Hi all,
So, we run these little drives from time to time, and now seemed as good a time as ever to put the word out and see if there's any interest.
Some of you are aware, some of you aren't, but WF has an in-house, roleplay-based e-fed down the bottom of the page here called the WFWF. We've been around since the very beginning of these forums in one fashion or another, but over the past year or so, we've seen a bit of a drop off in activity as users move on to life and things of that nature. As such, we're working with a bit of a thin roster at the moment, and we're looking to bulk things up a bit as we head into our own brand of "WrestleMania season".
So what is a roleplay-based e-fed?
Basically, we're created a world where the WFWF is the premier, preeminent name in professional wrestling, a sport that, in this world, is not scripted and is very, very real. Real-life promotions like WWE, NJPW, ROH, etc. and their talents don't exist in this world - here, the WFWF is king.
To sign up, you start by creating an original character using our pre-made profile template. Once you "sign your contract" (by posting your new character's profile as a new thread here), you're eligible to be booked for matches on our upcoming shows. Once the card is posted, you have roughly ten days or so to create a roleplay, or RP, where you become your character, taking us through their day, their life, their world, and most importantly, their motivations and their mindsets going into their match. Once the writing period is up, the "owners" (myself and King Richius ) will read (and respond to) each RP, and pick a winner for each match based upon who we unanimously feel presented the stronger RP. We then collaborate amongst ourselves and other members of the fed to create a full write up of the show, where matches, storylines, angles, and segments play out.
Recently, shows have been run about once per month, so our overall time commitment is relatively low. That allows us time each month to post a show signup thread, compile a card, allow for a ten day or so writing period, determine winners, create the results, rinse, and repeat. Every show is preceded by a signup thread, so members can if need be, recuse themselves from a show if they don't think they'll have the time to participate. That being said - as with anything, what you get out of it is directly correlated to what you put in, and we try as much as we can to actively engage members in the creative process for their angles, and it's always welcome whenever members wish to write a match or two for a show, but it's by no means a requirement to play.
We're currently in the writing period for our next show, Under the Dome, which kicks off our World Domination Tour. One of the highlights of this coming set of shows is a tournament to award a brand new championship geared toward newer, up and coming characters, so if there's a time to get in at the ground level, now is it!
If you think this sounds like something you'd be into, come give us a look! We've got characters from all walks of life, and we're always open to new and interesting ideas to keep things fresh and moving. If you have any questions or need anything clarified before jumping on in, shoot myself or King Richius a message, and we'll do our best to guide you toward what it is you need.
If you've made it this far, thanks for reading - hope to see some of you down the end of the boards!
Many thanks to ~*Young $ Money*~ for affording me a bit of space to put some feelers out here!
