Not so much slice-of-life, more like plots the rest of the year aren't part of the greater arc and don't change the setting and are more ad hoc. Like the summer plots are all part of one ongoing story about the world the game takes place on, whereas non-summer plots are just episodic or events and don't reveal anything new about the world. (The idea being that many RPers are more free in the summer than the rest of the year, so the plots the rest of the year are things where a person could hiatus for a month and not miss major reveals an easily slip back into the game after hiatus was over.) Actually a couple of us are hoping to get a little plot going this fall involving the criminal organizations.
