Forumsona: Fictional character based upon one's personality and behavior on an Internet forum, with the appearance of their forum avatar's humanisation. Basically, an artist's view of how you appear to others on the Internet.
If you have followed the Disee x Aqui shipping discourse from the Corrupt-a-Wish thread, you'd have known about the beginning of my forumsona fanarts. Basically, I've represented [Meme Friend] TheOddISee and aquilus3 as fictional characters and made them kiss. It was really fun, and upon suggestion, many other members have wanted their own forumsona, which I've drawn.
The idea of the resulting weird cast being made into a Fanventure soon came to mind (especially considering Disee and Aqui have already been used in transformative works, and people liked it). It was decided to be a participative adventure with mixed art styles, featuring members of Omegaupdate as characters.
This thread will be used to discuss this idea, as not to clog up the Doodle Caboodle thread, where it began. There are already several guidelines we've decided on, and some I felt were necessary.
The Rules
-Before all, we'll need a list of forumers willing to join, i.e be cast as characters.
-I've already made some forumsona designs, but you are free to come up with yours, of course.
-Forumsonas are by definition made to be drawn and used by other people in the collaborative Fanventure and fanarts. By joining, you must agree on letting your sona be used by other people.
-Sonas will have nicknames based on their forumer's pseud. If you don't want to have your pseud used/deformed, you can come up with a substitute name.
-This adventure will feature art; but even if your sona is cast, you don't have to draw or write for it. It's better if you do, but you can choose not to.
-Forumsonas are fictional characters and do not represent the forumer behind them. Making fictional charas out of real people is tricky, so that point needs to be clear. Even for the sake of characterisation, you are not to give your real names, localisations or anything you deem too personal. You are not to ask those details from other forumers.
-Guests cannot star in it. All guests will be represented by gray people with a paperbag on their head.
-People who've just joined the forum aren't encouraged to take part. We don't know anything about you, so how could you have an internet persona?
-If you don't want to star in Forumstuck but would like a cameo, ask nicely.
The Characters
Here are already some who were willing to join:
-SpottedBlades as Karmyn
-PlatinumUmbreon as Plateon
-aquilus3 as Aqui
-heyitskane as Kane
-ominousscientist as Sci
-@nightlights as Nights
-[Meme Friend] TheOddISee as Disee
-quixoticTokki as Tokki
-loading as...#NoSpoiler
-automatedTimeshift as Timothy
And some who have expressed their desire to help along:
-Sharkalien
-thoran
-@arbitrarytemplar
-ilikeswordz
The Plot
(This is a Beta version of the final plot)
A group of friends bound by the same passion will gather on the Internet. They will do something that's never been done before: create a collab Sburbventure webcomic and have lots of fun. However, as they progress, some strange events start to happen, and will take them down one by one. To find out why, they will need to reach the deepest levels of meta ever achieved...
Will our friends be able to complete their project? Or will they all suffer from deadly plot twists?
How it Works
-You can draw in whatever style you choose. You can stick to the MSPA style, use your own, try something new, or even use something unseen like 3D, photomontages or live-action.
-Forumstuck will feature commands, as to get the rest of the forums involved, but you can choose to go freestyle and do whatever you want.
-As many part-takers have other projects, Forumstuck updates can be irregular. It's mostly a fun game, but you can give it priority over your other stuff if you want.
-Panels will be drawn by whoever calls dibs on them. If you have called dibs but can't actually do it, someone else can take your turn.
-Try to have variety in who gets to draw what. The goal of Forumstuck is to be a collaborative experience, with as many styles as possible. I mean, just look at the possible array of styles we can reach:
(Oceanfalls by nightlights)
(Labtrapped by heyitskane)
(Zodiacstuck by yours truly)
(Househeld by Sharkalien)
I mean, there's quite a variety of 'em. (all images used under Fair Use copyright law please don't sue me i'm poor)-Most important, it has to be fun. If you don't want to do it anymore or if you get too busy with other things, just tell so and it'll be alright. You're free to come back whenever you want.
Once we figure everything out and get ready to draw our first panels, I'll make a thread in the Cradle. If we have enough updates to get a mirror on Mspfanventures, everyone who'll have participated so far will be a mirrorer, given I figure out how to do that.
