Gaian Name: x-EternalAlice-x
What WIPs do you like?: #1, #3, #4, & #5
What do you like about them?: I like #1 because there isn't many stories with vampires, as a whole, are the good guys. The two I've read where they were like that were good. So, I'm willing to give that one a shot.
I like #3 because I have always been a sucker for secret wars behind the scenes. It makes life more interesting.
I like #4 because while it is a bit cliché with the whole rebellion thing, it is a good cliché. So, I'm willing to give it a shoot if need be.
I like #5 because the idea is interesting, and a lot of stories don't deal with dream's influence on reality.
What do you think could be changed?: For #5, I would suggest not making it seem like there is a number limit. If there is a limited amount of people on each side, then it would be hard for everyone to join in on it.
For #4, if there was a way around the cliché, or to make it less cliché, then it wouldn't be bad to do so. However, there is a reason why clichés are used. It makes things more relatable. Thus, it is your choice.
Any ideas you want sent to Kanaka?: I really don't have any ideas per say. I have some, but they are more novel oriented than roleplay oriented. Thus, I don't think they would make good giant roleplays, let alone good roleplays in general.
What do you not like about the WIPs you don't like?:#2 I don't like it mainly because I know the book series. If we went with that idea, it could turn the guild into a series based rp, and I'm not exactly pleased with that idea.
#6 I have a like/don't like relationship with it. I like the idea of a turf war and such, but I haven't really joined many roleplays with this kind of theme. So, you could just say I'm neutral to it.
What do you think could be changed to make them better?: As said, my main issue with #6 is more of a personal preference than the idea being bad. So, if we did choose that one, I would be willing to give it a try. But, I do prefer the ideas I actually like over the something I'm neutral to.
The main thing with number #2 is how you are going to approach it. While it is heavily based off a series, you could make it less based off it using your own imagination and creativity. However, I do realize some of the other ideas are based off series of their own. But, I feel those could be turned into more original ideas a lot easier than #2

Gaian Name: Substitute Hero
What WIPs do you like?: #1, #4, #5
What do you like about them?: #1 sets up an interesting conflict that allows a typically "evil" race to play the part of the hero. #4 has that underdog story flair, and it could turn out really well if it contains an expansive world for both sides. #5 could have an interesting plot, especially with the fact that not many role plays these days dip into the dream world. Plenty of interesting character motivation, I think.
What do you think could be changed?: #5 should be opened up a bit to allow for more characters than just the 12 bonded pairs. I wouldn't mind seeing lesser nightmare creatures, or agents of good that aren't related to the six followers.
Any ideas you want sent to Kanaka?: Sure. I've got plenty of plots that I don't mind sharing, so long as I can get an idea of what everyone's looking for.
What do you not like about the WIPs you don't like?: The animal gene splicing thing is a bit overdone, I think, and you almost always see the same animals and same characters. I'd rather avoid that, thank you very much.
What do you think could be changed to make them better?: Nothing to be done for my dislike of #2's genre, but #3 and #6 just didn't really strike me. Nothing to be changed, it's just a matter of personal preference.

Gaian Name: Bitter Ambrosia
What WIPs do you like?: 1, 2, 3, 4
What do you like about them?: I enjoy those story types and have written or played out a few of them myself.
What do you think could be changed?: Well, in the 5th one, which i do think would make a good one, it might be a little limited. Maybe if there were allowed to be lesser nightmares and dreams, and the people who played the dreams and nightmares could play their humans as well, instead of having someone make a new profile for them.
Any ideas you want sent to Kanaka?: I do like the idea of the animal splicing one, but what about faeries? I know I am hopeless with that kind of stuff.... >.<'
What do you not like about the WIPs you don't like?: I'm just kinda neutral on them. I remember doing a turf war one once, but I controlled a whole gang in that one. It was quite difficult. other than the difficulty of the posts, it hadn't been that interesting other than the fact that the gangs were trying to take over the world of the humans from a much skewed world of Faeries. but, as to the two i didn't mention, i am not all that interested in playing in them.
What do you think could be changed to make them better?: Eh, i think i mixed up the questions, but oh well. i think i already answered somewhere on here...


I had a crazy Idea last night. What if there was an RP where we were toys, and trying to escape from an evil toy eating thing or whatever? >.<' I know that it isn't a fully formed idea, but I thought that it was pretty good...

Gaian Name: Nightmere Sharinorochi
What WIPs do you like?: 1, 3, 5, 6
What do you like about them?:1. The vampires struggling to prevent a race from dominating over them just as the humans had to.
3.
5. I always loved the idea of a war being fought out that people could only dream of
6. I'm a big mafia fan so I would always like the ideal of a turff war~
What do you think could be changed?:1. I think there should be some other race that is involved. Like they influenced the creation of the lessers.
3. Try to make it sound less like ff3 for the ds
5. No one can be people/dreams outside of the chosen 6 for each side
6. More gangs~ Most turf wars involve multiple gangs fighting for one space or their pride.
Any ideas you want sent to Kanaka?: what I said for 1 and 3
What do you not like about the WIPs you don't like?: 2. sounded odd to me
4. Way to much like Assassin's Creed.
What do you think could be changed to make them better?: nothing I can think of right now

Gaian Name: A Primrose Path
What WIPs do you like?: #1
What do you like about them?: 1. I've never done a vampiric role play before. 2.
What do you think could be changed?: Idk... It's a neat idea. But using different subforums instead of one IC makes it messy, the story is disjointed. I wouldn't support this idea at all.
Any ideas you want sent to Kanaka?: I mentioned a Zodiac/Astrology rp that I'd like to do. However, I leave running the guild to you guys as I'm not any good with that.
What do you not like about the WIPs you don't like?: Idk... perhaps if they were fleshed out more. 2 is a series based rp. And if it's going to be done, then a full background, not just a short paragraph needs to be given. Also, credit to the original author, as otherwise it's a form of plagiarism.
What do you think could be changed to make them better?: More detail.

A Primrose Path
The first for are actually all series based. They are from books that I have read over the years and of course I would give credit to the authors. And the only reason there is only short paragraphs for all the ideas is because for the last two there is already a story line behind them all. And for the first four a detailed background is linked if you look at the post that holds the vote count.

We still need more votes!
In 5 more days if I don't have more votes I will be making something up on my own with the help of a few friends.
