So you've seen my pimp post for The Enigma. I am happy to say that the casting is going along quite nicely, with a number of friends taking on charries. It's such an exciting time, when all the characters are being developed and there are endless possibilities of plot stretching out as far as the eye can contemplate. Not that the actual playing isn't fun, too, of course!

Anyway, I've taken on Pansy Parkinson and Molly Weasley at The Enigma. Pansy just won't shut up in my head. This will be the sixth incarnation of her. Some I've liked and some I haven't.

The The Leaky Pansy turned out to be every gay wizard's buddy. She collected them like charms on a bracelet and was she fun to play! That's also where I first met millieweasley, which led to other fun later on! And Pansy led to Susan, whom I also enjoyed playing.

The Blood and Roses Pansy was darker. She was a former DE and broke poor Draco's heart. Then she descended into pathetic, and I so wish I hadn't gone down that path because I truly disliked her at the end.

My Beyond the Dark Pansy has been my favorite so far. She ended up having a heart of gold. Took up with Gilderoy Lockhart, had a child by him, lost him to the DEs, took up with Harry Potter, and when the game ended, she had every intention of marrying him. And she led to Morag Macdougal Dolohov and Parvati Patil and Emma Dobbs, whom I also enjoyed playing a great deal.

The Pansy at the Resistance game was just plain scary. She saw herself as a protege of Bella Black. We had trouble getting players at that game, and it didn't run long.

My The Third Event Pansy never really got going well. She hadn't played much before the game restarted, and when they began again, I had to give her up due to problems with the time commitment. Yet another reason to dislike working for a living!

The Pansy at The Enigma is shaping up to be more like I intended the Beyond the Dark Pansy to be when we started. More snobby and impressed with her own importance. More into bloodlines and that stuff. But if I've learned anything, it's that Pansy is going to be and do whatever the hell Pansy wants to. I'm just along for the ride.

I do need to say a thank you to inell. She was the first to suggest I play Pansy. Before that, I'd barely thought of the character. She'd never been in a fic I wrote, and I'd never played in an HP game before. But I've enjoyed the time I've spent with Pansy, and she feels she still has things to do and say so I'm grateful for the nudge.

I've also taken on Molly Weasley at The Enigma. Originally, I was thinking it would give the Weasley characters some opps to play and that she wouldn't play that much. Just when her children visited or owled. But she's been fun to create, and she's turned out quite meddlesome. She may just end up playing more than I'd expected. I'm going to apologize in advance to all the people who play Weasley children. Mama Molly has plans for your futures!

Anyway, I don't know how into rping you are, dear readers, but if you want a grand time, you might try it.
