Let's play a game, comm.
Wow, ME comm! It's been so long since I've been on Livejournal that I kind of forgot you guys existed. Pardon me while I brush the dust off my little soapbox.
I promise I'm not soapboxing today. Today we're going to play a GAME.
Okay, so hands up if you have too many OCs running around your brain. Hands up if they keep trying to meet each other at inappropriate times and have conversations. YOU ALL MAY LEAVE NOW. This game will not improve your situation or your sanity.
Some of you might have played this game before. Here are the rules:
1. Make a list of 15 characters who are, in your humble opinion, super rad. Number the list and keep it to yourself. The game tends to work best if you don't put them in any particular order-- if you want to gush about your OCs, they're game too. Put a comment up saying you've got a list!
2. Go find someone else who's commented saying they've got a list. This is where you get to have fun! You don't know what characters they've picked, but you do know you've got 15 of them-- so start asking questions. Some questions I've asked other people in games included:
3. When someone comments with a set of questions, post your list of characters and answer them! Your answers can be anything from 'Garrus, duh' to an entire drabble; it's your game, man. Don't feel obligated to write a certain amount!
4. WASH, RINSE AND REPEAT UNTIL YOU CANNOT MOVE FROM YOUR CHAIR/BED/WHATNOT. If you want to have another go, add some new characters to your list or shuffle up your current one, and comment again! For every comment you post saying you've got a list, you have to make 15 questions for someone else. That way nobody gets left out!
Have fun, guys! I'll post questions for the first person who wants them.

- "9 and 12 adopt a puppy/animal vaguely equivalent to a puppy! Why did they do it? How does this play out?"
- "1, 13 and 7 are trapped in a horror movie! Who's the peppy and tomboyish protagonist? What sort of hellspawn are they fighting off? Do any of them actually survive?"
- "SURPRISE STEAMPUNK AU WITH 2, 10 AND 15. Tell me about everyone's lives! Who's an amazing pickpocket? Who lives in a grand estate away from all the rabble of the common folk? Who stays holed up in a tiny apartment and only talks to robots?"
- "What's 5's favourite dessert?"
