    @The Bookwyrm we're currently 2:1 on "no Earth plz" and 5:1 on "aliens plz" methinks we should slap down another question

    everyone starts somewhere

    For those of y'all not in the know (or who just don't know how to navigate the doc - I get it), here are the four major Proposals we have rn: In the 1300s a bunch of aliens came to Earth and gave us spaceships and tech and stuff. Give it a few centuries and whaddya know - we blew ourselves up. Now the survivors have fled on the spacehips that we were gifted, of whom many also died - save the ones that managed to figure out how to work their ships and start taking over planets and stuff. Nowadays every kingdom/house/etc. is heavily based on these battleships, which are as valuable as entire worlds and armie, and are therefore important to steal. In the distant future, it's SPACE TIME. FTL exists, but it's very costly to use (y'know - like in Dune), and we all technically have the power to just rip each others' planets into pieces (all you need is to redirect a large-ish asteroid), but the mutually-understood drive for wealth and power has brought the many worlds into an unspoken truth that no, actually, we won't just needlessly ruin planets and squander those resources. Houses are constantly vying for power and such, but have to tiptoe around the issues that might cause global destruction. The RP takes place in a small section of the galaxy, policed by a big-ol' super mega empire that keeps all our Houses in line. So far that's pretty much all there is to this one. Stark Trek, but it's Star Wars. The local area has a bunch of different alien races that have all sorts of beef with each other, so a lot of the wars and such would be justified by interracial conflict. Also there's a fancy magic giga star that showed up outta nowhere and we all want it.

    kay I'm double-posting but something just occurred to me: What timescale would we be doing this RP in? If we don't figure this out then it'll inevitably turn to either regular person-by-person RP on the scale of minutes or a FGaRS on the scale of decades, neither of which we really want to deal with here. Presumably we'd be doing things in distinct chunks of time (say a few weeks or a month or something), with someone (Bookwyrm) in charge of wrapping things up and moving to the next time frame once we've exhausted our ideas. Plans we put into action would be "announced" by us at the start(ish) of most "sessions," probably, and then the "sessions" themselves would be people putting together plans and such of their own to react to the new status quo. To avoid turning this into a FGaRS or SE knockoff, I think we need a few guidelines that we just Honor System:TM:

    if I was the one in charge of it, I'd have it be that you need multiple notes to perform actions: either to sing a whole few lines, or to harmonize with others into a chord

    I imagine all you have to do to replace the existing boxes would be to rename them

    People talk about "The Hand of the Author" a lot, and how you want to avoid it. Stuff like plot convenience, pointless exposition... you know the type. Something so blatantly put in there for technical reasons that it rips you right out of the story.

    You're supposed to avoid it in writing, which is good advice. Immersion is powerful and breaking it kinda sucks. And one of the sucky things about becoming an author is that you recognize it in things you read a lot more: that's kind of why Sanderson's works have moved from my old "these are the best books" awe and into my new "yeah these are pretty good" acceptance.

    But there's an exception here that I need to point out because I've been completely incapable of reading anything for months now (depression sucks, guys), but finally found my copy of The Two Towers that I'd started a few months ago and just absolutely consumed a chapter like it was nothing.

    J.R.R. Tolkien isn't a god among men because you're completely surrounded by his story at all times, constantly fed plot and character development - J.R.R. Tolkien is a god because you can see his hand. And it isn't creating a product; some story following a template or format. It isn't like you're drawn away from the immersion and into the printers manufacturing every page, but rather it's as though he's writing every word with such loving devotion as you read them, covered in the smell of ink and pipe smoke, dictating the story with such passion that it's almost as if it's being crafted just for you.

      I get you. I've been trying to get back into reading and I've been noticing some of this. I think to get back into that immersion of text, you need to read some really good books, slowly going down bit by bit in quality, but still going back up every now and then so that you can read some of the lesser quality books that you still like as much or want to like as much as other people have. (This is in relation to me trying to get through Eragon... It'll happen... eventually...)

    TikTok is more of content creation than social media. But if we want to include that kind of thing (add Youtube, Twitch, etc.) then add it as well.

    Right. The floor, Did elves really like the floor that much? "Pappie, can I sleep on the floor too?" Basil's show had just finished - on a cliffhanger, which for some reason he didn't seem particularly disturbed about. "No, honey. Go sleep in your bed." "But why does she get to sleep on the floor?" Paprika crossed her arms. "Go to bed, honey." "Aww..."

    If I could draw I would make this into a manga:

    Hunter x Hunter (my fave), Attack on Titan (SASAGEYOOOO), TeamFourStar (they made Dragonball Z Abridged), a lil’ sootsprite (Ghibli!), and also my AtLA pin despite the fact that it doesn’t really qualify as an anime

    My many Legend of Zelda pins:
