If anyone so desires...

So a new show just went up over at the LJ comm (and it's pretty great, if you like "zombies are the good guys" stories!), and it reminded me that I had been meaning to post this for a while now.

The way the "I Surrender!" meme works sometimes means that you have to wait for someone else to do it first. If you're looking to jumpstart the meme again on your own journals, for any reason, here's some language that might be useful:
(REVERSE) I SURRENDER
1. Comment to this post with a basis of some TV show idea. (Science fiction show, medical drama, criminal procedure, etc...)
2. I will create a cast of characters, including the actors who'd play them.
3. There will be actor photos, character bios and show synopsis, among other things.
4. Post to your own journal!
Hope everyone around here is doing well. Happy TV show-making!
-Esther, one of your friendly mods

Mod post: Welcome all!

Dreamwidth, hello! I SURRENDER: The TV Meme That Ate Manhattan is delighted to set up camp over here.

To get us started (and excited), let's jump right in and get crazy, shall we? Post your introductions here -- a little bit about yourself, a fun fact or two, a link to a show you may have already put together, and -- here's the most important part -- leave an open prompt for someone else to fill. In fact, leave as many of these as you want. Let's get this ball rolling! ♥
THE MEME
1. Comment to this post with "I surrender!" and I'll assign you the basis of some TV show idea. (Science fiction show, medical drama, criminal procedure, etc...)
2. Create a cast of characters, including the actors who'd play them
3. Add in any actor photos, character bios and show synopsis that you want.
4. Post!
(If you'd like to see how people have done this in the past, feel free to peruse the amazing stories people have been telling at [livejournal.com profile] isurrendered!)

I Surrender: How it works

Post this meme in your journal
1. Comment to this post with "I surrender!" and I'll assign you the basis of some TV show idea. (Science fiction show, medical drama, criminal procedure, etc...)

*Not to say that posting to your own journal is frowned upon. It absolutely is not! This community serves as a place for people to come together, post all forms of work and squee (writing, fanart, mixes, vids, meta, fanfic, what-have-you) and generally get the ball rolling on a whole bunch of fantastic original work. Welcome, and enjoy!
