There has been a glitch and you were lost in the dimensional stabilizer however briefly. Now you're back, and all is right again! Oh, except for those memories of your stay in the facility. Those are gone! Well, we can't have everything, can we?

Step 1: Cut a hole in the box. Tag for your character. Set a typical newbie scene or just leave it blank and figure the setting out once you have a dance partner. Your character will not have Marina!memories.

Step 2: Someone with memories will tag you.

Step 3: Thread the results! Profit! Unicorns!

Alternatively, if you want to go at it memory-less on memory-less I won't call the meme police on you. ...Probably. Did your character really just get here? You should still play! There may be less *feels* but hopefully no less fun!

I'm bored! Jes is bored! It's time for a meme! So let's do this CR meme without all those annoying words! We last did this eight months ago so clearly it's due.

1) Post a comment here with your character! Blank comments can be made with <!>.

2) Other characters will comment to you, telling you on a scale of 1-10 how much their character likes yours, respects yours, trusts yours, finds yours interesting, and finds yours attractive!

Likes: ★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ = 1/10 Respects: ★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ = 1/10 Trusts: ★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ = 1/10 Finds interesting: ★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ = 1/10 Finds attractive: ★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ = 1/10

4) Replace the empty stars with filled-in stars and the 1/10 with the numbers!

5) 1 is neutral, we-just-met-and-I-am-ambivalent-about-you. It goes up from there. If your character hates or thinks very little of someone, it goes down to 0. (Except for comical assessments of -9000.)


Go forth, tag each other, and love the numbers!!

It's been a while since our last plotting meme, and some people I know have been talking about wanting one, so -- let's get our plotting on!

Please feel free to come in here, no matter how old or new you are, and share about your character, tell us what you want from them, and what you're doing with them! And then find characters you can contribute to or want CR with and get together!

Step 1: Make one comment for each character so we can see who has the plots.

Step 2: Then fill out the following:
<b>Character Name and Journal:</b> <b>Character Canon:</b> <b>Details About Them:</b> [description of them/their personality/their interests] <b>Plotting For Them:</b> [plot you want/plot ideas/etc]

Step 3: Comment to each other! Remember, everyone here wants comments, so don't just sit back and wait for comments! Make someone else happy, too!

Step 4: Translate the awesome to the game.

What do you want to do on a Monday morning? HOW ABOUT...

MID-MONTH MEME:
QUESTION RELAY EDITION

• It's a blast from the past! We last did this meme in October of 2010.


• Here's how it works: Make a post for YOU with a list of all your characters. (Dropped/fourth wall/planned characters too if you want!)


• Then another player will comment to you to ask you a question. (One question at a time!) This can be either about your characters, or about you in the game, or anything you want!.



"What does A's underwear look like?"

"How does B feel about X?"

"If C had to choose between Y and Z, who would she choose and why?"

"Which Disney princesses would each of your characters go for?"

"Who is your most difficult character to play?"



• You answer the question, and return with a question of your own! It can be a similar question or a completely different question.


• You go back and forth this way until we're all bored of answering questions. So even super latecomers can play as long as they have questions to get the ball rolling!

( MEME PROPER BELOW SO THE TABLE DOESN'T BREAK THE LAYOUT. )

SUCKER PUNCH MEME



Typical meme fare:

→ Leave a blank comment for as many or as few characters as you want using < ! > (sans spaces)
→ Tag around and find...
→ Oops! Your character - or, indeed, characters - have just been punched by whoever tags! Or maybe your character did the punching. The possibilities are endless.
→ WHAT WILL THEY DO NEXT?
→ No, seriously. Play out what happens next!

Taken, with love, from Bakerstreet at DW.

SO JES I SAW A MEME ON THE INKSOME FRIENDSLIST OUR OLD MARINA OOC COMM...

Those of you who are seriously old school (aka, not me) might remember this blast from the past! Our very first meme! It's been almost two years since the last time we did it. (And even longer since the first time it was done.)

And you know what? We're going to do it again. Right here! Right now!

All the old fogeys can compare their characters' answers then and now, and all the young whippersnappers can just have a random meme!

(One comment per character plz ♥)*

( Survey says... )


*Original text by Kay, modified by me.

I was enabled.

10 Things to 10 People!

→ Post with your character ICly saying ten different things to ten different people.
→ Or eight things to eight people, or twelve things to twelve people. Whatever.
→ You can say things your character wants to say, things your character refuses to say, whatever.
→ But you can't say who those people are!
→ React to everyone. Make guesses or reassure or whatever. And have fun!

Happy birthday to us!

ANNIVERSARY MEME
~*~MARINA LOVELOVE EDITION~*~



Cake to come (after we've acquired it).

• We've been around for THREE YEARS and we remain amazing -- share the love!


• The mods will start things off with a few general categories of things to love! You comment to share details of your love for these things!


• Then comment with a list of your characters (fandoms and journals included, please) and receive love for them!


• Feel free to post other categories to love that you feel may have been left out, such as if the mods didn't include "Favorite OOC Intro Post" or "Greatest Anniversary Cake Pic" and you wanted to spread the love there, too!


• Please do tag around and tell everyone all about what you love about them, their characters, and everything else!


• Happiness for everyone ensues. Protip: That means non-love will be deleted.

The ICON SPAM Meme

Borrowed with love from Bakerstreet @ DW

Hello once again Marina~! In the past we had the first edition, then we had the second edition, who says we can't have a third one?

Characters have gone, while new ones have come. Bonds may have gone stale, while new ones have been forged. To reflect these changes, let's indulge in some CR funtiems with --

Is it... could it be... I think it really might be PAST time for...!

MID-MONTH MEME:
RULE 34 EDITION

• Make a comment with each of your characters. Put their name, fandom, and (where applicable) anything you absolutely can't stand in the subject line.


• Uh-oh! Porn of your character exists -- on the internet! Fanart, fanfic, inept cosplay... How did this happen?! Rule 34 happened.


• Other characters respond to your character, reacting to porn they've seen of them.


• Was it a specific pairing? Kink? Or is the presence of porn alone enough to merit fainting? Feel free to link to specific porn, or to make up something ridiculous!


• ICly thread out this traumatizing incident. You're welcome, characters!!


• ONLY CHARACTERS WITH THEIR NAMES IN THE NAME FIELD OF THEIR JOURNALS CAN PARTICIPATE. ...also, excessively underage characters don't go beyond kissing.


• Play nice!

LAST NIGHT WAS...

( Let the RNG decide! )

How to play:
✖ Uh-oh, it looks like you're waking up! And you're not waking up alone.
✖ Leave a comment with the character's name, canon, and preferences if necessary in the subject line. Blank comments with <!>
✖ Use our friend and comrade, the Random Number Generator to pick prompts and tag around! From 1 to 9.
✖ Play out the scenarios, however you wish!
✖ Don't be ashamed to re-roll if you're not comfortable with an option or wanted something else.
✖ Remember, this is an OPEN MEME. You don't have to be a member of Marina to play. Everyone's welcome, in this haven of subject lines!

Is it? I THINK IT IS! An actual, factual, early...!

MID-MONTH MEME:
SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW CR MEME

We all love CR, so let's get some new CR and strengthen the old with a meme!

• Comment to this post with each character journal and fill out the following mini-survey in your comment:
  
  <b>Character Name:</b> <b>Human or other?</b> <b>Character Residence:</b> <b>Roommates? Empty bedrooms? Single?</b> <b>Two sentences about their personality, GO.</b> <b>Hobbies? Frequent haunts?</b> <b>Participate in any clubs or organizations?</b> <b>Take any classes?</b> <b>Any plans for the future?</b> <b>Any major issues on their mind?</b> <b>Looking for anything in particular?</b>


• The point of these questions is for players to realize if they have any opportunities for CR with one of their characters! Maybe both characters love scrapbooking? Maybe they live next door to each other? So try to fill out the questions as best you can!


• Now look around at other characters being posted and try to find CR opportunities!


• Have fun!

So, we got to talking about which characters have been here the longest and...A MEME WAS BORN!

WHAT DAY DID YOUR CHARACTER(S) ARRIVE?
1. Copy the format.
2. Insert your character's info.
3. Post it under the correct day header in the comments below!
Days 1-25 | Days 26-50 | Days 51-75 | Days 76-100 | Days 101-125 | Days 126-144*
*Mislabeled as 125-144

• Please post each character separately even if they fall under the same heading!
• See the example for what to do for dropped and reapped characters! If a reapped character belongs under two different headers list them in both, but include the complete info so people realize another day(s) apply(s)!

Character Name | Fandom | <lj user=characterjournal> | Status | <b>DAY X</b>

EXAMPLE
Yuuri Shibuya | Kyou Kara Maou | demon_king | Active | DAY 10
Spike | Buffy the Vampire Slayer | heart_at_stake | Dropped | DAY 15
Euphemia li Britannia | Code Geass | friendly_fire | Reapped & Active | DAY 32 & DAY 101

BONUS
Tell us your favorite early memory, fun fact and/or link your first thread if it wasn't on Inksome /sniffle!

It's a Winter Wonder Land!



In honor of the recent snowfall, we revised an old writing prompt meme (re: That Kissing Meme ) to be a bit more gen friendly and all inclusive. You have to have fun out there in the snow!

Rules:
1. Comment with your character(s). (use <!> in the comment field for a blank comment)
2. Let other people comment with a prompt either using their own or one of the RNG prompts below (please leave something for your artist/writer to work with, if there's something specific you'd like to see!).
3. You write (or draw) a sentence or a drabble or a fic that may or may not destroy reality about this kiss prompt.
4. Redeem your points for all sorts of great prizes that don't exist!

The Optional Prompt List:

1. Fire --> Whether it's a fire place or a bonfire, you're been gathered around it and having a moment. Maybe you're making s'mores, maybe you're just huddled close for warmth. Either way, there's just something about a fire crackling that really sets the mood in this prompt.

2. Fluff --> However you want to spin it, marshmallows in a cup, a sweet moment between friends, a poof of snow after someone pushes you into a drift... this is all about the fluff!

3. Food --> Whether cooking a feast or just inviting friends over for some takeout, this is all about sharing the joy in the season and remembering old stories. Or cursing the fact you have to cook at all. Sometimes, getting snowed in is not always a blessing. Or is it?

4. Snow --> Can't be a Winter Wonderland without a bit of snow falling. Use this to advantage, remember the silence, the quiet crunch under your feet and the fog of mist while you breath. Maybe you forgot a mitten and have to help the other person stay warm, maybe you stole it. Either way, it's snowing and it's you just and the other guy.

5. MAKE UP YOUR OWN --> This is your turn to be creative and think outside the block. Just remember, give plenty of things for your writer/artist to work with! And if all else fails, just ask for a kiss. ^_~

Enjoy!

THE ANSWERING MACHINE MEME

1. Post a comment with each of your characters with their Answering Machine/Voice Mail prompt.


2. Other characters will reply to these comments to leave your character messages.


3. Does your character call back? Either way--


4. FUN TIEMS FOR ALL.

 

You won't catch us with our pants down again! What's that? O-- Oh. Well, here's a slightly early...!

MID-MONTH MEME:
CUDDLY EDITION

• Post a meme with your character's name, fandom, and preferences (if any: for example "no #9") in the subject line.


• Find someone's comment that you want to tag and use the magic of the RNG to pick from 1-10 below. Or, you know. Just pick the one you like. We won't tell.


• Comment with your scenario and get cuddling!


• Disclaimer: Cuddling is not actually required. Feel free to play out the scenario for pure fluff without the snuggles, or assume an established relationship in which your character might be more willing to snuggle. Whatever works for you!


• ONLY CHARACTERS WITH THEIR NAMES IN THE NAME FIELD OF THEIR JOURNALS CAN PARTICIPATE. /hint

Numbers are below the cut...!

( This cut. )

This is for everyone who wants to find more people to plot/geek/hang out with but don't know how to go about finding them. Basically, just comment with your contact info and receive a billion plurk/whatever adds. (Then, go through a mysterious phase denoted by a series of question marks and, towards the end, profit!)

Here's a textarea!

<b>Name:</b> Your name <b>Character(s):</b> <b>Hangouts</b> <i>AIM:</i> <i>Plurk:</i> <i>LJ:</i> <i>Twitter:</i>

Obvs, feel free to add any hangouts I might've forgotten!

Is it... could it be... I think it really might be PAST time for...!

MID-MONTH MEME:
V-CARD EDITION

• Make a comment with each of your characters. They're compelled to truthfully, tell everyone the status of their virginity -- whether they like it or not.


• People are encouraged to comment with their characters' reactions and maybe additional questions. When? How? Why? Why not? What's the closest you've ever gotten?


• You respond, still honestly, and then maybe they respond some more, and on and on!


• ONLY CHARACTERS WITH THEIR NAMES IN THE NAME FIELD OF THEIR JOURNALS CAN PARTICIPATE. /hint


• Play nice!
