It's really annoying, isn't it. =(

The worst part is that I want to tell her about it, and tell her exactly what I find faulty in her characterization. But it will probably hurt her feelings, because she spends time complaining about it.

13. Word.
14. Guilty as charged, though I picked it up from another roleplay... So wait, all this time I've been insinuating that my female Naesala was IC instead of OOC? Wow. That's... *snicker* Looks like it's back to hyphens for me.

At least you're not an asshole. u_u

But I'm a kitty~ ♥

May I ask who you guys are talking about?

Or, at least, where this roleplayer is from?

Thank you! :) This is the same reason why I don't flame him or his fans; I think they're also entitled to like him as much as they want.

Yay for sane fans! I knew there was a reason I still loved this fandom. ♥

5. Honestly, his backstory made me want to feel sorry for him. Yeah, it was angsty, but I generally tend to want to hug the angsty characters and make them feel better. I just couldn't get to like Asch, though. His personality really turned me off.

Okay~ ♥

[kurachu.livejournal.com]

bakura approves ♥!

[larvayne]

Approved! ♥~

They get so little love, though. Much as I like the sweet, pure, giggly main characters, I want someone like Anise to be the star of her own game!

[wakeupfrenzy.livejournal.com]

5. YES. It's not even that so many people love Asch despite the fact that he's long haired Luke with less of a personality. It's the fact that people jump down your throat for your opinion. But then it's totally ok for them to turn around and bash Tear for an hour. :P

We're talking about different people, I'm pretty sure. XD;

Re: (anon 1)

[if-i-had-you.livejournal.com]

Either way. XD; I was more curious about who the person writing the secret was talking about.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, exactly. This particular friend has a history of taking criticism badly, so I know it won't go anywhere. I'd give more details, except I don't want to give her (or me) away.

Good luck on your end, though. <3

If I said who it was, I'd probably lose my anonymity. =(

Re: (anon 2)

[if-i-had-you.livejournal.com]

Well, you don't need to say who it is. If they roleplay somewhere or someone in particular, it would suffice.

The reason why I'm asking is because I would like to know if that secret is directed towards me.

14. ...depends on the programming language? "!" usually means "not", sure, but I work with VB in Microsoft Access, and you can use a "!" like a "." in that language sometimes. Like, I might type Forms!frmMyReport!ReportDate to get the ReportDate from a form (or Me!ReportDate inside a form). I think it works with recordsets, too, like rs!FirstName. (DISCLAIMER: some of this syntax may be wrong, as I am le tired and not actually looking it up. But you get the idea.)

Which kind of makes more sense in the fannish context, since ReportDate "belongs" to the form?

What computer languages were popular when that showed up in fandom, anyway?

(I'm waaay overthinking this.)

Re: (anon 2)

It's directed towards all hypocritical roleplayers. Are you one of those?

[laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com]

4 - You don't need to ignore canon to make your character interact with characters from other fandoms! Think about it as writing a crossover, and interacting with crossover characters. Canon characterization still applies, you're just expanding on it.

Unless you're one of those people who sees crossovers as inherently AU, I guess.

Re: (anon 2)

[if-i-had-you.livejournal.com]

I don't believe so -- I play my characters the way I feel their characterizations should be played. Not by my own personal desires for what they would do.

However, I have spoken to people about that kind of thing before and it hit home just because of the way it was worded. That's why I was wanting to know.

Re: (anon 2)

[(Anonymous)]

If you're that worried about it, then maybe you should check your characterization.

That having been said, I don't know you.

Re: (anon 2)

[if-i-had-you.livejournal.com]

The only reason I'm worried about it is because I don't want to become a bad player for the character I do write for. It is very possible [and easy] to do that -- and I was worried that I might have strayed in some way.

Thank you, though. ^^ I appreciate it.

Who?

Re: (anon 2)

[if-i-had-you.livejournal.com]

Phoenix Wright. I play him over at landels_damned.

5 - I'm an Asch fan, but uh. In general, people should support each other's opinions o_o;
