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: Cressida Quayle
Plans For Next Year: Ghost hunting & thesis researching. I want her to keep her head down a little more because she was never meant to be a dramatic character but drama is soooo fuuunnn. I'm also hoping we have a Uly in the new year which is VERY EXCITING!!!!!! And maybe the Casey/Cricket Feminist Book Club will finally happen. And maybe Irene will make her a new wand! And maybe she will get some action. I don't know!!! She thinks too much and I think too much about her.
Alternate PB: I was primarily looking for a character with big lips and soft features since Uly was Ansel Elgort at the time. Gonna jump on the 'almost Imogen Poots' train, but I didn't like the coloring of the icon set that seemed most appropriate. Then I settled for awhile on Felicity Jones in Like Crazy AND I'M REALLY GLAD I DIDN'T! (For below reasons)
How would that have changed them?: I thought Cricket was going to be a lot more prim and quiet strength type with a very apparent mask that she took on and off. Which would have been a disaster and she never would have had any REAL conversations with anyone annnnd I probably would have dropped. Holland Roden has such a wonderfully expressive face and a lot of her character is shaped by her inability to hide how she is really feeling, try as she might. I do wish the original icons I found hadn't been all Teen Wolf, because the fear/sarcasm/anger/scolding/thirst emotions of Lydia Martin crept into Cricket more than I had hoped. I think I have icons that suit her a little better now, but in my perfect world Cricket would be Holland's bright emotive face with a British veil and an oversized monogrammed flannel.
