OKAY, update on comments

In my last blog I asked people to please be more interactive because it made me sad that you weren't.... I apparently had restricted comments! Someone notified me of this (They will be forever loved <3<3<3<3) and now anyone can comment! COMMENT AWAY :3 I'm so fucking excited.

WOW, Where y'all coming from?

Okay guys! This is so coolio. Ever since I realized the function to look at who's coming to my blog I've been excitingly counting the numbers of people who visited as it goes up and not visiting it as much as possible so I don't throw off the numbers (Although I'm probably 200 of the google chrome views). I didn't realize I could see WHERE you people were looking from. I have 42 views from Russia? Look at all these different places! It makes me feel so special. However, there is one problem though.... I seem to never get feedback from you guys. I'd love to have a much larger active discussion of this blog and all it's contacts, but not just a discussion but just... any interactions! It's hard to believe I get so many views! So please, if you read this blog, start commenting on it! Follow it! Send me a message on yahoo saying hi :) Even if you disagree (In fact, I love criticism).

Anyways, I just thought I'd let you know, I'd love to interact with more role-players of the world!

Happy role-play hunting

OH HAI 2

Hey! So I'm proud I've been posting a lot lately, even if the quality is only so so... I plan on making a really good one about romance soon but I thought until that happens I should let y'all know it might be a little bit since I'm gonna put a lot of time into it. Until then enjoy yourself! One of my not as important blogs accidentally got deleted cause I thought it was an old draft, but apparently I'm just an idiot... anyways it was just about having a nice role-play experience and isn't an important blog anyways. I figured the culmination of those two things plus the fact that on the 17th-23rd I'll be away on a vacation of sorts so I won't be posting was a good enough reason to post this crappery of a role-play blog. SEE YOU AROUND FANS :)

PS: Here's a picture

House of BlackFlame

I thought I'd give a little shout out and discuss about a cool idea I came across today (Which apparently it just came out, so I'm like all up to date and everything) called "House of BlackFlame." However cliche the mean side of mean likes think the word blackflame is, this is actually a cool site made by a group of role-players that want to start a role-playing 'clan' (I hope clan is the right word). It's a really nice and prettied up site with a few rules (Meaning less than the common role-players character profile site, don't be afraid it should be easy to meet these rules) with a setting all picked up for you. The ideas that they allow you to do are limitless (How brave of them!) which means, if there's conflict, I suppose they'll work it out as moderates? I don't know, but either way I wish them the best of luck!

This brings me to the small topic I wanted to talk about which was, reclaiming role-play. In the past I've blogged about how all role-players like to do is bitch and that if there was a golden age that the golden age has gone away due to the massive amounts of bitching and meanness people like to sling around each other like bored monkeys with poo at the zoo (A POO JOKE LAWL). As an attempt to redeem this role-play world to myself I've of course taken the easy way out which is this blog. All this blog really does remind any of the readers that... role-players are out there, they care about role-play, and that they want us to get along. Also hopefully, it's entertaining and intellectually stimulating. This site [http://www.houseofblackflame.com/join.html] however is a much more direct and harder approach at it, so my whole point was, GOOD FOR THEM. They're actually stepping up to the plate and doing it, so I really wanted to put this out there as I sincerely respect these people and their attempts at redemption and fun role-play. Check em out!. Happy role-play hunting! :)

Bitter Role-players

Hi everyone! I wanted to talk today about a group of role-players that Go about things in the oddest tactic I've ever seen possible. I call them the "Bitter role-players." When dealing with this group of people you generally tend to start with an absolutely beautiful bunch of people who talk nice and discuss role-play with you like reasonable adults. However, time for role-play is of the essence for you so you postpone the role-play. These people continue to bother you about role-play over and over again until they are convinced that you are lying about just being busy (I am terrible at being busy... because I work in three separate labs and try to read, work out, play with my friends kids, and play magic the gathering on a regular basis. I also don't have internet at my home). However reasonable you are to them, they slowly and slowly get more accusative and more bitter towards you until they finally accuse you directly of being a liar because you have yet to role-play with them. I can think of one in particular who I'd get mass messages from announcing that people had 15 hours to respond otherwise they would be taken off her friends list. I can't help but feel these people WANT to be good people, but don't know how to keep it up. Hopefully they'll figure it out.

A tid bit of this and that, taddle raddle battle rhymes....

It's starting to happen more and more often... At first I really didn't know what to think about this, but the more it happens the more the hidden messages under the real ones start screaming out at me what's really going on. What is it might you ask? Well, many of you won't be able to understand where I'm coming from, but many of you will..... Lets start from the beginning

I have a website about my characters. It's not great, but it gets the job done more than well. Regardless, on the website it says that I do have a strong liking too lesbian romance role-play. However many times I explain myself, defend my views, make it clear what I'm comfortable with, it doesn't fail that I get people trying to pry my homosexual characters out of homosexuality some way or another. If you've followed my blog you know about my blog with the "angriest role-play ever." This was the first but not he last of ridiculous attempts to try and guilt me on or change my likes on role-play lesbian women. It's weird that this is such a delicate subject to other people, mainly, heterosexual men. Heterosexual men seem to pm me over and over again about role-play and then give me a big bucket of 'concern' that I won't want to role-play with them because I happen to like lesbian romance role-play. Well, I don't change characters that have a central aspect of their character being they are homosexual, but I'm totally willing to make new characters and or play my already NON homosexual characters with men and do sexual and or romance role-play. However this never seems to be enough. The 'concerned' individuals tend to be impossible to convince that they shouldn't be concerned, but they're not the only type of people who come bothering me about this. There are also the "pitiers." They come to me saying how much of a pity it is that I have so many homosexual characters, because they would be denied my great role-playing skills. Or even better, the ones who ask me to change, for instance, my character Rebecca to be bisexual even though part of her character is that she hates men to the point that she hates bisexual women. I mean... I suppose it isn't totally out of the question, it might make for good role-play, but all except the last person where do these people come off? "Hey wanna role-play? Let me totally re-arrange your characters and who you are so that you're acceptable role-playing material for me" <-- I totally want compromise, but this isn't it. This is way worse. People, really, get over it. Some women just don't have a need sexually for men and several of my characters are that way. Also, someone who is homosexual COULD have sex with a man... some of them just would want another woman there. I think that a big part of it is, men are insecure about this very thing... that some women just don't want to sleep with men. They'll just have to get over it. Anyways, this was a bit of a "venting" session. I just don't understand I suppose. Happy role-play hunting

Role-playing... and writing

I seem to run into an a slightly annoying situation where my older sister (Whom acts like she must be my younger sister) forces me to look at all the different character she is drawing that she came up with for this story she's supposedly going to write. The thing is, I keep having to look at these damn pictures year after year, listen to their biographies, and try and have an intellectual discussion about one of my favorite passions, writing, while not making her feel insecure about the fact that she's approaching making a story in the most retarded way possible. As a writer and a role-player I'm able to distinguish what is just simply, wasting my time fun pieces of writing, and something I'm serious about and put as much hard work and time into as possible. What's funny is, like my sister, I often find people making similar mistakes about the identity of what could be considered a good writing project. I mean it comes down to this... a writer writes. Making personalities on the side as a character profile is really missing the whole point of writing. Writing is supposed to be fun and if you're avoiding doing the actual writing by making all this history to it that won't actually be a part of the project.... then why are you pretending you want to write? Writing, although sometimes is laborious and not exciting... is supposed to be fun and something you can be proud of.It's funny, but what she's doing is standard procedure to making a role-playing character. She does LARP, so it makes sense that this is how she approaches it, but it's a mistake on her part none the less. However, role-players tend to make the opposite mistake that she makes. They think that role-playing is this serious writing project. It doesn't happen every day I try and find role-play, but too often (Once is too often....) people tell me that they are trying to learn their character for a story they plan on writing by role-playing said character with me. I'm sorry but.... NO! It's fine if you're both a writer and a role-player, I am, but they aren't the same thing. There are things to be said for it however... for instance it exposes you to other writing styles (Basically you're reading more...), it lets you talk with other writers (if they're both) on a personal level and it exposes you to other ideas and gets your mind ready for a free flow of creativity. I would say it lets you have someone correct your grammar and spelling mistakes, but apparently everyone has the sensitivity of a five year old's knee after they've been slip and sliding on cement sidewalks. However nice these things are, they're not the same for the same reason why what my sister is doing isn't writing. One is something for fun, the other is a serious project. If you wanted to write... you'd just do it. A while back I made a comment in one of my blogs "It’s a terrible cycle only kept alive by this idea that role-playing is the two person activity equivalent of writing a book and that what they are doing is a tribute to literature. It’s not of course, but this is their mistake." I suppose I should clarify, there are aspects of writing a story in role-playing. This is role-playing taking the form of written word... however there are differences, as I've state. The biggest being this isn't a book and the quality of writing tends to be below what you'd actually want to publish... I know some of the ideas I throw in to spice up a role-player are certainly mechanically held together by bubblegum and paper clips.... Just keep your role-play creativity away from your writing creativity. If you have a character you want to write a story... just write it! Don't waste time role-playing him/her! You're wasting all that creativity on something that is just for pleasure. At least that's how I see it.

Now for a little story of mine... the best experience I had, as in funniest, where I got pmed by a role-player making this same mistake. He pmed me flat out asking me to help him write a book. I didn't really understand why, but he quickly explained that he couldn't write from a girl's perspective and wanted me to do it for him. Clearly this was another way to basically... avoid the hard work that is writing... but it's also slightly homophobic and kinda anti-woman. Well feminism aside, it was pretty funny. I told him he better learn, no one was gonna want to write his story about his dumb role-playing character. I suppose I'm just a bitch though ;) Happy rp hunting
