The Meme Idea Memem

So there's this meme you've really wanted to run, but you're afraid no one would be interested. Or maybe you have an idea and no time. All chatter about memes, past, present, and future, is welcome here!

Comment here about: memes you'd like to make, memes you'd like to see, suggestions, memes you want reposted, etc.
If it makes you more comfortable, you can comment anon. Just don't be a bag of dicks.
Have fun!

Less of this NO BLANK COMMENTS!!!! bullshit. Memes are supposed to be easygoing and fun, quit being so damn uptight.

(Anonymous) 2012-08-03 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
you sound mad.

to some of us, no blank comments IS fun. go play in your thousands of memes that allow them, and let us play in our few memes.

OOC sort of meme proposal

[personal profile] professaaaahhh 2012-08-03 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay so... A lot of people in the ooc type memes say they are open to crosscanon CR and/or shipping. However very rarely do they ever get specific, and crosscanon and crossmedium memes usually don't get too much traffic.

I know a lot of it can stem from the nervousness of not really knowing if the other player knows your character/likes them/whatever worries they might have...

So I have been thinking of doing a meme specifically to try and find and set up cross canon stuff.

Like instead of just saying 'Yes I am open to it' the point would be to specifically say the characters or types you are interested in.

You could say 'I'd like to play with anyone but I REALLY want to play with this character A From Series X and character B from Series Z' or 'I would really like to play with anyone from these two series' or 'My character is a vampire hunter in canon so I want to play with vampires from any series, especially ones that are different from my canon'

you get the picture.

Is this something people might be interested in?

What about memes with LESS choices.

For example: The porn scenario meme. There's SEVEN choice types and then there's TWENTY prompts under each choice. What about breaking the meme down into smaller memes? It would be a lot easier to respond to if they were smaller.

There's just a bunch of memes where the choices are overwhelming and it's possible some people would like to do more than one scenario.

(Anonymous) 2012-08-04 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
I imagine a lot of that could be solved by making the options more generalised since they seem extremely specific for just being prompts

I think 'no blank comments' type memes are an excellent idea though with the 'no blank comment' memes, more of them should probably provide an option for people to just give a short description of their character and what the mum is interested in playing.

That way: people don't have to tag blind as often, people don't have to post massive walls of text to cover all their bases on the meme, and musebox dumper sorts are at least slowed down (if not entirely put off) by being made to put in more effort than just switching accounts with LJ juggler.

I was thinking a Lovecraft-Cthulhu Mythos kind of meme would be interesting, but I'm not sure how exactly the play would work.

Sort of a "the Old Ones have awakened, what happens to your characters" type thing.

An embarrassing moments meme. RNG with a list of embarrassing moments of varying degrees of embarrassment from just a little bit to absolutely mortifying, and other muses catch them during it.

(Anonymous) 2012-08-04 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
An introduce yourself meme, intended to meet new characters. You post a blank top-level, as per usual, and other muses come along and introduce themselves, then ask you three questions about yourself. In turn, you get to ask them three questions in response and conversations are struck up from there.

I like the different effects/food kind of memes though. Fun, cracky, wacky memes too. Not too many repeated memes...But but how about? Faaantasy memes? Or ~*Magiiiical*~ memes? IDK man I am just all for EVERY MEME EVER.

An OOC 'enable me' meme!

You make a post, saying what kind of characters you usually play well/are interested in trying out, or what canons you're interested in, or a list of characters you've considered apping in the past- And then others can either suggest characters for you or just encourage you to DO EET if you've already got something in mind, but aren't sure of other people's interest in tagging with that kind of character.

[personal profile] professaaaahhh 2012-08-04 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Would an open post format work for that? I've been tinkering with the idea for an amusement park one. No RNG options, just a general description of the park, because I think everyone is aware of what's in an amusement park.

Also might possibly suggest that people who respond list a couple rides/attractions they might be found at. Optional of course, but it would provide a good starting point for taggers.

Movie scene reenactment meme?

Might not fly because you'd need two people who've seen the same movie, buuuut... I'd love to watch characters put their own spin on the "you complete me" scene from Jerry Macguire, or walk in on someone dressed up and dancing like Tom Cruise in Risky Business.

Obviously it needs a bit more fleshing out idea-wise, but...well, everyone knows about the 7 Deadly Sins and it's a pretty popular meme choice, but what about a meme that was based around the 7 Virtues instead?

Perhaps there's a prompt for each one, and the scenario involves the virtue in a way that the character must face it?
