Brainstorming!

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Some role players had ideas that did form
But being unable to share them was norm'
The RPers did say
Let us make a day
Where we gather so we can brainstorm!

OOC

When ending posts one can be torn
As one wonders if they should warn
That plottery OCD
Usually has OOC
Since it's a perfect excuse to post porn

The post is done and we kinda won, so we'll sound our victory cheer. Where do we go from here?

You know how some kids spend the summer after high school backpacking through different countries in Europe? Maybe a group of Fandom graduates could spend the summer backpacking through different dimensions.

This would obviously require mod permission and approval from the muns of whichever fandoms the kids visit. But before we go there, would anyone be interested in doing this? Anyone want to offer their home world for visiting and maybe play a couple of guest stars?

This is a tiny bit bigdamndestiny's fault, and I am putting it here to be prodded at.

In Buffy canon, there's a spell Tara does to make demons invisible (long story). Of course it backfires and leads to an invisible demon attack. I'd like to have something like that happen on the island, albeit without demons -- my tentative thought was that maybe she could be trying to show Magic Reserves how to quickly vanish magical supplies, and end up making all the magical *people* invisible until a counter spell could be done.

We could also go for invisible demons, but a)Tara would need a pretty specific initiative to do the spell that way, since it was dumb to start with in canon and b)I like the idea of a bunch of residents suddenly vanishing and needing to work out what happened.

Like I said, tentative plan, very much open for prodding.

That sounds awesome. Pending canonmate approval, I'm more than willing to offer up the Very Special Greece.

I love this idea!

I don't think any of my kids have home worlds that would be interesting to visit but Joan would be up for taking the trip.

ETA: And I could totally play guest stars for some folks.

Okay, so like, we all love OMWF event day, right? In a tentative and somewhat far-off-ish manner, now that I've got this girl here, I've been devoting some thought to the possibility of doing it XWP-style, a la The Bitter Suite (http://whoosh.org/epguide/bitter.html), since it'll be coming up for Gabrielle at some point in the next few months anyhow.

It'd be wacky and packed with tarot card symbolism, with possibly the twist of "staged" scenes based on whatever people are singing about at the time, maybe -- would anyone be up for that twist on a classic Fandom event?

That could be made of AWESOME, says my senior.

Because it's not like the toongirls could (goddammit, Firefox, WTF) EVER POSSIBLY GET INTO ANY KIND OF TROUBLE on a trip like that. RLY.

Re: OOC

Understand we'll go hand in hand.....

Re: Specific ideas

I like this!

Re: the spell, I just had the half-formed idea of a sort of mashup between that and "Same Time, Same Place." Which I have admittedly not watched in a very long time because it grossed me out so I may be misremembering details there.

Not like they need *help* getting into trouble, but I just had the thought that maybe the portal goes a little wonky sometimes. Like we try to visit the Skywalker family and instead end up on the Death Star with five hours until the next possible portal. Or in Camelot, trying to not get burned at the stake until the next portal in 78 hours and 32 minutes.

(I'm picturing a Sliders-style countdown.)

I could see Priestly being down for that. Again, not that his world would be all that interesting for it.

Re: Specific ideas

[life_inshadow]

... that's one I haven't rewatched since it aired, I'm afraid. (It *was* gross.) But I like the basic concept that maybe the invisible people don't know they're invisible.

Emotional states lead to invisibility a couple times in the Buffyverse. (Which doesn't necessarily follow from my idea, I'm just saying.)

All hail the working man, got the world in his hands, all hail the working man, whose work is never done...

I can't see Jack going for the whole summer unless I pry him away from Sebastien permanently by May, but I like the idea.

His home world is totes open for backpackers, too.

Oh, did you just bring Sliders into this? I love you extra now.

Re: Specific ideas

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

I think I attempted to rewatch it once and stopped, because ew. But yeah, I think the idea of not realizing they're invisible would be fun.

Which I have to say wasn't the part I was thinking about, since I was actually leaning towards the emotional states thing, in some half-formed way feeding off of, maybe, Tara being self-conscious about doing a demonstration in front of everyone or something like that? I haven't had enough caffeine to be coherent.
