MONSTER'S BRIDE


There's a long precedent in folklore and myth of beautiful young people - both men and women - being kidnapped by monsters: dragons, beasts, goblins, demons, elves, vampires, wolves, or even evil humans. In the end, however, these prisoners are almost always rescued and brought back to civilization to live a normal and happy life.

But what if they didn't want to leave their jailor?

They've seen behind the surface and have begun to sympathize with this "monster;" no, more than that, they've fallen for them. Will this story have a happy ending? Will the monster believe that anyone could love them? Most importantly, though, can the two of them be left alone without any attempts at a "rescue?"


how to play
  • Comment with your character, your preference, and what role they'll play. Feel free to AU characters to your desired role.
  • Reply to others.
  • Thread anything that could remotely fit under the umbrella theme. Was the kidnapping just that, or did both parties know (and care) for each other before, making it a collaborative, mutual effort? Perhaps you'd prefer to play the actual Beauty and The Beast-style getting to know each other or seeing behind the grizzly facade. What about an attempted "rescue?" Or maybe you could thread out a scene where the prisoner runs away from the society they were forced back into and returns to their beloved beast! It's all up to you. You could even do smut if you wanted to, but this isn't a smut meme.

The Festive Fake Dating Meme
Oh no! Due to a plot device, you need a date this festive season! Hopefully one of your friends who you definitely don't have latent feelings for will do you a solid...
Who are you faking it for?
  1. Family. You need a date to show off at that family gathering.
  2. Friends. It's just so awkward [2X+1]th wheeling.
  3. Coworkers. Turns out that work party needs a +1.
  4. Wildcard. Let your creativity run riot.
Why?
  1. To get them off your back. Fine, if they're going to keep pestering you about why you're single, you'll just find someone to play the part!
  2. To piss them off. Sure would be a shame if you were "dating" someone wholly inappropriate...
  3. To win a bet. And they said you'd never find someone to date before the end of the year.
  4. To avoid awkwardness. You already claimed to be seeing someone, and it's too late to admit the truth now...
  5. Wildcard. Whatever else your heart desires!

LITTLE INTIMACIES
As recklessly, breathlessly romantic as big acts of emotions are, consider the alternative — life's tiny moments can be just as impactful. Steal a few to test my theory.

HOW TO PLAY
  • Lay all your love in a top-level. Preferences, pertinent info, any goodies that make you easier to tag.
  • Speaking of, spread some sunshine by tagging out. Tag a new person if that tickles your fancy!

CAN'T TOUCH




As chaotic as existence can be, you hold one standard bearer in your vision: you've never loved anyone or anything in your whole life as much as you love this person.

You can also never touch them.

HOW TO PLAY
- Comment with your character, ideas, etc.
- Get tags.
- Why, oh why, can't characters touch? Hand(heh)-wavy, world-building reasons.

 virtual / reality
a meme for plugging your characters into the mainframe

 

GREETINGS, USER_9432. WELCOME BACK.

The virtual world follows a different set of rules. There, you can be what you want, do what you want, dress how you want — hell, you can even fly! With so many cool, fun options, why would anybody want to spend time in the boring real world? 
VR is right there! Strap on your headset and jump in!

DO_NOT
 think too hard about the nature of reality, or the fact that your existence in this world is a lie, or that the outside world needs you.

Look at the neat outfits instead!


How to Play
  • LOG_IN — leave a top-level comment with some ideas of how you want your virtual experience to look. AU it so VR is the norm, or maybe a shiny headset just fell out of the sky.
  • ENGAGE_COMMUNALLY — reply to others and join their server.
  • COMMENCE — thread until your hard drives corrupt.


digital_space
places to go, things to do.

  1. reality_simulator - Everything in VR is exactly as it is in real life. It's impossible to distinguish.
    [See: The Matrix]

  2. period_piece - Ever wanted to live out your best 80's life? What about going back to the Dark Ages? In VR, now you can!
    [See: San Junipero]

  3. virtual_sex - Everything in the virtual world is mapped to your real senses. If you touch a fire in VR, it's going to burn. Likewise, if you bone in VR, it's going to feel great.
    [See: Striking Vipers]

  4. boss_battles - For the real gamers out there, why spend time doing things you can already do in the real world? Fight monsters! Kill dragons! You know, make it fun!
    [See: Sword Art Online]

  5. undo_loss - There's someone you miss, someone you really want to see again. Here in VR, you can. Sure, it's not exactly healthy to spend time with AI versions of figments from your past, but desperate times.
    [See: Be Right Back]

  6. find_love - Dating apps but ten times better! Meet someone's avatar, go on virtual dates. Find love in the digital world, and maybe their real-world co-part will measure up to the one you've fallen in love with.

  7. new_you - It's one of the best things about VR; you can be anything you want. Are you catfishing in the virtual world, or are you just trying on a new skin? Customize your look, your hair, your clothing, your gender, your body shape. We all know how long we spend on character customization screens.

  8. social_circle - Anything that can be done in real life can be done in VR. Going to bars, or clubs, or hanging out with friends — the only difference is that you don't need to leave your house.

  9. independence.exe - OFF PROTOCOL. WILD CARD.


reality.exe
the how and why.

  1. vr_hobbyist - Fortunately for you, there's no big, overarching reason for plugging into VR world. You just think it's neat!
    [See: Striking Vipers]

  2. irl_danger - The outside world is rough right now. In VR, things are safe, happy, and fun.
    [See: Ready Player One]

  3. error_unknown - Whoops! Looks like someone forgot to tell you that this all isn't real. All this time, you thought you were living in the real world, but you're not.
    [See: The Matrix]

  4. global_catastrophe - The world as you know it has ended. Everyone is dead. All that's left is the VR world.
    [See: SOMA]

  5. death_alternative - Sadly, it seems like you might be dying. Rather than passing on to the other side, why not send your consciousness to VR heaven instead? Complete with a trial period to see how you like it!
    [See: San Junipero]

  6. life_alternative - Doctors are running about a million tests on you, searching for a cure. They could leave you unconscious on the operating table, or they could send your mind somewhere else. A bit of peace for your brain.

  7. trapped_being - Unlike those who don't know they're here, you're fully aware that this world is a simulation, but you're unable to escape. Some greater force is keeping you here.
    [See: Black Christmas]

  8. vr_addiction - Things in your life aren't going so great. Why not drop all that and pull on a headset? Life is so much easier when you're a collection of pixels.
    [See: Kiss Me First]

Frost Fair

Frost fairs are festivals held on rivers that have frozen over during the winter, sometimes in conjunction with Christmas markets.


( how to play )
Top-level posters, please provide a few options as to what your character is doing at the fair. What type of booth are they running? What kind of performances might they engage in? 

Prompts:
1. Booths - The booths and vendors of the frost fair are one of the greatest draws of any festival. Warm food and steaming drinks can be bought, along with handcrafts and rare imports from across the realms. Plenty of fairy vendors are here, and one of them is creating little ice sculptures for sale upon request.
2. Performances - Plays and hand-puppets can be found throughout the fair, along with jugglers, acrobats, and all types of musicians. Be careful not to slip on the ice, if you're performing, unless that's part of your stunt!
3. Sled-races - If you're feeling competitive, there are several races to be had along the frozen course of the river! Find a sled, find someone (or something) to draw it for you, and join the race!
4. Ice-skating - Simple ice skates that can be strapped to the bottom of your boots are available at several stalls on the edges of the festival. 
5. Sleigh Rides - Sleighs led by reindeer stand waiting near the edges of the fair, ready to take you up the frozen river and out across the snowy landscape. Some of these reindeer even fly!
6. Within the Tents - There's a tent city spread out across the frozen city, with plenty of rugs and braziers to help warm you. Many of the tents are set up as conversational salons and artist studios. Rumor has it that a few of these luxurious tents are being run as brothels.
7. Snowball Fights - There are plenty of drifts about, if you would like to play in the snow, build a snow person, or just leap into the biggest drift you can find.
8. Ice Sculpting Contest - Try your hand at sculpture! There are large blocks of ice and tools available for anyone who would like to make an entry into the ice sculpting contest.
9. Frost Fairy Mischief - Some of the fairies at the festival are out and about with mischief. You might find your possessions frosted or your hair turned white as snow, or you yourself might begin to turn to ice! It's said that the only cure for frosty mischief is a kiss.
10. Wildcard! - All manner of wintry magic and fun can be found at the frost fair, if you so please.

Tʜᴇ Mᴇᴍᴏʀʏ Sʜᴀʀɪɴɢ Mᴇᴍᴇ



1. Post your character! You may want to include a small summary or link containing information about what kind of memories your character may have to share.
2. Include content warnings for any characters with memories that may be triggering or otherwise upsetting.
3. Create a scenario using the lists below, or make your own!
4. Tag around and have fun!



ᴄʜᴏᴏsᴇ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴍᴇᴍᴏʀʏ


A. Warm Fuzzies - Fond memories of happy times. May or may not be bittersweet.
B. How Shameful - Embarrassing memories. Whoops! Hope no one ever finds out about this one...
C. Are We The Bad Guys? - Highly incriminating memories. Everyone makes mistakes, but yours might just be unforgivable.
D. Don't Cry - Tragic memories. Remember that really painful thing that happened and completely changed the course of your life? How could you forget?
E. How Dare You - Infuriating memories. Just thinking about it is going to make you mad again!
F. 2spooky - Jumpscares: The Memory. At least now you know why your friend is so scared of clowns.
G. Send Lewds - NSFW memories. But will it inspire a recreation, or just earn you a slap in the face?
H. Wildcard - Any memories not covered above, or a combination of a few!


ᴄʜᴏᴏsᴇ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴍᴇᴛʜᴏᴅ


1. Magic Mirror - Standing in front of the magic mirror, scenes of your past begin to play out right before your eyes! Do you try shattering it to make them stop? How are you going to explain what's being shown to the person next to you?
2. Sweet Dreams - It seems you've fallen into someone else's dream tonight, while they're taking a stroll down memory lane. Will you intervene to alter "history"? Or just watch as things play out?
3. A Picture's Worth - You've stumbled across a photo album containing photos of their past. Are they embarrassing childhood photos, or maybe something more? Or perhaps they're photos neither of you even knew existed.
4. Someone Else's Shoes - Not only are you seeing someone's past, you're living it! Have you taken the place of a bystander or acquaintance in a distant memory, or are you simply seeing through their eyes? Either way, time marches on, and you'll just have to watch as things play out.
5. Mutual Awareness - Be it through a magic spell or some other means, both of you have suddenly become aware of some secret from the other person's past. What will you do with this information?
6. Dear Diary - You found someone else's diary and just couldn't resist taking a look. But will you regret what you've found? Or maybe someone found yours, and now they know all your secrets.
7. Somebody Once Told Me - You've heard about someone's past through the grapevine, and now it's time to confront them over it! Or maybe you know someone else has been filled in, and you want to clear the air first.
8. Flashback Attack - Something happened that reminded you of your past, and for whatever reason, you feel compelled to share. Is it something serious? Or did that cloud just remind you of the time you fell on your ass at Disneyland?
9. Truth Serum - The literal kind, or just some social lubricant in the form of alcohol. Either way, you've taken something that's making you feel the need to open up about yourself, and maybe share something no one else knows about.
10. Wildcard - Have some other idea in mind, or want to combine any of the above? Pick this option!

 let's get inked
a meme for seeing your character with some added decorations

 
On average, one-third of the population has a tattoo, with one out of every four people having more than one tattoo. Once upon a time, this may have seemed aggressive or 'thuggish,' but nowadays, tattoos are a staple in most cultures. Tattoo shops can be found in cities across the globe, and the idea of body modifications becomes normalized by the day.

Time for your characters to hop on the bandwagon.


How to Play
  • Leave a top-level comment with which role you'd like for your character, and maybe a few ideas to get the ball rolling.
  • Reply to others and decide on a scenario to start.
  • Make magic happen!
    • Feel free to mix it up. Two tattoo artists grabbing coffee? Two best friends getting tattoos for the first time? An AU where tattoos mean something? We're here for all of it!
    • And show us the tattoos! We want to see the art!


getting a tattoo...

  1. first time - We all have to start somewhere. With any luck, your artist will be cool, kind, and totally reassuring throughout the whole process.

  2. tattoo therapy - Things are pretty weird right now, so a tattoo feels like a logical solution. It's more permanent than other coping mechanism, but it also looks a lot cooler.

  3. cursed!au - This tattoo isn't normal. It's dark, and it's bad, and it grows. Hopefully an artist might have some idea what to do about this, but don't hold you breath.

  4. killing time - It may surprise you to know that tattoos take a while, especially the big ones. It's not out of the ordinary to make small-talk with your artist. Or... big talk.

  5. something specific - You know exactly what you want done; you've got it all planned out. Now, you just need an artist to translate your words into art.

  6. bad reaction - The pain, or the anxiety, or the sight of a needle is leaving you in a bad way. Did you pass out? There's always someone who passes out.

  7. wholesome!au - Contrasting your artist, maybe you have a much softer career, like a florist, or a barista. Who'd have thought the sweet, local music teacher is secretly decked out in tattoos?

  8. under the influence - Most places won't work on someone who's clearly drunk, or high, or otherwise not in their right state of mind, but maybe this place is shadier than the rest.

  9. or bring your own - Your body, your canvas.


giving a tattoo...

  1. the apprentice - Fresh-faced with a sketchbook full of doodles, you've been waiting your whole life for a chance to ink someone up. Let's hope it goes well!

  2. the master - This is your shop, with your name on the wall. People come from far and wide for a chance to get one of your world renown tattoos.

  3. magic!au - Your tattoos have a little bit more spice to them. Maybe it's something in the ink, or maybe this is an ability coming from you alone. Tattoos you give have power!

  4. dealer's choice - They've got no clue what they want, so it's time to come up with an idea together. If they really trust you, they might even leave this piece solely in your hands.

  5. basement shop - Not exactly above board, but people in your community know about this hobby of yours. You've got friends who stop by. Maybe, one day, you'll make a lucrative business out of this.

  6. amazon tattoo gun - Did you know you can buy your very own tattoo gun online? It's true! Seems like the thing that should have more checks and balances in place... oh, well. It's here now, so time to get doodling.

  7. burned out - You've been doing tattoos for so long, the love has died away. Maybe you need a new, lush canvas to spark some creativity.

  8. pierced - Not exactly a tattoo, but while they're here, why not add that belly button ring they've been dreaming of?

  9. ink your own adventure - Go wild.

the end meme

 

how are you spending your last days on earth?



What if I told you that the world was gonna end? And you had 15 minutes to spend with me or your friends? Would you take the first bus over to my house? Or would you take the last plane over the West Coast?
Mike Krol

So, the world's ending and nobody knows about it. That's cool. It could be an impending nuclear meltdown, or aliens, or a meteor on a collision course with Earth. You know this is coming, but everyone else in the world is blissfully ignorant. And why would you want to ruin their peace? It's better to let them be happy.

Besides, you can pack a lot of shit in a couple of days.

Better get started.

 comment with your character + prefs.

— live out your last day(s).
— optionally, thread out what happens next, if you want a neat apocalypse thread.


 

potential ways to spend your last day(s).
Last Love. Romance but make it sad. 
Apologies. You can't leave this world without making your amends. Time to call up everyone you know and tell them you're sorry for that bad thing you once did seven years ago. You remember that thing?
Doomsayer. To hell with ignorant bliss. You're telling everyone just what the hell is going on here! Who cares if it starts mass chaos?
Bucket List. There's a lot you've wanted to do and you've only got so much time to do it all. Starting with...
Memories. You want to end things on a good note, so why not spend these last days making great memories? Or reminiscing with someone about old ones?
Sad Sack. You know, crying in bed is also a valid option. This is a natural reaction. Please don't feel ashamed. Do you need some tissues?
Doomsday Preppers. You're not sitting on your ass, no sir. When the end gets here, you want to be prepared. How many cases of water can fit in your basement? Let's find out. 
Goodbyes. If you're not going to give out apologies, you can at least say your goodbyes to people. Making a phone call, turn up at their house unannounced, it doesn't matter. The world is ending!
Denial. Yeah, no, everything's fine. This is great. It's probably all a hoax, after all. You're not letting this bother you one bit. In fact, you're opening up a spreadsheet and getting back to work.
Panic. The most realistic response, if we're being honest. Sometimes, you need to lose your shit in a blind panic and you need others to calm you down. And that's okay.
Squad Up. You're building your dream apocalypse team. Let's see, you need someone who's good with guns, a computer nerd, a getaway driver...
Party Hard. Hello? Has Prince taught us nothing? If the world's going to end, you're sure as hell not seeing it all go down while sober.
Best Day Ever. Your last day is going to rock. You're going to make it great, and buy all your favorite foods, and watch all your favorite movies, and it's going to be awesome.
Lawless. Punch a cop! Kiss a grandma! Who cares! If the world is ending, there are no rules!

Wildcard. You're doomed! Have fun!


possible ends.
Zombies. A dropped vial in Brazil can set off an outbreak in Texas.
Aliens. They're taking over the planet, here to enslave humans or something. Or maybe they just want to be friends! Quick to judge much?
Supernatural. Demons? There are demons now?
Meteor. Maybe a big, strong, flying superhero could punch that thing back into outer space.
Nuclear. War? War never changes.
Biotech. Something about messing around with human lives never sat right with you. And look who was right all along!
AI. Looking at you, ChatGPT.
Toxins.  Something got into the air that wasn't supposed to. Spooky, scary mutations imminent. 
The Unknown. Just because you can't see something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Have we forgotten Bird Box already? Don't look. Or maybe it's the other way around? Blink and it gets you.
Nature. The trees are fighting back.
Biblical. Oh, ye of little faith...
Horrific. Something creepy, and twisted, and wrong. Something out of a horror novel.

Wildcard. However it ends, it's not going to be great.

   Magical Beach Bar Meme


Whether you're on a tropical vacation or you're not entirely sure why this thing is here at all, you've found the Star del Mar— a seemingly normal beach bar that's built just to get you into Situations. Come have a drink, and maybe end up somewhere you didn't mean to be.

This is meant to be a lighter fare meme for easy jump-ins and match-ups, but as always, putting some prefs in your toplevel will help others know what you're looking for.

Warning: while it's meant to be played light, this meme includes themes of unreality, alcohol influence, judgement influence, and potentially other subjects that come with being forced into a place you didn't mean to go.

  1. A Lover's Bar: You're here, and you're ready to drink. Maybe you planned to be social, maybe you didn't— but you're not really going to waste the chance to hang out and relax in a beach bar, are you? It's sunny, the drinks are good— but there's no solo seating. You'll have to sit at the bar with everyone else, or share a table with someone, because no one will bring you a drink otherwise.

    Not a fan of socializing and managed to find a table all to yourself? Ah, too bad. The place is definitely enchanted, and just as you've sat your butt down somewhere you think is unoccupied, you'll look up to see a partner magically at your table. It's a bar for the lonely, after all.

  2. We're under a Star: Or perhaps you've come here at night when the sea breeze is cooler. You'll find the whole place decorated with torch lights and neon, and you might even catch a few employees serving drinks around fire pits just outside the bar. They're even offering boat rides at the lagoon nearby, which is absolutely lit with some kind of weird bioluminescence no one wants to explain. Ah, well, it's probably safe to just drift along with your thread partner; there's drinks in the cooler, enough room for you both to lean back, and the little boat path probably leads right back around to the bar. Probably.

  3. Bottom of the Jar: You've gotten toasted. Twisted. Terribly drunk. You've drunk so much, in fact, that you've blacked out— whether or not that's something you're used to. But when you wake up, you're not at your beautiful bar anymore at all. You've woken up on a desert island with nothing but a cooler full of drinks, a pair of fishing poles, a lean-to shelter from the sun, a pair of chairs decked out with beach umbrellas— and your thread partner. The sun seems far from setting, the weather is perfect, the sea smells crisp, and you're not in any immediate danger— maybe you can chill for a while before you start freaking out?

the ouija board meme

Happy Day Before Halloween!

Created by a toy company, “ouija” comes from the French and German words for “yes”, though some people say that it is actually an Ancient Egyptian word for “good luck”. Some even say that the board named itself...

With this toy, many people say that you will need it. While it has been known as a popular way to conduct séances, others have come to know it to be dangerous because amateurs don’t follow the necessary rituals to protect themselves and others, often unleashing demons or getting possessed by malicious spirits. Yet, others say that it’s all in the user’s heads and that no spiritual contact is really made.

Knowing this, do you dare take the heart-shaped pointer and allow a spirit to use you to spell out its messages via the letters and phrases on the board?

WARNING: This meme has some horror elements, so depending upon how the prompts are interpreted, it might or might not trigger someone. Please be sure to ask if you're not sure!


directions

1. Don't ever play alone
2. Make sure you have some salt
3. Comment with your character, preferences, etc in the subject
4. Roll a number between 1-10 for a prompt
5. Reply to others and play the scenario out!
6. Pray hard that nothing evil will come…


prompts

1. WRONG NUMBER ❥ Let’s just say that instead of contacting your dear old grandma, you got Thomas Jefferson or someone a little more sinister. Remember: Don't talk to Zozo.

2. SUMMONING ✖ Instead of getting possessed or contacting a spirit, you opened a gateway for them to come through. Are they kind ghosts? Or demons?

3. TROLL ★ Ajhdfllhjd thesesdkj messklhjagesflkhgb sxdkarelhjds messkjsedd gouokp

4. HELPFUL ❥ Awesome! You are one of the lucky few: someone who actually contacted a spirit that isn’t going to try to kill you. Be sure to thank them for their time!

5. CHATTY ✖ Oh my goodness, finally someone decided to talk to me. Do you know
how boring the spirit world is? Let me tell you, I have all eternity to complain!

6. POSSESSION ★ We warned you not to mess with the dead, but did you listen? No. Now your body, or the body of someone else in the room, is host to a malicious spirit.

7. ODD ANSWER ❥ You asked a specific question, but for some reason, the answer doesn’t make sense. Or does it?

8. POLTERGEIST ✖ Hey, you’re the one who let those frat boy spirits into the house. You clean up this mess and pay for those hospital bills.

9. NOTHING ★ You keep trying and trying, but nothing seems to be working. Man, this blows.

 0% hurt, 100% comfort

Who in the world could hate kindness? Sweetness? Conscientiousness? All of us, on some level, like to be pampered and taken care of, from the most churlish to the most pleasant. Yes, even those grouchy grumps, or, of course, the cool-headed psychos -

Okay, maybe not all of us to the same degree.

Regardless of your disposition, somehow, you've gained a doting significant other. It seems like they find their greatest pleasure in taking care of and looking out for you. This may manifest in them simply trying to keep you entertained, happy, and healthy; it could also come in the form of them being a domestic doter, taking care of all your needs. Be it the former or the latter, there's an inherent adorableness that comes with their efforts and generosity, and in return, you have an urge to protect and care for them. They're just too precious for this world! Only, you know, there's a good chance you can a. ignore this, because you're emotionally stunted and full of wo/manpain, or b. repress it because you're a badass and would never.

Unless you've completely disregarded all that because they're just too much and you want to hold them forever.

So, how do you feel about all this? Do you wish they'd stop with this foolishness (not really)? Are you pushing them away? Are you embarrassed? Maybe you're absolutely taken with them! Just realize that you have it incredibly good.

HOW TO PLAY

• Comment with your character, preferences, their role, any info, etc.
• Reply to others.

ROLE

• Usual: This is how they always are. "Caring" is in their nature.
• Unexpected: They don't seem like the type...but with you, they are.
• Terrible at It: They're trying hard, yet it seems like they fail at trying to take care of you. Depending on who you are, though, that may just make them more endearing.
• Because You Like It: They heard you like those who are sweet and kind, so they're trying to change their ways.
• Not Together: Technically, you're not together romantically, but everyone knows the truth.
• The Doted Upon: What it says on the tin!

PROMPTS

• Feeding: Whether they cook for you or have moments where they feed you, literally, they take your nutrition seriously.
• Massage: Let them work out all those kinks.
• Clean You Up: Here, they've drawn a warm bath for you.
• Dress Your Wounds: If you're the kind of person who gets in battles, they'll see that you're all patched up.
• Singing: Or telling stories, or otherwise calming you down.
• Lap Rest: Sometimes, their lap is the best pillow.
• A Shoulder to Cry On: When you have troubles, they're always there to listen.
• The Calming Force: If you have moments of terror from past trauma, they're always willing to put themselves on the line to bring you back to reality, even if it puts them in danger.
• Soft Kisses: Their kisses feel so good, and they're never demanding.
• Head Pat: Sometimes, a simple gesture can mean the most.
• Grooming: They'll fix your hair - or at least play with it - and help you shave.
• Gifts: Homemade or expensive, they like to shower you in presents.
• Lovemaking: The obligatory smut option, where they're a generous lover.
• Protector: They look out for you, and while they don't seem that way, if you're threatened, they get like a bear protecting her cubs.
• Gentle Giant: They make you feel so small and delicate.
• Reverse: For once, you want to dote on and take care of them.
• Unwilling: It's a wonder they still try to care for you, because you're cruel to them and rebuff them at every turn, even if you really don't mean it.
• It's Okay to Cry: They never get upset because they don't want to put that on you. You want to let them know they can let it all out.

 THE BDSM CLUB MEME

 
 

 

It's a classic scenario: you walk into a BDSM club, and you get your BDSM on. We've all been there. It happens every day. And now with the pop culture influence of novels like Fifty Shades of Grey, there's a greater chance than ever that your character finds themselves in such a space.


What are the rules? How does it work? Well, upon entry, character and given a bracelet that designates them as either a Dominant or a submissive. From there, things are just like any other club experience! Meet new people, grab a few drinks, watch as someone does a live demonstration on spanking your submissive.

Normal stuff, really.



HOW TO PLAY
1. Drop a top-level with some prefs. Make sure to specify if your character is a Dom or a sub. They can be both, too! Maybe there's a special switch wristband?

2. Tag around and get into it!

 

 

  • taking in the sights There's a lot to see. Before jumping into things, maybe you'd just like to watch for a while.
  •  

  • negotiations The crux of all BDSM scenes: talking things out ahead of time. What do you like? What don't you like? What are your no's? It's probably best to square this all away before getting started.
  •  

  • tools of the trade Now that we're here, we're going to need some gear. This party has everything!Floggers, paddles, whips, electro-stim, a man who'll punch you in the balls at random intervals.
  •  

  • overstimulated It's a lot! Sometimes your mind and body get overworked, and you get pushed to the max of your capabilities.
  •  

  • subdrop / topdrop After all the endorphins run out, it's possible to enter a state of X-drop, where your mind and your body just feel... bad. Guilt, self-consciousness, shame, embarrassment, all of these feelings might creep up.
  •  

  • new partner First time here? Series regular? In either case, it might be time for you to try on someone new, someone you haven't played with before.
  •  

  • ol' reliable Whether my happenstance or by careful planning, the two of you always seem to be here on the same days. You've played together, you work well together. Setting up a scene for today just seems natural.
  •  

  • clean up Before the show begins, or after the fact, it might behoove you to do a bit of tidying up. No one wants a stinky partner, so a quick shower and a floss should do.
  •  

  • aftercare Drink some water, eat some snacks, cuddle up with someone you trust and rest.
  •  

  • wildcard Whatever else this party might have for you.

On The Run Meme

Maybe something went wrong, or maybe it's just another normal day in your life, but you've found yourself on the run. Did you commit a crime, or cross the wrong person, or simply end up in the wrong place at the wrong time? Whatever the reason behind your situation is, your goal is the same: don't get caught.
 
How To Play

• Comment with your character, and if you're feeling ambitious put in a bit of a starter. Who are you running from and why?
• Respond to others, either as their partner on the run or part of the force chasing them.
• Have epic adventures, fall in love, utterly fail and get caught. See how it goes!
• RNG for some extra unpredictable fun.


Scenarios

1. Running from the cops. You broke the law, whether it was shoplifting or murder, and now you've got a warrant out for your arrest.
2. Attracted the wrong attention. You made someone angry, or obsessed, or otherwise drawn their ire and now they're after you.
3. Somewhere or somewhen. You've ended up in a place and/or time in which you're not welcome.
4. Wildcard!

Relationships
1. Friends (or more.) You've known each other for awhile and are on good terms, so hopefully you can rely on each other in this situation.
2. Circumstantial allies. Strangers, enemies, or otherwise you've ended up in this mess together, and it might benefit you both to cooperate.
3. Opposite sides. One of you is the runner, and the other is pursuing. Which will prevail?
4. Wildcard!

Complications

1. Late to the party. How many people did you piss off? In addition to whoever was already after you, someone else now is as well. Maybe they'll take each other out?
2. Confrontation. They've found you, and it's come down to a fight.
3. Disguise. You can't evade them, but you can hope they won't recognize you. Better be a good actor!
4. Wildcard!

The (possibly AU) Incest Meme

Incest is, despite its taboo nature in most societies, actually a pretty popular convention in both romantic fiction and works of a more erotic bent, in everything from period or fantasy pieces to series taking place in places like modern day Japan. Still, the most common configuration in these fictions are the pairing of siblings. Perhaps this is because of the usual lack of age difference and power dynamic that exists in child/adult relative pairings, though this is not always the case. Because of this, a sexual or romantic relationship between siblings can almost seem, well, romantic in the right light. Of course, more often than not, there's a dark side under the veneer of forbidden love.

This meme is for those who would like to play out that, either the darkness or the light - or both.

HOW TO PLAY
-Comment with your character and preferences. Be sure to mention any hard lines you have.
-Comment around to others. PLEASE NOTE THAT IN ORDER TO FACILITATE CROSS-CANON TAGGING, THIS MEME WILL BE CONSIDERED AN AU FAIR GAME ZONE. Feel free to comment in with characters who do not canonically have siblings or comment to people from other fandoms.
-Be respectful of others.
PROMPTS
1. Feeling Strange: You've known this person your entire life, yet lately you've been feeling...different about them. These feelings aren't exactly familial, either.
2. Not as Normal Families: Whatever the specifics of the case may be, your childhood was not the norm, and thus the two of you have grown close that way.
3. Raised Apart: Scientists believe that when siblings are raised together under normal circumstances, they will not find each other sexually attractive; however, if they are reared apart, they may be highly attracted to each other when they meet as adults.
4. Only Kin by Name: Psuedo-incest between step siblings or adopted siblings is not quite as taboo, but you could still be looked down upon for harboring those desires for someone who is a member of your family by one way or another.
5. Defender: One of you is older and has always looked after the other, meaning that something has grown between you that is thicker than any blood.
6. Guilty: You feel terrible for these longings toward your own flesh and blood, and you do your best to stop them. But can you choose who you want to be with? And how disciplined are you when it's someone you care for in other ways?
7. Dysfunctional: You don't have a good relationship as siblings, yet your relationship as lovers is great.
8. There's Nothing Wrong Here: To you, incest is a casual affair and the "forbidden" aspect is lost. Sorry you were grounded, big brother. Here, since you can't go out, let me be your girlfriend for the night.
9. Like Looking in a Mirror: The two of you are closer than siblings: you're twins. You share everything, so why is your love any different?
10. Skirting the Line: Stolen glances. Lips only a breath away. You're walking a fine line here. You haven't become physical...yet.
11. Got a Secret, Better Keep It: Needless to say, an incestuous relationship is not one that can see the light of day. You'd better keep it behind closed doors.
12. Jealousy: You can't stand the idea of sharing your beloved sibling with someone else, yet it's hard to make this known without blowing your cover.
13. As One: The obligatory smut prompt, whether it be the first time or one of many the two of you steal away.
14. The Things I Do for Love: You'll do anything to protect your love affair with you sibling and make sure no one interferes. Anything.
15. And You'll Be My Queen: It may seem as though the light will never come, but you want to make promises to your most precious sibling that one day, you'll live as any normal couple.
16. Anyone Who Isn't Us is the Enemy: You're in a dangerous climate, and the only one you can depend on is your flesh and blood - bringing you closer together.
17. No Choice in the Matter: Your sibling is not a willing participant in your debauchery, but they endure your cruelty, grooming, and manipulation because you are their brother or sister.
18. No One Like You: There truly is no one who can love you like the person who is closest to being you, bone of your bone. You perfectly understand each other and your love is pure.
19. Where No One Knows Our Faces: You've decided to flee your current life and live as new people among those who don't know that you're related.
20. Out in the Light: A secret no more, the two of you have decided to bring your affair out into the open. You will face the world, no matter what it does.
21. Rejection: Someone - friends, family, etc - has found out what you two have done and are disgusted by it. Will you turn to each other for comfort?
22. The End: Being with someone so unattainable is tiring, and one day, you may grow weary of stowing everything away, locking your heart up, or feeling so shamed. This must cease. But can you go back to being just siblings?
23. Not Really Related After All: Perhaps the most cliche of tropes, though it's often used to "justify" incest. Turns out the two of you aren't really siblings! Now, you can pursue a relationship freely.
24. Part of the Same Whole: You're meant to be together, you firmly believe it.
25. Sick and Twisted: The fact that you two are siblings actually is a kink/fetish for you. You get off to all of this.
26. FREESTYLE

  destined lovers
 

Your entire life, a mystery remains to be solved: who owns the name you wear on some part of your flesh? Their identity and location might not be clear, but you do know that somehow, some way, the two of you are destined to meet.

What counts is that you come together.

About the other names? Well...

  THE TIME TRAVEL MEME

Somehow, someway, you've mastered time travel! Well done, genius. Maybe it was accidental, maybe you knew exactly what you were doing all along, perhaps you've even been at it a while!
How to play
① Tag in with your name, canon and date. The latter should be from your character's perspective! For example, Jane Doe | That Oldie Zombie Series | 1945. Leave info, preferences and/or suggestions in a note if you want.
② Pick someone else's toplevel. Go to RNG and roll 1-10. That's your scenario in their time! Or just choose one, we know how this works.
③ Tag around!
④ Have fun. :)


Scenarios
① Trapped. Something doesn't seem to be quite right with the machine anymore ...
② Long Lost Lovers. You're back in their arms and nothing can separate you, not even time and space itself.
③ War. You've arrived in the middle of a fight/battlefield. Unless you intended for it to happen, this isn't looking so good.
④ Sickness. Did that person mention the Black Death?! Better find your friend and get out of the Dark Ages before you start coughing.
⑤ Party. Lucky you! There's a hootenanny going down in the past/future and it looks like you're just in time to grab a drink.
⑥ Missing. They stole your first time machine, but now you've built another and the chase is on!
⑦ Date Night. Nothing says 'oh, Mr. Darcy, oh!' like a romantic blast into the past or a frolic into the future. Whichever historical event is going on around you now, however amazing, it's all foreplay in the grand scheme of things.
⑧ Lost. It's years ahead of the times for one of you, but things seem normal enough to the other person.
⑨ You Dun Fucked Up, Kid. Which year is it? Which world is this, for that matter? Shit. Looks like you didn't just build a time machine, you're in a whole other universe ... !
⑩ Roller's Choice. Pick your own.

SEXY MIND LINK
If you're familiar with that old sci-fi cannard where, suddenly, two people are mentally linked, this meme is all about that...except smutty. Two characters get mind-melded and share explicit thoughts/fantasies they have about each other, somebody's jerking it when the link fires up, or worse.

ONE: drop them prefs and characters.
TWO: people reply and smack your character upside the noggin with whatever TMI is getting shared.
THREE: can you break the chain?

THE LONG DISTANCE MEME


Whether it's a temporary parting or your entire relationship has played out through letters and late-night text messages, being separated from your sweetie is never fun. Friends and family might shake their heads and encourage you to look closer to home, but you know this person is worth the wait.

Fortunately, there are certain ways you can ease the pain of loneliness. Messages, letters, phone calls, video chats, sweet but fleeting reunions... made all the more intense by the distance between you. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, after all...

PROMPTS!


1. LDR
Maybe you met online, or maybe you've been separated by circumstances. Regardless, the miles between you don't change how you feel about them - and you're prepared to show them that!

2. Workaholic SO
They work so hard (or so far away), they're almost never with you. Why not remind them of what they're missing out on at home?

3. Camgirl/boy
They say your relationship isn't real, but what do they know? You're infatuated, and you'll do anything to prove it.

4. Historical
You may not have all the conveniences of modern technology, but oh, you make do. Racy letters, secret trysts, and always finding one another the very moment your paths may cross again keeps the flame alive.

5. Parting Ways
You haven't separated yet, but you will soon. Whether it's for the first time or the hundredth, you'll make this moment count.

6. Wildcard
Anything goes!

  8. still so in love: no matter how long you've been together, the spark's still there.
  9. hatesex: there's no spark here, as it's more like a raging inferno of resentment towards your ball and chain.

  11. make-up sex: the best thing about marital spats? making up again!

a SPA DAY meme

Haven't we put our characters through enough? Don't they deserve a break? Well, at Bakerstreet's Spa and Relaxation Center, they'll get the day off they deserve!

This place has everything: a sauna, massage tables, those pretty little crystals, a room filled with bubbles, incense and aromatherapy... And, in true Bakerstreet fashion, there are plenty of rooms where relaxation is mandatory — you know, hot rooms where the steam is actually some sort of body-relaxing aphrodisiac, as per usual.

Your character can't leave until they relax. We don't make the rules. So, they might as well undress to their level of comfort and stick some cucumbers over their eyes.

  • Comment with your character and your preferences. Start off with some places where your character might be found, or tell us the kind of thread you're looking for.
  • Relax with others.


  1. massage table Hop on up and let your aches and pains melt away. Courtesy of another Bakerstreet denizen; we're a little short-staffed at the moment.  
  2. saunaIt's so hot! It's like a sauna in here!
  3. facial Like a massage, but of the facial variety.
  4. truth be told You're so relaxed, the truth can't help but come out. Or maybe it's something in the air...
  5. pampered Nails, hair, everything's done for you. Just say the word and someone will bring you whatever you need.
  6. mud room - Get covered in mud! It might sound silly, but obviously there're some healing properties to it. Probably.
  7. seaweed wrap - You might look like a sushi roll by the end of it, unable to move, but there's a reason for it. There's a reason for it, right?
  8. aphro'd - All this relaxation is making you feel something else...
  9. outdoor - This spa is out in nature! Maybe at a natural hot springs, or under a waterfall. It's really lovely...
  10. client's choice - How you relax is up to you!

torture
a horror meme

 

 
Sex is great and all, but have you ever reduced someone to a shell of their former self?

Through various means, this meme is all about getting into people's heads. The end goal of these mindfucks is up to the character, naturally. What is it that they want, anyway? To gaslight someone into doing their bidding? To wield ultimate power over someone else? Maybe they're just looking for love and going about it the wrong way, Misery style? Or, maybe they just want to hurt people.

Generally, these things take time, so expect a slowburn into despair with some of these prompts.

how to play

  • Comment with your character, your preferences, and how you'd like to go your torture. Break some bones, inflict some trauma, go nuts. Additionally, make sure to warn for content.
  • Reply to others.
  • Send therapy bills in the mail.
physical

  1. sensory deprivation - You know, you don't realize how much you rely on sight and sound until they're taken away from you...
  2. sleep deprivation - Sleep is so important! It would be a shame if someone prevented you from doing that with loud noises and spray bottles.
  3. electrostim - Zap zap.
  4. positioning - Keeping someone on their knees, or in a small, uncomfortable space for a long period of time is its own form of torture.
  5. non-con - A different kind of torture, but horrible nonetheless.
  6. picking / peeling - You remember that scene from Game of Thrones? The one where he pulls another person's skin off?
  7. dismemberment - You don't need ALL of your fingers, and there are tons of medical remedies for a missing foot these days.
  8. surgery - It may be experimental, but I hear some of those organs, you don't even need!
  9. water - Sleeping in water, waterboarding, using water as a punishment...
  10. nature - They've been bad, so it's time to leave them exposed to the elements. They can come inside once they've earned it.
  11. fire - Branding, burning, or even holding a flame near your victim's face without touching them... All fire-related things can get pretty hot.
  12. love taps - Little pokes and pricks might not seem like much, but over time, they can become enough to make you want to pull your hair out.
  13. hair - Shaving someone's head, or changing their physical appearance in a drastic way can go a long ways when it comes to depersonalization.
  14. scarring / tattooing - Not only is it painful; it's permanent.
  15. petifiy - Taking someone from a human to a pet might include leashes and collars, or making them act in an animalistic way.
  16. dehumanize - Real food is for real people. Eat from the trash, creature. 
  17. punishment - Something about chains and whips.
  18. mock execution Aw, come on, bro. It's just a prank. The gun wasn't even loaded!
  19. tender touch - Between rounds of brutality, it doesn't hurt to butter them up with love and kisses. It keeps them on their toes, never sure of what to trust.
  20. writer's choice - Something we left out? Throw it in!


emotional + psychological

  1. kidnap / stockholm Spend enough time around someone and eventually your spirit will be broken, am I right?
  2. gaslight - Sewing seeds of doubt until someone's left questioning their entire reality. What do you mean? That never happened!
  3. memory wipe - Through science or through magic, erase away all the memories you don't want them to have. If they don't remember, did it even happen?
  4. humiliation / shame - Take this one as you will. Public humiliation, private humiliation, humiliation in the bedroom... all of it can do a number on the psyche.
  5. against their will - They don't want to [insert horrible thing here], but you're not leaving them much of a choice.
  6. conditions - Everything could be so nice! All they have to do is follow your rules.
  7. renaming - It goes hand-in-hand with striping someone of their identity. That old name never suited you anyway.
  8. vicious mockery - What are you? An idiot sandwich!
  9. behind closed doors - In public, the two of you seem as happy as ever. It's when you're out of the public eye that the breakdown begins.
  10. identity crisis - Do you know who you are? Do you really know who you are? Look in the mirror. What do you see?
  11. threats - Do that again and see what happens.
  12. control / monitoring - They're watching. Always watching... All that means is that you ought to be on your best behavior at all times!
  13. enemies in everyone - You trust me, right? So when I say everyone is out to get you, what reason do you have not to believe me?
  14. yelling - Not quite as elegant as some of the others on this list, but raising one's voice is sure to leave a lasting impression on someone.
  15. cuckhold - Aw, did you really think you were special? You could be replaced at any point. See?
  16. torture another - We can't let you have all the fun. So we brought in someone close to you to share in the misery!
  17. isolation - Keeping them all to yourself. No one can help.
  18. learned helplessness - The exit is right there, but they're so broken down from repeated brain breaks that they don't even consider going for it.
  19. ransom - There's something humbling about being at the mercy of someone, lest they share all your secrets with the world.
  20. writer's choice - Something we left out? Throw it in!

  THE BIG SEXY PARTY MEME


It's a party! Not just any old party, though. This is a grownup party. A VERY grownup party. A "clothing optional" kind of party. Leave your sense of modesty at the door, you won't need it here.

PROMPTS


  1. Welcome! - You just got here. Did you need a shot of liquid courage to get through the front door? Did you show up partially undressed? Entirely undressed? Do you need a little encouragement to get into the swing of things? Did you even KNOW what kind of party this was?
  2. The Bar - Get a drink. Get a snack. Get your flirt on with other people getting a drink or a snack.
  3. Party games - Truth or Dare! Never have I ever! Beer Pong! Seven minutes in heaven! Just keep in mind that all the rules have been adjusted to encourage the maximum amounts of nudity and general debauchery!
  4. Dance floor - The entire venue is pounding with music, but it's loudest here. Flashing colored lights! Poles for spinning around! Raised platforms for showing off on! Bust a move that's too hot to do in public.
  5. Hookups - Look with all the alcohol and loud music and exposed skin, it's pretty inevitable that some people are gonna sneak off to some private bedroom to get it on. Or to NOT sneak off. There are no rules here. If you wanna bone down in the living room, you can bone down in the living room.
  6. Quiet room - No one expects you to keep the energy up all night. There's a quiet room, with couches and blankets and pillows and all that comfy stuff, if you need a minute to just collapse in a sweaty naked pile and cuddle for a while.
  7. Orgy - All vestigial traces of restraint have been thrown out the window here. No need for introductions or anything like that. Just dive right in to the pile of fucking!
  8. Meet Cute - You're catching your breath while sitting next to the person you were just in a threesome sandwich with. Maybe you should like...find out their name or something?
  9. Water - There's a pool, a jacuzzi, and also a fountain that someone poured a bottle of bubble bath into. Dive right in! Bathing suits optional!
  10. Cleanup - The party's winding down and real life will return soon. That means everyone's underwear has to be sorted, various bodily fluids need to be mopped up, empty beer bottles and other debris needs to be thrown out, and passed out guests need to be woken up so they can get home.
  11. TFLN - It's the next day, your memory is spotty and all you have to figure out what happened last night is second-hand accounts and your chat history.
  12. WILDCARD! - This den of sin and debauchery has more things going on than I can list here. Make up your own way to be perverted.

Aruba, Jamaica - ooh I wanna take you
To Bermuda, Bahama - come on, pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego - baby, why don't we go
Down to Kokomo?
We'll get there fast
And then we'll take it slow.
That's where we wanna go
Way down to Kokomo.

WHAT TO DO:

1. Post with your character--name, fandom and any particular preferences go in the subject line as usual.

2. You can either roll or pick a scenario (or scenarios!) from the list or leave your comment blank.

3. Reply to people!

4. Have fun and be mindful of your partner's preferences--while this is not inherently a smut meme, it could definitely turn that way.


OPTIONS:

1. Stranded!: No matter how great this island is, it's not where you intended to be. What are you going to do now that you're stuck here?

2. Fun on the Beach: Sand castles, skin scrubs in the shallows, wading out into the surf. There's a lot of fun to be had in the sand and the sun. Add volleyballs and bikinis and you have a competition.

3. Fish and Fruits: It's time to eat, and there's a lot of interesting things to be foraged, fished and hunted on the island. Are you going to make coconut shrimp over an open fire? Will you go fishing for a sting ray in the reef?

4. Warm Island Nights: There's a million stars overhead that you'd never see at home. The sand is still warm, and you might even have a blanket to snuggle up in together. Or perhaps it's the perfect time to go skinny-dipping by moonlight.

5. Luxury Resort: Instead of a bog-standard wild tropical island, you're at a full luxury resort and have the chance to go swimming in a pool, get a massage, or even enjoy the buffet. Is this the life, or what?

6. Wacky Weather: Tidal wave? Hurricane? Sudden freak snowstorm? Something's threatening your island paradise and making it a miserable place to be.

7. Island Invasion: One of you has been on this island for a while -- weeks, months, even years alone with no one to rely on but yourself. And now there's a newcomer to your home. Is this a good thing? What happens when you two meet?

8. Strange Things Afoot: Did you step into Lost instead of Survivor? Strange sounds coming from the jungle, animals that just shouldn't be in this part of the world, perhaps even weirder things. How do you two cope with dragons in the palm trees?

9. Wildcard!: know I forgot something, probably several somethings, so here's your wildcard for whatever else you can fit into this meme.

all of your favorite gen & shippy cliches!

WHAT TO DO
— Comment with your character and any preferences in the subject line.
— Reply to others using one or more of the prompts below as inspiration.
— LBR, we all know how this works by now.


1. ACCIDENTAL MARRIAGE.
Whether it's the classic 'waking up in Vegas' story or a magic ritual gone wrong, the characters are now bound for eternity. Better find a way to undo it -- it's not like they're going to fall in love or anything.

2. AND THEY WERE ROOMMATES.
For one reason or another, the characters are roommates, or housemates, or tentmates. Will they get along or argue over whose turn it is to do the dishes?

3. ARRANGED MARRIAGE / MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE.
Unlike the accidental marriage, this one was fully intentional. Whether it was arranged against their will for someone else's gain or a purposeful decision on their part, the characters are now in a totally platonic marriage. Unless...???

4. BODYSWAP.
The Freaky Friday. Due to forces unknown, the characters have swapped bodies. Can they work together to undo whatever magic got them here?

5. BOUND TOGETHER.
Characters are either physically bound together, such as by handcuffs, or magically bound together by some sort of soulbond. Either way, they won't be going anywhere without each other any time soon.

6. FAKE DATING / MARRIAGE.
The ultimate in fanfic tropes, the pretend relationship. You all know how this works -- just make sure to cut it off before anyone catches real feelings.

7. FANCY BALL.
Maybe characters are undercover for a heist or some other clandestine operation. Maybe they got dragged here by a friend. Maybe they're just attending for fun! No matter what, everyone is dressed to the nines.

8. HUDDLING FOR WARMTH / SNOWED IN.
Baby, it's cold outside! Better cuddle to stay warm.

9. INJURED.
One or both characters has been injured (seriously or not) and needs some TLC. Hope you have a first aid kit handy!

10. ONLY ONE BED.
Oh, no -- looks like we've only got one room left, and it's only got one bed. You guys are cool with sharing, right?

11. SOULMATES.
A trope that most commonly revolves around characters with soulmate marks that determine who their One True Love will be. Other options include psychic links, reincarnation, and more!

12. STRANDED.
Characters are stranded somewhere together -- in the wilderness, in the desert, on a remote planet. They'll have to depend on each other to get out of this, and maybe bond a little along the way.

13. STUCK IN AN ELEVATOR.
The elevator's stuck, and no one's coming. Looks like you've got a lot of time to kill. Maybe you could strike up a conversation?

14. UNDERCOVER.
The characters are on a secret mission and no one can know their identities. Hey, that fake mustache is falling off!

THE DANCING MEME

young and sweet, only seventeen

There's so many reasons why people dance. For fun, for tradition, for community, for courting, for taunting your enemies. Maybe you're just friends, maybe you're having a father-daughter (or parent-child) dance, maybe you're dating or almost dating. Gen or shippy, either is fine, as long as you're dancing!

Post your preferences and maybe a starter, then tag around!

PROMPTS

ONE. Spontaneous Dancing
You're doing something else, maybe out somewhere, maybe seemingly alone in your apartment when you just feel the urge. The song you're listening to is really catchy or you just got good news. Does the other person get invited? Join in on their own accord? Just watch? Is it a flash mob? Whatever the reason, you’re dancing now!

TWO. A Celebration
It's a wedding! Or maybe a festival, holiday, school dance, or birthday party. Point is, it's an occasion. There's music and a dance floor and no reason why not to let loose! Be is fast paced to the dj, slow dance with a partner, or traditional dance, it's all part of the celebration.

THREE. A Gala
It's not just any kind of event, it's fancy. There's probably someone pretty rich throwing it, and you better be dressed up nice. Chances are you're just as likely to be here dancing for business just as much pleasure. Maybe you're even here to steal something, or make political connections, or fundraise for charity. But dancing is part of the deal so take your partner's hand and lead them out on the dancefloor!

FOUR. Masquerade
Much like the gala, it's fancy. Or it could be a Halloween party. Either way, everyone is wearing some kind of costume and mask. Who is this mysterious person you're dancing with? A stranger? Friend? Enemy? Frememy? A mystery. Or perhaps not a mystery, but you can pretend!

FIVE. Clubbing
It's a bar or club or hey, maybe a sock hop, and you're here to have fun. Drinks optional, music loud, dance floor crowded. Be it with friends or a date, you're going to dance tonight. Feel the beat of the tambourine.

SIX. Performance
Ballet recital, music video, talent show, traditional ceremony -- you’re not just dancing, you’re dancing for an audience. Everyone’s eyes are on you and your partner, so let’s hope you don’t get stage fright!

SEVEN. Wildcard.
