PLOT SUBMISSION

PLOT SUBMISSIONS
This is where you can submit plot ideas for mod-run plots and submit larger scale player plots (or smaller scale ones) for approval to the mod team. Accepted submissions of either kind are eligible to earn extra points for regains, the amount which will be determined by the mods upon submission of a mod-run plot or completion of the player-run plot in execution. Plots which are open to a wider variety of characters will usually earn more points.

Please fill out the following form in order to submit your plot.

PLAYER: Your name.
CHARACTERS INVOLVED: Your character and any other characters involved in the event.
PLOT: Your idea.
NOTES: Note if you are suggesting this as a player-run or mod-run plot. Player-run plots which are successfully run by players will earn more points, as a note.

PLAYER: kc
CHARACTERS INVOLVED: Yuri Plisetsky ([personal profile] catsudon) and any interested parties. I've been told I have an Anya & a Kiyomitsu, so that's like. Three whole people!!!

PLOT: Springtime Community Production of Romeo & Juliet. Possibly in early April?

ICly running with an idea that the local high school Drama Teacher also helps produce and/or direct a community theatre show at least once a year, and they're looking at getting more students from the high school to participate in the community arts. As a consequence, the drama teacher is offering students extra credit for participation in the production, either on stage or behind the stage, for the duration of the spring production timeline. (The drama teacher may also be responsible for a language or perhaps history? That or they get other teachers to sign off on this in the humanities, since really, who else would.)

An open casting/audition call and call for all those interested in costuming, lighting, sound systems, backstage work, the choreography, and/or set design at the high school, the local community center, and the local college(s). There's no limit on the way people can help out, and not even an age limit, since it's open to the community at large. Each role would be double-cast, with people acting as understudies and also working on bit roles; my end goal for that is more to have an excuse for the primary cast to get pulled out of action for at least one performance and require the understudies to step up and pull off a successful production.

Roles not filled by PCs will be filled by NPCs. This plot would hopefully allow for people to strike up potentially unlikely CR due to being involved with the production; it also gives excuses for people to practice lines with those not involved, or to otherwise engage using the play as an excuse for why it's happening. NPC roles can also be taken up by PCs joining later (in game, life happens, some drop out, and sometimes we just draft new people to participate as a whole, etc).

I'd be planning on some light NPCing of the director, having an open log for auditions, which would likewise be open for anyone to view. Then a later log, for the rehearsals and the building of sets and painting and costume fittings, etc. The final log would be for the performances, including the performances with the understudies having taken over all the roles because of Mysterious Incident involving all the people first cast in those roles. (Honestly this would just be to allow more people an opportunity for characters to be in whatever roles on stage and performing; otherwise the nice part is that practice alone allows people to "take on" the part of whomever they wish!)

OOCly, this would start with an open OOC post for interest and people to submit their characters for what role(s) they'd like to take on. In the case of actors in the play, their top three rolls will also be requested. Beyond that, I would ask that anyone wanting to participate as an actor tags in ICly to show up to the rehearsal; the rest are optional, but encouraged!

NOTES: This is player run! I won't lie, I mostly want to run this so I have a reason for Yuri to be cast as Tybalt and the whole extra credit thing is how I figured I could ICly con him into the time sink of a stage production in anything not dance. TYBALT COULD USE SOME FANCY FOOTWORK RIGHT let's choreograph this fight scene guys let's do it! Beyond that, I could see the entire process being a means for people to find possible avenues to triggering other regains, some how.

Okay, I've been staring at the calendar! How does this sound? OOC sign ups go up on March 14th, with the IC Auditions log going up on March 15th. On the 19th rolls for roles can be finalized, and everyone who signed up can be contacted. The IC Rehearsal log could then go up on March 22nd, and then two weeks later, on April 5th, we'd get the final IC log for the performances? The early April up above was my nod to when the final performances might happen; starting on the 14/15th means there's good time following March's Event log, while filling in middle space before we get the next AU Workshop etc again. Would something like that work?
