I wouldn't worry too much about it--the comm is actually more active than I thought it was. I was sure that that post was still on the front page, but it was actually a few pages back. And it was mostly an introductory post, so you must have just skimmed it over when it showed up on your FL.
Were you thinking of a simple LJ-based community rp without character journals (and we can just use our regular accounts to post) or using a whole other site altogether? (My sister, who plays a bunch of rps, uses avidgamers a lot) I think I'd prefer an LJ comm myself, but that's just because I think learning how to use another site would be a pain. XD Plus, I could part-time as a co-mod if you need the help. I work full-time, so I'm not online as much as you or other students, but I'm sure I can help out here and there. ^^
My brain was so fried I wouldn't have been able to write anything, anyway. ^^; Actually, being able to talk to other fans made me feel a little better and helped me spark my creative spirit even though it was seriously sapped. My writer's block was more due to job-related issues (apparently, the supervisor of another department seems to think she's my boss and yells at me at every opportunity even though my real boss totally loves me and has nightmares about me quitting on her, and I have to manage one of the most dense people I've ever known: "Which pallet should I work on?" "The one that just came in." "Which one?" "The blue one." "Which one?" "THE ONE COVERED IN BLUE WRAP." "Which one?" DX *finally just walks her over to the only blue pallet on the floor*). My work week is finally over, though, so I have two days off. :D I'm going to stay up until I finish writing the next fic (or so I think?).
Strangely enough, I thought about it all day at work, but I don't have any ideas for this rp. ^^; All I can contribute ATM is the notion that we should make the plot easily accessible by all the canon characters, so it should take place in New York after the Flying Pussyfoot arrives. Actually, since I'm pretty sure that the 1931 and 1932 arcs happen near simultaneously, maybe it would be best to just pick up where the anime left off(/began *LOL EPISODE ONE*)? Chane is picked up by Jacuzzi's crew in the river, Czeslaw is on the verge of officially becoming Ennis' adopted little brother, and the Runorata's attempting to recover Dallas&co and figure out the secret to immortality before Claire hunts them all down, etc. (The only one having entry problems would be Ladd, but we could have him break out of jail after his arm mostly heals.)
At least I don't fail quite so much. ^^' (maybe that was another day where I was just spectacularly full of fail ... hmmm ... ) I prefer the lj comm, ya. And that way people could either get a new lj (I'll have one for doing the other game anyway) or use their own as long as they use the right icons.
*rofl* Sorry sorry, I know it must be such a pain dealing with that stuff at work, but it's quite funny. X3 I know people who can be like that ... very intelligent people actually, but sometimes they do not see what is directly infront of them. Anyway, ya, I'm glad things are looking up and that you are over your writers block.
Plot can be the biggest failing or the biggest draw for a game, that's what has me worried. And you're right, it has to be something with not only time but also content that would pertain to everyone. It's easy enough to figure out something for the immortals (since you never know when someone with a bit too much evil in them will figure out that they are out there) but what about for Jacuzzi's gang and Claire and Chane and people like that? (doubt anyone would play Eve, but her too just in case) (and Ladd though I think you hit the nail on the head as they say for him just kinda breaking out of jail and showing up ... 'Hey guys, wha'd I miss?') Though we could always ask people for plot input I suppose ...
LOL I FINALLY POSTED THE FIC. TWO ENTIRE DAYS LATER THAN I PLANNED. XD *falls over in epic fail*
Yay, everything seems to be getting started already! Even though I was confining myself in a cold dark room with nothing but a pen and a notebook until I filled in a bunch of blank pages and ended up contributing next to nothing. I'm so excited! It's going to be so much fun, and I'll probably get tonnes of ideas and ficbunnies from the hilarity to ensue. XD
You did? Yaaay~! *saves it to read while on vacation*
Yush, dragon-san is very quick at this kind of work. And you contribute lots to this project. Mainly; yourself! If people know you're working on it and playing in it and they know your high quality fics (you know they are, they rule) then they'll know that this game will at least be interesting to read if not to play. Tada! (and yay for spawning ficbunnies!!!!)
lol--just my presence is enough? XD I hope I can live up to expectations, since I'm not all that experienced with rps. I'm so used to writing all the characters at once that I'm going to have to watch myself to prevent godmodding. I may accidentally overstep my boundaries if I'm super tired or something. O-o
Also, I guess I am the shadow queen of the rp, since it was I who unleashed you upon dragon_gypsy, after all. XD LOL YOU ARE ALL MY PAWNS
Yep. Your presence ... and your input on modly things. X3 B/c it's always good to have a couple people pondering the big decisions before they get put up. And I wouldn't worry too much, people get the hang of rp format really fast (surprisingly so) and any slipups w/ powerplaying/godmoding, well, it's not like anyone's gonna actually be angry with you. Just probably say 'mmm, no'.
I couldn't get online the last couple of days because my aunt changed the wifi password and didn't tell me. DX I was all, "WTF, WHY CAN'T I CONNECT?" *repeatedly reboots router to no avail*
Not that I would have been able to post anything anyway. My brain is so fried. Work sucks (customers are assholes and throw clothes all over the dirty floors DX. I even skipped my lunch break today and I still couldn't keep up with the idiocy. DX) and I get no rest at home because my aunt and uncle are throwing non-stop Christmas parties. I just got home from my seventh day in a row and I still have three more to endure before I catch a plane to my hometown. Hopefully my parents will appreciate how much trouble I'm going through to come home for Christmas, because it's not going to happen again if they give me any grief. :/ I'm pretty much the worst daughter ever and could go years (perhaps even decades) without seeing them, but I love my little brother and sister enough to put up with my parents for five days.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say with this little rant is that I'll definitely be more active online in a couple days. XD Sorry about not being able to help with the rp lately, but this storm shall pass. It will pass. It will pass. *keeps chanting it repeatedly* But you guys seem to be doing fine without me. I don't even know if I would have been able to help at all with the community creation or whatever else needs to be done. (Though I could offer myself as a tiebreaker vote if you two can't choose from multiple apps for a single character, or something)
I'm probably being too paranoid about godmodding (I always get this way when I start new things), so I've decided not to let myself worry about it. I never slipped up in that Fruits Basket rp, so I should just let myself relax. Though it's a little hard to do, what with so much being on my plate and all. x_x
I was a little confused by the explanation on the community, though. Is it okay if I use my personal journal (er, it's more like a fandom journal than a personal one. O-o) to roleplay Ennis, or should I create a character journal? I'll be needing one for Landels anyway, if I get accepted there, so maybe I should just make one for both?
Aww, I'm sorry your connection has been so bad and that work is being awful (man, I'd flip out if customers did that to me X/ ). Wow, sounds like you're really going through a lot! I'm sure at least your siblings will greatly appreciate it.
I figured that you were busy, but when/if you do get some time we'd love to get your help going through the apps. They're very fun to read and we already have a few that we'll have to pick between (aah, I hate having to tell someone no *fretfret*). I also wanted to give you the login info for the mod journal (I could do that via aim, and it would probably be good for all three of us to chat via aim at least once, so for your future reference you can find me on there as adakiewolf) and your own icon for it. Just pick a non-main/not that likely to be played character and I'll make you a cute icon! ^^ I picked Rail for mine and dragon_gypsy picked Carol.
Aah, the journals. It's fine to use personal ones and it's also good to make a separate rp one. What's important is the icons you use. I'm using the lj I will be using at Landels (well, Briar now, but still ... ) for this game since it's convenient.
I downloaded AIM but it got all weird and kept minimizing and closing the text window on me and now it logged me off and I can't log back in. O-o ...I think I'm going to try to figure that out tomorrow. It's only 9:30, but I'm so sleepy...
I signed up as nintendofifteen, but I might have to make a different account if I can't get it to work.
You can send me the info through a LJ message or through my email, nin_tendo15athotmail.com. As for the icon... I think I need to go with Riza Laforet. XD (She seems like a total spaz and I love her so. XD)
