So, too, is Death possessed of infinite strategies and a gaunt nature.
Everything is on fire but you look hotter than ever.

Against the flame our love sheds like tired sheets: pulled back, charred rings. The leftover heart is ice-hot and silent—planetary—tinged with the immolation of some long-forgotten romance.

Fading — as lovers do when pulled apart, chilled in the absence of the other; as the stone does when the match leaves, crematorium nigh combustible.

Touch me, baby & hold me tight; let us both catch fire.

( It’s too cold to burn without huddling. )

Pour me a drink, at least it helps with the conflagration.


next prompt: venerated queen

i am in agreement that some level activity needs to be enforced in order to maintain said face claim/canon position. one or two posts (or more) per month - whatever makes sense for the site and its demand / sustainability.

in regards to reservations itself (whether canons or face claims), there's not many viable options out there that can guarantee 100% member satisfaction. the best i've experienced (and here i'm talking about fcs) is the dreaded first come first serve privilege, and if someone can't make it whether bc of timezones or work or some other commitment, they could always tag in a proxy who might be able to make their reservation at the desired time in the same discord post.

as for canons.... nothing brings me more anxiety than the rat race itself. the last time i competed for a "leadership" position i had to set my computer's clock down to the exact second, and even doing that didn't mitigate the nervous heart palpitations. 

that being said i still prefer FCFS (via discord, for better mobile accessibility). Though I do like the idea of temporarily locking canons positions. it'll help temper any first month rotating doors the flakes 8-|

"canon" in my experience = leadership roles and leadership means you're responsible for an aspect of that faction.

you don't need a canon position to impact the site wide plot. you don't even need a canon position to feel important. i've seen plenty of writers who've made huge IC waves with characters who had never achieved "canon" status. rather, canons (at least on faction/political sites) are usually packaged with the inherent caveat that those who adopt said positions will be there for the faction/community and not just oocly or with inclusive availability (or plotting ability), but also be ready if xyz happens.

as for myself — i often take canons. other times i choose not to. it really depends if said position makes sense for the character concept i have in mind, as well as whether if i have the time to shoulder its responsibility.
