Nexus Crossings OOC

Move outta da way Spring, June is here and that means as this month wanes it is going to be summer already. Where the hecky heck has 2021 gone? Time has ceased to have meaning in these strange times. A warm (ha!) welcome to our new players and a fond welcome back to our returning players is in order. We've got something nice for you all here.

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.

June's Writing Prompts

1. "Should I offer congratulations or condolences?"

2. Flying your colors high

3. Every journey has its own unique hazards.

4. What's the worst excuse your character has invented in the heat of the moment?

5. "You're here to steal what?"

Holy crap, when did it get to be April?

I uh. Hm. Well, this is awkward. Hang on, I didn't forget today was Writing Prompt day I swear. I've definitely got a few of these things around here somewhere. Just give me a second, yeah? We'll get this up don't you worry a bit. Just don't look at me, I can't make prompts when you're looking at me.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA--pril's Writing Prompts

1. "You can't change the future. That's against the law."

2. "You know, I know we're on fire and all probably about to die and in excruciating pain but man am I horny right now watching you like this."

3. She was a strong, smart, ass-kicking Independent Woman, except when she forgot to be or it was inconvenient.

4. "The planet was uninhabited entirely. Don't mind all the natives and the secret evil base and the bar just over there and the..."

5. "Aha, but you see you were unaware of my never-before-mentioned 16th secret power!" I said as I pulled an ornate 7th century scimitar I've never used onscreen before that I'm nevertheless a master at while I made ready to save the world single handedly. Never bring a knife to a gunfight they said, well. I don't play by the rules, ha!

Welcome one and all, new players and old, to the rebirth of Plot Round-up!

We have completely revamped this from its original creation so even if you've been here a while Please Read The Post before replying. This will be the format of the Plot Round-up going forward. Please note any changes are not retroactive so do not fret if old submissions are no longer above board as it were. This is the ruleset we will be using from now on.

It’s been a while since we organized one of these, but it’s back to bring you a chance to kick back with more delicious spyreading! A lot has been happening for the characters of the Nexus both in and outside the main comm! Once again we’re inviting you to show your fellow players what your characters have been getting up to! Simply follow the format below and tag with a plot summary and links to the relevant prose and threads – then enjoy checking out the latest storylines! Just make sure to check out our handy FAQ below.

Since we haven't had one of these in a while for This Post anything that is important throughout 2020 will be considered appropriate for submission. Going forward we will be doing monthly plot roundups and at that time only new or ongoing threads will be considered appropriate to submit.

----------


Submit One Comment per character with a collection of links (in chronological order) to important threads they have been a part of as well as a summary of the plot involved. In the subject of the comment include your character's name.

Why do we do this? For spy-reading, of course! It helps everyone in the comm stay abreast of each other's plots, especially as the size of our comm grows. It's also a good way to make sure your hard work is admired by others.

What is relevant: Any prose, private storyline/plot pieces, monthly prompts, community threads, or solo pieces which took place on personal journals or which were reposted onto personal journals from chat apps, etc. The pieces must be considered canon for characters as they are played in the Nexus (ie: No links to memes which were just for fun, etc.) If important Nexus-Canon development has occurred in a meme post that thread MUST be linked here to be considered canon in game going forward, but submissions from other DW games are not allowed under any circumstance. All submitted links should be considered significant to your character's growth or a plot in some way.

For community posts you must link to the important threads you wish to submit. We want to encourage people to spy-read the best parts of your characters' lore and to do that we need to be able to point to where these happened. No one is going to read through a 500+ comment party post for one thread your character was in. Please keep this in mind! The only exception to this is if your character made a top-level Nexus post that has multiple important threads. Please feel free in that case to only link the post once, but the summary Must include which threads are must-reads and why!

How should I list my threads? Please utilize a title for each link to label each submission using the < a href... formatting. This will help cut down on the confusion of having just a list of raw links with no indication as to what each of them is for.

Finally:
Each thread should be submitted only once per player so if you have multiple muses involved in a single thread make mention to who else they impact on the first submission of a thread and then perhaps refer to that in the next character's summary!

December is upon us! This year more than most poses significant hardships for all of us as the Holiday Season closes in but we've done our best to put together a gathering of prompts you can distract yourselves with pondering for your muses. Thank you all for making this game what it is. 2020 sucks, but at least we have a place to play still. As always--

5. "Where does this trail lead?"
