IT'S

SOAP OPERA WEEKEND!!

TIME!!!!!

That's right, boys and girls, next Friday, February 7, there's going to be an alumni event so that everyone can be on island as they wish. Then from February 8-9 it's full-on crack. YAY.

For those of you who weren't around for previous years, Soap Opera weekend is exactly what it sounds like. Much like AU weekend and such, for a weekend, the denizens of Fandom go through some changes... Namely, while your characters are still themselves, they behave like characters on a soap opera and think this is totally normal. For instance, Jaina Solo will still know herself as Jaina Solo, she just may be the conniving heiress to the Skywalker diamond mine fortune who's had two ruined weddings now and one stolen baby.

Monday morning, everyone will wake up themselves, and probably wtf a lot. Alumni will also get to hang around on Monday, as while they're spending the weekend lying to someone about whose baby they're carrying or going around getting amnesia, they're probably not thinking much about catching a portal home.

( now for the copypasted rules! )

That's the basics. I'm also throwing down a comment below for brainstorming, should anyone have something they WANT to see that weekend that they don't automatically claim for themselves, or you want to find someone to be your new husband/wife/suspected babyparent/evil twin/supposedly-dead parent/Kelly to your Brenda.

Pre-Approved Past Quotes for 3MD

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

So, I am never doing something like this again. You people are way too giving with your permission, everyone has way too many characters in their past, and 3MD has being going on way too long. As it is, some characters were missed (I'm sorry) and I'm sure some of the most usable quotes were as well. But this was compiled over several days with varying degrees of being awake and able to focus and - for a few of the most recent 3MDs - having somebody else entirely (thanks, Natalie) grab quotes that I then whittled down to things that felt like what I was going for and it still adds up to a very long list.

SO, as you go through your dates, feel free to use any of the quotes below from 3MDs past with pre-approval from the player. If you find a quote you want to use, a link has been included for context, if you want to indicate tone or find out what the hell it was in reference to.

Thanks to everyone who gave permission and, once more, never again. :D
