Role Playing: 3 Months in the Boku no Koe Nittaverse!

[info]boku_no_koe!

We've been talking about RPs here for a while - and now it's here!

We did have a plan to design a long, plot-filled game (including all the Nitta-verse characters) a little later this year. That plan is not discarded. But... we have an idea before we throw ourselves into that deep abyss: we want to play a short, time-limited game.

There are various reasons: first of all, newbies can get a taste of RP-ing to see if it is something they'd like to do. Secondly, the lore-mod is slightly busy this summer and cannot commit to a longer and vastly more time consuming play until later. Snapelike-mod, on the other hand is going to drown in fandom, and would like to play a lot because summer/fandom=OTP.

Solution (lore's brilliant idea): Let's find out what happened after the last page in Boku no Koe!
As Boku has a rather open ending (Nitta didn't plan to continue it?) so there are possibilities for both those who'd like single characters or characters already in a relationship. There's even a lovely, talented girl or two for those who want one.

Not only is there a lack of Boku-related fic and meta... and well, everything. So we think it would be great to focus on those characters for a little, as the two books are manageable when it comes to referring to canon. Also, the character list is rather small, but filled with utterly gorgeous men with glasses. We have yet to write up the final rules and plotting, but we'd like you to think about whether you'd like to use 15th June to 15th September to play.

A few things are certain, though: we'd like mature players with good writing skills, preferably players who have either RPed before (and can show us a few threads) or experienced fic-writers who have written at least a couple of fics of some standard (spelling and plot).

I've added all characters to our Youka Nitta Wiki: LINK

I haven't added any character profiles yet, just added a note about the minor characters. There are approximately fifteen characters, two of which are Iwaki and Katou, since they actually appear in Boku no Koe.

How does that sound, and is there any interest for doing it like this? Let me know, also if you have ideas, wishes, and even might know which character you might prefer. The Snapelike might prefer Yumi but is open to suggestions!

Must be the scanlated version, because I don't own the second volume.
I love the idea of the two couples meeting.

Yup - hence the appearance of the two guys on the Boku canon list. I really love how the characters from one series might show up in another, like with Iwaki and Katou in WMLM...

Yes, I like it too. Lots of fantasy material, mixing all the characters together.
I haven't read WMLM - just the first volume, perhaps. It didn't grab that strongly; I looked a couple of times for scanlations, had little luck, and let it go.

WMLM becomes vastly better. I am currently scanlating the missing two volumes, since it doesn't seem as if the scanlators are going to finish them anytime soon. It is worth a read, good story, great characters and lots of drama and a satisfying conclusion.
