Voting for March's Theme
I know this wasn't scheduled to go up until the day we open, but since Leah was kind enough to give us a ton of good suggestions, we have enough to get voting! Please only vote once, and the winner will be our theme for March. Losing themes will appear again next month in the voting unless we get a ton and I have to cull the least popular out.
Theme participation is optional, so if you hate the one that wins, feel free to ignore the entirety of it for the duration of the month. I'll write up the info post on March's theme, which will contain a bunch of pictures and description about potential settings, and ideas for plotting. Actual plotting will happen in the same post. In the future, I'd be perfectly happy to take volunteers to write up the info posts if someone is particularly enthusiastic or knowledgeable about a theme.
ANYWAY, let's get to voting! Here's the descriptions for each theme:
Wild West: What it sounds like! Stuck in the wild west.
Underwater: Potentially in the city of Atlantis, you're all underwater. Mer-people abound.
Pegasus: A beautiful city in the interior of Earth, covered with flowers and a great forest. In the forest is a pond, and the pure may encounter a pegasus and even be able to ride it for a wonderful chance to fly.
Dark / Nightmare: A definite nightmare. Darkness, death, decay is everywhere: dead friends, rotting corpses, violent strangers, a broken-down city.
Don't Wake Me Up: A perfect dream. Everything conspires to bring contentment and happiness: seemingly better relationships, jobs, living accommodations, whatever. The catch is, staying too long will be deadly in one form or another.
Still Dreaming: Basically the classic, "you wake up into another dream" scenario. Terrifying situations where the characters keep waking up every so often, still stuck within an equally terrifying situation. Rife with potential for characters not realizing that they're still dreaming.
Into the Dream: Characters play out events from their daily lives with other characters.
Underwear: It has to happen sometime! You're all suddenly in your underwear.
Road Trip: Everyone is divided into cars and is going on a road trip.
Be a Rock Star: Like above, everyone is divided into groups, only this time they're in a band.
Let's Do a Play: Everyone is part of a theatre troupe putting on a play.
Video Games: You're in some kind of video game. Team up, collect items, beat monsters.
[Poll #1713701]
VOTING WILL CLOSE MARCH 7. Ordinarily voting will last a week, but because it took time to get suggestions this month, it's going to be a short voting process. ;3; Sorry about that, guys!
Feel free to spam and try to garner up support for your theme of choice in the comments. B)
Finally, would anyone be interested in us putting up a post explaining our app process? I realized that there's more going on behind the scenes when we review apps than is probably apparent, so if you guys are curious, I'd be more than willing to do a post that explains how we decide and what we look for. Transparency is good for everyone, after all.

I dunno if it's necessary, since denied apps probably get explanations, but again, it still can't hurt.

Speaking of which, should I talk to mods quick for more detail, if a suggestion of mine is chosen, since mods are doing the write-up?

Next month we can always list them as separate ideas if you'd rather (since I doubt it'll win this round - watch me be wrong).

Fun fact: Ami is pretty easy to torture emotionally. XD

LMFAO Mal uses allllll kinds of torture. My favorite torture I played of hers was the time she convinced Ariadne she was the projection and caused her to have a tiny breakdown.

Darkury usually just gets really atrocious headaches whenever true memories start bobbing to the surface. Stupid memories. But yeah, in canon even before all the ~darkness~ she stressed so bad over things that she made herself hallucinate and pass out, so uh. Yeah.

Into the dream. If only because I know certain people's daily lives are full of fail.
