Nexus Crossings OOC

We promised an announcement this weekend so thank you all for waiting patiently!

In the spirit of the holidays Spider-Man websnextdoor has for absolutely no personal reason ever (why would you ask) decided to align himself with the FEAST organization back in his world to fund raise on behalf of the charity with the intention of providing warm clothes, hot meals, and holiday gifts to the homeless and people still suffering the after effects of The Snap back in his universe.

To that end we will be hosting an event in the Nexus that will begin in mid-December to give folks time to tag in/flexibility around very real IRL holidays with a simple premise: this event will be as large or small as the community desires.

At a basic level (what the mod team will be hosting) is something of a small bake/craft sale where Spider-Man will be selling appropriately thematic cookies and holiday treats to raise money for the charity. He will also trade these items for basic necessities FEAST accepts as donations for those who do not deal in currency. There may also be one or two other mod-backed characters with their own stalls participating.

If people are interested and want to join in, this can evolve into an entire winter fair with people hosting their own game stands/stalls for selling any number of things with the end goal of funds raised going toward charity. This is in no way mandatory. All we ask is that people who want to participate in this way be sure they will be able to contribute to event tags and clear your idea with the mod team to make sure it fits with the event theme. If we get many volunteers, the event will warp from a few tables to a zoned off block party sized event where we would make sure to describe more to see and do to accommodate this size.

Given the barter and trade aspect of this event, it is likely that a gift exchange thread could also be worked into this if people wish.

Please feel free to use the comments below to discuss interest/ideas for the event but make sure to DM a mod in DW or Discord if you're looking to officially host a table/game/stand of some kind at the event!

Plot well, friends :)

August was a super heavy super busy month for a lot of us but bow howdy I was not ready to realize it was already gone! September is here. The end of summer, the turn toward the holiday-heavy year end approaches. Let's see summer out with some new prompts to fire the imagination and get folks back into writing shape.

And As always--

Disclaimer: I never close old writing prompts from previous months. People can and should be encouraged to post on old month's prompts and I highly encourage players to track these posts to catch stragglers or new people writing on old prompts.

Now. With that out of the way, onto this month's prompts.

September's Writing Prompts

1. What’s a taste or smell that will always remind your character of their childhood?

2. One last hurrah before the weather turns.

3. “Do you know how far I had to travel to get these?”

4. A sudden upheaval.

5. “So... now what?”

The summer continues to crawl on regardless of our readiness for it. It's another new month and with it we bring the promise of more inspiration for you and yours. A warm welcome to some of the new faces in the community, because we wouldn't be here without all of our players~

August's Writing Prompts

1. "You could stand to be the responsible one, for once."

2. Write about a summer holiday/festival/tradition that's important to your character even if not beloved.

3. Culture shock

4. "I only pretend to know everything."

5. How does your character handle long trips? Do they Have to be the one driving? Are they more content to be in the back sleeping the whole way? Do they want to stop every hour to take pictures?
