Unfeathered Notes

New game, launched out of the old one: lots of Doctor Who/Torchwood and Buffy/Angel characters wanted - or indeed anyone! - if anyone on my flist is interested? I still play Jack, along with Harmony from Angel.



Game opens August 1st!

So I just spent the last several hours without internet - typically on the evening that Andy is actually out of the house and the person I'm roleplaying Jack/Rani with (who's on EST and can only get online briefly at the same time as me each day) was actually around early. I therefore missed out on two hours' worth of Jack/Rani at a crucially interesting stage in their thread (i.e. they're about to have sex *g*) and am very, very annoyed!!!

On the good side, I have done a fair bit of writing today. Not, unfortunately, Master Plan (except a few words and a bit of fiddling with it) but it's related in that it's four drabbles set during the Master's defeat in LotTL. I'll probably post it tomorrow, because I need to re-read and possibly edit before I post and I'm too tired tonight.

Will be going to bed soon. Saturday morning dancing has moved this term from 10.45 to 9.00!!! So I'm going to have to get up at normal work time! :-(

A year ago today, I started role-playing, thanks to becky_h and baffledking setting up a newbie-friendly place to start – aka Whoville. I started off rather nervously that Sunday evening with one character – the Master - and with within a week had brought in the Tenth Doctor too.

One year on, and I have eight characters in Whoville (and one I abandoned early on), two (shhhh!) in LeChance, one in Emanare and a Giles muse who's been played in a couple of places. I also play the odd even less formal thread in other places.

In other words, I'm having a hell of a lot of fun, and would like to thank those who introduced me to role-playing and put up with me asking loads of questions at the start, and all those who've played with me since and given me some really fantastic times. :-)

Ironically, I'm so busy today that I can't get my head into RP mode at all, so the anniversary won't be marked by much in that area! Will be back properly with it tomorrow, though! :-)

1. Had a really good day yesterday. Both Jack and I had had enough sleep for once, so we both a lot less stressed and a lot more relaxed and we had a really nice time together - and I finally stopped panicking about next week when Andy's away for ten days in Texas/Mexico.

2. Also been doing and reading some fabulous role-playing. Whoville has come alive again. And I've had some really interesting threads - Buffy/Romana (they really bonded), Jack/8 year-old Doctor (very interesting), Simm!Master/Delgado!Master (fascinating for both of them!), and now Spike/Ten.

3. Shame I'm back at work this afternoon and all day tomorrow and Friday. I've been really enjoying my RP! Still, I'm hoping to get on with Master Plan again, since I seem to actually have my brain back at last. :-)

4. At least I don't have to be at rehearsal till half an hour later than usual tonight, so I'll have a little bit more time for tagging before I go than I usually do.

5. Oh, also, yesterday Jack watched his first bit of Doctor Who. _medley_ had sent me a link to a bit of "Mind of Evil" on YouTube (because we're playing Master/Master) and Jack was fascinated. He won't ever let us watch any of our stuff on the telly while he's around, but if it's on the computer, he's fascinated. He sat through about 15 minutes of the thing - which is interseting, because we can now tell him his first Doctor was Jon Pertwee... *g*

6. Any typos in this post are due to the fact I'm typing it with Jack on my lap doing drawing...

I had an absolutely fantastic day yesterday! The party proved far more popular than I ever hoped, and it was wonderful to see so many people there, especially after the game being so quiet the last few weeks.

And some brilliant threads have come out of it. I'm looking forward to seeing what else happens!

In other news, I am finally getting my hair cut this morning (in about half an hour) after a year and a half of not getting round to it and I'm so pleased. It's far too long and unmanageable at the moment. So, yay!

Vaguely appropriate use of this new icon because it's just so hilarious!

So, I was role-playing with skipthedemon last night and I felt I was really getting into the role of the Master, so when she toddled off for an hour or so I plucked up my courage (because I didn't feel I had much brain) and opened up the latest chapter of Master Plan.

I had to read it through, because it's ages since I last looked at it, but as I went I did loads of infilling and adjusting and actually added some whole new bits and wrote about 600 words in all!!! Completely unexpected and made me feel really good!

Unfortunately, I'm knackered today so I doubt much of any worth will come out of my head, but I'm not around much anyway so it doesn't matter much. And I have tomorrow off work, so I can hopefully catch up on sleep and creative stuff then. :-)

Have just finished that Ten/Jack thread I mentioned almost a week ago - my first attempt at writing sex in RP.

May I just say here, in public, nuptse is incredible. I had a fantastic time playing with her, and her S1 Jack is just out of this world.

( Bit more, and list of recent threads )

Oh, God, that's a lot! Yeah, that's why I still haven't got anywhere with Jack/Jack and I feel really bad about that, but I am just having so. Much. Fun with the role-playing. Er, I will be back, eventually. Well, probably round about Thursday. *g*

1. Sorry I haven't responded to that meme that's been going round my flist asking you to comment with something memorable about you. I can never think of anything and certainly not lots of different things - plus I'm pretty sure that everyone knows who I am. (Yep, I'm the one who goes on about porn all the time! *g*)

2. I am still having an absolute blast with the role-playing. It's time-consuming and draining (though I suppose it'll get less so with experience) but it's the most incredible fun and I'm writing. And with someone else, which is something I've virtually never done, and it's so fascinating seeing their character react completely differently to how they would have done if you'd been writing them, and seeing where it all ends up.

3. I may actually get all my present shopping finished in my lunch-hour tomorrow, which will just leave a grocery shop at some point over the weekend. And there are annoying amounts of things still to be done before Christmas which will stop me being on LJ as much as I'd like to (which is pretty much all the time!), though I guess other people will be around less too.

4. I declare tonight reading night, as there seem to be fics everywhere on my flist and while I can do fact-reading and commenting at work, fiction-reading demands a bit more attention and more continuous time. Though I may not get very far, as Jack is being a right pain about going to sleep (it was 9.30 last night by the time he finally settled down) and Andy'll be out till late. :-(

ETA 5. I'm also preparing a profile to play the Tenth Doctor in Becky's game. Yep, I'm hooked. *g*
