Brainstorming!
It's that time again! Brainstorming season is upon us! You know, that post for ideas and stuff, if there's anything you want to see come into being, from random events to Big Damn ones. The list for past ideas is over here, and I'll update it to add anything new anybody might add this time around.
Remember, just because something's been discussed in this post doesn't mean it'll necessarily happen. Somebody's still got to get the ball rolling on that stuff, develop the idea, take it to the admins and make it actually be a thing! But this is a good place for spitballing with the general population of the game to gauge interest or help fill in gaps that might be in your own planning. And if you don't see this post this weekend, don't sweat it, you can still comment on it whenever you like, and I'll update the spreadsheet with new ideas right up until it's time to make a new post, next month.
Have at it, folks!

Re: Specific Ideas!
There'd have to be a LOT of organization before each week starts so that people who weren't here a bajillion years ago or who didn't visit all three realities like I obsessively did would know what to expect of Silent Hill or Rapture, but the payoff of a BDE revisited interspersed with a few weeks of just weird (a whole week of velveteen rabbit or tabula rasa!) could be fun.
Re: Specific Ideas!
And I'm loving the idea of realities where it's just one long Random Event to help fill out the intervening weeks, omg. ONE LONG SOAP OPERA WEEK or maybe one long week of, say, music themed events. A++ brilliant idea, 4 for you, Glen Coco.
Re: Specific Ideas!
How long were you thinking of having this run? There was the BDE where reality was tearing and people were thrust into their own personal AU selves that ran for quite some time, but I know some people were starting to feel AU fatigue and just wanted to get back to their own characters before the end of it, so you'd also probably want to take that into consideration when planning out the gap weeks to avoid burnout.
Re: Specific Ideas!
I was thinking that this would be a full semester (because why WOULDN'T we try to hold classes while outrunning splicers, I ask you), but individual AUs would only last the week the island was in that AU and wouldn't be mandatory. So, like, Jono could become his quasi-hollow AU self for the week of the Dark Souls AU, and then would revert back to regular Jono as soon as we left. He could then go on to be Big Daddy!Jono to Little Sister!Alluka 4 weeks later in Bioshock (also now I'm in love with this idea and want this fanfic) for the week if you were feeling up to it and maybe Kanan was himself all the way until we reached Monsterverse and he wandered too close to a rock or got attacked by a bunny. But while the whole trip would last 14 weeks, each individual AU would last no more than a week and no one would have to AU if they didn't feel like it.
Re: Specific Ideas!
But yeah, that sounds totally reasonable! Opt-in changes but knuckling down to survive the weeks where things are ugly, and then a throw-em-down to get out of whatever big finale reality is refusing to let them go?

OTOH, are you a true Fandomite if you don't go to sleep (especially on a Friday) more than a little concerned about waking up on Saturday?
