Still working on the last one! It is surprisingly difficult, particularly when everybody else's trivia bits are so good. BUT, to help gear myself for pseudo-NaNoWriMo and regular non-RP writing, and also because I just spent three unpaid overtime hours at the office and require entertainment, have this meme! I guarantee I will not get to all of them, or even most of them, for at least a week, but I will try and pop one or two out a day. :>

Comment here with a pairing of your choice, if you want it to be past/present/future and a song/colour/line of poetry or even just a scenario you want to read. And I'll do my best to reply. You might get 2 lines or you might get a paragraph but I'm determined to respond to everyone :D

Fact: I am obsessed with drabble memes/fic memes, but I always go way overboard and write like 1500 words. Hopefully I can keep these ones contained! Past/present/future, whatever -- just please make sure they actually interact on the regular, or that we've discussed how they have interacted/would interact. These ones get tricky when pairings are too left field.

THIS WHOLE THING WAS SO GREAT. ilu guys :]]]]]

Give me one of your characters and one of my characters and I'll tell you exactly what they think of them -- what they like, what annoys them, what they wish they could change, and what they expect to happen in the future.

Lol 46 comments of retarded pseudo-intellectual flirting. YES.

Name me one of my characters, and I'll tell you the inspiration(s) behind their initial conception, whether they be real-life people or fictional characters.

WHATEVER IT'S JUST A FILING DAY. I'm almost positive I've answered this in some form or another for...some character or another at one point. BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER.

Edit: This reminds me I never finished that baby/10-years-later meme from June. I can't do them now, but I promise I'll get back to them when I have internet again. :>

1. I am finally starting to tinker forward with Zara's random-and-inexplicable-power-surges plot. Which basically means that Crossover will be getting a series of calls in the vein of, "Hi, I woke up in Lisbon, help?" and "I just turned half of Times Square into pigeons. ...Actually, I don't think anybody noticed."
2. Rose Krane (re_buttle) is adorable and I want to keep her.
3. Still hammering through apps! I usually get a paragraph-bullet-thing or two done a night before I pass out, so they're coming along steadily. Sorry it's taking so long. :/
4. Once those are done, may or may not hold Rose Walker, because I've been reading Sandman again and ughhh idc I love her.


In other news, I managed to twist my ankle walking today. Not even running or turning, just taking one step and then another. I'm awesome. Hopefully I just rolled it painfully, which happens more often than I'd like to say. Blah blah I have the same disease as Benjamin Button.

edit: HEY RAE AND ALICE YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT APPING ROGER AND KATE AGAIN AT XOVER, I AM JUST SAYING.

edit edit:
hello_from_dis: i think these things out, natch
hello_from_dis: you should shrink me down and put me on your shoulder so i can tell you what to say
chthonian: oh my god i would love that
chthonian: like a tiny little helpful demon whispering into my ear
hello_from_dis: ....why am i a demon
hello_from_dis: i'm not advising you to KILL him
chthonian: because you are so not a shoulder angel
hello_from_dis: ...diaf

I LOVE THE BATFAMILY

Arrowfamily, time to kick it up a notch.

Also, ugh, I have to go out of town again tonight, as promised, so I will see you guys later. ♥♥

EDIT EDIT LOOOL: OH GOD DO IT. THEY WILL PROBABLY ALL BE AWFUL.
Name one of my characters and one of yours, and I will give you the title and subtitle (and possibly an excerpt) of the romance novel that tells the tale of their passion.

GOALS FOR THIS WEEK:
1. Finish my fucking Crossover apps. I poked around at them (notably, Elinor, before I passed out) this past week, but they're nowhere near done. Well, Elinor is once I finish her history bullets, but other than that, lol no. I really need to do them, omfg.
2. Moar notes on Ivy for Breed!
3. Reiter/Hana pre-emptive lulz. A hired killer who will burn down a house but hesitate to ruin a Christmas tree? Yes please.
4. Not RP at work. No, seriously, I am so behind. I can poke around periodically, but I have got to stop spending hours idly refreshing pages because I do not want to cold call people.
5. Hit up Yes Week posts with appropriate requests/responses; you guys will be getting belated comments, as trying to write everything Emma says as a come-on is REALLY HARD.
6. Figure out which lie Emma is going to tell Val.
7. XOVER: Respond to old comments: Jacob/Margot, Anne/Tom. Hit up Georgia's post (Anne, Zara, Jacob, Carrie?). Post: ...idk who.


In other news, I started reading The Left Hand of Darkness to follow along with the NYT Book Club -- and because it's just One Of Those Books you're supposed to read at some point in your life -- and I'm having a really difficult time getting into it. To be fair, I'm only about 20 pages in, but usually by 20 pages I have a vague feel for authorial voice and tone and pacing, and I can figure if I'm going to stick with that book or not. But it's just kind of...trundling along, and I'm having difficulty keeping track of who's who, what's what, where the hell they even are. I looooved Le Guin's introduction to the novel, but the novel itself just seems lacking to me. Have any of you read it? Should I keep going or just chuck it and move onto the next?

Maybe I'm just not in the mood for science fiction. Or novels! I've been reading so many novellas and anthologies lately that getting back into a novel is like eating those crazy chips that are like blue and purple and green. I just don't know how to go about it. But I just dropped $150 on books at B&N and have a stack waiting from my library, so I should prooobably get over that hurdle quick.

Pick one or more of my characters and one or more of yours, and I'll tell you something they've always wanted to say to your character but could never bring themselves to say out loud.

Uh, hopefully it will be in the character's actual voice, BUT I MAY HAVE TO PARAPHRASE IDK.


Also, Nat, I am putting you in charge of kicking my ass into gear and finishing my apps on the long weekend. I'm not doing anything for the holiday besides lying around and dreaming of food, so I will have heaps of time. Hopefully I can put my writing bug into getting those done, and then go back to fics/drabbles. I wrote one last night (for Marie ♥), AND LOL MY COMPUTER SHUT DOWN AND ATE IT AWESOME. But I have most of it in my moleskine, so I will get that up for you tonight, bb.

Also also, playing Elaine again makes me realize how much I missed PBing NatPort. :( I HAVE SO MUCH BREED STUFF IN THE WORKS YOU GUYS, I AM SO EXCITED.

1) ERICA WHAT IS THIS ABOUT CATWOMAN. GIVE ME MORE DEETS NOW SO I CAN ARRANGE ZARA TO BAWWW ACCORDINGLY.
2) Shay, apparently I am a giant fucking fail at contacting people. ARE YOU STILL IN FOR KAROLINA'S BBDADDY? Please comment here and let me know, etc. etc. OR EMAIL ME 8D
3) Omg I didn't know how much I missed Xover until I was playing there again omgggggg :'']

Dude, working full time blows, especially as I'm still making jack shit wages. FML.

IT COMES. This is a rundown of all my characters for xover. There's more on the three new ones, obviously, though I've included a little on the background of the old ones (i.e. what happened in game) for ~new players~. HELLO NEW FRIENDS!

Aaaaand this is ridiculously long, sorry.

( Zara Fariba (Zatanna Zatara). )

( Anne Gardner (Black Canary). )


( Jacob Borroughs (Two-Face). )


( Lorelai Wilson (Sally Jupiter). )


( Carrie March (Liz Sherman). )


( Eddie Durham (Deadpool). )


( Elinor Grant (Briar Rose). )


( Frank Green (Bigby Wolf). )

( UNNAMED (Karolina Dean). )

I AM ALSO STILL WORKING ON DRABBLES, in between reading 18th c. lit. and that paper I completely forgot was due Thursday. WHOOPS. At least it's only 4 pages and using the source material we use in class, so that's, uh. A relief. Anyway.

The Rated-R Meme. Comment with a character of mine, and I'll give you three random bits of trivia about their sexual practices, preferences, experiences, fantasies, kinks, or something along those lines. Feel free to mention multiple characters or a character multiple times.

PICK WHOEVER YOU WANT, though too far back and I may not be able to answer.

HELLO I AM LATE TO THE MEMEPARTY. I actually have yet to use that polaroid thingy, so the photos themselves will probably suck. BUT as RPlandia is pretty quiet for those of us not apping Neopolis, I NEED SOMETHING TO DO. No guarantee these won't all suck balls, as per usual.

Tag with a character of yours (past or present), a character of mine, and a picture of one of the two (or the two together, if that's an option). I will turn it into a Polaroid, and write a drabble about the circumstances!

These will inevitably get posted in a separate post, because it'll take hella long to write them, with my track record.

In xover news, I am so fucking close to finishing Brad and Rachel I CAN TASTE IT.

In other other news, now that my roster is shockingly clear, I may actually be able to finish those Jess and Azazel (and poss. Sylvie) apps I never got around to. Which is good! I'm sticking to my cut/drop list. GO ME. 8D
