Re: The OOC: We're Obsessed

Oh. Well, in that case, Logan has shut down. I suspect it is due to one of two reasons.

1. He thinks he'll actually have a good time out with his cousin and son. And you know how he feels about that sort of thing.

2. I haven't gotten around to going back and figuring out how old Jason is.

I'm trying to make time for looking up the Jason thing so that if that's the reason then I can fix it. But I'm also in the process of deciding how to write an author bio for myself, try to blog more than once every couple weeks, and clean my darn house (though it looks better than usual since I did major cleaning before leaving for my conference.

Well, we can just assume they did have a great time and go from there.  Maybe to the following week when he realizes Daphne is the lead? :D

That should be torturous enough for him. Ought to make him. . . not happy.

Re: The OOC: We're Obsessed

It was surprisingly quick to find a face for Finn. My only concern was that maybe James McAvoy didn't look 35. But IRL he's 33, so I figure it doesn't matter how old he looks.

Re: The OOC: We're Obsessed

FYI: No idea what my online time will look like this week. Tomorrow night (Tuesday) there's a BBQ for Mother's Day and my grandma's bday. Then we may or may not be driving 2 hours to Newton because we have a funeral for Allen's step-grandpa on Wednesday. After that, they're bringing his grandma up here for a visit because his brother is graduating Thursday night. So we're going to take her to the zoo on Friday while his mom works. Then Sunday, my sister and Allen's stepsister are both graduating, plus there's a going-away party for my cousin who's moving to AZ and an Open House Picnic at Allen's work, so we'll be doing some combination of those things. Then Sunday is a graduation party in the afternoon and a potluck & missions presentation in the evening. And I haven't even really looked at next week yet. So there you go.

Re: The OOC: We're Obsessed

I've been thinking lately about what we can do to reinvigorate this place. And I got to thinking about when we all met and started writing together. And the thing is, when we started, we were all writers who enjoyed roleplaying. And I think somewhere along the line, we've become roleplayers. But that's not who we are and I think that's why we get burnt out like we do and we get busy and it gets put on the back burner, because it's not as refreshing to us as our first love. We all need to write. And I'm not talking about this stuff. This stuff is fun and I love brainstorming with you guys and writing with you and letting other people help to make the story more interesting and powerful and whatever. But at the end of the day, we all need to be making time to write for ourselves. To write our own stuff.

So, I have a proposal. The month of June is Camp NaNoWriMo. It's the same 50,000 word project as November, but it's more low-key and all the group stuff is online. No physical get-togethers. So I say we take June off. Those of us who want to write something for Camp NaNoWriMo, do that. Those of us who aren't into writing novels, pick something else as our goal for June. Maybe your goal will be to write 15 short stories (that's one every other day). Or maybe the goal is to write and illustrate a children's book (I know that won't be any of us, but it's a valid goal, put out there for illustrative purposes). Whatever the goal, I think we should start a thread in here, state our goals, and encourage each other in them during the month of June. And then maybe we should do something like this every few months.

This time, it's make your own goal. Maybe another time it'll be for each of us to take someone else's Unbound character and write them in an alternate universe scenario. I'd love to see David as written by Sopha. Or Dee as written by Britt. And then maybe another time we can do drawings or photoedits of each other's characters. Or just whatever. But I think that trying to get our engines going by sitting around waiting for them to start is the wrong path. Engines don't start by themselves. Engines start when you stick the key in and turn it. They need that little jolt of electricity. And I think it's hard to get that little jolt of electricity going in a group like this, when we're all available at different times. I think we all need a jolt, but we're not going to be able to get it from each other at this point in our lives. So let's each figure out our kickstart, and get to kicking in June.

Re: The OOC: We're Obsessed

It's June 1st! I hope to see some updates and such from you ladies in the Goals thread this month. And we'll see if July is a more productive RP month as a result.

Re: The OOC: We're Obsessed

I just wish my characters would be a little less active when I'm showering and trying to sleep and a little more active when I'm wasting time on the computer. Which I do way more than I should.

A real twin, no. But if someone wanted to make a guy that happened to look just like him, I'd allow it.

Re: The OOC: We're Obsessed

I told you you had to get in there before Renee showed up to cart him off around the world.

But I have other guys. There's the director of the movie. Flinn. You said you liked his face, too.

Re: The OOC: We're Obsessed

Finn was a character who created himself. Partly because we needed a director for Logan to go whine to. But honestly, as crazy as I know this makes me, I was laying around in bed, just thinking about stuff and it was like he just walked up and said, "Hi. I'm Finn. I'm directing the movie." So I made him. And since he was in-your-face about being created, I figure eventually he'll start bugging me for air time. So you're not forcing me to play him, that's for sure. You just figure out which lady you'd like him to meet.

OMG Sopha! Isla DeVane! You don't have anything for her yet!  She can be in there somehow or meet Finn somewhere.  She is in LA, isn't she?
