Holycrap, seriously? XD That's more than I've got ideas for.
As for plots, I do want them to be somewhat whimsical, and I decided that we won't have just one. One plot can lead to another, and all members can take turns steering. How's that sound?
Ooh, idea. What if it takes place on a terraformed moon and all the imaginary seas of the moon have become real seas? I know it's unlikely, but certainly fantastical :3

Mmm, that would certainly satisfy a sci-fi/fantasy aspect, although it would drift further away from reality as -we- know it. Personally, I'm very grounded in my creativity, but not limited. If it's sci-fi, I generally can expand to other worlds, usually if an Earth or Earth equivalent is involved, it would just seem more... -real- to me, I guess. Like, I could relate to it more. Same goes for fantasy. Honestly, I've never lived on a moon. But if the moon were next to a planet, I could relate to that more. But then, that might get more sci-fi than fantasy.
I like the idea of the isolation of a small, somewhat technological coastal society of relatively small population, built along the beachside. I guess by sci-fi, I was thinking more like unexplainable phenomena or mystery, as I imagine much of the island, if it were big enough, would be largely unexplored.
It'd be nice to get on a messenger to know more about the RP and what you had planned, cuz otherwise I really have no footing. X3
Oh, and as for the plots, I like the idea. =3 Though I think direction will need group approval first. X3 Or at least moderator/admin approval or something. >.> However, I think multiple simultaneous plots, if they can be run without confusion and still be spliced together effectively, would be interesting also. =3

I don't see how it'll be more sci-fi than fantasy, specially since this terraformed moon will be no different than the earth is now and will not affect the RP much except in how all the seas will be named. So in a sense, it will be an Earth equivalent. To me, the thin line separating fantasy from sci-fi is that sci-fi has to be believable and have an explanation, following laws that are known to us. Fantasy can have a flat disc for a planet or a gas giant populated by floating islands and it doesn't have to make sense - it's magic. But if can be just an alternate Earth, if that's easier to imagine :3 Yes, plots would get group/admin approval. We don't want anyone going crazy and dooming the beach-dwellers to their deaths. Tropi, we will all name stuffs  But if you have some, then thow em our way. |

Actually, why not? The animals can be more cartoony, I mean. Have flexable beaks, feather-fingers which they can use just fine, and all that other good stuff, whereas with anthros, we'll be stuck trying to explain things. It's like the fantasy/sci-fi difference |

Waira, with a stress on the last syllable... Or no stress.
Tuulikki sounds good for a "cold and rainy" beach, too. But I only had one vote.
