a DC dressing room?

HI GUYS RANDOM QUESTION.

If I were to try to start a decent DC dressing room of some kind, would you use it?
➔ BUT JILLI, AREN'T THERE A BILLION OF THESE?
No, there are like... 3.5, all of which either aren't really used (to the best of my knowledge! please correct me if I am wrong!) or are infamously terrible.

➔ Why not try to revive one of the existing non-sucking ones?
Well, er, I don't know who runs those. Sorry...

➔ Why only a DC dressing room?
I dunno, I guess it could be all comics! But there are a few of those, too. Don't wanna step on any toes.

➔ WHO ASKED YOU TO MOD OH JESUS
No one did shut up I realize I'm not. Awesome. At modding. Due to a fundamental lack of tact, kindness, patience, etc. But someone else could always do it! I'm really just broaching the subject.
What always annoys you about dressing rooms? What kind of differences would you like to see if this did happen? How much setting/what kind of theme would you like? What kind of rules?

... and what would you name it.

notanothercrisis is sadly one character too long, for a name suggestions. 8(

THAT SAID. This piques my interest. ... OH RIGHT, THERE ARE QUESTIONS HERE.

What annoys me is, well. A few things. One, the whole six word story thing, for reasons you've already outlined in comments slkdafjsdlk. Two would be when you get a huge influx of the same character and it's like. Oh my god, we have an infestation. If played right, it can be really interesting, but. Without something like quality control (which I imagine is hard to get in a dressing room) it's hard to do.

Settings and themes are always really helpful, IMHO, even if it's a loose setting. The problem with some settings, though, is eventually people get bored if they can't venture out of the same giant space station or whatever. So maybe putting it in like. Continental United States would give people enough room to mess around and be free, but it's restrictive enough for the people that need restrictions to really feel comfortable.

IDEK what kind of rules would go into a dressing room outside of the general RP etiquette and stuff. Maybe something that's would be like CHILL. IT'S JUST A DRESSING ROOM. Since I've seen DR plots get wild and crazy and out of control. And then people are wild and crazy and out of control and. Yeah. Not fun.


I HOPE THIS HELPS.

notmorecrises could possibly work, though. ... why am i trying to think of these things at three am.

Plus I think all the fliers and speedsters and teleporters and people would die if they were all just. Stuck in one city and could never move from it.

Exactly!

Man, hamster tubes would be an awesome mode of transportation.
