[Jan. 18th, 2013|10:34 pm] |
Here's the random assignments for the Swap Plot! Contact the other person and you guys can decide if you want to do a personality swap or a body swap or what. If you decide you want to make additional pairings at anytime during the plot (Saturday 1/19-Sunday 1/27), that's fine too! You can decide when it happens and how long it lasts! Let me know if you have any questions. Starts tomorrow, so go wild!

| [Plot] Swap Meet! |
[Jan. 2nd, 2013|07:57 pm] |
We have a gamewide plot coming up soon! Unless there are any objections, plot is planned for Saturday, January 19 through Sunday, January 27.
There are a few options here.
A) Personality Swap: Two characters start acting like each other. You would keep the same journals, icons, players, characters, but they would act like the other person. They are still the same person, you're just playing them with the personality of another character.
B) Body Swap: Two characters actually swap bodies. In this case, players upload the icons of the other character to their journal (so that the 'bodies' have swapped), but continue playing their own character, who will probably be surprised to be in their friend's (or enemy's!) body.
Let me know if you have any questions, or if you have a third idea you'd like to try.
There are two signup methods, too! You can either talk with each other and pick the characters you want to switch, or the mods can do random assignment. If you want to participate but don't know who (or just want the extra chaos that comes with random), please comment here and tell me which characters you'd like thrown in the random pot.
Not everyone has to participate, but the more the merrier! |

Extending the musical plot for anyone that wants it. Most people have probably stopped feeling the effects, but if you missed out BY ALL MEANS keep going!! Don't want anyone to have missed out. :) |

[Jul. 12th, 2012|02:21 pm] |
SO! There has been a request for a musical plot. Who's excited? I'm excited!
Characters will burst into song, hopefully revealing FEELINGS and stuff. Because that's when people sing in musicals! They can sing already established songs, or you can make up new songs, whatever you like!
Musical tropes will show up, too. Random backup dancers! Flashy costumes! They might even hear applause after particularly good numbers.
Have fun with it!
I'm thinking June July 20th-27th, if that works for people!
Thoughts? Ideas? Gratuitous praise? |

[Apr. 29th, 2012|01:32 pm] |
The aliens that didn't get splattered have now left the system. I believe the Doctors went and had a conversation with their leaders, which may have played a factor. And all the fights from the heroes convinced them that it really wasn't worth it.
Feel free to continue action logs! We want everybody to get a chance to play as much as they'd like. Weird chaos things (Switched PBs, genders, etc.etc.) can continue for a while longer, or continue indefinitely, or disappear now. Whatever you guys want! |

| [plot] CHAOS, PHASE 2 |
[Apr. 22nd, 2012|09:30 pm] |
NOW FOR THE TWIST!
Guess what! Those villains that are causing all the weird and leading the heroes on crazy goosechases?
Yeah, those aren't really villains from your movies or books or tv shows or whatever. They're imposters! Alien imposters!
And someone just figured out what's going on, so they're starting Stage Two.
Stage Two involves them all (and a number of 'sleeper agent' NPCs) activating and beginning to look like creepy-ass aliens. They're violent and evil and will attack people! Big Damn Hero types might wanna get out and fight!
Aliens will be around and fighting until Saturday, April 28. Feel free to form teams and convoys and safehouses or whatever your guys would do if there was a full-scale alien invasion!
Weird chaos stuff can go away or continue through the week, whatever you want! |

People randomly bursting into song, musical-style
People getting hit by paint balls or water balloons when no one's around.
Body swap

Okay! If you called dibs on a villain-type, I'll be sending you an email soon with some details and stuff. If you haven't but want to, there's still time.
Starting Friday, April 13 (teehee!), weird stuff will start happening. Weird Stuff includes:
Genderswap
Age changes
Crazy weather patterns (chocolate rain, etc)
Minor powers (Summoning cupcakes out of the air, changing people's hair color at will, talking to plants, etc.)
People randomly bursting into song, musical-style
People getting hit by paint balls or water balloons when no one's around.
Body swap
PB swap
Surprise nudity
Portkeys taking people to random locations they didn't mean to go
People talking backwards or in languages they don't know
If you have more ideas, please ask the mods first, either here in the comments or by email. If it's silly little stuff, it shouldn't be a problem.
The "bad guys" should start showing up sometime after Friday, April 13. The bad guys will be around (and causing chaos all week) until Monday, April 23.
Once again, this plot is meant to be low drama, high chaos. Nobody should die, get kidnapped, tortured, raped, none of that. |

| PLOTTAGE |
[Mar. 27th, 2012|04:30 pm] |
Okay, we're working on an upcoming plot for mid April. We were thinking about having a BIG BAD, but thought it might be more fun to try a lot of Little Bads. Of course, it's hard to coordinate world domination, so these are going to be more in the flavor of Chaos.
We're looking for people to volunteer to play temporary PC's. This plot will last about a week. These guys are just going to create chaos and provide a foil for their canon counterparts. What we're really going for is low drama, high chaos.
To give you an idea who I mean, here are examples:
Moriarty (from Sherlock Holmes) - Jewels
Ethan (from Buffy) - Mandy
Discord (from MLP) - Chelsea
Q (from Star Trek) - Ash
Jareth (Labyrinth) - Sage
The Joker (from Batman) - Eric
Dead Moon Circus (Sailor Moon) - Katie and Chelsea
Flemeth (Dragon Age) - Josie
The Master (from Doctor Who)
Loki (Thor, mythology, whatever!)
Crowley (Supernatural)
Darth Maul (Star Wars)
Eris (from Greek Mythos)
If you guys can think of more chaotic types, sing out! Also, we're looking for people to play these folks, so if you see one you think you can wrangle for a week, let us know! If they're in italics, that means we have a volunteer.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST (In fact, we probably should've put this part first): Give us feedback! Are you guys excited for this idea? Do you think we're super-lame? Do you have extra ideas for the chaos? Amusing ideas for ways for your pups to get involved? Plot ideas you'd want to see instead? Tell us! We are totally flexible! |

| [Plot] Christmas! |
[Dec. 19th, 2011|10:27 pm] |
There have been some questions about what information pups are getting regarding their Secret Santa assignments!
They get a letter that looks more or less like this:
"Congratulations! You have been selected for the Mandatory Secret Santa Program! We are sure that the chosen recipient for your kind and thoughtful gift will be overjoyed to receive a surprise present from you!
You are to give a present to ______________.
You may either place your gift under the tree at Taunton School (Address provided), or you may send your gift to the designated P.O. box listed below.
Remember, this program is mandatory! Happy Holidays!"
The note isn't signed. Dumbledore isn't taking credit for this scheme. |

|
| [Plot] Secret Santa! |
[Dec. 16th, 2011|11:10 pm] |
Okay! Randomization is done, emails are sent. If you signed pups up for Secret Santa, you should have gotten your assignments. (Hopefully the formatting is okay, and you can all read it).
Just to clarify, what you got is your pup and the name of the pup they need to buy a present for.
A lot of your pups won't know the person they got. What they do with that will depend on your character. Maybe they'll try and do research. Maybe they'll ask a friend to ask around to find out what the person likes. Maybe they'll just buy them a scented candle and be done with it. A lot of that is up to you. Keep in mind that surprises are awesome fun, so try not to let the cat out of the bag too badly.
Rules
1.) Your pup has to get a present for the person they were assigned. It doesn't have to be personalized, it doesn't have to be nice, but it does have to be a gift. There are IC magical consequences if they fail to give the person a present. The IC and OOC deadline for present exchange is December 31, 2011.
2.) Don't use OOC knowledge ICly. I know this is a silly, harmless plot, but your character can't magically know the secret desires of a character they've never met (Unless they can.. But even then, remember you have to ask mun permission for telepathy!). If you can't think of an IC explanation for them knowing something (ie, asking a friend, following them around for a few days, etc.) then you shouldn't use it.

| [Plot] Secret Santa! |
[Dec. 9th, 2011|10:34 am] |
One of our players had an idea for a fun holiday plot! Secret Santa!
Comment here with your pup(s) that you want involved in the Secret Santa gift exchange. I'll randomly assign pups for them to buy presents for. They might have no idea who the person is, they might be friends, or they might hate them--WHO KNOWS?
Sign-up will be open for one week (until Friday, December 16th). After that, I will email you with the character your pups need to get presents for.
Hypothetical Example:
I play Watson from Sherlock Holmes. I sign Watson up for the gift exchange. I get an email from myself saying Watson is Isabela's Secret Santa. He doesn't really know her, but he does a little research (Maybe with Sherlock's help.) Sometime around Christmas week, he makes a post in the main UTR comm that says something like ( "To Isabela" ) and has a link to what he got for her. "A present left anonymously under the community tree for Isabela".
At this point, Secret Santas can either reveal themselves, or remain anonymous like Watson did, by leaving it at a community Christmas tree at Taunton. Anyone who tries to take a present that isn't addressed to them will become bright green, hairy, and covered in warts due to magic protection spells.
A few side notes:
Please only sign up your active pups. If you have a random character that you usually keep in the back of a closet, chances are not too many people in the game even know who they are. It will be more fun for other people if characters (or at least muns) know who they're getting presents for.
Please try to make sure you're able to pick gift ideas and post descriptions/pictures of them by the end of December. If you're a few days late, that's okay, but if you're going to be mega-busy over the holidays, don't sign up 20 pups because you probably won't have time to do it.
As far as IC explanation, this will be another 'weird and wacky vortex' thing, where pups (whose muns sign them up) get letters notifying them that they are participating in a Secret Santa exchange, even though they didn't sign up for one. This lets Grinchy pups get involved too, and allows for hilariousness. If your pup needs extra motivation, there can be some sort of punishment caveat (green, hairy, warts) if they refuse to participate. Bah humbug, indeed! In short, it is OOC-optional for muns, but IC-required for pups once you sign them up!
Sign up your characters for Secret Santa by commenting to this post! (Comments are screened for maximum SURPRISE!) Deadline for sign-up is 12/16. |

| [Mod Post] Plottage! Read! |
[Nov. 12th, 2011|05:21 pm] |
READ ENTIRE POST!
Hey guys! New plot for the next couple weeks! Nefarious NPCs (Mafia types) will start kidnapping pups. They'll send ransom notes to loved ones.
We don't have a number in mind, but we don't want ALL the pups getting kidnapped. Try not to have more than two or three of your pups go missing.
This is a good chance for the investigator-type pups to work their craft. We'll have the whole thing wrapped up by Thanksgiving (November 24), and everyone will be home in time for turkey. By that time, the Sherlocks will have discovered the kidnappers, the Batmans will have kicked ass and whatnot.
You can start now, if you want, or anytime over the next couple weeks. Keep in mind, if your pups go missing tonight, they will be out-of-play until Thanksgiving unless someone pays their ransom. If a friend pays their ransom, the person will be returned that day.
IMPORTANT! Please talk to the people your character has CR with before you decide to have your pup be kidnapped. This is an optional plot, so people to be able to opt out. Don't have someone's wife be kidnapped without asking them first. That affects their character, and they should agree to it before it happens.
The kidnappers won't do any torture, rape or murder. Do that sort of stuff on your own time if you must, but it's not going to be part of the plot.

HALLOWEEN PLOT IS GO! It'll go till November 2nd (Maybe a little longer, if people feel like it.)
Tag is halloween.
Monsters galore! Whatever kinda monster you want, provided it isn't immediately Earth threatening... If it is, just give the mods a heads up first.
What's planned for sure:
Vampires
Werewolves
Zombies
Darkspawn
Daleks (not an invasion, but a few here and there)
Erasers (which are.. kinda like werewolves)
And whatever you want!
Also, on Sunday or Monday there will be a DRAGON. He's intelligent, but angry. So far, he's just going to eat the Prime Minister of London, but if any one wants to flip out, that's cool. If certain Thedans just really want to kill a dragon, they can, but he's not that bad, really. |

So there's gonna be monsters! I'm thinking we'll start on Thursday, Oct 27 and go through Tuesday, Nov 1, just to give people more time.
In addition to the normal 'Vampires, werewolves, etc.' there will also be darkspawn. And whatever you want, really. Go nuts! |

| [plot] CARTOONS! |
[Sep. 9th, 2011|08:50 am] |
Hey! Cartoon plot starts now!
If you have cartoon icons, use 'em! Your people are now cartoons. Their swear words'll probably look like this: #&*%! (unless they're from 'adult cartoons') and I wouldn't be entirely surprised to find out that some of them just have a blank area 'down there'. ;)
If your people used to be animals or robots or whatever when they were cartoons, feel free to revert them back that way, if you want. Really, this pretty much an 'anything goes!' plot.
Not everybody will be a cartoon. Cartoon physics will apply to everybody, though. Living through explosions, giant cartoon mallets, etc.etc. I assume you've all seen Loony Toons at some point.
Tag is cartoon plot and it will run one week, until Friday, September 16. HAVE FUN! |

[Aug. 25th, 2011|01:07 pm] |
HEY LOOK! PLOT!
You know how we keep talking about a cartoon plot?
Yeah, we're actually gonna do that! It's one of those optional things. If you have cartoon/animated icons, use them. If you don't, it's okay if your pup stays live action. It'll be kind of a Roger Rabbit thing; not everyone will be cartoons. But cartoon physics WILL apply to everyone.
Example: Even if Indiana Jones still looks like Harrison Ford, if he falls off a cliff he will still have time to pull out a sign that says 'Oops!' and make a giant Indy-shaped crater (hat and all) before climbing out of the hole and being fine.
We are going to do it in two weeks. This plot will start Friday, September 9th, and will last about a week. Go find your cartoon icons if you want 'em! |

| What If? wrapup |
[Feb. 24th, 2011|06:38 pm] |
Hey!
So the What If? plot is officially wearing off. As with many of our plots, consider this a 'soft' ending. If you want it to wear off slowly, or if you still have things going with some pups, that's fine. As long as it's wrapped up by the weekend, it's all good. If you've already got your pups back to normal, that's cool too. And as with bendy time, logs can continue to be backdated or whatever. No rush.
As for remembering what happened while they were crazy, some pups are and others aren't. Totally up to you.
Ideas for future plots? Send 'em our way. We have a few on the back burner but are always happy to hear more! |

Okay, votes were pretty divided, so the What If? plot will be Feb 15th-Feb 23rd. It can go a little longer if it needs to so that everyone gets a chance to play.
Not everybody has to have their What If? happens at the same time. You can kind of stagger it if you want, so that they can react to eachother and whatnot.
Hey, people should totally comment here with ideas of what their pups are going to do! Because I'm curious and nosy. Hee. I'll comment too. |

|
| [Mod Post] Plot Incoming! |
[Feb. 4th, 2011|07:51 pm] |
Presented for your approval:
Our next plot will be the What If? Plot.
It's kind of like an AU plot, but here's the major difference: Instead of having a thousand random alternate universes to pick from, you take one major event in the character's past and say "What if that never happened?" or "What if ___ happened instead?"
So... What if Buffy had never been picked as a Slayer? Or what if Spike turned her into a vampire? What if Anakin Skywalker never fell to the Darkside to become Darth Vader?
You get the idea. We're not talking "What if Edward Cullen had been born a girl?" (That's a different plot). We're also not talking "What if Arrested Development had taken place in space?!" That's a cool idea, and all, but it doesn't really fit with this plot. You're always welcome to app crazy AU people. We don't want to stifle anyone's ideas!
Okay, so WHEN do we want this to take place?
Feb 7-Feb 13
Feb 15-Feb 21
Feb 21-Feb 28
Let me know! Vote! Comment! Ask questions! Share ideas! |

| [plot] Woo! |
[Dec. 11th, 2010|03:28 pm] |
Genderswap plot was a blast!! Thanks for making it awesome, ladies and/or dudes! Woo!
Okay, so Dumbledore got portkeys back to normal, so they shouldn't cause any more swapping. Any currently swapped people can change back whenever.. It doesn't have to be instant. It can 'wear off' as you see fit.
Now here's some Holiday plottage!
This idea is borrowed from a HP fanfic called Shoebox project. Wizard mistletoe is sentient. It hangs in wait, and then when two people get under it, it yells at them to kiss and forces them to kiss through various threats.
An example, from Shoebox:
"PUCKER UP," the mistletoe howls, with sadistic glee. "GIVE THE REDHEAD A GOOD SMOOCH FOR ME OR I'LL BITE OFF YOUR NOSE."
"WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?" the mistletoe demands. "TEN SECONDS. NINE. EIGHT. SIX. TWO."
"LESS TALK!" the plant shrieks. "MORE SALIVA! OR ELSE!"
So here's the deal: Albus has been working to fix the portkeys to stop swapping genders (His bad, by the way). He's also been decorating Taunton for Christmas, with special wizard mistletoe. It's festive! Well, apparently some of the mistletoe 'got out' via the portkeys, so mistletoe can be wherever you want it to be. It'll harass your pups until they kiss. |
|

| GenderSwap Plot |
[Dec. 4th, 2010|09:35 pm] |
Just to add to the pup confusion, the portkey effect is a bit delayed. They don't change genders right as they pop out.. Otherwise it would be pretty easy to figure out, and our pups wouldn't be so confused! Maybe 5 or 10 minutes later, they suddenly swap.
Feel free to have people starting to figure it out, though. |
|
|
| Yay Wrong Parts! |
[Dec. 3rd, 2010|10:30 pm] |

[Dec. 2nd, 2010|11:21 am] |
Hey peoples! Just a little reminder that the Gender Bending plot starts this weekend! Any time someone uses a portkey, their gender will be swapped! No immunity (unless they don't travel by portkey, of course).
So yeah, this is your reminder to go out and find some gender swapped icons for your pups! You can always ask around if you need help coming up with ideas.
This will probably start tomorrow and last all week, we'll make an OOC post to let you know when Go time is! |

[Oct. 25th, 2010|11:11 am] |
Halloween Plotiness!
We tossed around a couple ideas, but decided to go for something that gets us back to our crazy crack roots. (Thanks, Jack)
Magic Candy! Different types of candy are magically tainted in different ways. Some of it tastes weird (ie, Bertie Botts, chicken fried steak, wallpaper paste, pumpkin spice latte, etc.) and some of it gives you powers and some of it turns your dick invisible and some of it makes you taste colors. Go wild!

[Oct. 9th, 2010|11:09 am] |
Today, at approximately 1215 Earth Standard Time, a piece of debris hit the ship. Damage will need to be repaired, the course will need to be corrected, and the debris will need to be analyzed. It doesn't appear to be any recognizable object.
This plot involves primarily the Engineering, Operations, and Science subsets. If someone wants to get injured, we can involve the medical crew (Though I warn you, it might not be a fun trip.)
( Individual crew involved ) |

|
| [Plot] Space is GO! |
[Oct. 8th, 2010|10:14 am] |
As of about 5:00am, everyone is suddenly on a spaceship. The beds are probably less comfortable than what pups are used to. The rooms are pretty spartan, though there might be a poster or a family picture from home.
Crew: Pups that got crew assignments will have full descriptions of their duties on their personal communicators (ie, your smartphones are looking much more future-y). They will also have a closet full of uniforms. When their shifts start, they will get a spoken computer voice message: "Your duties will begin in one half hour." If your pups can't or won't perform their duties, that's totally fine! Just let us know.
Miniplots will happen throughout the week, so keep watching the OOC. If a plot affects specific crew members, I'll shoot the muns an email.
Passengers: There is the option to have roommates. Most passengers probably have them, unless they're very wealthy. If you want to pair up passengers yourselves, you can. If you have pups that you would like randomly assigned, comment here and we'll pair them up. We didn't have time to do everyone. |

Hey everybody!
First off, I want to give a huge thank you to Sarah, who helped out a ton with updating the wiki. We actually had to do two sweeps to get all the old stuff out. It should be squeaky clean now! You guys do a great job of taking pups off the wiki when you drop them, and we really appreciate that.
Now that the wiki is clean, we're going to put a temporary freeze on new apps until after the Space Plot is finished. We want the spaceship to feel somewhat enclosed, so we don't want pups appearing and disappearing.***
I'm going to be posting crew assignments and emailing everybody with room assignments today and tomorrow. Plot will start on Friday! Woo!
***We MIGHT be able to make exceptions at some point during the week, using plot devices and such. Please email us if you really want to app a pup before/during the space plot, and we'll see what we can work out. |

[Sep. 21st, 2010|05:00 pm] |
You guys had some great ideas, and I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to respond to each comment. We will definitely be using some of them in the future!
First, though, we're going to do the space plot!
edit;Unless people have objections, the plot will start Friday, October 8. It would run approximately two weeks, until Friday October 22nd.
Space: We're talking deep, deep space. They won't be able to pull up Earth (or any other home planet) on any of their nav screens. They will have maps, and they can find out which planets are habitable, but they won't recognize any planets. This isn't any one sci-fi universe.
Assignments: There will be crew assignments. Pups will find their uniforms in their quarters (aka, the mods will email you) Some of them will make sense and the pup may readily accept and perform it. Some people may freak out and not want to do it. If someone else thinks they would be a better fit, they can step up.
Quarters: Some pups (captain, crew) will have their own cabins. Others may be expected to share. We will send out random room assignments to those that have roommates. Those will last all week.
Challenges: There will be mini-events or challenges throughout the week. They might have to rescue a derelict vessel, they may encounter aliens, you just don’t know! Check the OOC, because there will be new things to do each day. |

[Sep. 10th, 2010|02:01 pm] |
OKAY DUDES! It's been forever since we've had a plot. We were hoping to do the cartoon plot, and it never got off the ground because it's super hard to find cartoony icons for everyone. I know some people were really looking forward to it, though, and we aren't ruling it out. We just need some help with the logistics. Feel free to comment here or email us with ideas.
Today, I bring you three five plots for consideration. I want feedback! Which ones do you like the most? Which ones sound boring? Which one do you want to do next? I'd like to see a plot happen before the end of the month!
COMMENT! FEEDBACK! VOTE!
Option One: ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE! I know we've done it before, but zombies are always fun, right? We might have a twist or two in mind, and we're open to 'twists' if you guys have ideas too!
Option Two: Flash Forward. This idea is blatantly stolen from the ABC show FlashForward. If you haven't seen it, what happened is that everyone in the world blacked out for two minutes and had visions of their life six months in the future. Some of them were with people they'd never met before, some of them were working on top secret projects, some of them saw nothing, and assumed they would be dead in six months. Would be a way to explore possible futures for your pups, and see what they would do about it, knowing their own future. I predict chaos.
Option Three: Alien Abduction. Random pups would be abducted. This plot might culminate in an 'invasion' scenario with pups having to fight off aliens. Or maybe diplomacy could save the day! For the abductions, we'd have the option of taking volunteers or having the mods draw characters at random, using a random number generator. Please let me know which method you would prefer, and will go with what the majority wants.
Option Four: Under the Rainbow... IN SPACE! Everybody would suddenly be on a big spaceship, traveling in space lightyears away from Earth. What will happen? Who will you be assigned to bunk with? What are you going to do with all those tribbles under your bed?
Option Five: Random Plot! Yes, we've done it before, but it's random! It's never the same plot twice! Once again, I would email you random things/powers/roles/missions for your characters. This time, we might divide it into three or four sections, so that not everyone is crazy at the same time.
Option Six: YOU TELL ME! Comment or email us with plot ideas! We are up for just about anything!
LOVE ONE? HATE ONE? TELL US! |

HEY GUYS!
Remember how we talked about doing a cartoon plot, and everybody was all excited about it and stuff?
We should totally do that! Sometime soon! Comment here if you need help finding cartoon icons of your pups! I know there are some people in this comm that are great at finding that stuff, and I've got a giant box of icons that you can dig through like a clearance bin at a yardsale. |

OMG late notice, I apologize, I totally forgot Easter was coming up this weekend, but for those of you who remember it (and those of you who’ve never heard of it) Jack & Bill’s Piratical Easter Treasure Hunt & Potluck is happening as usual, though it’s not at the vampirates’ London abode, since they’ve moved, and it’s not at their island home either, since it’s not rebuilt yet. It’s going to be at Anne’s place in Key West, same as usual it’s an all-day kind of deal.
I probably won’t put up an actual post for it unless I get super-bored, or if people are all: “Hey, you SHOULD put up that post because I’d tag the hell out of it!”, but as usual everyone’s invited, feel free to have your pups mention that they’re going/are there/were there and what sorts of shenanigans ensued. |

HEY! Totally optional plot-twist. If you want, you can swap random things with other pups now. See something you like? Go crazy. Stuff is wearing off on Friday for most people. |

PLOT!
I have emailed out random shit to everybody. If you didn't get an email, PLEASE COMMENT HERE!
Also, if you want more random stuff for any of your pups, let me know. I have a few extras.
You guys are hilarious. I'm totally cracking up already! |

Okay, unless anyone has any objections, plot will start this Friday night. That's March 12, probably around 8pm EST (or whenever you get an email telling you what brand of crazy your pups are getting). We'll plan for it to go about a week, unless people want to stop sooner.
I will be on semi-hiatus until then, getting ready for midterms of DOOOM. |

We're going to do random plot things here in a bit! Like, literally. I have a list of names and I'm going to use a random number generator. It's going to be kind of a SURPRISE! thing.
There shouldn't be anything overdramatic or potentially life-altering in here, it's just a standard week-long thing. If you want to opt OUT, tell me now so I can take pups off the list. Otherwise, I'm considering everyone fair game! |
