Want to find threads and jumpstart interactions but have no idea where to start or if anyone even wants your tags? (They do, I'm anyone.) This is the place to get going. Whether you've been slow for months or not at all, tag in below. Feel free to answer any of the below prompts or none at all, or to do so for one character or all of them, etc.

- What kinds of plots would you like to try for your character(s)?
- What sort of interactions would you like?
- Where do they spend their time? What do they do in their regular routine?
- Who are they close to? Friends of friends are often a good start.
- Cut right to the chase — who do you hope wants to thread with yours? (I bet they want it too)
- What have they been up to recently? What, if anything, do you have planned for their future?
- What, if any, kinds of interactions would you like to avoid?
- Describe them briefly. Sometimes you need to see a description of a character from an unfamiliar canon before you realize they'd mesh with one of yours perfectly (or clash with them perfectly).

And if you have an SOTP, don't forget to drop the link here!

Valentine's Day is about three weeks away, but let's rush ahead with a fun, romantic meme anyway!

Tag in with your characters' names, then other pups will respond with anonymous secret admirer letters. These can be romantic or otherwise. A little bit sexy, a little bit mushy, affectionately friendly, or maybe begrudgingly respectful. They can be as long or as short as you'd like, and while they don't have to be 100% truthful, nor does that love/admiration have to be an actual secret, the letters should remain in-character! If you'd like, post your letters using the citysecrets account (login info here).

Then, have fun guessing who the letters are from!

Ripped straight from tumblr, here is a fun Parks and Recreation inspired meme to get the day started:

If your character is Eagle One, who (in Darrow) is:

Been There Done That
Currently Doing That
It Happened Once In A Dream
If I Had To Pick A Dude(/Chick)
Eagle Two

As of right now, there are 150 characters in Darrow. That's a lot to keep track of, and it's easy to miss things that happen with characters your pups know.

For this meme, tag in below with a summary of what your pup has been up to this year. Others can ask questions about what happened with different plots, if their characters would know certain things, etc., or even propose future plots or follow-ups. Take this opportunity to get caught up on everyone's lives!

An in-game version of what we've been doing over on twitter! Tag in with your pups and other pups will ask them to list their top five whatevers! See here for the last time we did this, if you need guidance.

We all know how the kudos meme works, right? We'll here is a twist to what we've done before.

Tag in each of your characters, then go around and respond In Character OR Out of Character to the others with kudos for their characters. (So, for example, Magnus would give kudos to Luke or Kat could give kudos to Leah.) Tell them why you love having them in the city, what you enjoy most about them, praise a specific moment, whatever love you have to spread.

This meme will stay open for as long as it needs to, so don't feel like you have to rush to comment. There's no such thing as too late to tag, so keep checking back for new additions!

Prompted by a conversation on Twitter, let's take a look at the linguistic choices behind the way our characters speak! NERDS. Here are a few prompts, but feel free to talk about anything you feel like with regards to language and your characters.

Where and when are they from originally?
What is their accent?
Do they curse? Under what circumstances?
What influences the way they speak?
Has their speech changed since arriving in Darrow? In what ways does it differ from canon?
Have they picked up any specific language/slang/vocal tics while in Darrow?
What slang do they use, if any?
Do you have anything specific you keep in mind when writing their dialogue?
What else should we know about how they speak?

Let's talk about talking.

Comment to this post and tell us about your pups' tattoos: what they have, what they would get, what it all means, or even if they'd never, ever do it. Others can then reply, if they choose, with suggestions for other tattoos your character might get.

It's time to do our very own band AU! Take your pups, and tell us what they'd be if they were a musical sensation. Take as many of them as you want, or just one or two of them, that's up to you. Here's a few questions to get you started (and please, feel free to add any of your own ideas) if your inspiration's needing a kick in the rear.

Who's playing what instruments?
Who's the roadie?
What's the hot gossip about them, if any?
What genre do they play?
What kind of weird crap do they get up to on tour?

Have fun! I'll post my own in a bit.

For a lot of us, having the right music while we write our tags is key. For some of us, we're still just looking for the perfect theme song. Or maybe we just like adding new music to our playlists and collections. Whatever the reason, we could always do with a few more songs for our characters.

Tag in with a top-level comment and others can leave links to songs that remind them of your pups and/or their relationships. As a bonus to help facilitate this, tell us about your character — their traits, their history, what kind of sound you associate with them, anything you consider key — so others have a jumping off point, even if they don't know your character well!

Something light (since we could probably all use it) to bide the time until Test Drive, a Parks and Recreation-inspired meme, as previously posted by Melly!

If your character is Eagle One, who (in Darrow) is:

Been There Done That
Currently Doing That
It Happened Once In A Dream
If I Had To Pick A Dude(/Chick)
Eagle Two

Suggested by Ria!

A combination of a Patronus/Daemon meme and a Sorting/Factions meme. A two for one meme, if you will!

Tag in with your pup and others will suggest what kind of animal friends they might have if they were a Pokemon Trainer or a DigiDestined or living in the His Dark Materials or Harry Potter universes. What Pokemon team would your pup have? Or Daemon? Or Patronus? What Hogwarts House would they be sorted into? What faction would they belong to in the Divergent universe? How do others see your pup? Have fun!

If you want to make a trainer card, for aesthetic purposes, you can use the one at Pokestadium

EDIT: If you have strong feelings about your own pups, feel free to post what sort of teams, houses, etc. they'd have too. Whichever way works best for you.

Adapted from here.

How To Play:
- Comment with your character. DON'T LEAVE YOUR COMMENT BLANK. Include what kinks your character might be into. If you have no idea, say as much and describe the kind of sex they do like.

- Be as specific or as vague as you want. You can put a kink and the definition (i.e., paizuri), or go all out with a scenario description ("I want my character to get fucked by his brother, who is an alien octopus"). Include pictures to serve as prompts if you'd like, but please link to anything that could be considered triggering instead of embedding it. Otherwise, all ideas, kinks, AUs, prompts, and scenarios welcome.

- Comment to people with your ideas on what their pups might be interested in or, if you feel like it, give them a drabble fulfilling the prompt/ideas given.

- Be respectful and have fun.

A new meme. Let's see how it goes, shall we?

A twist on the I'd Hit It meme. Tag your pups in and others will tag with ships for the pups and, if you'd like, the adorable babies they would make/adopt. The responses can be as simple as a name or a sentence, or make it an entire ficlet or paragraphs of explanation of why they would make a great ship. Pictures of babies are always welcome.

Many of us are familiar with the Myers-Briggs Personality Test, which assesses your personality type and slots you into one of sixteen categories. Take the test for your characters and comment below with their type and, if you like, excerpts from the description that suits them.

As a bonus, feel free to throw in any other personality/sorting options you like, from Enneagrams to Hogwarts Houses to what Tarot card they'd be.

In honor of this past holiday and the continuing holiday season, I thought it would be nice to have a little pup holiday gift giving.

Tag in your pups and others will respond with the gifts that they would give your pup. Because of the timing of the meme, and because I know several people have been feeling a little hectic, feel free to use this meme as a means to handwave any gift giving you wanted to do and maybe didn't get around to. Or, use it for those crack gifts that your pup would never give someone else in game.

Have fun, and happy holidays!

Top-level your pup and other pups will respond with 3-5 songs that represent the relationship between your and their pup. Link to lyrics, records, music videos, etc of the songs for optimal enjoyment.

"Relationship" doesn't have to be romantic (and OTP shouldn't be taken as ~One~ True Pairing). Make sure your pups tag their friends, family, found family, enemies, frenemies, FWB, babysitter, dog-walker, whatever.

This is a twist on our standard Test Drive!

Tag into this post with characters you're planning to play during Darrow 2 plot. It can be just a tag, a brief EP, whatever you want. This is the place to practice those rusty voices and solidify the backstories and personalities of alternates. While none of this counts in-game, this is also a good place to practice interactions between Darrow 2 residents who might already have preexisting connections.

Remember, players have first dibs on their own current and dropped characters, so please don't tag in with alternates of someone else's pup unless you've gotten full permission from them first.

Also, please include the name of their canon somewhere in or on the comment or on their profile page, and if you'd like, you can also include a blurb about the character somewhere in the tag or on their profile page.

This post will be open as long as it needs to be, so don't feel like you're tagging in too late!

ETA: DON'T FORGET. Official sign-ups for Darrow 2 alternates close on the 9th.

In light of the upcoming holiday (at least over here in 'Murica) how about a Thanksgiving Day meme? But in order to make it a little more fun and interactive, I thought we could add a little bit of a twist.

Step 1: Tag your character(s) into the post.

Step 2: Tag other characters (IC or otherwise) guessing what it is that character might be thankful for this season.

Step 3: Be tagged by others!

Step 4: Agree, debate, or argue!

Step 5: PROFIT.

Per usual, nothing counts as in game so have fun!

All our pups are fully fleshed characters, but it doesn't hurt to think about questions that could provide more in-depth looks at them.

What would completely break your character?
What was the best thing in your character’s life?
What was the worst thing in your character’s life?
What seemingly insignificant memories stuck with your character?
Does your character work so that they can support their hobbies or use their hobbies as a way of filling up the time they aren’t working?
What is your character reluctant to tell people?
How does your character feel about sex?
How many friends does your character have?
How many friends does your character want?
What would your character make a scene in public about?
What would your character give their life for?
What are your character’s major flaws?
What does your character pretend or try to care about?
How does the image your character tries to project differ from the image they actually project?
What is your character afraid of?
What is something most people in your setting do that your character things is dumb?
Where would your character fall on a politeness/rudeness scale?

Answer any FIVE you like (or all of them, if it strikes your fancy)!
