Well if you're going to start secretly whitetexting, then in that case I'm going to ctrl+A everything you send me. EVERYTHING. EVER. It's true.
I DID CATCH YOU. And that's actually surprising, because normally I'm not good at catching similarity in style. But now that I've seen your stuff a bit I can recognize it. This makes me happy~ Anyway. FUCK YES COMFY SWEATERS. They are wonderful and warm which is helpful when you don't have heat. ... Er.
(You get yelled at for wearing sweaters in summer too? So do I. Or at least, I did, when I lived with my parents. But it's like... dude, I'm in the basement, and you have the AC going full-blast. OF COURSE I AM COLD.)
Your point about really big threads being harder on the computer than long ones makes perfect sense now that I think about it. Since I don't get involved in a lot of that kind, I hadn't really considered it before. Geeeze, that World Conference thread was HUGE.
Duplo's posted at the meme a few times, actually; but when we've threaded together, it has always been in sub-threads, not ones that he started. We've threaded twice at the meme, according to my log, but I think they've posted a few other times since their first thread as well. aklsdjf Normally I'm not one who says "they should post more", because of course I support people playing according to whenever they feel like it, but mannnn... I wish he'd post more. And this person does play two other characters - rather quirky ones, really
I find that the meme has started to get a teeny tiny bit slower, but not much. I figure by the time September is over things will be slower, but... Gah, I don't know. You know, with so much RP nowadays, and a higher population of users, I don't see it slowing all that much. It's kind of frustrating. Just a little bit. It would be nice not to miss fifty million things just because I went and had a life for an hour or two. Ah, well. I'm generally pretty good at forcing myself to do work when there is no other option, so I think I'm good.
Anyway. I AM CRAZY. I certainly am. But there is a sort of logic to my madness. I think. In any case, you've now been educated regarding a small (and probably useless to you) piece of Newfie slang. Now, you say you like being able to have the voice when you read it... In my case, I need to have the voice when I write it. Since I rely so much on dialogue (both internal and external) I need to know exactly how they would speak. Though it doesn't always make things easier to write (gods know, I certainly know how Sweden and Norway speak, but they're a pain in the ass to write). But without the voice I can't do it.
It's rare for girls to be my favourite character in a series - at least a visual series; often it's different in literature. I guess the reasons you suspect for girl characters being disliked make sense, though I'd say the "feeling threatened" and "getting in the way" bits are pretty ridiculous, even if it makes sense that people would feel that way (people do not always follow earth-logic). I find it very strange that people spazz out if their OTP, be it slash or otherwise, doesn't become canon. I mean, who cares? Realistically, it probably never had a chance - especially slash, I mean really, talk about unrealistic expectations - and why does it matter so much, anyway? I mean, there's nothing to keep a person from writing fic or doing art about other pairings, regardless of whether it's canon or not. Then again, I've never understood this whole thing about holding hard-and-fast to canon, because departures can be done in fic, but they have to be done well, and logically.
