Smile For The Camera was a Play By Post Game on Nintendo Nsider2 Forums created by the user ???. Set in an Alternate Universe where monsters, ghosts, and various other types of supernatural phenomenon not only exist by are commonly acknowledged by the public, the RP centers around the cast of Monster Mashers, a reality TV program in which a group of monster hunters take down supernatural threats to protect humanity (and to earn as high ratings as possible). Hilarity Ensues.The original turned into a dead fic, however, and it didn't come back for a while...until the dead RP became a plot point in Rhadamanthus' Land of the Dead, which reminded ??? to revive it. The new version can be found here.
Almighty Janitor: Ranpu, a martial-arts expert, spent most of his life as a botanist before joining Monster Mashers.
Animal Wrongs Group: Averted. While Dyana cares deeply about the well-being of monsters, she's more than willing to help the others open a can of whoopass on one when push comes to shove.
Bilingual Bonus: Albert's taunt when fighting the Chupacabras: "Tu madre tiene la coche de un pajaro!" Which translates to "Your mother has a bird's car"...whatever that means...
Albert:Oh, hey, real nice move, dumbass! How am I supposed to use this from the ground, huh? Yeah, I'm feeling real useful now. Just gonna go beat this bitch up, okay. Oh! I know! I'll get her to step on me! Then her foot will hurt for like a whole goddamn day! Yeah, long-term, that's the way to win a fight. Maybe if I'm really lucky, she'll trip and poke her eye out on me. Then she'll be in trouble, yeah? Meanwhile, Mister Long, Green, and Handsome over there can bite her ankles. We'll be the perfect team! The Anklebiters! We'll be huge, I tell ya! Just you wait. We'll make millions by giving people irritating foot pain. Maybe we can get an ad deal with Adidas or something. Like, I'll be on a stool or something, and then Malachi puts on the shoe, and something awesome happens, and then I'll be like, 'OHHHHHH YEEEAAAAHHHH! DIG IT!' Then I'll marry some Swedish supermodel, and we'll have divorce three weeks later, and then there'll be a big scandal, and I'll be all over the tabloids, and then me and Malachi will have a falling-out and we'll go our separate ways. And he'll be like the goddamn Paul Mc Cartney and form a new group that's almost as good as we were, and I'll just be a homeless head on the side of the road in Milwaukee, wherever the fuck that is, asking people for money. And then one day Malachi will walk by, but he won't even recognize me, and he'll just keep walking, and I'll cry. And then I'll start singing, 'I ain't got no body...' And then a talent scout will find me, and I'll get a record deal and make millions. But then World War 3 will break out, and people won't want to listen to my music anymore, and I'll turn to drugs, and then eventually kill myself, and then everybody will start buying my records, because I'll be dead, see, and that's the only way for a true artist to become popular is to die. Like Picasso, and Michael Jackson...
Screwed by the Network: Played with In-verse. The fact that the cast members are trying to get the best ratings to prevent this. Has this coming in the future.
Transplant: Okay, let's start at the beginning...Albert first appeared as a character in the original Smile for the Camera, until that died. Almost a year later, he became a Transplant in Land of the Dead. Now he's back in Smile for the Camera as a Canon Immigrant.
