All good things...

Hi guys,

So, I guess we all knew that this was coming. Ever since the end of last year, none of us have had a great deal of time, and it's been tough to keep the game going. For my part in that, I apologise.

Without meaning to make excuses, it's just... RL, you know? New job, new hours, it doesn't leave much time for writing. Shelley's moved to a whole new town, and Veronica's getting ready for the most important exams she'll take in her life, so yeah. Absent mods, but absent for a reason.

It seems a shame to just let the game wither away, given all of the good times it's given us over the years. I don't think I'll ever forget staying up all night with you guys on Skype, getting outrageously drunk while still managing to post. Or having stupid conversations about phallic objects when I'm supposed to be working, or secretly sneaking off for an external "meeting", when really, I just went to flesh out the last part of a one-shot I really wanted to post.

Or that great little rush I've had so many times when there are loads of us in chat, I have about 50 threads going on, and everyone's tagging. That was what it was all about, for me.

And you know what? I'm really, really going to miss the game. It had its extreme highs and low lows, but overall, it's the best thing that I've ever created, and you guys are some of the best people I've ever met. I'll always be grateful that you took this silly idea about witches we all had one summer a few years ago, and took it way beyond anything we could have ever imagined.

So, as of now, Bound Secrets is officially on indefinite hiatus. It'll be open for everyone to post if they'd like to, but we won't be actively moderating or accepting any new apps/characters.

There's a chance that we might re-open it in the future if there's enough interest, or if our personal lives stabilise enough to allow it. If you want this, let us know.

Hopefully we can all stay in touch, and if you guys are ever in any cool games, look me up. I can do a great sort-of-not-quite active character occasionally. I'm on Skype under thisisrundle.

So, from the very bottom of all of our hearts, thank you for everything. We love you all.

Look out for an extra-special one-shot coming in the next few days.

James, Veronica and Shelley.

Hey everyone, it's Silvi here with a brand new kitten.

This is Apollo Malka. He is a Hollywood actor who is looking to make Crescent Cove his home. Also, he is a shape-shifter of the 'leonine' variety...aka he turns into a lion. He is good looking, kind, charming, and good looking. ;)

I'm sure that he will have the occasional paparazzo lurking about but he is used to it.

He will be roaming about, soon!

So, with this post I'm officially off of hiatus after a forever and ready to play!

Just a refresher because I know how players come and go, I'm Addye and I at the moment will have two active characters in the game. First is Induma Belfort, who is a witch and secondly I have [info]bound_anka Anka Janusz who is the paladin of War.

Give me all the line, I've legit got nothing going at the moment!

Hey, all....I'm really looking for some lines for Alexis here. I would be glad to explore just about anything! Friends, lovers, ex-lovers, ex-friends, bosses, enemies, fellow witches, you name it! Haven't been able to generate much yet.

Thanks!

Ok, I am SOOOOOO sorry for the unannounced hiatus on my part--been busy with work and getting ready to do all the things I need to do before I have the baby (btw, it's a boy if you haven't seen any of the pics on my FB and he's gonna be called Alex--middle name still pending) and whatnot.

So, I will probably be poking my head on the chatroom every now and again, so don't think I've abandoned you all!

Character(s) affected:

-Zoe Crisanti-Mayfair
-Katie Irvine

Hey, all,

I entered into a scene with Mel and her character Alexis right before Christmas, unfortunately, she is suffering from severe back issues and between those and the medications she's on to ease her pain, writing is difficult. I'm going to play timey wimey with Kelo and open him up for play in another scene which I'll set prior to his meeting with Alexis, I hope this is ok.

Hey everyone!

I apologize for my absence (an unannounced one, at that), but I am back and ready to get back into the game tonight! I took a mini-hiatus as soon as work got out for the holiday break, and as it's starting back, so am I - sorry for the slip-out, but it was best due to family obligations and because of certain health reasons (not my own) that my time in Florida was spent solely focusing on those around me there. But, now that I'm back home - I'm yours again!

Shelley, Silvi, and James - keep an eye out for tonight. Thanks for everything :)

New Player...

Aloha!

I'm JD, and I'm bringing in my first Bound muse, a witch named Alekanekelo Hekili Kapule aka Kelo, his pb is Jason Momoa/Stargate era. Kelo was born in Hawaii and was raised with a blend of Hawaiian/Polynesian belief systems by his Maternal Grandmother who was his primary caregiver until her death. It's more complicated then that, but, why spoil the fun of you learning who and what he is in game.

Kelo's been on his own since he was 14, and in and out of trouble with the law as well, mostly due to petty crimes and minor drug offenses. He'll hold odd jobs, but, otherwise makes jewelry to get by. He'll be a new arrival with my first post, so will be looking for connections for crash pads and everything else...hint hint. You can reach me here or at AzizalSaqr on aim, I'm looking forward to getting started.

This holiday, give your character the gift of getting royally f*cked over...via toast.


[info]bound_mimi
[info]bound_ooc
(This should probably be in the Wanted, but since it's not exactly about creating a new character...)



Anybody here want to lose a friend--and then forget about it?

Specifically, is anybody here interested in their character losing a pal (or GF, or BF, or BFF, or frenemy, or high school study buddy, etc) sometime back in the 90's, and then being forced to forget the details due to some witchy intervention*?

Come on, don't you think your character's teen years could be a little worse?


*In this case, of the delicious, and morally flexible, Marchpane sort.

holiday meme!!!!

the Mistletoe Meme


  1. post a comment with your character's name in the subject

  2. for whatever reason they find themselves under the mistletoe with whichever character that replies to your comment

  3. the mistletoe has superpowers so no one can leave until a kiss (can be forehead, cheek, or hand instead) is done

  4. react accordingly



  • alternatively you can request a drabble of the situation instead of threading it out! just be sure to specify

  • what happens in the ooc comm stays in the ooc comm, nothing here is bound canon unless all involved parties agree on it

  • have fun!

    Hey, all! Mel here, with my FIRST evah Bound character! Say hi to Alexis Ballard, ex-wife to Benjamin Kohler and mother to his son, Jacob. Lexi is a non-practicing greenwitch, who swore off the magickal arts to protect her son from hunters....or did she, completely? Anyway, Lexi needs friends, acquaintances, bothersome neighbors, witches she can offend, and so on. She's tough as nails on the inside, but nice enough on the outside. She runs a travel agency, haunts bookstores, and drinks weird herbal teas like other people down coffee. I'm up for any and all storylines you can toss my way!

    Hey guys it’s manda, and I bring you – HOLLY NIGHTINGALE! Terrifying. She’s pure evil. Ok, maybe not pure evil, but under the “right” influence, she could possibly sway towards the deeper, darker side of witchery, which is kind of what I had in mind. I would love for her to have a close friend – maybe even a friend with benefits? An enemy is also a must; and perhaps someone older and wiser, who can help develop her strengths. I’m thinking Belge, Christderp.

    Anyway, totalllly interested in lines! I have a few ideas, so hit me up.

    Hello everyone! It's Britney here, I have finally managed to escape! I haven't been around in a while and I'm looking for new (and updated) lines!

    My current characters include;

    Indiana Monroe; werewolf
    Jacobi O'Sullin; Witch
    Alexei Romanov; vampire


    I do have other characters and am planning on bringing in some new ones! :)

    I am looking for someone to play Jake's little sister, a 'boyfriend' for Indie, and a person from Alexei's past in Russia.

    Hi everyone.

    So...I'm Jay, for those who don't know me already. Life got really busy for me due to finals, but now that's all over. I see some stuff has changed, so I kinda need to get back into the swing of things.

    I'll very likely be dropping some characters, but I haven't fully figured it all out. The ones that are definitely staying and need no deliberation are Angela [info]bound_angela (shifter) and Kori [info]bound_kori (witch).

    Yeah. Just wanted to poke my head in and say hello.
