taxonomites is a panfandom RPG, accepting characters from all media, as well as OCs. We are a small community, friendly to back-tagging, and eagerly looking for both supernormal characters as well as good old regular bog-standard humans. Characters from all eras are welcome.

p r e m i s e

A long, long time from now, ~~in a galaxy far far away~~ when Earth itself is but a memory, the only thing that remains of a species called humanity is the archeological footprint they have left behind in the form of fiction. Using the stories that humans once produced, a highly advanced alien intelligence has been attempting to reconstruct a bit of Earth... but when your primary sources are episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The People's Court, and when you have no real way to tell the difference between those and War and Peace... your attempts can get a little... skewed.

As far as characters in Taxon know, they have been abducted from their own worlds and lives and brought to a small and-in-some-ways idyllic ~~prison~~ city. However, life in Taxon is frequently dangerous, and surviving long enough to figure out why they're here and what is going on can be a challenge.

Taxon has an overarching metaplot to pursue, as well as frequent hilarity as things Go Wrong in the city. It's a good game for crack humor, but also for drama (the good kind, hopefully) and serious plotlines.

We're a great game for those oddball characters that don't fit particularly well anywhere else-- the background characters from obscure canons, the OCs you haven't found a community for, the character that you are certain you are the only person in all of fandom to have heard of (but you're not!). AU versions of characters are permitted, as well as duplicate versions of characters. Due to the nature of Taxon as an alien experiment, characters are not allowed to canon-puncture for other characters.

Interested? Come check us out, read the FAQ, poke at the application. Then take a breath and jump on into Taxon.

Premise
For the past few years, the world has become more and more temporally unstable. Rifts in time and space have started opening up all around the world, letting things slip through. Things like monsters, aliens, weird artifacts, strange people from different universes... and you. Dropped onto the busy island of Manhattan, will you side with the agency working to protect the Earth from dangerous supernatural beings, join the rebellion and fight for freedom, or walk your own path? Will you just try to live your life and keep out of trouble, or will you be the one causing the trouble? Either way, you’ll cross paths with more than a few uncommon people in this city, and maybe someday, you’ll even call the big city “home”.

T H E • F R E E • Z O N E A CROSS-FANDOM POST-APOCALYPTIC RPG @ DREAMWIDTH set in the world of Stephen King's “The Stand” PREMISE \| SETTING \| TAKEN \| RULES \| FAQ \| APPLICATION
	This is how the world ends: June 13, 2012. A nanosecond computer error in a U.S. Defense Department laboratory results in the accidental release of Project Blue, a bio-engineered superflu virus with 99.4% communicability and a 99.4% mortality rate. First comes the fever, then the cough, then trouble breathing as the neck and face swells and turns black. Death occurs within three days of exposure to the contagion. It takes only 19 days for the virus, dubbed 'Captain Trips' by the media, to spread and wipe out almost all of humanity. Panic, martial law and anarchy sweep the world in its wake. Between June 16 and July 4, the world succumbs to a modern-day Black Plague. The stench of death and putrefaction is everywhere: rotting corpses litter the streets and almost every home. Roads and tunnels are flanked with vehicles that serve as coffins for millions who die while trying to flee the cities and their hometowns. Glass and debris are strewn across footpaths and roads from looters and panicked people trying to stock up on survival essentials. Only 0.6% of the population survives Captain Trips. You are one of the survivors. You don't know how you managed to remain immune to the virus and you don't know why. The hows and whys aren't important; what is important is finding other potential survivors. You begin trekking across the country in search of others. You see many horrors along the way, most of which you've become impervious to after all the horrors you've witnessed in the wake of Captain Trips. Eventually you start coming across crude handmade signs that tell you to go to Boulder, Colorado. Your gut tells you to follow those signs and your gut is right: after several weeks of travelling, you arrive in Boulder, exhausted, sunburnt, dehydrated, and discover a small community of survivors. The first of the survivors arrived in Boulder on July 24, 2012, almost six weeks after Captain Trips was exposed to the world. They, too, have travelled from far and wide in search of others, and have banded together to form a new democratic society known as The Free Zone. It's here that humanity must rebuild.

quantum_slide is a panfandom rp.

There are rifts in space and time across all the universes. Flotsam and Jetsam, and the occasional person fall these small rifts and end up in a completely new place. Londinium is one of the areas a lot of people end up in. It's an alternate London, so expect a London you know except with a few twists.

You never know what or who might fall through the rift next.

➾➣ ain't so much a welcome berk
They're just a bunch of damn Clueless. What could they possibly do to us? — Unknown Hiver Now in the Dead Book
"You look lost, sirrah. Walk with me for a moment and I'll teach you the dark of things -- that'd be the secrets, for a clueless traveler such as yourself. Mind you, don't brush against the grime; there's lots of soot-stained walls here. Now, sir prime, look up. Makes you dizzy, don't it, seeing the city of Cypher above you? See, living in an impossible city ain't always simple. You need a guide. That'll be twelve silvers."
➾➣ the city of keys
City of Keys is an adult-oriented, panfandom rpg set in a spherical, steampunk city that pinballs through the multiverse, picking up 'strays' along the way. It has a gritty, dark edge to it and has a tendency to be unforgiving to it's newcomers.

As all of my comms are about to come off hiatus, or already are, it might be a good time to promote them.

musing_way: A laid back, easy comm to let your muses roam free. We do have claims, but the activity check is one prompt reply a month, with one warning before actual removal. Original characters, fanfiction muses, and OCs in fandom verses are all welcome. So is breaking the fourth wall. RP is welcome and encouraged, both as posts of their own, and in the threads. "Dressing Room style"

muse_prompts: A community with no claims, no checks, just three sets of three prompts four times a month. If you link us to your work, it makes the mod happy. If not, the mod never knows. Original or fannish welcome.

parlour_treats: Twice a month the mod will offer prompts here for exploring your muses. Prompts 'borrowed' from elsewhere are also welcome to be explored. Acts as a no-claims, quiet place to work on character voices. Original and fannish muses welcome.

parthenon: Intended to be a claims table comm, themed by the Classical Greek muses. Each table has ten prompts, but the requirements vary. Open to fiction or art, though the tables may need a little tweaking for the artist in you. No pressure to complete your table. Original or fannish.

the_fic_trader: Home to my challenges, including the Transformers Gift Exchange in June and Gen in January (ongoing now for the third year!). Other challenges welcome, if you need a pplace to host one!

driftlock

I humbly offer

tf_dressing as an open RP dressingroom comm for Transformers (and canon humans) of any continuity or canon. And

tf_dressingooc for OOC chat, memes, and general hanging out.

Come play, have fun, and meet other TF RPers!

~~Ceiling!Deadlock is watching XD~~

ALSO while I am being shameless, you might check out Nights in Kaon a DW TF RP set in pre-war IDW Kaon. We will open as soon as we get, you know, people! :D

siglen_modding

siglen_dressing is an 18+ dressingroom community for any and all roleplay fandoms. For those unfamiliar, a dressingroom is a roleplay community that's open for anyone to play in--no need to apply for a character or even worry if someone else is already playing them (Where else can your character run into themself on the street, hm?) This one requires that players be at least 18 years old, but it's set up for both adult scenarios and general interaction.

( More info under the cut! )

localroleplay is (in response to popular request!) a community for advertising Dreamwidth-based or at least mostly Dreamwidth-hosted RP. You can also post looking for a game or looking for co-mods, if you like!

Time to try and interest some brave new souls in a few communities!

muse_prompts : This community posts 3 sets of 3 prompts (Word, quote, Picture) on the 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th each month. No matter what you do with the prompts, we'd love to seem them linked in the comments to the prompt post! Original or fannish welcome.

musing_way : A place to let you muses out. Fannish and original muses welcome. There are claims for muses, with an easy participation of one post of at least two words per month, with a warning given for the first skipped month. RP is encouraged in the muse posts, and prompts go up once a week on Sunday.

parlour_treats : No pressure, no claims RP or prompt reply community. Prompts (active/words/quotes) go up twice a month. Feel free to drop by with any muse at any time. Fannish and original welcome.

parthenon : A table claiming creative endeavor. Tables inspired by classical muses of Greece. Fannish and original claims welcome, with requirements varying by tables.

the_fic_trader : Home of the Gen in January ficathon, as well as the Transformers Gift Exchange. Also available to host other events by PM with me, the mod.

sharpest_asp

musing_way – All muses, both original and fannish, welcome to come look at our weekly prompts, join in, or talk to the ones milling around there already. Only one prompt per month required to be answered and a minimum of two words to qualify as a response. Don't want to claim a muse? That's fine; you can still interact on other muses' threads. Running a contest for DW paid time this month

muse_prompts – Four times a month, sets of prompts get posted to be used in any way. No claiming necessary, but I'd love to have a link back to the post if you do create something. Fannish or original.

parthenon – My quiet child. It's a comm of themed tables for claiming. Original and fannish claims welcome, with no rush on completion. Each table is inspired by a Greek Muse of Myth. Any creative work is acceptable. Running a contest for DW paid time this month

parlour_treats – This comm is a no claim, no activity place for your muses (original or fannish) to come and sharpen their style. Twice a month, early and late, prompts go up as creative aids. However, if you saw a prompt on some other communtiy? Go ahead and share your muse's reaction to it over here!

the_fic_trader – This is a place for hosting small gift exchanges and ficathons. So far, it is the home of the Gen In January ficathon and the Transformers Gift Exchange.

sharpest_asp

parlour_treats is a new, no commitment, no claiming, no activity checks community for letting your muses have their say. Prompts will be going up bi-monthly, but you can bring your own too! Also, all media types are welcome, for responses. So if your muse keeps bugging you to make a fanmix, this might be the place to share it.

Original and fannish muses accepted!

sharpest_asp

Since it's been a while, here's a few comms I have a hand in:

musing_way – All muses, both original and fannish, welcome to come look at our weekly prompts, join in, or talk to the ones milling around there already. I'd love to see more RP actually going on in the comm's threads, but it's also laid back with only one prompt per month required to be answered and a minimum of two words to qualify as a response. Don't want to claim a muse? That's fine; you can still interact on other muses' threads.

nowallareone – This comm has pretty much quieted down, but I am willing to gear things up for any influx we might gain.

elleth

A brand new online roleplaying game, allowing fandom characters and OCs both, is waiting for you to ~~provide food for the shambling masses~~ put your zombie survival knowledge to the test.

Sounds interesting? Head over to

crossroads_rpg for gameplay (though so far we are waiting applicants to join us, so there is not much there yet - hopefully subject to change!), or

crossroads_ooc to read game info and apply for a character of your choice. The format is versatile - you will have opportunity for fighting zombies in action scenarios, but within the safe zone, social gameplay will be possible as well.
