sooooo speaking of february player plots—

[selfloveable]

Hi and hello everyone! It's Bella again, but this time I have a fun little (unofficial) mini-event. It's February, and you know what that means: love is in the air! So there's no better time to offer a helping hand to those who need it most... With a



ROMANCE WORKSHOP!



There'll be plenty of activities and opportunities for CR, so just sit back, relax, and have fun. First on the list...

Speed-Dating! It wouldn't be a real romance workshop without it.

• Using an expertly curated list of questions, characters will have to "date" as many people as possible for a chance to win a very special prize...
  
• Not every question will be romance-related, since at its heart speed-dating is definitely more about getting to know people (and first impressions), so if you're leery about it being too love-related, well, there's your guarantee that it won't be!
  
• The special prize is... a secret! There'll be a thread to report how many characters you thread with, though anyone who speed-dates fifteen or more people will get a prize.
  
• No sign-ups required for this one! You'll just post under the SPEED-DATING header on the log itself and have a good time mingling, just like a regular little party.

26 Ways To Spend The Day! A take on the classic "52 date nights in a year" jar, but with some modifications to make it work for Austice.

• There'll be a sign-up thread on this post where you can either sign-up with a partner or get a randomized one! Just fill in the form appropriately and go. If you have a partner pre-planned, make sure they reply to your comment to confirm!
  
• If there's anyone you'd rather not be partnered with, whether or not they sign up, just DM this journal and let me know—no need to tell me why, just tell me who.

Rom-AMA-nce! Got a character who'd love to talk about love, romance, or relationships in general? Put them up for an AMA-style question-and-answer story corner!

• This one's a free-for-all too. Just have fun!

Poetry Competition! Can your character flap the unflappable judges...?

• This one will have a sign-up portion as well, but just for judges! If you'd like your character to be considered, fill in the form and go!
  
• Kaname Tojo (perfectlie) will be one of the judges thanks to something he owes Arashi (heh), but two other judges will be randomly picked from the sign-ups!
  
• The goal of the competition will be to either make the cheesiest poem or the most romantic poem and make the judges crack.
  
• This one also has a special prize... A crown to proclaim them the Liege of Romance, as well as an extra secret prize!

Sound good to you? Me too. The workshop will happen on February 14th ICly, but I'll be posting it on the 11th for some breathing room. The deadline for all sign-ups will be the 10th, so make sure you get in quick! And don't worry: there'll be stuff to work with for those who'd like to make their own top-levels too, so don't feel like you'll be beholden to just the activities listed here!

If there's any questions, comments, or concerns, or if you just want to offer your character's help in helping out, throw them in the first thread down below! Thanks so much for reading and have a wonderful rest of your day (or night)! ♪

Comments

QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS

[selfloveable]

If you need clarification or want to offer your character to help out with something, whether it's prep, places for activities, so on and so forth, here's the place for it!

[hanikamu]

Can poetry competition sign-ups be completely anonymous or will Rinne have to sign off with AMAGIBIGDICK69?

[selfloveable]

HE CAN JUST SIGN OFF WITH HIS NAME, YANA??? HIS REAL LIFE ACTUAL NAME THAT GOD GAVE HIM???

For judges I'll say no, even if I'm personally randomizing it Arashi will have to pick them herself ICly... There's not a participant sign-up spot because I'm lazy and didn't want to make one, but those can be anonymous. And just for fun, as long as there's player permission, you can submit another character to be a judge if that character themselves wouldn't be interested doing it.

[hanikamu]

I MEANT PARTICIPANT ENTRIES YEAH though it would be really funny if Arash and Kaname's judge names were different, huh...

Thank you!
