Skrull Plot - Take Two

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

For anyone who didn't see the post yesterday, a few questions were raised over the size of it and how it can be ignored.

Now, the dates themselves can't be changed as it's not just me depending on this to have a character leave. But I would like to open this up for suggestions on how to make this easier for everyone to work with.

ETA: I apologize for the miscommunication and the poor planning on my part with the unavoidability of this plot.

I have rehashed the plans to make it easier to avoid should anyone not want to deal with it by removing the presence of the Skrulls in town and allowing those directly affected to spread it by word of mouth to anyone who wanted to be part of it. Anyone who didn't could easily not hear what was going on. The finale would take place in the preserve to keep it from drawing too much attention from anyone who doesn't wish to be part of it. I hope these changes make things easier for everyone involved.

First off, there should most definitely be some way to avoid it. As of now, it seems that there simply isn't. Whether there's a way to scale it down or not, I don't know, but there should really be some sort of way to opt out to not be involved in someone's personal plot if they don't want to be in order to be fair to everyone on island.

ETA: Honestly, I think if this one issue gets resolved somehow, there shouldn't really be too many problems with the rest. People tend to be able to work around a lot as long as they have some room to move and do their own thing.

I missed the post yesterday thanks to work insanity, but I agree with Natalie. I've got a grad planning to leave the island and I'm not crazy about the idea of anyone's personal plot being island wide and impossible to ignore.

ETA: Also, I'm curious about how this was approved given that there is a specific question on the plot submission form *asking* how other people can avoid your plot since there seems to be no way *for* other people to avoid your plot. The wording of that question on the plot submission form leads one to believe that there *needs* to be a way for folks to avoid a personal plot if they wish.

Just spitballing here as I have a birthday party to get to, oh, nowish, but what if we take out the island-wide fighting and restrict the distraction to a small mission in the preserve? If the skrulls are all limited to one place, it shouldn't be too hard to ignore.

I don't know the source canon so I have no idea how feasable this is.

This still doesn't strike me as a plot that should be a huge issue for anyone on the island. Skrulls are shapeshifters. It's a secret invasion. Maybe I missed something in there somewhere, but it looks to me like a plot that you wouldn't even necessarily notice, unless your character was out and actively looking for green people lurking in alleyways.

Tell me if I'm wrong?
