bakerstreet | WEEKEND WISH-GRANTING MEME (PLOT): come on and whisper what it is you want

The weekend is coming up, which tends to mean a lot more free time! RP is fun time, and the weekdays can be grueling. So what would put a pep in your step? What would make finishing off that work week worthwhile? What have you got an hankering for in particular?

NOW is your chance to express your unspoken desires to your fellow rpers! And now is the chance to do something that is kind, the chance to truly make someone's weekend by granting a wish!

TL;DR this meme: Share RP wishes and try to grant as many as possible during the weekend.

INSTRUCTIONS;

1. You may use one collective post or one post per muse. If the former, please be sure to include each applicable muses' journal name. Organize things accordingly within the post. Making use of titles to list fandoms, etc, makes for easy browsing. Of course, OCs are welcome!

2. Each muse (not mun) is limited to three rp wishes. You can have less, but not more. Choose wisely! Editing is allowed, obviously. If you really don't have any specific ideas or desires, providing a muselist of who you're itching to play and making three wishes for broad prompts is acceptable.

3. Anything goes, but include trigger-warnings/NSFW (18+) content in the TITLE of your request post, if applicable. The ONLY thing off-limits in this meme to request would be a long-term commitment. For example, wishing for someone to make an application into an RPG is too extreme to ask in this meme. When you think of wishes, think in terms of muses you would want to play against the most, or scenarios that could possibly be played out within only a few days.

4. Requests for meme-making/re-posting is also open. For example: "I wish for a Random Scenario meme!" or "I wish someone would make a meme based around a tea party!" Just use reasonable judgement on this, since we don't want to absolutely flood the community come Friday. Icon requests don't seem like a lot to ask either!

*Meme Requests: Decidedly, meme requests should cut be cut off on Thursday at 5pm OR if we have a confirmed number of ~10 that will be made/posted. That's roughly three requested memes per day which, given Bakerstreet's usual volume (and planning for the worst case: people post memes as normal ON TOP of WGW's request) is plenty. A posting schedule will be made by the WGW Mod of the Week (

enabling) on Thursday evening. If you're a poster/maker, you'll get a note of when you're due to post by the aforementioned mod. Of course, your posting date is only tentative and the mod will work with you if there's a schedule conflict!

*Meme Reposting: Please make an effort to find the original poster ask gain their permission to repost a meme, unless it's a fairly common circulating meme on Bakerstreet. When in doubt: just make a spin-off of your own.

*Icons: If you're asking for icons, be sure to include character, fandom, and any specifics. ALSO please indicate if you'd be willing to accept links to icons for said character that have already been made (aka, your fellow rpers knows where to dig better than you in this case). You may ask from 1-15 icons for a character.

** MEME REQUESTS HAVE THEIR OWN CATEGORY HERE.
** SO DO ICON REQUESTS HERE.

5. Go forth, read other wishes. If something strikes your fancy, reply to that post with your offer/affirmative (ex: "I will grant wish #3!")! Perhaps keep an open mind. If no one posts for your fandom, would you be willing to look into another for the sake of making someone happy for a weekend?

6. Be sure that, before you decide to announce you're granting someone's wish, you can make the commitment to whatever it is. If your wish-granting is conditional (ex: "I don't know this canon or muse and I'll have to research it. I can't promise that I'll be any good or like the character as much as I think now." or "I have to go to an appointment all Saturday.") be up front about this so no hopes get held up and dashed.

7. Be aware that this is only a promise for the weekend, nothing more, nothing less. Obviously, you may continue to rp beyond the weekend if you like, but the obligation ends when the weekend does (Sunday Night).

8. This should go without saying, but try to be as generous as you are wanting, and don't abuse the good will of others by spamming.

9. This is a plotting only post. On Friday morning (possibly midnight), the Weekend Wish Granted Meme will go up. Treat this as your musebox. Of course, if you can't wait, you may chose to move to a PSL of your own.

10. Love one another, spread good feelings. Your Mileage May Vary. No kink-shaming, etc etc. Be good to each-other!

DO's and DON'Ts: A Summary;

REQUESTS: YES Specific muses you wish to play against. Specific rp scenarios of any kind (G to NC-17), icons (1-15), meme creation or re-posting.
REQUESTS: NO Long-term commitments, like wishing for people to join your RPG, or wishing for a long, drawn-out plot. Try to think bite-sized terms.
WISHES: Three per muse, no more. Be judicious about icon and meme requests.
GRANTING: Think twice and make sure you're willing to make a two/three-day commitment. Be clear on any limitations you might have. Don't make false promises. Be judicious about doubling up on someone's wish. When in doubt, PM.
PREFERENCES: YES Squicks, desires, male/female pref, specific ships, kinks, AU ideas, descriptions, etc.
PREFERENCES: NO Expected tagging speed, literacy levels, basically anything rude and demeaning.
DO: Respect one another.
DON'T: Abuse the kindness of others by spamming requests.

** If, for some reason, this meme-maker is unavailable to post the follow-up at the correct time (Friday, roughly 12:01am GMT aka DW default time), or if someone is more committed to watching the clock, you have my express permission to post it yourself. You can find the template here. Do realize this would make you the moderator of that meme thread, thus responsible for the making and management of sub-threads and relevant coding. I'm here to help if you need it.

So we can't ask for other muses we'd be interested in tagging at all?

Of course you can! Anything goes!

The only rule is against asking for long-term engagements, such as asking someone to join a Game with you (Games here meaning places like Exit Void and Asgard Eventide). Joining a game requires filling out an application and making a commitment for an unknown amount of months.

Asking for someone to play a muse for you for just a weekend is very different from asking them to play that muse for a month.

Does that make sense? Sorry for the confusion! I'll shift the instructions accordingly.

I think #3 under the instructions may have been what was causing the miscommunication here. I've rewritten it and I hope that makes things a little bit more clear.

I don't have any particular icon wishes, but I'm willing to grant a few to others!

I'm willing to color icons. c: Please see the icons of this muse (and others of mine) for examples.

Notes: I am trying to fix my sleep schedule, so my awake/sleep times will be erratic. I am cooking on Turkey Day, and I have plans for the morning/afternoon with my mother on Friday. However, I am willing to extend my commitment until I get them done. Doesn't matter how long it takes.

I am only accepting humanoid characters. Sorry, no anthros nor beasts. :( I am not confident in my ability to do fur. Since coloring takes time, I will color a maximum of 5 icons per person.

If I get a lot of requests, I may deny some.

Please give me what artwork you want colored, as well as reference/color material of the character itself. Please credit thekt@plurk if you use it!

OOC: First time I does something like this but here we go.

Wish 1: It would be fun and sweet if Aaron here run into his ex-boyfriend Jackson (whom is dead in canon) and they could do something together.

Wish 2: It would be fun to play out some kind of mystery/detective scenario.

Wish 3: It would be amazing to play something out as dad!Aaron. Aaron could be a cute dad. Maybe not the best but still.

Preferences: When it comes to romance I would prefer to play against a male character. Aaron doesn't got a specific style although he's quite attracted to manly men, builders, rugby players, doctors etc. He's not one much for "gay queens" or players. He's a loyal bloke. He hasn't had many boyfriends however so he's new to being gay. I would prefer in-canon ships Aaron/Jackson or Aaron/Flynn. For out-canon ships I don't got one. I got a few AU ideas although those go towards sci-fi or fantasy. Lot of info about Aaron in my Profile.

1.) To play against any and all canon Inception muses in a meme of any sort.

2.) To play out another "job" scenario. This could be cross-canon. Either Dom is pre-movie (probably still post-Mal) or post-movie. He could be filling his role as Extractor or maybe someone is actually trying to extract/incept him?

3.) Barring that, just sharing a dream with someone could be interesting. We see this happens recreationally in Mumbai, so one can assume it could be a pass-time elsewhere.

Open to doing AUs and cross-canon stuff. I think, after Mal, he's probably passing/taking it slow on any potential romance things. So if you've a mind for shipping, we'd have to talk it over a little.
