It's not Obsession

Pick one (or two) of my characters and I'll tell you...

→ why I decided to play this character
→ my favorite scene or bit of interaction concerning this character to date
→ my favorite original aspect about this character (world-building for ocs or head-canon for fcs)
→ the last thing they did "off screen"
→ what their last words would be if they died tomorrow
→ what the next thing I'm doing for them is (narrative, post, shelving, whatever)


List [HERE] if you need it. Or, you know, anyone ever.

Ask me about a pairing/moresome I have written and I will give you five facts about them or a ficlet or a song that is CLEARLY THEIR SONG or what they order from the Chinese place down the street, etc. (if you can specify what you'd like to know, that'd be great).

Sometimes you just... have to be done.

Anne Adama. Loved her, loved her storyline, just... no more BSG. That's a wrap-up from her end, more or less.

WHO: [these characters in a certain game I'm in]
WHAT: A dance / Other Things
WHERE: The ballroom / Her cabin
WHEN: Wednesday night
RATING: Should be tame. Actually, their friendship is now just a little bit closer, if you know what I mean and I think you do.


Only because they've been friends for a year and have flirted at least that long and then were dancing and... random!

So, yeah. He doesn't do relationships and she's actually kind of a single gal herself (AHEM - Misha), but it was still a great, great thread.

Clearly, the cat is outta the bag. It's a TREK RP. And yeah... can you guess who sits outside their house for the internet? *DIES* I love this game and the people in it.



FUCK YEAH.

1) Kirk & Angela did body shots in the officer's lounge.
2) Angela got Spock DRUNK.
3) Spock then got Uhura tanked and made out with her against the wall & then on a couch. (DID YOU READ WHAT THEY HAD US DOING...)
4) Angela then sent Spock the awkward apology you saw before. *HEE*

OKAY, just for the record, and once more with feeling. The reason I ♥ my new game?

( THIS SHIT )

I've been RPing a very long time, it seems. Well, when it comes to LJ/IJ RP, anyway.

In January of 2004, I did a search on Livejournal for fans of 'stargate' and came up with a roleplay game. It was a game called the_sgc and the first character I picked up with was Anise and her human host, Freya. The moderator there was a girl who went by the name of panthera.

Now, Panth? Panth was a kick. She was one of the best mods that I've ever had the joy of writing with. She was patient with newbies and when I went to make an original character (that was really supposed to come and go), she let her be a Mary Sue kind of gal and that was it. There was no accusations or rudeness, she just let us all play and it was glorious.

OH, well. I also met ambisis in that game, and it turned out she lived like, ten minutes from me and we've been best friends ever since, but that's another (fantastic) story. ;)

So, I played Anise/Freya (who had twins with Sgt. Walter Davis - those twins will be FIVE in July) and I had my new character, Shannon Weiss. Shannon's gone through some reworking, but she eventually became the sgc_spybarbie that married daniel_sgc and those two had a baby named... hattie_notqueen. :D

I really love my RP's.

--------

I started off in Theatrical Muse in March of 2004 with Helen of Troy and wrote prompts for her for a year before I even thought about jumping into the side business of RP with her.

She became good friends with John Munch (of SVU fame), and eventually married him, much to Hermes chagrin. But before they were married, she and Hermes had a really amazing one-night-stand. Oh, those two. Always snarking at each other, bitching about each other, and really? The closest friends. They do love each other. Not in a way that they'd ever BE together, but it's a love nonetheless.

So, they had this lovely one-night-stand and from that came... antigone_grace, who eventually came into her own in my head.

Helen, after three years of marriage to John, witnessed his death in a drive-by and ended up asking Zeus for her mortality before committing suicide. Hermes took her to Elysian Fields and there she stays.

-------


So, basically, I've had the same characters in my head for years... and years... and years... and though I try to let them go, it's hard. Even now, when Hermes does something outrageous or wacky, Helen is the first to poke her head up with a LOOK.

I've spent years creating elaborate storylines for them and played those storylines out with very skilled writers and I've been so fortunate to have that in my life.

To be honest, I miss that.

I miss the time and the dedication that went into the weeks and months of storylines and not knowing what was going to happen next, exactly. Having a starting point, knowing what points we wanted to cross and getting to some kind of vague ending... thing. Whatever happened in the meantime was awesome.

The closest thing I have going with that is the KITT & HATTIE thing, but that's because we play in journals. Maybe the LC people, at times. Occasionally the SPN people, but yeah. It's all just sitting out there in petty one-offs.

People are so concerned with the concept of godmodding that they don't TRUST their RP partners anymore. I know I can say to certain people, "Okay, take over for me with [my character] and I'll see you tomorrow!" in a party post or something. I know they're not going to do something wildly out of character with mine.

And when writing a scene, how hard is it to say, "Sue smiled. Motioning with her head, she led them to a table and sat first." How dare Sue assume that Ted wanted to sit down?!

I just don't understand why some assumptions can't go into writing if you trust the person you're writing with. If you don't trust them, why are you playing? It's made me skittish around players I don't know very well. I don't want them to jump on me.

That said, I just met an entirely new group of people, an entirely NEW GAME. I don't know them, they don't know me and yet... we all MESH. And I did. I said, "Okay, Lauren, you can move _____ for the rest of the party. Have fun!"

My girl got another drink and made out with her boyfriend on a couch. It was in character (enough) for the game, and the scene. I'd known Lauren all of a week. But I trusted she wasn't going to make my girl the party floozy and have her do a strip tease.


... I just miss that kind of RP. Where epic stuff happens. Example? Antigone's had quite a life. ♥

/rant

ABSOLUTE RECAP of DOOM. Everyone I play is under here with a sentence or two of what they're doing and where. :D KGO!

( UNDER HERE )

First of all, EJ? You have issues. SRSLY. That freckle? Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah. :P

Secondly? ABOUT last night? Talk, talk, talk. More on that in a heavily friended or even private entry because, well. YEAH.

Thirdly? If the [Impossible Quiz] was addicting back when, and it was, then [Pandemic II] is even more so. OMFG. JUST sAYING.

Fourth? Lanibobo goes back to Washington DC today for which I am both glad and sad. Glad because that means that no more sadness keeps her here and sad because, well... no more Guitar Hero. Still, it was nice to see her for a quick visit. Plus, hey! New snowglobe :D

Fifth? I have no fifth. Back to the old grind, right? Right. Later? I'm making fudge brownies.

Will be responding to tags today, promise

Need to catch up the LC peeps

Need to do the SPN stuffs

Maybe something with TNG?

You prompt me for "Five things that [character/pairing/threesome] [would/would not/should/could/did/didn't/etc] do."

Them's that I write in the usual place.

Anne: THIS is why I got tossed in hack? You ass.

Kacey: *applauds* Joseph William Adama! I'm surprised he could talk Hera into it ... I mean, Paya's no problem, but Hera? That takes some skill.

( Crack RP + Late Nights + Two Years Ago... )


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~SO OKAY~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


That was the old post. Now, last week on BSG - ( Cut for Spoilers & MOAR CRACK )

And there ya go. Now we all know why Lee's son Joseph ended up being such a perv.

So, I know I know Meredith is amazing... and I know that YOU all know that Meredith is amazing...

But [LOOK] what she made for hattie_notqueen. Danielle Panabaker did a shoot for GQ and THAT is what Meredith did with it.

GUH.

Every now and again, fanfic writers go back and read their first stories.

Well, if you're an RPer, go back and actually READ when you first started RPing. Seriously. Do it.

Thanks to LJArchive and my darlingest friend panthera, who was the mod of the first game I ever played in, I was able to do just that.

Um, yeah.

So, I'm not saying I'm a fantastic, wonderful, YAYGOME RPer now? But WOW was I horrible. And Panth? Was always nice to me. And even when I created my first OC (whom I still love and cherish and mold to whatever I need - It's Shannon, btw), she was still nice. She was nice when she told me what worked and what didn't, but mostly?

She just played along. Let me play and just... played with. :) Karen was in that game (matsujo9) and that's where I met Lani! :D In January of 2004. At The SGC on LJ.

And then... and THEN there was the Jacket Saga. Which will never not be funny to me.

[in case you get a hankering to read something funny that you may or may not understand]

I loved this game and I MISS this game. ♥

PS: Where did ya'll first play?

The Rated-R Meme. Comment with a character of mine, and I'll give you three random bits of trivia about their sexual practices, preferences, experiences, fantasies, kinks, or something along those lines. Feel free to mention multiple characters or a character multiple times.

Who do I write? Check [RIGHT HERE]! And if you know someone NOT on that list... go for it!

You ever have one of Those Days where... the things you WANT to say are the things you really just shouldn't? You know, because you might regret them later? Or you really just might not.

For girls, it's usually those two days right before your period when your brain --> mouth filter goes away. I don't get my period as much, so I'm just guessing as far as time frame goes, but you get the picture.

Yeah.

For whatever reason, Nick Bryant decided I was going to get NO SLEEP last night. And when I say no sleep? I mean that I was checking the clock every 45 minutes, sometimes less.

This man, for NO REASON I CAN FATHOM, sat in my brain (thank you so much, Teresa, go jump in a lake) and... fuckifIknow, did nothing all night long. And get this! The mun for another character was there (that Lucky chick) only SHE looked just like her PB (since I don't even know what she MIGHT look like) and it was all about his suits and shit.

His. CLOTHES.

I think he wanted to hold meaningful convos with the wife of his that lives in MY head, but HELLO, we were trying to sleep. And by GOD, I have NEVER had that happen to me before. Fake people (THAT DON'T EVEN BELONG TO ME) keeping me awake.

And dammit, HE'S REAL. He's a real person. He was just waaaaaaaaandering around. Lookin' all smart and shit in his suits.

Note to self (and T): No more talking about that man's clothes ever again. And I'm not screencapping anymore shieze. NO MORE. *needs drugs, clearly*


EDITED: THIS. He wanted to know if I liked the [LIGHT GREY SUIT] or the [DARK GREY SUIT] better. ARGH!

Mmmkay, kiddos.

After today, the internet situation at Cher's goes a bit wonky. I'm gonna kinda sorta be taking a half-hearted mini-hiatus from things RP related until probably after NaNo, as that's a big thing for me and I wanna do it again this year.

And I've conned coaxed yet another person into doing it, too. :)

So, if we have a thread GOING, my tags will be slow. I won't be starting any new threads unless it's something we've chatted about first. <3

I'm not sure how well the hacking of internets goes in the woods, so we'll see.

*MWAH*
