Why the Camarilla is pro-Internet (or should be)

The entire idea that the Camarilla wouldn't use social media to gain more power is just absurd to me. "They don't understand the technology cos they're old." Yeah, there are real people like that who still fucking delegate. Actually that's the entire point of bureaucracy, no one is good at everything so the point of any organization is to make up for the weaknesses of different individuals through group effort. We live in an era where people don't share values, views, beliefs, where people will actively stay in their own little bubbles and that's all facilitated by the mass availability of social media and how content is curated. Every single major faction in the world of darkness would be stumbling over themselves to use that to their advantage, whether it's Pentex, the Technocracy, the Nine Traditions, the Seelie and Unseelie or the fucking Camarilla. The Camarilla are all about subtle manipulations from the shadows, that's like their whole thing in contrast to the Sabbat who just use force. So yeah I really hate that entire argument that the Elders would be against the usage of the internet because of Witch Hunters. Like if anything Social Media could protect the Masquerade and allow Kindred to trick the Kine even if masquerade breaches occur. "Oh obviously this video of a nosferatu tearing through a crowd is a Russian psyop." "That shapeshifting gangrel is actual a neat series of special effects from a new movie that's in production." The only conflict between the Anarchs and Camarilla would be how the internet and social media should be used not if. Because both groups would obviously agree that it should be used. Hell even the Sabbat would agree, what a better way to find new meals then to use the internet?

PSA

Just a heads up, there are bots going around on AO3 accusing people of using AI. Considering the timing, this is likely AI bros' retaliation for AO3 users calling them out for scraping their work. Examples of what you might be sent:

Amazing banner by @crownedinmarigolds! Introducing a collaborative event between writers and artists, the OC Meet Cute event! Created by @porcelainseashore, @crownedinmarigolds, and @vampemoqueen.

Apply as a writer, artist, or either to be placed in a writer-artist pair! After we set you up with your match, connect with them privately to discuss how a meet cute scenario with your OCs would happen, then share the results with a joint writing and art piece!

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

Submit a form to participate as a writer, artist, or either and specify the type of content and match you would be comfortable with. FOR SAFETY REASONS, THIS IS AN 18+ ONLY EVENT. No minors, sorry! Link to the form here: WoD OC Meet Cute Form Once we receive the forms, you will receive an email with your role and your match's contact info to coordinate your pieces.

Coordinate with them privately through any method of choice (we recommend Discord or Tumblr's messaging system) to create a meet cute scenario between two OCs.

OCs can come from any splat or version from the World of Darkness, but make sure to discuss them with your partner to make sure you’re both aligned on the storyline and expectations. 

We recommend doing a Session 0 to get a feel for both characters and what you're comfortable with, but this is optional and not required.

Once each of you have a scenario you're both happy with, create a matching writing and art piece to show how it went down!

Submit your joint pieces via Tumblr using the tag #wodmeetcute

At the end of the event, all pieces will be linked in a Tumblr masterpost showcasing everyone’s work!

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Writing pieces should be at least 500 words. There is no limit after.

Art pieces can be in any visual medium.

No AI generation for either writing or art.

No hate speech (i.e slurs) or hate groups (i.e Nazis) allowed.

DEADLINES

Form closes April 9th.

Pairs introduced by April 13th.

Deadline for submission May 31st.

FRIENDLY REMINDERS

Meet Cutes can be one-off encounters, friendly, antagonistic, or even romantic! They do not have to be “cute” in the traditional sense. Make an encounter that makes the most engaging story for your pair.

Please be mindful of lines and veils. We will do our best to pair people who are looking to avoid certain kinds of content, but ultimately it’s up to you and your partner to set boundaries.

Please communicate with your partner regularly! We will not supervise or facilitate any pairings once the matches have been made. If communication isn’t maintained or breaks down, you may contact us to potentially get a new partner, though it’s not guaranteed. 

Feel free to DM or tag us if you have any questions. You can also find us and other artists and writers on the Gallery Noir Discord server!

Good luck and have fun!
