User blog:Madame O'Front/The Exquisite Corpse

I had an idea for a MHOC making project inspired by the Create a Monster dolls, Brook Cox’s Create A Character base sets and the exquisite corpse game, which involves users creating individual parts then combining them into one creature. I was also considering creating an database for these parts so they could be mixed and matched for new monsters later on. But there are some obstacles that prevented me from actually doing the project. My biggest concern for it was if it is to be turned into a free-2-use database, there’s always the problems of ungrateful users taking the content from the project without credit. This is because it works similarly to a dress up game and you know how people keep using them without credit. It’d be pretty unfair to anyone to collaborated on the project.

I also noticed a little game played by users on Amino where each comment provides some info for a bio that is used to create a character, no matter how weird. Once done, the character is usually put up for adoption so anyone interested can take them.

I wrote about these because I wanted to bring some form of these activities to the wiki. It’d be nice to have something our community can do together. Ideally, I wanted to do a mix of both projects but because I do know drawing isn’t everyone’s strong suit and hybrids aren’t everyone’s taste, I may as well leave out the CAM project. It is still possible to do the collaborative bio here and I’m wondering if anyone would be interested? Should we keep the results as community OCs or offer them up for adoption? I know each person already has their own cast of characters to take care of but I do want the OCs created to get some good homes.
