IC Anon Meme

THE IC ANON MEME


RULES AND INFO

Everything must be from an IC in-world perspective. The meme is specifically a Legion fandom meme. UP citizens, Legion World Staff, and Legionnaires all have access to the meme. While this meme is in the meme comm, it is real in the game universe and all the Legionnaires and the public can see it ICly. Rather than other ic anon memes where characters post starters to the meme, this meme operates like real world memes like rpanons.

There are 3 ways to post. When posting as non-Legionnaires, do it anon. When posting as Legionnaires that unwisely comment unanon, just do it logged in. If posting as Legionnaires going anon, do it logged in, but mark "anon" in the subject, so we know it's anon, but can have a laugh over which Legionnaires are secretly stanning or shitposting.

Not necessarily a rule, but keep in mind that attitudes in the UP are different than our world. Most people are referred to generally as "people" or "sentients" instead of species-specific terms like "humans." Most racist, homophobic, transphobic, sexist, and other "ist" attitudes are now uncommon among most species in the UP. Many sexual orientations exist, polyamory and polygamy are considered acceptable, and gender identity is very flexible. Species-based xenophobia tends to be the bigger social ill and even with that, many are against it. The species that are most disliked and distrusted are Durlans, Daxamites, and Roboticans. If you want to use them for fun, common UP cursewords are on the Legion Basics page.

Beyond sticking to those basics, don't worry about getting anything "wrong." It's a meme and people tend to say stupid things on memes. You can even make up fake species and planets and details about them. The UP is huge and has lots of planets and species not mentioned in the game info.

You can pretend to write things from the POV of Legion staff sharing the deets on the Legionnaires. However, they wouldn't share tactical info on the Legionnaires that could get them hurt in battle, only juicy gossip. Also, if someone is writing from the POV of Legion staff and writes something about your character that your character doesn't actually do, keep in mind that half the time people make shit up. It'll just be false gossip.

Try to keep anything that can't be put behind a link sfw. While you can write someone sharing the start of their steamy slash fanfic, try to keep it limited to just part of it. Linking to fanart as if it was made in universe is a-okay, but just make sure to put it under a link and warn if it it's nsfw. Please check character ages before posting any nsfw stuff to make sure they're over 18.

Feel free to get really crazy. Fandom gets crazy and fandom is no different in the glorious robot future. There are normal posters, shitposters, trolls, rpf ficcers, stans, slashers, all the same things our time has. There are macros and gifs and ongoing fake memes you can make up. There will be a few preposted topics but you can make up new ones or just have anons create new topics or troll.

The meme is generally modless and has no thread-freezing. Fandom plays it dangerous in the future and the ic mod rarely intervenes, though anons sometimes try to get them to. Anon comments can be deleted by the real mods at the request of players (like say if they made a formatting mistake and want to repost) but there should be no need to delete anything beyond that since it's all IC.

This anon meme is set shortly after the events of "Out With the Old" and "Books of Magic." For "Out With the Old," some of the early events were caught on camera, but a few minutes after the teams broke in, video footage got cut, which means the full events weren't visible to the public. You can treat it as the first half of most of the fights were broadcast. For "Books of Magic" none of the magical missions were in public places, but the Legion did release a press release about getting something that could re-capture the Spectre. The discussion of overthrowing the corrupt UP Councilmembers is completely secret, was encrypted to just to active Legionnaires, and even staff doesn't know about it. Said information cannot be leaked or else your character's post will be traced and they'll be booted from the team.

So, just out of curiosity, which of the Legionnaires do you think got the most awkward adult beefswelling while they were tied up?

I bet our Quantum Queen found it to be the weirdest experience of her life being on the opposite side of the handcuffs.

The grondlefic is alive and well, I see.

So I've been commissioned to write a story and I need some historical help. The Legionnaires who use those slugthrowers, the lubricants they're used to. Are they non-toxic?

Re: STATE OF THE KINK MEME

historically they were non-toxic. this doesn't mean good for you, though.

dare i ask?

Freelancer/Legal Eagle hatesex.

My commissioner felt that there was some negative feelings there, but Washington was America's capital, so they'd go well together. It beats having to write more Doubleprime.

i thought the preferred pairing was Legal Eagle/Master Chief/Cortana?

Re: STATE OF THE KINK MEME

(Anonymous) 2017-04-19 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Honestly, I ship MasterLancer. But when it comes to Cortana, anyone else is just Chief's sidepiece.

it does make more sense, but i don't see how an ai, even one who's built off the human brain, could process physical attachment

she's got to let him destress somehow

Re: STATE OF THE KINK MEME

Is a character who's never had sex in his life going to see it as a 'destressing' technique, though? That would be something interesting to explore, I think.

I'll do it in another fic. They didn't pay for that and it's poor business to shove my own ships and kinks into a fic I've been hired to write.

if you don't find the time, i will. i think it would be cute.

Do it anyway. It's really doubtful we'll write the same story and there's no reason to stop yourself just because I might do something similar.

Do you think Speedball's little bubbles are persistent?

Could you use one as, say, a ball gag?

Important fic writing information.
