Of Muses and Return of the King
I'm really amused by theatrical_muse. And I still have one slot left; I can play a third character if I can come up with anybody. Sydney Bristow is tempting, but someone's going to come along who wants her more than I do. Mostly I'm just bored. (And I don't want to end up in the position I'm at in the Star Wars game I sometimes play and more often ignore, where most of my characters interact all too much with each other; I play the mothers and the daughters too often.)
Something will hit me eventually, I'm sure.
I'm also tempted to go for my own slice of "WTF?" fandom (as in, someone nobody's ever heard of before) and sign up dear old Marilyn Stark (see semi-defunct fanlisting- and I really will write that stuff someday...not that anyone else cares.) Because from the writing angle, Stark is cool, she's fun to play with- yeah, she's psychotic, too, but who cares, right? And yet, I don't know- there are so many lonely little pups out there, nobody else from their world to talk to, and I don't know.
I can do the writing stuff for anyone I want, any time, without signing up, of course, but the interactivity of it is interesting- and it's been a hell of a lot more fun than I thought it would be.
(Case in point. James Bond is hitting on my Irina. I knew he would; she's female, she's breathing. 'Nuff said. I'm having a hell of a good time, but Irina Derevko does not screw the likes of James Bond. Although if he thinks she might... Excuse me a second. Irina is plotting in the back of my head right now; she thinks Bond could have his uses. I think he'd be more useful if he learned some humility. But it's James Bond. Whatcha gonna do, you know?)
I'm going to see Return of the King later today. Cannot wait. The previews & trailers I've seen look very very cool, and everybody seems to have good things to say about it. Though I haven't really been reading the RotK stuff too carefully yet- I know the basic story, of course, but I don't want to be too spoiled on the details. I'd rather see it for myself.
So. Opening weekend for the movie, last Saturday before Christmas, and the movie theater is at the mall. This should be lots of fun. Or a nightmare. I think the movie's going to be worth it, though. And then I'll come home and read what all the rest of you had to say about it.
