Happy turkey day to everyone on the other side of the world, which I believe is most of you? ♥♥♥ Have a good day and eat some turkey for me! :D

For a bit o' crack: here.
Also, ugh, so tired. I can't really cook up the will to want things.
This, too, shall pass.
Also, happy Thanksgiving day to alllll my friends over there. Have a good family/turkey/what-have-you day. And, yes, I'm very, very thankful for my friends. Always.
Also, totally did not need loud muses moving in right now. Not that I'm not enjoying them, but damn, I have work enough to do. Still, I'm almost at 45K with NaNo, and will likely break 50K tomorrow night at some point. Pretty much on time. Will probably take 3-4K more to finish the outline, and I will, too, because I really really want to write those last two chapters/pieces.

So this narrative of sorts (the first part, rest assured I WILL BE CONTINUING THIS) is introducing you to a character that all of the played characters will know and interact with: Lucy Michaelson, Librarian of San Francisco. It is largely introduction, so I apologize if this isn't thrilling.
( Meet Lucy: nursing graduate student and, unknown to her, the next Librarian. )

Once again, iconning Make It or Break It is like taking a vacation. No weird lighting, lots of good caps, easy to make the icons look awesome. I've got a lot of them to crank through and hopefully I can do it quickly.
After I investigate why the children are still up at 9:30...

Comment below and I will tell you which of your characters that I've played against are my favorites and why I love them. Then repost this in your own journal.

These icons are taken from caps I found online for HBP, mixed with images culled from Googling Tom Felton to find images of the right age and image. These range from OotP and HBP, so he's around 20-22 in them or so.

Finally convinced this movie to cough up SOME decent icons. Now off to find other images. I'm still boggled by how few icons there are from recent years.

THE WALRUS. LOL. All are caps made by me from The Boat that Rocked (not Pirate Radio because Boat had some extra scenes!). Be on the look out for Tom Sturridge, (more) Bill Nighy, Tom Brooke, Nick Frost, Katherine Parkinson, Chris O'Dowd, (more) Jack Davenport, Kenneth Branagh, and Ike Hamilton, Yeah, that's a list, I know!
LOVE THIS FILM.

| Strange Things Are Happenin' to Me |
[25 Nov 2009|06:27pm] |
Today, I found an application for a character that I'm pretty sure is based on one that I wrote a while ago. I don't mean to flatter myself - it's possible that some of the things that I thought were my own invention have since become part of collective fanon for this character, but even the family names they chose and details about those family members were remarkably similar. The structure took largely the same form, some paragraphs seemed like reworded summary, and even a few turns of phrase were similar to or the same as ones I used.
Admittedly, I've done similar when I found applications that I liked - taken into consideration details and and aspects of the character that I had not previously considered, appropriated details either intentionally or accidentally due to source misattribution the next time I wrote an application for that character - though I generally ask the application's writer before doing so, especially if I don't know them. And the character is clearly not identical - they took aspects of the character in different directions, elaborated in places I didn't, and they certainly wrote the thing for themselves (GOD I hate the singular "they.")
It's certainly possible that I'm imagining things, and this is just a more common way to write this character than I was aware, but it left an odd taste in my mouth. What do you guys think about this sort of thing? Borrowing heavily from another person's interpretation of a character without asking or citing your source? Clearly, this is the internets, and I'm not exactly F. Scott Fitzgerald - I know most people don't write bibliographies when they're roleplaying - but I guess I just felt sort of odd about it. Flattered, I suppose, but odd.

Hm....
( comparative images beneath the cut )
B&W feels like a copout, but at least solves the blotchy skin problems. It's the graininess of the quality of the image, under all that mood lighting.

I am surprised and irritated that there is something WORSE than Dark Blue to icon, for lighting issues alone. And that would be HBP. Because OMG, the darkness! Everyone turns into pixilated ridiculousness after the light correction is done. It's like who turned Draco into a vampire? Man. This is just HIDEOUS. Some of these icons will be stop-gap icons until I can redo the set into something better because I just... I hate some of these. I really really do.

| Help me, NANOPOLICE! |
[25 Nov 2009|07:01am] |
Dear friends,
I need your help. The flu of death has set me behind on nanowrimo, and the shiny things at neopolis have been way more interesting than the dreaded 'middle o' booklandia'. What I have decided to do, is challenge myself to write 6000 words in 24 hours. So between now at 7 AM CST, I need you to yell at me if I even *think* of signing into chat or checking the game.
My word count at the time of this post is 36,193. I am not allowed to stop until this thing reads 42,193.
ETA: Unexpected visit from HS BFF has thrown me waaaay off :(
But now, I go to bed. Once I wake up, the madness shall begin!

Basically starting over again sucks. I am now in only one game that I was also in yesterday, yet five games total. Blech. NO MORE. Nobody ask me to join more. I shouldn't have been suckered into most of these.
( To-do list )

Okay. Are there any people in dread with characters that have some sort of performance backgrounds? I thought it'd be funny if the bar had like, bands or singers and stuff some nights.
ALSO, have another character.
( more dread notes! )
