1: Write it anyway, but I'd suggest doing so under a name that you can't tie to any others, and if you do piss off a BNF, don't argue with them and go into hiding for a little while, maybe even take down the fic. It's very cool to challenge prevailing characterization, but doing so or even co-writing with or defending someone who does can eventually get you in trouble. It can even get you stalked or at the very least, make people a lot more willing to drag even a small later dispute with you to Fandom Wank.

My best advice would be, if at all possible, to write it, file the fic or the idea away somewhere, and hope the BNFs leave for another fandom. If they do, then your alternate characterization shouldn't be as much of an issue.

6: Word. Weepy ukes suck.

10: Word.

He's Batman. Being on the receiving end of that bitchslap is all part of his elaborate plan to the Creeper, a plan which was formulated years ago!

1.Awwwwwwwwwwwww.:( Write! I'll read it! Seriously, as long as it's not terribly OOC I'll probably like it`

Kinda like how The Hobbit is a "kiddies book"? Or Alice in Wonderland? The Chronicles of Narnia?

Fail.

10. So much fucking concur. My god.

18. AHHHWHOAREYOU? ♥ Season 3 is now my vice. And I'm more hyped for it than I ever was for Harry Potter O: (Mike & Bryan ftfw)


...lawl there's so much HP hate here. Come on guys, seriously.

[elystia.livejournal.com]

Also, Garth Nix/Sabriel own my soul. That is all.

This is the same reason I can't really enjoy Adam Hughes' artwork any more. He's so damn talented and amazing, but ghah, what an entitlement-complex sexist dickwad.

Okay, so maybe not an actual fandom, but it does need more fans. I had an icon with steve yelling 'SOFA-PARASITE!' on it on yahoo and was disappointed with the fact that only my two friends who watched the show with me got it x-o

5. slkdfjapeijfrlskdfsj SABRIEL!!!!! :DDDDD

Sorry, fannish glee right there. I absolutely love that book, and I rufse to go into the fandom because I'm totally afraid that it'll ruin it for me. :(

10. Wordy. I go outside and play my DS while walking sometimes, I ADMIT IT. (well, actually my GBC because my DS has funny colours in sunlight)

11. I love their interaction (and yes, it's Dymlos on the cover, unless another commenter has said it already) and I would read snarky-relationship fic with Stan and Dymlos... SPOILER Because he DOES has a human form, kinda I think, and there's some time warping going on in Tales of Destiny II (Japan) SPOILER.

And smut with a SWORD is totally not cool. I found a doujin once... like that.... I kinda wish I saved it for squick factor. XD

[morinzilion.livejournal.com]

...Mogget/Sam?

Oh mang, that would be awesome but totally impractical.

RE 9

[morinzilion.livejournal.com]

Heavy Metal? I'm curious, could you please enlighten me?

[zoom-gas.livejournal.com]

19. fuck yes

Re: RE 9

[hako-neko.livejournal.com]

It's an old cartoon which deals with mostly sexual situations and the usual elements that are common in Heavy Metal Music imagery. I used to watch it all the time when I was younger. XD;

Re: (Not the original anon you're responding to.)

[callie-chan.livejournal.com]

As a player there, I can definitely say people aren't just waved in. Two of my friends (who are great writers) were both turned away because the mods felt their take on their characters wasn't really close enough to canon. (So, frankly, if there are a lot of OOC characters in the game, it's not because the mods gave them a free ticket in.)

My friends developed these characters over a long period of time and came up with a lot of great ideas for them, but I'll admit that does take them further from canon than most people are used to. Personally, I'm fond of those characters that way but I understand the mods' decision to turn them down.

And yeah - if the RP wasn't engaging and had a crappy player base, there wouldn't be such a demand to get in.

Re: RE 9

[morinzilion.livejournal.com]

....AWESOME :D

[glazedmacguffin]

9. A-fucking-men. Heavy Metal 2000 was a farce compared to the awesome that was her.

14. How can a character be going against the intentions of it's own creator?

20. I empathize. Yet I still feel compelled to ask what happens.

OP, HERE...

IT IS NOT THAT I HATE HP? IT IS THAT I AM KIND OF REALLY OVER IT?

But having just attended the Avatar panel at SDCC, and watched that gorgeous trailer, I feel MORE SURE ABOUT THE TRUTH OF THIS SECRET THAN WHEN I FIRST CREATED IT.

OP, here.

HAVING JUST ATTENDED THE AVATAR PANEL AT SAN DIEGO COMIC CON, AND WATCHED THE SEASON THREE TRAILER, AND BEEN CONSEQUENTLY DESTROYED AND THEN REBORN WITH THE FORCE OF MY EXCITEMENT, I AM EVEN MORE SURE OF THE TRUTH OF THIS SECRET THAN I WAS WHEN I MADE THE THING.

THANK YOU, AVATAR, FOR BEING SO FUCKING AWESOME <3

[(Anonymous)]

not the op of the thread.

way to miss the point of the secret.

Re: (Not the original anon you're responding to.)

[(Anonymous)]

Also not the op

I think people are missing the point of the secret. maybe I am.

the secret OP doesn't like the game. it doesn't matter if they get 10 excellent applications or 100, the OP of the secret doesn't like the game and stated they wouldn't join.

it doesn't make them wrong for not liking the game. geez people. they won't join so stfu about it. it's not like one person not liking your precious fucking game is going to bring down the entire universe. it's just one person.

you game RPers are a bit too sensitive about your games.

Re: 15

[(Anonymous)]

not the op

in your replying to defend the honor of your game, yes, you have fulfilled the expectations of the wank.

christ on a moped. can't people bitch about RP games they hate without having the game descend on them to call attention to their faults for not liking a goddamned LJ based RP game?

she doesn't like it. big fucking deal. you got 100 apps this last application. let the success of your game speak for your game and not the legions of dedicated players who's egos have now been punctured because ONOES someone on the internet thinks the game is lousy.
