RULES UPDATE May 5, 2019:

A TWO-WEEK RULE

= With the exception of scheduled memes (see list below), you are not to post any memes that appear on the last two Round-Ups.
Give each meme two weeks before posting them again.

Mod Post about the new rule can be found HERE.


Also remember to avoid using images that are too graphic or if you do place it under a cut with proper warnings.

Please do not post more than one meme a day using one journal / sock account (Added March 12, 2017)

Memeposters need to be available to mods! This has been added to the profile page now. We will ban journals without further notice if PMs are disallowed.

***

I would prefer this post NOT to be used for asking questions about the comm. We have a Report Problems/Concerns post at the Mods' journal. Even if your question is not exactly problem, it's best to comment there as then you'll get the quickest reply from one of the mods.

WE'VE MET BEFORE, HAVEN'T WE?
Haven't I seen you somewhere before?

It's an innocent enough question. People forget faces all the time, especially when they've got more important things on their minds. Perhaps you met at a party, passed each other in the street, or had a conversation that one of you has completely forgotten.

Then again, it's possible that this person knows you very well indeed. You just haven't recognized them yet.

How awkward! Particularly if there's a good reason you don't want to remember.

HOW TO PLAY
- Post your character, canon, and preferences.
- Tag around and choose a prompt or fire up the RNG.

THE PROMPTS
1. THE FAMILIAR FACE: Somebody stops you in public, convinced they've met you before. They can remember where and when, right down to what you were wearing. You haven't the faintest idea who they are.
2. THE WRONG NAME: A stranger greets you by a name that isn't yours. They know an awful lot about the person they think you are, and they don't believe you when you correct them.
3. THE OLD FAVOR: Somebody recognizes you as the person who helped them out of a difficult situation years ago. They've been hoping for an opportunity to thank you. Or repay the favor.
4. THE ONE YOU WRONGED: Someone remembers you from an unpleasant encounter in the past. They've been looking for an opportunity to bring it up again, and you've just given them one.
5. THE CHANGED APPEARANCE: You haven't seen each other in years, and one of you has changed considerably. A familiar mannerism, an old nickname, or an unexpected meeting finally gives the game away.
6. THE UNFINISHED CONVERSATION: Somebody approaches you to continue a conversation you apparently had a long time ago. They seem to think you've been waiting to hear from them.
7. THE REPUTATION: Someone recognizes you from a description, portrait, photograph, or story they've heard. Unfortunately, they seem to have formed a very definite opinion about you already.
8. THE FAMILIAR VOICE: You've never seen this person's face before, but you'd recognize that voice anywhere. The question is whether they recognize yours.
9. THE IMPOSSIBLE MEMORY: Someone insists they've seen you in a place you've never visited. They can describe exactly what you were doing, right down to the clothes you wore.
10. THE FORGOTTEN PROMISE: Somebody's tracked you down to remind you of a promise you made long ago. They're expecting you to keep it. You haven't the faintest idea what they're talking about.
11. WILDCARD

THE (november) FIGHT MEME



What else needs to be said? Release your inner warrior and partake in some epic (or hilariously bad) battles! Do you use a sword? Are you a martial arts master? Are you a wizard? Can you even fight?

It doesn't matter if you're just having a friendly spar or deciding the fate of the universe. You're suddenly filled with the urge to fight the next person you meet. Cut loose and show off your skills!

RULES

◘ Post with your character! List your fighting preferences if you'd like (Sparring, Death Battles, Anything Goes, etc.)
◘ Reply to someone else
◘ ROUND 1...
◘ ... FIGHT!

Here are some prompts to pick from (or RNG from):

THE POCKY DAY MEME

It's that time again!! For supernatural reasons that mere mortals could not comprehend, you and someone else are compelled to play this strange game of chicken, where there can only be one victor. You can be trapped, or just doing it as a friendly yet weird gesture! So don't be shy, this might even be the day you get your first kiss, you loser!

It's morning somewhere. But maybe not for you -- A little too late to be sleeping but y'know what? That's okay. People nap. Sometimes the bed is oh so cozy and you want to snuggle under a blanket and sleep forever. And you don't care if it's your bed or not. You're going to sleep. Like a boss.

Too bad someone doesn't agree.
Rules
The Poster is the character who is asleep.
The Responder is the one who discovers the sleeper.
Therefore, the Responder must do one of three things

I. Decide you know this person! (Castmate, previous threader, whatever.) Go to Random and Roll.

a. Wake them up - You don't care how friendly you are to the person in your bed; they need to get up.
b. Happy Awakening - Such a shame they're so deep asleep when you're in the mood. How about a nice wake up call? (if you don't like smut, keep this to cuddles, kisses, hugs, or reroll)
c. Prank! - Oh, this has just got to stop. They need to be punished. But how?
d. Let them Sleep - Whatever, it's noon. They're asleep and you got things to do. Regard them or disregard them.

II. Decide you have NO CLUE who this person is! (People that haven't threaded with each other before, crossovers, castmates who haven't met.) Go to Random and Roll.

a. Scream 'OMGWTFBBQ GET UP' - While this is probably the default reaction, it's a pretty honest one.
b. Prank! - What a better way for you to remember this moment of meeting than by painting a mustachio on your new 'friend's' face? (Remember, it's your bed. Be wise on what you do.)
c. Gently wake them up - Oh, the poor dears! They must be exhausted but they can't stay here. Be nice, even if it isn't IC for your character. This is what you get for rolling. Shake them up quietly. Or reroll.
d. Get to Know them NON-Biblically - Well, they're asleep. But they left their wallet, important work, or identification out (no matter how OOC it may be)! Let's see who's REALLY sleeping in your bed. 
e. Tie 'em up - FUNCTIONAL tying up. Not kinky, no matter what the other party might think. Let them continue their blissful moment of rest. They'll answer questions later and you'll be safe and sound.

III. Decide - f**k the police. You hear me right. F**k 'em.
You move forward and make your own fate!

Vampires and humans. Angels and demons. Ghosts and the living. The idea of "opposites attracting" is hardly a new one, but with the rise in popularity of supernatural creatures, aliens, and other sentient beings beyond our human understanding, the forbidden romance trope has been injected a shot of fresh blood- sometimes quite literally.

This meme does just that, taking the whole "not meant for each other" thing to it's most logical extreme. Of course, it's not always angst and depression. These days, mermaids and bird-people can have their relationships in peace to some degree.

Rules

• Comment with your character, putting any preferences you have (ie, "humanoid characters only," F/M, etc). Also, be sure to note your character's "species" for others to reference (Name | Character | OTA | Human, ghost, mutant, alien, vampire, god, zombie-catgirl hybrid, etc).
• Reply to others. If your characters aren't different species, feel free to AU or anything else like that.
• Use the rng to determine your prompt.
• Also I didn't think I needed to say this, but be excellent to each other. Dick comments and anon bullying are not on.

Prompts

1. Meeting: Did you know there were, I don't know, werewolves before this? Or maybe you thought all aliens were evil. Will this...thing change your perception?
2. Falling in Love: You know you're not the same, but your feelings don't care.
3. Self-Hate: Perhaps you're mad at the being you're in love with, yet you're more angry at yourself.
4. Can't Be Together: Whether for self-inflicted reasons or societal rules, you can't be in love with who your heart has chosen and it's

THE DARING RESCUE MEME


★ HOW DOES IT WORK?
1) Post as your character, listing your ideas and preferences for the scene.
2) The rescuer replies. They can select the scenario, or they can leave it to you to do it.
3) Whoever's doing the picking hits up the RNG to choose the scenario and reason - or just pick your own!
4) Play it out! You can play out the rescue itself if you want, or just the aftermath--or both.

★★ WHO ARE YOU RESCUING THEM FROM?
1] Their greatest enemy. For whatever the reason, the character's greatest enemy has finally made a move and taken them captive. Who knows what they plan to do to the poor character? Good thing you've come to save them.
2] Your greatest enemy. Your own enemy has decided to make a move against you--but not directly. They've taken this character hostage instead. Show them who's boss and rescue the victim!
3] Natural disaster. Come hell or high water, you'll save the character...and, in fact, it has come hell (in the form of fire, maybe) or high water (perhaps a flood?). Or something like that. Whatever. The point is, nature itself has it out for the character, and it's up to you to save them.
4] Wild animals. Stephen Colbert was right: bears are the number one threat. Or maybe lions. Make sure the character doesn't become dinner.
5] Supernatural forces. Actually, it's dragons. Or evil wizards. Or demons. Take your pick, just so long as you rescue the character from them.
6] Pirates. Just what the pirates intend to do with this character might be a mystery--could be they'll walk the plank, or worse. Time to pluck them from the hook-hands of danger.

★★★ WHY ARE YOU RESCUING THEM?
1] Love. The fairy tales have it right. It's true love that spurs the knight to rescue his fair maiden...or vice versa.
2] Friendship. It's not always about kisses and ravishing, you know. Sometimes, you've just gotta look out for friends and family, no matter what sticky situations they get themselves into.
3] Rivalry. Only you're allowed to dish it out to the character! Better make sure no one else gets in your way.
4] Debt. The character owes you, in one way or another. They don't think they can get off easy, do they?
5] Money. Plain and simple: you were hired for the task. It's nothing personal, just business.
