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.

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.
