The RACCCafe (or sometimes RACCafe) is a continuity-free outpost where the characters of rec.arts.comics.creative can unwind after a hard day of being mangled by their writers. Anything can happen, as long as it's funny, and there are no consequences! Especially if it involves things exploding. Check your sanity at the door.
The older posts are collected here, while newer ones can be found by searching Google Groups or the Eyrie mailing list for "RACCCAFE."
Contents
Rules
- No continuity. Events in the RACCCafe don't have any impact on regular stories, although those in imprints more susceptible to fourth-wall-breaking may make the occasional reference.
- One must actively volunteer one's characters for use in the RACCCafe. Given the nature of this setting, you're likely to see your characters gleefully mangled. Once you stick your head into the blender, you're giving people permission to turn it on, but no one should grab you and stuff your head into the blender against your will. This bears summarizing in big letters:
- ANYONE WHO JOINS IN IS FAIR GAME, LEAVE EVERYONE ELSE ALONE
- Characterization isn't too important, but try to pay attention to what has gone before, unless ignoring it would be funnier.
