A hilariously timed 3MD

bluth-illusions.livejournal.comWell, if you've been paying attention to how I do 3 Minute Dates, you probably realized this was coming up. But due to scheduling constraints both in Fandom and with a remarkably busy February for me, the only way to get 3MD into the month was to move it from its traditional Saturday spot onto a Sunday. So, Sunday, February 12th, 3 Minute Dates returns to Caritas!
Oh wait, that's during sex pollen week? WELL HOW'S THAT FOR A FUN COINCIDENCE? I love how the scheduling broke this time, I really do.
ANYWAY. For those of you who don't know or need a reminder, you sign up here, I pair you up with other signer uppers for five rounds of sweet, pollinated pinging action, and maybe your characters fall in love and get married and have babies. Or at least maybe you find a person or five to relieve some stress with. Just wait until you leave the bar, for the love of god.
The ground rules, as always:
*Three minutes will equal ten total pings, five each. Take another ping or two to wrap up if you need to, but please be efficient!
*3MD is open to both adults and teenagers. Teachers and students will NOT be paired together. Students and townies MAY be paired together if I can't avoid it and/or if they're close enough in age.
*A strong effort to pair people by sexual preference will be made. However, depending on how the lineups fall, gay/bi characters may end up with uninterested straight characters, and two straight characters of the same gender may get paired up. It happens sometimes. Sometimes there's a whole round just for that. It depends on the matchups. And, well, let's be honest. If you can't swing at least a little both ways during pollen week, you're defying the odds.
*You can sign up with as many on-island characters as you want, but please keep in mind that each one commits to 5 threads with people in all sorts of time zones. Try not to sign up more than you can handle so everyone can have a chance to complete all of their dates.
*The post will go up Saturday evening (February 11th) and will be available for slowplay for a couple days if you really need it. But the bulk of the playing should happen on Sunday. If you sign up and later find out that you won't be around at all on February 12, PLEASE let me know to take your characters off the list, especially if you've signed up with multiple characters. And if you know you won't be around at all that day, please don't sign up. It never feels good when somebody has a thread or two without any interaction.
*3MD will occur after sundown so that vampire characters can participate if they so choose.
If you're interested, please leave a comment to this post with your character's name, type (student, teacher, townie) and gender preference (if any). Comments are screened by default, questions will be unscreened and answered. Also, if you're signing up a townie under the age of 21, let me know if you'd rather be matched with teenagers or adults (or no preference). Signups will be open through Wednesday, February 8 at 11:59 PM Central to give me time to smash random numbers together.
