SOAP OPERA WEEKEND RETUUUUUUUURNS
WELL HELLO THERE BOYS AND GIRLS. Did you think we weren't having a Soap Opera Weekend this year? Didya? Cuz guess what?
December 5-6 is Soap Opera Weekend. So there.
For those of you who weren't around last year. 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. Jaina Solo will still know herself as Jaina Solo, she just may be the heiress to the Skywalker diamond mine fortune who goes around stealing her double's identity and escaping ruined weddings on horseback after catfights in the pond. (Also for those of you who weren't here last year, THIS TOTALLY HAPPENED. SOW is crack.) Monday morning, everyone will wake up themselves, and probably wtf a lot.
This plot will be open to all characters on island, including alumni. Yes, alumni, there will be an opportunity to be around for this, and there'll be more details on that as the date nears. We didn't forget you!
The Rules!
-DO NOT decide anything for someone else's character without their permission. If Lily was going to be married to three guys, I'd have to get the okay from all those people, and I should drop a line to Sam to let her know what's up. Be as cracky as you want, but keep those lines of communication open.
-While participation is voluntary, it's unavoidable in the same way AU kids and AU weekends are. Which means you should have fun with it. *nods*
-You also have the chance to do things you wouldn't ordinarily be able to do in regular gameplay without a plot proposal. Which means if I wanted Buffy to be randomly pregnant and not know which of two guys is the father, or if I want Jaina killed in a horrible roof accident, I could do it. It just won't be permanent. On Monday, they'll wake up alive and well and completely normal. (I would appreciate if you drop a line to let the admins/me know if you want to kill someone in a mob war or be murdered or something, since that that's something that could get big and affect more than your run of the mill death would. If you have any doubts about whether you can or should do something, ask.)
-This is so totally not a rule, but I highly encourage y'all to mix it up. If you're thinking of being someone's long-lost evil twin, why not have it be to a character you haven't played with before rather than someone you see every day? For those of you wanting to expand your circles, this could be a really good opportunity to do so.
-Don't worry if someone else is using the same schtick. Soap operas aren't exactly original.In fact, if there aren't eight Alexis/Krystle-style catfights that end up in the lake, I'm going to be REALLY REALLY upset. Catfights are so 2008.
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.
