this fine not-a-Monday?

As I sit and ponder future plots, thought I'd run something by you guys, so input is appreciated, and comments are screened.

Next week, we'll have an open plot (no specific characters chosen) and the week after that, is a 15 character plot/event. (As always, suggestions are more than welcome - here, the drop box, my e-mail, wherever).

But the question I had was: what are your thoughts on playing with pheromone-induced attractions between characters for the week? I will emphasize that nothing HAS to happen. If the characters never encounter each other, that's perfectly fine; I'm not big on "forcing" events on anyone. Anyone can opt out of anything, and that's fine.

But I also think there could be a lot of fun to play with awkward induced by something like this. Like, Dug stalking someone because they smell nice. Lots of blushing and stammering because Swan suddenly finds someone very attractive and she doesn't know why. And so on.

But if there's majority protest, I am definitely capable of cooking up something else.

Open lines of communication, we has them.

Also, so you have a heads up now, I am going to introduce a rule regarding canon puncturing since we don't have one and I'm just glad it hasn't come up yet XD silly me. I will pop up another post once I've gotten that settled, and you're more than welcome to share your thoughts on that here as well.

As mentioned earlier, we have updated the rules to reflect our canon puncturing rule.

For convenience, I'll paste it below.

I'd also like to remind everyone to please title their posts in the Logs community. That's in the rules as well. You guys have been fantastic about tagging your entries, and I definitely appreciate that, but don't forget the titles, too.

Canon Puncturing

While we are aware that a lot of panfandoms allow (and even encourage) canon puncturing, we do not. We would strongly prefer that characters do not inform other characters that they are fictional. There should be no reading of books/watching of movies/googling of selves among the characters and discovering their stories. No YouTube videos of clips from movies should be posted in the network.

We are also aware that some canons do have knowledge of other canons (for example, the Covenant boys are clearly familiar with Harry Potter), we are asking that it please not be brought up in a canon-puncturing way.

In this same vein, "look-alike" references are fine. For example, someone could tell Mal he looks like Castle, or someone could tell Jaime she looks like Rory Gilmore.
