So so, Shikster!

I like how Shuri is pretty much everywhere and how you've managed to develop him from an asshole to a slightly more caring asshole! Though I'm somewhat disappointed you haven't followed canon and made him gay for Teito like everyone else is!!

Aaaaas for Shizzy, I haven't seen him around as much, but I think you've got a good handle on his voice! Also Shizderella was the best thing so.

I am so, so pleased that you followed in with my suggestion and went for Harth. Really, despite how slow I've been in collaborating headcanon, know that I am super excited to have gotten a proper castmate for her; going into apping Melaka I was not expecting that at all, and I can only say that my hope is for them to have more distinct conversations and impact on each other as time goes on

D'aw... Thanks Zero, this means a lot.

And... yeah, I've noticed that myself. There's a lot I have planned for the both of them, but they often get put on the backburner for whenever something comes up with Shizuo or Shuri. This weekend I've got an Al post ready to go and one for Jubes after apps are done.

I would say that with things as they are, Jacob gets out even less than they do. I'm going to give myself until December to see if I can balance everyone and revive some less than alive muses. But I can say with relative certainty that Al's not going anywhere.

Another thing I'd stress is tagging around. With Al and Jubilee, I mean. I see them a little, but not nearly as often as I do Shuri or Shizuo - which is fine, everyone has their priorities! - but when you do nothing you get caught in a vicious cycle of inactivity and such. I've been there before and I imagine you have too (Hanyuu towards the tail end of her runs comes to mind)

But I didn't mention Jacob because I know you've been specifically thinking about him for a while. Do you want me to try to come up with some tips/suggestions I think might help to make him more active, or are you just going to count on the Breaking Dawn movie and see what happens (IE: it's more a voice thing)?

[truthhides]

are you trying to tempt me with a sexy icon.

Ah, but, yeah... I know what you mean and I am definitely working on that. There are a lot of times when I'm busy and I make a mental note to log in and tag and the I just... do something else and forget all about it. Which I've been counteracting by logging in immediately and tagging it.

Well, with Jake... Mmm. I'm on the fence right now about him. I may drop him to give myself a break, then take the time to canon review and adjust with the rest of my guys. It's purely a motivation and general burnout thing and I think once he's gone I'll miss him too much to drop him permanently.

[saltprince]

Ahkay, so I won't focus on Jake-

You could do what I do about tagging though. Make a physical note as well as I mental one. I actually start the (internet) day by bookmarking all of the posts I might at all be interested in tagging on my flist, and then tag them through that. Update the bookmarks through the day - delete as I tag them or conclude I can't, add more as new posts come. I dunno if it would work for you but it works for me.

Also am I?

[mallbabe]

Actually! Since I'm working now and I can't get on AIM and plurk will probably be even scarcer, I've taken to skimming my F-List and writing down in my notepad what I need/want to tag and that's been helping me immensely.

i'm onto you...
