Sep. 27th, 2006 07:24 pmFirefox has erased ALL of my bookmarks....AGAIN!
FUCK, today is not my day...someone shot me now, I'm done.
EDIT: yeah, more whining. better then making a new post though, since I know noone likes whiny spam.
You know what bugs me? When I know plotting is going on and I know I either won't be asked or my pups just won't fit. I can't write plots, I know that and I don't want to post and beg, since noone else seems to have too. But that doesn't mean I don't want to do anything with them. If I took my pups out of either game, would anybody even notice? Serisouly, Should I bother even trying to write Living Monolith or to meet TR's posting standards when neither will make a difference or even be noticed? Because it doesn't feel like it. If you don't like me or my pups, any of them, be it Tommy, Michael, Han, Alex, Fiyero or Hunter, just tell me now...because I'd rather not put the effort into Sky or Xander or Living Monolith if noones going to care. I can only care so much. Am I a bad Rper? Is that it? And if I am, why the fuck doesn't someone just tell me...
I'm fucked up, I know, but I can only care about so many things. If I'm bad at writing these characters, then put me out of my misery.

Date: 2006-09-28 01:40 pm (UTC)I for one would love to see you do Living Monolith. It's difficult to include Alex in any plots atm because he's in Hawaii, but anything that gets him back to the mansion is definitely All Good in my book. I know Dex and I were batting ideas around at the start of the year for possibilities, should you need any actual plotting help.
Also... Don't have much myself for Tommy beyond the insane cute that is Yvette, but I do know Dex has some possibilities with his new alt and the corrupt cops, basically giving you some wider options as far as movement goes - again, it's difficult to include Tommy in plots because he can't/won't leave the mansion and we're not allowed to blow that up/invade it any more. ;) However, I shall sacrifice small fuzzy bunnies to the Plot Demon and see what comes up - I know there was a song lyric idea of Nutes that was just fantastic but needs possible tweaking.
And finally. *hugs* In case I didn't say it enough, thank you so much for your participation in my intro plot for Yvette. It was a small role, but crucial and I'm especially pleased with the way it came off.

Date: 2006-09-28 02:29 pm (UTC)Tommy won't leave the mansion and is hugely anti-social and makes a lot of comments to the effect of how much he thinks everyone is lame, lame, lame, and Alex is in Hawaii. Which is very far away from New York.
I'd love to see Living Monolith done. I'd be all over that. I'd love to see Tommy break out of his shell a bit - hell, I'll help with that as much as I can, with either of my two. Not sure how much MA can do, and Kyle'll need a kick in the ass (he holds grudges), but I'm willing to help. MA might be your better bet, actually, since Kyle'd need a lot -from- Tommy to un-grudge, and I don't know what's going in Tommy's head.
Ask for help with plots. We post and beg, we just ... tend to do it to the people who know best. So I'll go to one of the Matts, or to Rossi or Dex, because I've worked with them before and I know they'll do right by me.
Seriously - a lot of the plots that you see being run that look totally put together and awesome are because we get together in email groups and hash out issues and beat each other with sticks. Which is what I recommend for your plots - and your involvement. No one's going to flip out like a ninja if you speak up.
If you want in on a plot, say so. I don't ask you because ... honestly, I think you don't want to be in any plots, because you don't speak up. Which is a catch 22, and probably awful of me.
Alex or Tommy, either of them, would make a faboo addition to XForce, you know. :) Tommy especally since they'd all be raging hypocrites if they couldn't get past his background, given that most of them have awful ones of their own.

Date: 2006-09-28 07:33 pm (UTC)- I don't think you're a bad RPer at all. I think you're an excellent one. I think part of the problem is that some people want certain things to happen to their pups, and they're not open to other things happening. They get into a rut and only think in a certain point of view. I know I do that. I haven't gotten Angela to really interact with anyone outside of the 'Bones' pups and people who play 'Bones' pups. It's difficult when people don't know the canon, too, like Hunter and Fiyero. All the comments I've ever read about Han have been positive, and from what I've read he's right out of the movie. But that of course is problematic since Han, when in character, would do exactly what you've had him do and hole up in a cave waiting for the Falcon to come back. As for Michael, I don't know. I love him as a character, but he really isn't as dynamic as say, Brian. Plots are designed to shake things up, and Michael doesn't really shake things (unless it's a pup like Cam, but there seem to be rather few of those on the island). So it's not you, it's timing and need and knowledge. Sometimes a certain kind of pup is needed for a plot. I haven't been asked to do any plots, other than Opp!Plot which I dramatically failed at, and I know that's not because Cam or Arthur or Ange suck (or at least I hope not). I know that Cam is an stubborn butt, and Arthur is stoic as all get out, and Ange is rather run-of-the-mill in the normal grand scheme of things. They shine in their element, but outside things get kind of ... whatev.
I don't know if that was any help or anything.
- I have a feeling a lot of plotting goes down in chat, simply because of who is there. Like I said, people get stuck in a rut and have tunnel vision. I don't think it's a clique-y thing persae, but it doesn't hurt to at least listen in on what the cool kids are saying.
- You're not bad at writing these characters. You're very good at them, from what I have seen and experienced. Keep plugging away. Don't give up. Everything shifts and changes. Some posts get no tags and some get 100. The people behind the pups are just like you, and sometimes they have bad days and days when they can only focus on one thing and days when they want to tag everything. It's all fluid.
And I love you. Please don't go.
