Hey all!

So, I'm working on some old replies I've owed for quite a while. Sorry about that. And I have a question, are there any threads that we've got going that we should just call bust on? I know with the masquerade going things have been slow on the other threads front, but I've got a few that have been waiting greater than 45 days for a reply and I just want to know if I should take it off my list of active threads or not. No worries either way.

I'm going to try to get all owed replies out by the weekend.

Also, maybe to get myself going again, I'm looking for maybe some HDC threads to get excited about. Anyone game for anything with any of mine in that vein?

Other than that, love to you all and I can't wait to find out who everyone at the masquerade is.

Hey guys! The ball is still going on!!! I'm guilty of being slow myself but there's plenty of time to get your critters in and get them talking to people.

THANK you to everyone who has participated so far. You guys are amazing.

To everyone I'm in a thread with. SORRY OMG. Between some personal things and the holidays I have been AWOL from everything except Twitter and Work. SO I am going to fix that within the next week and go post mad since I have some free time and I'm finally over most of the personal things.

Also I have been note booking a new critter for you all to devour. HINT: She's not a Greek. :D

Happy Holidays from me. Happy new year from me. I LOVE YOU GUYS.

I'm officially back!

Now. I know I have some threads out there that have been sitting. I am open to finishing any one of them, but if you'd rather drop it, I'm okay with that too.

Sorry for it taking me so long to get back to everything. The way that my computer was set up, sitting at it was not comfortable for long periods, and I couldn't have it in my lap because the only way to have it connected to the internet was to have it physically plugged in, which tethered it pretty much close to where it was sitting.

But now I have things sorted to where I can have it sitting on a table or in my lap and be comfy!

Plot is very welcome!

Hi all,

So I'm highly considering a new character. Trouble is, I'm at my character limit, (damn character limits! LOL) which means I would have to drop one, but I don't know who the best would be to let go. So I'm wondering what all of you would think.

Odin, Bes, Isis, and Sif are right out. Those stay for certain. Which leaves:

Hel (who is so new I hate to drop her now, though I have no idea what to do with her)

Ahti (who is finally getting a voice in my head, but is still difficult to play, and there are so few Egyptians right now)

Freyja (who is terribly missing her Daddy and brother in game. She's great fun, but has almost become one-dimensional for me, but she's been there almost since the beginning, and her voice is clear, she just maybe needs new plot points).

Any thoughts? Please be honest. If I have a dead duck, let me know it.

Is up here. Enjoy.

I wanted to let everyone know that I am still alive. I'm trying to get things settled from my move. It's going a lot slower than I had planned it to.

I'm going to try to get back into things as soon as I can.

PS - I have some logs still going, please let me know if you're interested in them at this point, or if you want to drop them.

Thanks to somebody who shall remain nameless PinkPowerRanger our thread count on the first Masquerade post sort of ran over. So to fix what this nameless person PinkPowerRanger did, I moved the last replies posts over into A BRAND NEW POST, starting with Frank the Bunny.

I hope this doesn’t cause too much confusion for people, and the new replies should be moved to the new post and we will continue from there.

On a side note, some people PinkPowerRanger should probably not dip into the punch quite so early in the night. Just sayin’.

ETA: Oh! Also! Remember to use the little push pin to track the new thread just as you did with the other one so you know when somebody replies. Or replies many times. ;)

So the Masquerade started on the first of the month, 11/1/11. And since it’s now 11/11/11, I thought it would be a good time to poke at people. The problem is… I don’t know who anybody is! LOL Since we’re all still anonymous, here’s a list of those who haven’t joined in the fun yet:

Flapper Girl
Pink Power Ranger
Master Chief
Gandalf
Zorro
PedoBear
Tin Man
Can-can Dancer
Frank the Bunny
Herman Munster
Marie Antoinette
Night Stalker
Nun
Police Officer
Six Flags Guy
Army Girl
Belle
Old West Saloon Girl
Shark
Conan
Captain America
Goldie
Peacock

WHERE ARE YOU? WHY AREN’T YOU PLAYING WITH US? Do we smell? It’s Dawn, isn’t it? We know. We know. Just suck it up, plug your noses, and put up with it like the rest of us. COME PLAY! (Seriously, it’s more fun with more people, so get your critters in there!)

Party thread up GO GO GO GO GO OOOOO...

I'm so sorry it took so long. Thankfully I'm awesome and everyone will still love me.

Right?

That’s what I’ve got. Apparently there’s snow headed my way, and they keep bumping up the estimates. It started off at 4” and now they’re saying it could be anywhere from 10-22” where I’m at. The little weather people are all looking just a little too gleeful as they encourage people to go all flaily about snow and possible power outages, if you ask me.

But, since they’re saying we’re getting a lot of heavy wet snow that might bring down tree branches, there is a possibility that I may lose power. So if you don’t see replies from me, it may be because I’m sitting in the dark. (Not that I do a lot of replying on the weekend due to my husband’s ludicrous assumption that I should actually pay attention to him, but just in case, now you know. And knowing is half the battle.)

I didn't forget, just some personal stuff came up. Thank goodness this will be a long thing cause wow I'm totally in a bad spot but I am going to sit down and write that opening thread THIS WEEK OR I WILL DIE.

Can everyone please send good thoughts for my mom though? She's in a rough spot and it's got me all worked up. Ditto for my dad's job situation cause whoa pressure on me being the money maker.

So yes. Thread soon. Replies soon.

I love you guys!

My apologies for the delays. I am behind on everything, and have no legitimate excuse. I have been so busy lately- this is just a busy time of year for me. And I've been getting burned out to the point where I just don't feel like writing. But I'm going to try to get better, I'm off to attempt to do some replies now.

If there is something you really want me to focus on, let me know and I'll get on that first.

Thanks for your patience.

Tereesa- Ahti, Bes, Freyja, Hel, Isis, Odin, Sif

I'm off for my move! Not sure quite when I'll be there or how soon I'll have internet.

So I should be putting up the opening for our Masquerade tonight or early tomorrow. Dealing with my mom being sick right now. But I AM SO EXCITED. Look at all those insane costumes. This is a reminder to watch for that thread as well as DON'T TELL ANYONE WHO YOU ARE.

Those of you who have characters who don't actually know Hebe, don't worry. She knows each and every one of you. She had ways of finding out who you are and personalized those letters just for your characters. So come! Be merry! Ask who the hell Hebe is. She loves when people talk about her. But try not to give yourselves away, okay?

This will be going on for months so for those of us moving, dealing with things, holidays, constipated animals (yeah that's me), or whatever. There is plenty of time and tons of costumes still to choose from (no one has picked a cow :( ) !! Get on it when you can!

HEBE AND I LOVE YOU ALL VERY MUCH. Well she doesn't love everyone. Some of you are weird. BUT I DO!

I think I'm caught up on everything except Zeus to Hera. Am I missing anything anywhere? If I am, poke me here so I can jump on that asap.

Thank you all for being patient with me. ♥

I'm going to try to be a little faster with replies. Working two jobs has me wearing out a bit sooner than usual during the week. That and I was feeling a little down. I'm doing better now. Still not 100%, but better.

And can I just say OMG so excited for this masquerade!!!

Dearest DDCers! I am here to announce a game-wide plot event. Not just any EVENT. THE EVENT. Since picking up Hebe I've been trying to work in a big party. A huge one. She loves parties, we love parties, I love parties. And I've finally got an amazing idea for one. SO. This is not one of those heeeey party sudden boss fight event. No this is going to be a COSTUME party! A MASQUERADE party. The trick? None of us are going to know who is who. Not me. Not our mods. Not each other. It's a dance! It's a social event! It's an excuse to drink free booze! Whatever your characters need to be convinced of to come convince them. Hebe throws some awesome parties. Music! Dancing! Booze! Food! Read on!

( GOOD STUFF COMING THROUGH )

HELLOOOOOOO I LOVE YOU. AWAKEN.

I'm getting ready for a big cross country move in about 17 days, so I'm going to be really slow for the most part. I'm going to try to take time here and there that I can whip out logs quickly, but if you don't see me for a couple of days, you'll know why.

So it seems like we're all straggling back in from our various cons and trips and now is a good time to do a little plotting!

WHO NEEDS SOME?

ETA: This is also a post to touch base on the plots you CURRENTLY have going. With so many of us out on vacation, the problems with the weather, and various other RL related things, some of our threads have been sitting for a bit. If you are waiting for a reply and haven't heard from your writing partners, consider this an open invitation to poke at them and let them know you are still interested and want to get back to writing. Poke politely... some of us are tired, sick and a wee bit cranky, but I think we all want the same thing. We all want to write and have a good time with our critters. So let's get back to that!

I was flipping back through the Styx tags and re-read the Styx/Enyo thread from a while ago.

Can I just say this....

Together, Styx / Enyo are about the hottest vicious bitches ever.


It's a wonder Moscow stayed snowy at all, in that thread.

(Which is another way of saying, "Thank you, Dawny!")
