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.

THE STAKEOUT MEME
Shh! Keep your voice down! We’re supposed to be watching that house across the street, remember?

Welcome to the wonderful world of surveillance, where the hours are long, the accommodations are terrible, and nothing interesting seems to happen when you’re looking. You’ve got a job to do, preferably without getting caught.

Twelve hours is an awfully long time to spend cooped up with somebody. Someone ate the last of the snacks, and your legs have gone numb.

Hang on. Did that curtain move?

HOW TO PLAY
- Post your character, canon, and preferences.
- Tag around and choose a prompt or roll the dice.
- Keep your eyes on the target. Try to stay awake.

THE PROMPTS
1. BINOCULAR HOG: You’ve been asking for the binoculars for the past twenty minutes, and your partner refuses to hand them over. They’re also providing a dramatic commentary on everything they see. Oh, look! A pigeon!
2. TERRIBLE STAKEOUT FOOD: Someone was supposed to bring provisions for the night. Instead, they’ve turned up with the smelliest, messiest food imaginable. You’re stuck in a cramped space together, and they’re offering you seconds.
3. ASLEEP ON WATCH: You agreed to take turns keeping watch. You wake up to find your partner fast asleep, and the house across the street has changed since you last looked. How long have they been out?
4. TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT: Someone’s coming toward your hiding spot! Quick, get down! There’s barely enough room for both of you, and whoever’s approaching doesn’t seem to be in a hurry.
5. MOVEMENT AT LAST: Six hours. SIX HOURS you’ve been waiting for something to happen, and now the front door’s opening. Where are the binoculars? Who’s got the keys? For crying out loud, MOVE!
6. THE COVER STORY: A curious neighbor has come over to ask why you’ve been sitting outside their house all evening. Your partner has invented an explanation on the spot, and you’re expected to play along. You’re married now. Congratulations!
7. FALSE ALARM: There they are! Your target’s on the move! You’ve abandoned your hiding place and started following when you realize you’ve made an embarrassing mistake. That’s not your target. That’s not even the right house.
8. THE OTHER STAKEOUT: Hold on a minute. See that car parked across the street? It’s been there as long as you have, and its occupants seem to be watching the same building. Time to find out who they’re working for.
9. THE TABLES HAVE TURNED: You were doing such a good job staying hidden, too. Your target has spotted you, and they’re making their way over. There’s still time to run, but your partner seems determined to stay put.
10. WILDCARD

Congratulations! You're getting married!

Well, eventually. First, there's the matter of the engagement, which can last anywhere from a few weeks to several years. Plenty of time to get to know your future spouse. You might even get around to planning the wedding.

Of course, the circumstances of your engagement might be less than romantic. There are plenty of reasons to marry someone you don't love, and some of them are even good ones. If you're madly in love, congratulations again! That's certainly going to make things easier.

Or so you'd think.

Whatever brought you to this point, there's a wedding somewhere in your future. What happens between now and then is...anybody's guess. And bound to be exciting.

HOW TO PLAY

• Post your character and preferences.
• Tag around and choose or roll from both banks. The first establishes the engagement; the second gives you something to play.
• At least try to make it to the altar.

A QUESTION FOR A QUESTION


YOU MAY KNOW EACH OTHER ALREADY - OR YOU MAY NOT. UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, YOU'RE NOW PASSING THE TIME ASKING EACH OTHER QUESTIONS. IT'S A GAME! A QUESTION FOR A QUESTION. YOU START OFF ASKING YOUR OPPONENT A QUESTION OF CHOICE AND IF THEY ANSWER IT, THEY'RE ALLOWED TO ASK YOU A QUESTION IN TURN. THE RULES ARE SIMPLE, ONLY AS LONG AS YOU ANSWER THE OTHER PERSON'S QUESTIONS ARE YOU ALLOWED TO ASK QUESTIONS YOURSELF, BUT THERE IS NO EXPECTATION OF TRUTHFULNESS HERE, LIE IF YOU MUST OR WANT, JUST KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING.

How to play -
1. Comment with your character's name, fandom and preference.
2. If you want, leave a question in the comment field that your character is asking their opponent. Or don't. I'm not the cops.
3. Pick other characters to question and have fun!

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.

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!
