( Day 06 – Pb(s) you've grown to love through rp )

I've probably been influenced by the little bit of that new Matt Damon movie, Elysium, I saw when I went to see Star Trek, but I've been wondering about making a game about a war like that. One where the super rich have everything and quite literally live on another planet, leaving the poor to scrounge around on barren earth. The poor decide that they've had enough and are going to take what they need, or perhaps take the other planet. They conduct experiments to enhance themselves, or their weapons to prepare for the conflict.

I would want it to have a set time frame, so everyone kind of knew what the pace of things would be coming in. I think ideally it would be small, with clearly set out connections between all characters to keep things interesting for everyone. The journals would probably be the communications between the rebels.

I see the upper class as having some serious corruptions. Perhaps drugs, or prostitution. Something that keeps a small, but steady flow of the poor up to the better world, if only briefly.

I would be really interested in having characters die in game. Watch political upheaval and conflict on both ends. See how things shook out in the end.

This might be impossible, but I figured I'd ask around and see if any of you guys were interested. If not, then I suppose I'll just let it go. ♥

Huff. It's almost invariable that the first of my days off (usually Saturday, but Friday this week, or whenever) sleeping most of the day. Not that it's a problem, but then I feel like I've wasted the day.

(Yes, today is an official holiday, here. The day of the Cyrillic script. One day I'll even know when other countries using it celebrate that.)

And I have slept. And I even feel like I'm a bit calmer from finishing the second China-centered Guy Gavriel Kay book. Which also broke my heart, in a way that made perfect sense.

Oh well. Time for poking at Grimm! From a year ago, but still.

Anyhow! Reminders!

The new installment of Gods and Monsters came out yesterday! Sign up for e-mail updates!

And Noteworthy Pitches is still ongoing! :)

I just wanted to say a quick thank you to everyone who helped brainstorm and offered ideas for my presentation. And everyone who has just listened to me freak out over it in the past few weeks. You all are amazing!

( cut for whining )

I'd like to do a plot in a different fandom. Bit of a big ask, but you know... I really wish the Temeraire fandom was bigger.

with invol coming to a close soon (and i am actually having problems remembering all the different balls i'm juggling, so if there's something i haven't done interaction or tag-wise that i've talked to you about, PLEASE let me know and i'm really sorry about it!!!!!), apps at tumultus_mods and sailors in the works, and finals in less than a month (contract law can suck my dick, wow), i have all of the things to do. also one day i should get past the first day of the fifteen day rp meme.

soooo clearly, this is cause to add another thing onto the list. have that meme that's going around invol people. request whoever you want, from whatever game!! i feel like i've done a variant of this for characters prior to invol, however.

You may also choose a character of mine and a character of yours and I will tell you what they think of them.

( rpsterbation meme )

ALSO: comment here with any of your Invol characters, and I'll tell you what mine think of them!

Not doing the RPsterbation meme because I deliberately make characters that don't interact with each other and really don't have opinions of each other. However if you want o know what my characters think of you... Go right ahead and request no more than 3!

Fair warning, I'm going to probably get to these tomorrow because my eyes are closing as I type, but:

Give me a character or pair and I'll answer any of these for you.

Please read the F.A.Q. before taking any icons! :D

Okay it's getting like... I need to leave to pick up family now, so briefly...

( Flipped )

Thoughts?

... since my last round actually did seem to go okay, and I've been seeing people talk about wanting a supernatural creatures game.

People should take a look at landvik_academy! Landvik Academy is an institution that fights supernatural crime! It's set in Norway! There are vampires and werewolves and shifters and angels and demons and witches and faeries and sandmen and djinn and awesomeness! There's been a bunch of great plot happening and is planned to happen, aaaaaand let's face it who doesn't want to fight supernatural crime in the wilds of Norway???

Also if you join I am happy to throw plot at your way * - I have an exiled fae warrior prince, tomboyish Scottish werewolf and an obsessive French vampire. And just in case you need more convincing...

Taking a break from apping for two memes!

And, as a follow up, Which of my characters would you most want to be friends with, and why?

BRITTANY ROBERTSON

( “Robin is better than the girl of my dreams. She’s real.” )

Imperial Soldier: Next! Name, please.
Prisoner: Kateo.
Imperial Soldier: Let's see - ah, there you are. "Killer" Kateo, butchered an entire squad of Republic soldier with... a shiv?
Prisoner: That's me.
Imperial Soldier: Someone get this man a blaster! Welcome to the Imperial Army, Kateo. If there's anything else we can get you - maybe something dull and rusty? - just ask!

Some of the random NPC conversations that happen in the background in Star Wars: The Old Republic are glorious.

Ugh. I miss rping. Does anyone have any games to rec? I'm not really into panfandom, but I could do an OC (with a plot, like Manhattan Project or something), or HP. Anyone?

And a meme, stolen from Lisa ( bamfdoll ). Pick a character or pairing - crack or otherwise - and a number 1-13, and I will answer the question and do a three sentence fic.

Which of my characters would you most want to be friends with, and why?

Hi guys! I'm back-ish. Finals went well ... ish. I did worse in one of them than I expected but I got an A in that class! (I HAVE NO IDEA HOW) However, the other class - A and P 2 - that was driving me nuts I have no idea how I did on it or the final yet. So ... yeah. My attention is currently preoccupied with game apps but MOSTLY nursing school apps and that's very kjsdhrfkdjhhrfkdjhcjhdfsnxzizHJdawiKjufrefivhda inducing. So, I'm still kind of slow.

However, everyone who knows me knows how I love my head canons. So we're going to do a meme! (I haven't forgotten the 15days one. I dreamed of it.) I got this one from cilantro and writerchick_99

I suck at plot, so I'm hardly the person to be writing this, but... every story should have a conflict.

Even fluff, yes. Even silly, sappy, sweet fluff should have some kind of a conflict. Because there needs to be something to engage the reader's interest and to draw them into the story. If everything is perfect and simple, there's no reason to continue. Give us flash and fire, even if it's a sweet slow burn.

I've read a lot of stories lately of the sort I might call a travelogue. As in, the characters start at one point, and they travel along a neat, straight line until they get to the end of the story. There are no bumps, there are no stalls, there are no curves in the road. It simply goes day to day until it is done, and there is no sense of resolution because there was no problem set out to start.

These stories can be sweet, yes, but they often leave the reader feeling like they want something more, like there is something missing at the end.

So no matter what you write, ask yourself at the start: Who has the stakes in this story? What is the problem (however minor it might be) and how will it be resolved? What are the hurdles that need to be overcome in the course of resolving this problem?

I was going somewhere with this... I'm sure I was, but I am so overtired that I'm losing it now in my thoughts. So lets open this up to discussion. Ask questions, supply thoughts, brainstorm. If you want to pick at examples, please use either my own work (I offer it all up to you -- please feel free to call me out on times I didn't follow my own advice!) or published work.
