Well, I came back from vacation to find this place a lot slower than before, due to several members disappearing or posting less often(hopefully temporarily) over the summer. This has naturally caused many of the existing RPs to slow down.
At the same time, my vacation away from anything Cars-related has let my creative muscle relax, and I'm up for RPing again. The problem is, most of the currently running RPs have been going for too long, so it's a bit difficult to join with new ideas.
So, to get to the point, I have proposals for two new RPs:
1. A Plane or Boat RP
I'm still eager to RP as something non-car, and I think it still could be done despite earlier failure. The problem with the two previous attempts at a plane or boat RP is that they were too restrictive. "The Wild Blue Yonder" left anyone who wasn't involved in the race in the dark, while "Sea to Shining Sea" not only forced everyone to make a specific type of character, it forced them to make military characters, which are inherently very restrictive.
So the solution is to make a plane or boat RP with just enough background story to bring our characters together, but still free enough for any type of character to participate.
2. Time Travel RP
This is a more "exotic" idea that I thought of while in Thailand. Our characters are, through some strange twist of fate(magic?), transported to pre-Interstate Radiator Springs in the '50s or '60s. They're transformed into a '50s/'60s version of themselves(unless they're already a model from that era), and try to find a way back to their time while at the same time dealing with the issues of the past. I think it could be interesting.
So, what do you all think? I'll probably only go with one idea, although I might try both of them if they prove equally popular. Any and all feedback or suggestions are welcome.
