Blog crews. Whoopee.
I needed a reason to stay active on LJ. XD
BLOG CREW (n.) - A random gathering of people who pick out characters from a certain fandom a.k.a. "claim" them for some reason or another. Not to be confused with an RPG or a claiming community, as people do not roleplay their chosen characters or claim other things besides (CANON) characters. People also proclaim to the world that they are their chosen character in a particular crew and may or may not make fun of others who were unable to claim that particular character.
RANDOM EDIT~ Heh, added more blog crews: Anime/Manga Mechas (LULZ - ONLY from anime and manga, thank you very much XD And for those who don't know what mechas are, they're huge fighting robots driven by at least one person...hell, sometimes they are on autopilot), Animanga Weapons (DOUBLE LULZ...and these are DIFFERENT from random items or powers; weapons are objects specifically used for combat. Again, from anime and manga only. XD) A Series of Unfortunate Events, and Keys to the Kingdom.
And an added bonus~ SEIYUU BLOG CREWS! There aren't too many at the moment, but I may start adding more.
BLOG CREW AFFILIATES:
itsplashes's Blog Crews (Ouran Host Club, Full Moon wo Sagashite, Fruits Basket)
icy_flares's Blog Crews (Fullmetal Alchemist, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle)
kyoy's Blog Crews (Cardcaptor Sakura, Chobits, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, etc.)
starlight_19's Blog Crews (Air Gear, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Detective Conan, etc.)
nuvamana's Blog Crews (Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto, Boku no Koe, Dir en grey, etc.)
DA RULES! (Inspired by kyoy)
1. One claim PER CREW PER USER. Comment with the claim/s and respective crew/s you're claiming. *insert big fat DUH sign coming up*
2. No flaming, spamming or bashing people and/or other things especially when whoever or whatever you want has been claimed. It's a first-come, first-serve basis, see. Sad, isn't it? But it's also a rule the creator of the blog crew can abuse. *evil laughter*
3. You may or may not claim a character of the same gender as you are. Like for example, I'm a girl, but DIBS ON EDWARD ELRIC FROM FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST! XDDDD (Bet you saw that coming.)
4. Characters ONLY. No items, no pairings, no body parts, no real-life people. CHARACTERS, whether main or supporting or even random extras who only appear once or twice. Unless specified, of course. The mecha and weapon blog crews are obvious exceptions - and in those cases, no characters. XD Heed thy common sense, yo~
5. Comment with the crew and character/claim you're taking - as much as possible, full name, plzkthx. XD That is, if applicable. If you don't know the name of the character, just describe him/her/it and we can set things straight. In the case of inanimate objects, state the fandom and full name if applicable as well - if there is one. Mechas usually have pretty shiny names, but weapons usually don't; then just state the weapon and whoever owns it.
6. Check the comments first (Ctrl+F is thy friend) if someone has commented first with a character you had in mind to keep disagreements from sparking, because sometimes the list may not be as recently updated as it should be. First-come, first-serve.
7. If you plan to move to another journal, comment beforehand, or at least, show yourself or else your character/claim will be up for grabs again.
8. You can choose manga-only or anime-only or game-only characters, if applicable. But you cannot be the anime/manga/game version of a common character. For example (sorry, Ed! XD) you can't just be anime!Ed or manga!Ed. You're Ed, period. Note the full stop. This also applies to objects.
9. Pimp the crew. XD Whether on comms or on your own journal. I couldn't care less how you link back, so long as you...well, link back. But there ARE some codes to get you started...which I'm too lazy to fancy-fy.
Yeah. I'm THIS lazy.
?YOUR CREW?http://austere-flare.livejournal.com/30023.html">[YOUR CHARACTER]
10. Questions? Can't put your finger on the name of the character you want? Am I being too weird? Please, do comment.
