END OF THE YEAR MEME
Hey-lo, good Mostly Harmlesspitanians! 2011 is finally coming to a close, huh? It's been a long and awesome year, filled with parties and plot and fun times had by all! Where'd all the time go, right? Welp, since it's been such a long year and there have been so many changes, bumps, swirls, and adventures along the way, it's time for a...
☄ ∭ CHARACTER RELATIONSHIP MEME ∭ ☄
What is this? Well, for the most part we're extremely lazy about keeping personalized CR charts up-to-date, so this post serves as a giant CR chart, a way to cover a lot of ground in one sitting! You can do this any way you see fit - you can use icons, symbols, paragraphs, charts, magic, puppies, lines, dots ... whatever! We all want to know how well or badly characters are getting along, inner thoughts, subconscious connections... FEELINGS. FEELINGS. This is the type of place where word vomit belongs! Tl;dr until the cows come home!
For those of you who are lazy or aren't sure how to organize your thoughts, or both, I've built a tiny template for you! Feel free to expand upon it, add symbols, add color, make it funny, whatever!
First Impression (Personality/Physically): (Your character's first impression of another character! If they've known each other for a long while, you can either bring it up again or stress how their impression has changed!)
Current Impression: (Pretty much the same as above, but more current!)
Crowning thoughts: (This should be how they feel this week, or how they're feeling due to recent happenings! Are they worried about the other character? Enamored with them? Mad with them? Etc!)
Subconscious/Subtle feelings: (Things that your character might have not quite acknowledged about the other character yet! Budding romance, Kinmanship, Kindred spirits, Friendship, Whatever! Deets, deets!)
Aware/Conscious feelings: (Things your character has acknowledged about the other character! Budding romance, Kinmanship, Kindred spirits, Friendship, Whatever! Deets, deets!)
Recent Changes: (Any changes in how your character views the other character? Why? What happened? Etc!)
Where It's Headed: (Where does their relationship seem to be headed from here? What plots might you want to do? Etc!)
You don't have to use this, of course! Just a suggestion! Actually, I'd love for you guys to mod it for yourselves and make it work for you. Diversity is fun! :>
Additionally, see a character you wish you had CR with? Say so! Approach people, plan things, plot ideas, cry about your characters, bathe yourselves in silliness! Now is the time.
So go, young RPers! Go, and TL;DR about your characters, and forge pretendy funtime bonds that make you smile like a loser at the computer screen!
An easy breakdown:
1. Post your name in the subject line (if you have a subject line, that is).
2. Provide your characters and their journals in the body of the comment.
3. You reply to other people and other people reply to you with who you want relationship info on. Like JACK on JILL, or JILL on JACK. Feel free to fancify that as you wish.
4. Write, write, write! Try not to skimp! ;)
5. ???
6. PROFIT!
Also, happy new year, everybody! ... I know it's tomorrow/day after tomorrow but shhhhhhhh.
