Life Support this week is up here and is open until the next one a week on tuesday.
Apologies for not getting it up on Tuesday, I had family stuff going on and forgot about it.
For anyone who is unsure what Life Support is, I have copied the FAQ into this post.
(Mostly copied from the ones Ven wrote originally, because she is more articulate than I am.)
1. What is Life Support?
Life Support is a support group for people dealing with life (or afterlife). Any kind of life, from any time, any world, rich or poor, Bound or not, dead or alive. Every meeting is set up as a circle of chairs in the Bar, with (GUARANTEED 100% SAFE) free food and beverages (and sometimes other things!) offered on a nearby table, and a sign explaining that everyone is welcome and the food and drink are free and safe.
2. Where did this idea come from?
Life Support is RENT-canon, and was once run by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
whychoosefear, both canonically and in the bar. Miniver Cheevy and Guppy Sandhu resurrected the idea; later Ben Winchester helped.
3. Who is welcome to these meetings?
Everyone. No, really. Everyone.
4. Does my character have to have major issues/angst to come?
NO. When we say anyone can come, we mean anyone. No one is expected to talk about whatever IC "issues" you might have -- it's just an option you're welcome to take, and no one will ever pressure you for being "angsty" at one of these meetings. We welcome people to threadhop, play therapist for pups who DO have issues, take this as an opportunity for a free meal and a chance to meet new people. A lot of really incredible, complex, deep, FUN IC and OOC relationships have resulted from characters just showing up to mooch off the free stuff. The one thing we ask, IC and OOC, is that nothing discussed in Life Support is discussed OUTSIDE Life Support without permission of the muns involved. We're not going to actually keep track of this -- it's just we think it'd be nice if pups had a place where they can go and angst about anything and know it isn't going to be spread around.
5. Who runs this thing?
IC, group leader is Dr Guppy Sandhu, and the current helpers are Dr Remy Hadley (Thirteen) and Connor (Freakangels).
