CR With Me | January 2015

[ironwood]

Welcome to the first CR meme of 2015, and of the new game arc! For players who've joined us since our last meme, these ~bimonthly memes are our opportunity to help establish an idea of what sort of CR you're looking for your characters. Because of this, we do ask that you be as specific as you can when replying to this meme! 'Our characters should team up to moon Tu Yunxu' is more useful than 'omg tag me.'

We have two helpful sections titled "Current Status" for a summary of what your character's been up to, and "CR Goals" for the plotting and discussion of gaps in your character's CR spectrum that you would like to fill! We've also got a section for indicating what kinds of CR you're especially looking for, as well as types of threads you're not interested in.

CR With Me Form:

<div style="font-family: Impact;font-size: 30px;color: #bf0206;padding-top: 0px;padding-bottom: 0px;">PLAYER NAME HERE</div> <font face="georgia"><b>CHARACTER:</font></b> <b><font face="georgia">CANON:</font></b> <b><font face="georgia">PERSONALITY:</b></font> Please give us a brief description of your character, to give anyone canon blind an idea of where the CR might go! <b><font face="georgia">CURRENT STATUS:</font></b> Optionally, you can give a quick rundown of what your character's been up to in the game and their short-term goals. <b><font face="georgia">CR GOALS:</font></b> What's your dream CR to obtain this month? Do you want to work on developing current CR or splash into something new? <b><font face="georgia">SCENE-DOS:</font></b> What sort of things are you looking to write with this character? Are you a prose sort of person or action spam all the way? Do you prefer network interactions to face-to-face? Do you like angst, fluff, drama, plot-based scenes, all of the above? <b><font face="georgia">SCENE-DON'TS:</font></b> What sort of things are you a little more lukewarm about in regards to this character, or would rather flat-out avoid? Do you absolutely hate writing negative CR? Would you sooner chuck you laptop out a window before you write one more slice-of-life thread? All those considerations can go here. <b><font face="georgia">ADDITIONAL:</font></b> Anything else you might want to add that doesn't fit into the above goes here.

Just as a side-note, I tried a couple of Science-Bro-mingling logs in another game, and they never worked very well. I think it was partly muns being hesitant to jump into threads, partly the general chaos that happens when you try to RP a conversation involving more than two or three people, and partly uncertainty regarding what characters could ICly know or figure out.

The irony is that I've had just the opposite experience.

In one of my other games, there was a collection of Science Bros and that particular log(s) went very well. But you're right--it all depends on the characters and muns.

Ah, well, I'm never afraid to experiment just for the sake of seeing what happens. If it doesn't, it doesn't.

If there is a happening, I will be involved in it.

Wonderful!

Admittedly, I do love her and Don's CR. It's not perfect due to character history experiences clashes and the like, but oh gosh the scene where he pouted because he couldn't keep the stethoscope...I kind of laughed a little at that, I admit.

[i_speak_softly]

I laughed through about 95% of that thread.

Glad I could entertain.
