Hey all! Yeah, so I fail epically with the timely introductions, but here it is at last. I'm Suzanne (Zanne is totally cool, too) and I happen to be Mod #2 to this lovely game. My job has been slowly sucking out my soul, which is why I've been nonexistent up until this point, but I'm here now!
About MeI'm 21 and living on the east coast (North Carolina to be exact), wasting my time working full time at a grocery store until I can get back into school. I've been rping for about nine years, but nothing too serious until about four years ago. During my first and longest rpgs (lasting a year), I was the unofficial mod and for most of the games I've been in (numbering around 30 with some lasting as little as half a day), I've been close with the mods. I've always looked for specific things in my games and Fruitful is the way it is because of those desires. I've never enjoyed the games where everyone is a faceless blob and you find the one character to bond with and everyone else is ignored. I've always wanted a community game where the players all interact and genuinely like each other without drama queens.
I do not tolerate negative player drama. Rpgs aren't a way for me to vent frustration or to just have something to do. I play because I'm trying to improve myself as a writer and I have a passion for writing.
Mod WiseMhia and I met in October of 2008 at an arranged marriage HP game where our characters were paired up. From the moment our characters began interacting, Mhia and I just clicked and we've been together ever since. In November, she linked me to this AMAZING game that she was nearly finished creating, called Fruitful. Since the game we were in was swiftly coming to a painful death, I asked if she would be playing an original character somewhat like her HP character, whom I loved to distraction. She answered in the affirmative and before I knew it, I was getting the game password as the co-mod. Key and Dae are the result of pre-game giggling and plotting, but I want to assure everyone that we didn't create them out of nothing. We didn't create the characters just so we could plot with each other or anything like that. We had two characters already sitting on the shelf who had already been paired with each other in another universe. Key and Dae are far from perfect and they aren't a mushy couple. Mhia and I are playing them where Fruitful 1.0 left off and believe me when I say that they have issues to work out.
As a mod, I'll be updating the game pages (excluding the pb page, as I'm fairly hopeless with graphics) like the friend add and the housing list. I enjoy doing the grunt work of a game, while Mhia is the one who makes everything pretty. Fruitful is about 95% her vision, with me along for the ride. We happen to agree on about 99.9% of everything that goes on at Fruitful, as we have the exact same game philosophy. We're aiming for quality and not quantity in the players who are accepted into Fruitful. At the old version, we were focused on getting the numbers up, which eventually led to the downfall when we realized we didn't even LIKE the characters who we were accepting. We're hoping that if we only accept characters who have a talent at writing and who we actually like, we'll be able to create the close knit community. If the players we accept are our kind of people, then chances are, they'll be the kind of people the other players would want to get to know, as well.
Player WiseAs a player, I type too much, as you can already tell. I'm an extremely detailed oriented person and I aim toward reflection, much more than dialogue. No, I won't list every single thing my character is having for breakfast, but you can bet money on the fact that you'll know exactly how they're feeling during any given situation. My characters are all driven by their family situation and I try to make them as unique as possible. I only have three of my babies in the game now but, over the course of the next few weeks, my other two will be making an appearance. (Mhia wants me to wait until we have more players so I don't bombard the game with just my kids. Sigh.)
