DUN DUN DUHHHHHHHH LAKE PARTY READ THIS PLEASE

[tropes.livejournal.com]

That's right, childrens. It's time, once again, to party like a freakbaby all weekend long at...

The Lake Party.

The latest Milliways Lake Party will be held this Saturday, February 10 and Sunday, February 11.

Now.

Here's how this is going to work.

On each morning-ish, I am going to make two posts. One will be for shore-based activities and interactions. The other will be for water-based activities and interactions. This will be where the entire Lake Party takes place. When your character is on shore, chillin, you are in one thread. If they decide to go swimming, you link to a new thread in the water post. If you leave the water to go to shore to snuggle or something, link back to the shore thread.

That way, when it's all done, it can be followed. An event this huge (bar-wide, we're hoping) requires an organized frame to contain the chaos. And I don't know about you, but I like to re-read these things, and it'll be really nice to have it all in one place and coherent.

Now. If your character chooses not to join the party, or is Out of Milliways during the festivities, the moratorium on new posts does not apply to him. He can post as he needs to.

And.

An example of day one of the most successful previous lake party can be found here, here. NSFW, natch. Sun and water and alcohol = sexy good times.

Honestly, I think it would be a lot of fun if as many people as possible joined in. Meet new people in the post. Plot has resulted from previous lake parties, and so have friendships and romantic entanglements. It's just plain fun, and we need some fun.

I think that's all? I'm sure I've forgotten something.

Comments, queries?

Moratorium on new posts? This is the first I've heard of this... can you elaborate, please?

It's exactly as I said above. If your character is at the Lake Party, his or her activities take place as threads in the lake party posts and not within new entrance posts. This is how it has always happened and it works very well.

If your character does not attend the party, he or she may, as I said, post an entrance post in the bar or in the woods or whatever.

Ahh, I was thinking there had been a request not to make entrance posts at all if you were attending the party, even for threads that don't take place at the festivities.

No, sorry, the "moratorium" was referring to the paragrph above where procedures were outlined.

But questions exactly like this are what the back room is for, so I'm glad you asked. For every one person asking there are usually ten grumbling and confused.

Yay for admitting being slow on the uptake. Thank you for the clarification. :)

Have I mentioned how excited I am about this? I don't know what to expect, but it sure sounds like a ton of fun!

Bouncy and impatient,
