ANNOUNCEMENTS: Dec 29
Last announcements of the year!!!!! :O

If you have not yet already done so, please post to December's Activity Check! (If you've resolved to drop a character, please do us a favour and let us know here or in the Dropbox so we're not awkwardly emailing you later to be like "hey... what's up...")

January's plot calendar will be posted on Saturday, December 31 at 10 AM Mountain Time. (If you need help figuring out when that will be for you, take a look at the green indicator here.) We've learned our lesson from December, so there will be less IC/OOC's, but hopefully characters will be able to devote proper focus to the ones which are coming up. Three words: Parent-Teacher Conferences.

Happy New Year!!! Here's a little meme for everyone to go out on...

Character Name:
Plans For Next Year: Anything you want to do with your character in the new year? Give us a little sneak peek.
Alternate PB: Was there another PB you almost used? Or a PB for a different incarnation of the character? Or if you had to pick another PB for them, who would it be?
How would that have changed them?: PBs have different moods and feelings, and can change a character a lot. How would your alternate PB have changed your character?
GIF: YOU CAN POST TWO GIFS, in case you want to show a side by side of the alternate PB and the canon PB.

Character Name: Quinn Cunningham
Plans For Next Year: Someone needs to like, actually force this girl to CHILL OUT. She's got to understand that you can relax by doing things that don't quadruple your heart rate (or make her reek of pot), and also to take things a little less seriously. Her drive seems to be turned to 11 no matter what she's doing. Otherwise girl's gonna burn out toward a breakdown or something one day, and that ain't gonna be pretty.
Alternate PB: lol Amanda Leighton (as in, Clem's PB!). Quinn and Clem were held at the same time and I didn't see that JJ had held Leighton, so I requested her as well. AND THEN I was looking for icons and I was like "wow I love her *and* she looks like Tatiana Maslany and that's just rad" and then I WAS TOLD SHE WAS ALREADY HELD (oops) so I went to find a new PB and it turned out that Maslany played a teenager in some movie so I got to use her after all??? That was a long and pointless story?????
How would that have changed them?: With Leighton, Quinn was a lot more goody-goody and a lot more ~let's all work together or something.~ Her no-nonsense, super-serious work and Prefect sides were influenced by the Leighton set, as was her ♥ love for athleisure wear. If I'd stuck with Lieghton, Quinn wouldn't be such a hypocritical party animal, wouldn't swear like a sailor, and probably wouldn't turn into an evil bitch monster during Anon posts.

... she'd basically be much better at balancing her emotions/life in general, and wouldn't bottle them all up until she explodes.
GIF: I don't have any Quinn gifs from the show her new icons are from. The gifs don't seem to exist and if I want to be the one to make them I'll have to suck it up and watch one of my most-hated shows. So instead, have a gif from another thing.

I've had an itch to play an adult incarnation of Quinn down the line and look at this icon set I just found they are perfect yaaay

	i told the same story and i think the takeaway is that if i had used my other pb choice, clem and quinn would both be a lot nicer and better-adjusted. oops (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

FUN FACT: when i was looking for a new quinn pb i briefly considered BOTH ellen page and alia shawkat, both of whom ended up being NPC PBs for jesse's sisters and both of whom look similar to young titania (i didn't tell any of this to aleena, she's just psychic like that). it adds a whoooole fun layer to the "jesse is obsessed with quinn" thing. she's definitely been mistaken for one of his sisters while visiting buffalo.

On my honor, this was all actually a complete accident. I did not mean to make Jesse in love with his sisters (though it makes sense now). I wanted a reason for Jesse to be super lactose intolerant, so I stuck in some Sephardic Jewish ancestry and even though Alia Shawkat does not fit that bill she pops up when you google 'Jewish Actresses that look like Miles Teller.' And she was in Whip It with Ellen Page, so they have lots of pictures together and I was like, "THAT'LL DO!"

I also didn't realize how close Hamilton and Buffalo are until much later.
