Okay. I've got a game name, a mod journal, and communities. Barebones, but I'd love to continue discussing the mechanics of the game. I want to continue to operate without a main network community, at least in the beginning, but I think I will make a community for players to create a permanent post for their character's contact posts in lieu of requiring them to have one on their own journals. That way, given the AU nature of panfandom characters, if they have their journal in more than one game with more than one contact post, they don't have to worry about keeping it sorted out.
I do want to encourage interactions between characters, however, without using that wide network feature; this may be difficult to accomplish without starting characters out in a more jamjar setting. I'm looking for some ideas on how to execute that. One thought I had was, since they're going to be AU'd or OCs (pending, might do memloss eventually but for now I'm running with the former), that they receive a mysterious invitation from some organization or other to meet in X place, at X time, for X reason, to promote a mingling opportunity for new characters. But for now, that's all I've got.
It's going to take a good long time to type up everything that needs to be typed up as far as the information on all the different species and sects of the differing supernaturals, but having a journal feels like a good first step and it motivates me to get the ball rolling.
