Angst Week: Schedule

weekevents:

Angst Week will be happening on the second week of September, which will be on a Sunday.

15th September is the date.

Hopefully you will have decided on what to do by then.

As it falls on a Sunday, hopefully that means you guys will have the time to post up your starters and get started with the RP-ing.

Considering that angst doesn’t happen out of random, I will mention this again.

If you decide to make this into a canon thing for your character, you will need to do a prep RP to build up the relationship (unless the relationship is already there).

So if you can get that thread going ASAP and have everything prepared before the start of Angst Week, that would be the best situation.

Alright, with the date announced, you guys are free to start talking and preparing for it.

Best wishes, good luck, and don’t forget to stock on the tissues 8D

ANGST WEEK: quick FAQ

weekevents:

It seems like a few people are questioning what should be happening during Angst Week. I’ll try to break it down so everybody can understand.

  • During Angst Week, the point is to just drown yourself in sorrow. So the idea is to do nothing but angst-based RPs the entire week.
  • You can continue on with your other RPs if you want to, or if they’re especially important for character development or the like. But it is recommended that you don’t so the entire event has a better and stronger impact.

If, for example, you want to break canon ties and turn your character into serial killers, then you are allowed to do so.

If you wish to use this chance for character development, then you can do that too.

We’re not restricting what kind of RP you want to do with your partner. You can use this chance to do that Alternate Universe angst-based RP you’ve always wanted to do with your RP partner. Break canon ties and create a separate universe where your character is someone they’re not in the canon universe.

Or you can use this chance to stay in the canon universe and build up drama. If you choose to stay in the canon universe, then obviously there will be lasting effects later when the RP is finished, so keep that in mind.

Considering we’re also planning other week-long events, you can follow this blog as well if you want to keep track on announcements and what-not.

ANGST WEEK

weekevents:

What is it: an entire week of nothing but angst. Tear-jerking, heart-wrenching, maybe rage-inducing angst.

Why is this happening: because crack happens in an almost random fashion (as it should be) but angst is also good, but sometimes a bit of incentive is needed. So here I am, I shall give you the incentive to get to those angst threads that you’ve always wanted to do, but cannot do because you’ve been doing too much crack as of late. I SHALL BE YOUR REASON.

Where is this happening: here on Tumblr, on your RP blog. Unless you want it to happen in your ass. You need to talk with your RP partner about that though.

Who will be involved: me as the so-called ‘moderator’, or as the person you want to come to when you have questions. You, as the participant. Your RP partner, as the second participant. Also your readers, because everybody isn’t safe from the angst.

What is going to happen:

  • We are going to go about this in two ways. We can give you a theme, in which then you can discuss it with your partner. Or you can just come up with one yourself. Now remember, as angst does deal with a lot of background and feelings and the important nitty gritty that makes up the entire RP-ing experience, do talk about it thoroughly with your partner. DO NOT MAKE YOUR PARTNER UNCOMFORTABLE.
  • In general purpose, for a week, you have the chance to start an angst thread with your RP partner. It doesn’t have to be finished in a week, no. That’s crazy talk. You have one week to start a thread. To finish a thread, it’s up to you since we all know how unforgiving real life is. Just remember that the theme is angst and nothing but pure angst.

When will this happen: currently looking into some time in September where there aren’t any big events happening, like NaNoWriMo in November. Can’t do November, nope.

How will it happen: 

  1. You will talk with your RP partner about this. Or you can just show them this post, either one works.
  2. Once you have decided what will happen in your angst thread, you may start creating a starter.
  3. Prepare for the tears and sobs and crying. Get tissues and chocolate, plenty of it.
  4. When the ANGST WEEK rolls in, post your starter and get started with your RP-ing with your RP partner.
  5. DROWN IN THE FEELS AND SORROWS AND TEARS.

Rules and guidelines:

  1. Anybody is allowed to enter, do whatever you want.
  2. You can have multiple threads with multiple partners, it doesn’t matter. Just be creative that you don’t use the same plot everywhere. If you want to stick to a broad theme, such as having your character dying, do be creative and come up with a different way of how your character is going to die in each thread. Having your character die due to a car crash every single time isn’t going to really make it fun.
  3. You can go on AU if you want, it’s fully up to you. Run two threads with the same person if you want to, one for a Modern!AU and another for the normal verse, do whatever you want.
  4. If you have someone you want to do this with, but have not really built up the relationship needed to cause tears and heartbreak and sorrow (platonic, romantic, any kind of relationships), you can talk to them and build up the relationship until it gets to that point of where everything can get extremely messy. You have until the start of the ANGST WEEK to build up that relationship. Or, as mentioned above, you can just go with the AU option.

I think that’s it. Do tell me if I missed out on anything. Will add in more if I have anything.

Reblog if you like the idea, message me what you think, etc etc.

Enjoy 8D
