All da pretty peoples

I dont mind at all!

You asked for it, you got it! [align=center]Looking for Warning Signs Updated: 3/08/2016 Going to make the disclaimer right now that any sort of warning section won't work for every situation. I will be going off my own RP experiences and those I have heard and witnessed myself pertaining to others both in this game and in others. Also, please keep in mind one of the most valuable lessons of the internet. "It is a hit-or-miss game when it comes to inferring tone with text." Meaning that sometimes what may be read in a offensive tone by yourself may not be what the poster intended. Take their word for it unless you see outright displays of aggression, or simply ask them for clarification. Sometimes even pointing out that what they said or did came across the wrong way and a simple explanation can do wonders. [align=left]OOCly wanting to organize your characters getting together before RP even happens: This goes beyond even the realm of polyamory in roleplay. I've seen it on ALL ends of RP and has usually been a pretty big warning sign. I had someone near the beginning of the summer keep chatting me up OOCly on a friendly enough level in the game who then started asking me more about my character. The more I told them, the more interested they became in them and the more comments they made along the lines of "Oooo she'd be great with my character!", "She should meet my character, they could hit it off really well". It goes on from there. Needless to say, at the end of the whole thing I had wished I never RPed with the person and they have since been blocked from everything I ever had them on. While they were never a consistent RP partner, it was a sour enough experience that I have seen happen with others end in a similar way (mostly on WoW out of all the MMOs I've been on). Though the poor experiences usually only stem when it applies to the realm of romanticism and flirting. Interest in having characters meet or saying they might be compatible as friends and allies rarely applies to this. Partner collecting: This issue is far more polycentric. Oh. My. God. Partner collecting is one of the biggest peeves I've seen people have when it comes to polyamory and the community itself, and is one I myself even share both OOCly and in roleplay. Now, when I share partner collecting it's like this: Bob has two partners, Jane and Billy. Both are his Primaries. Bob then meets Jill and they connect really well and she is polyamorous as well so on she goes to become one of his partners. Jill has barely been in the picture when Jack and Amy join the fray in a short time frame. Then along comes Susan. And April. And Summer. And Ben. All in a very short time frame from one another. So now you have one person trying to juggle and give the same amount of time and attention to all of these people he wants to establish as consistent partners. Not casual individuals with a few becoming partners and maybe one or two going on to become a Secondary or Primary. Now you are getting these people with some getting hurt or offended at the fact they were given this impression of being a significant part of Bob's life and he's stretched too thin because he just keeps adding more and more and MORE people. The problem with this lies in the simple fact that: there are only so many hours in the day and you are only one person just as they are only one person. Your character is only one person. While it's great to have the feeling of falling for someone and that sense of connection first being established, collecting people just to get that sensation over and over again leads to one big, BIG problem: What about your character's other partners? Those story lines? You can't fade to black or OOC talk out how the RP might have gone constantly. Some level of time and effort is expected. Keep a look for this if you're RPing with someone who's RPing a poly character and you see this occurring or find yourself inadvertently doing it. It almost always blows up some how, usually in the form of enough people feeling neglected or mislead and tensions mounting. More often ICly, though I have seen it occur OOC as well. Meet and fall in love right off the bat, get established, next please: Similar to partner collecting, this one is another biggie when it comes to poly RPers. Meeting a character who falls for your own character very, VERY fast. Things get established and comfortable, things are set and made, and then that character is hitting up everything with two legs in the Quicksand. Now, some characters are naturally flirtatious. But if this is beyond what you might have seen before or when you first met them? Be careful. If it doesn't lead to partner collecting, it sometimes shows that a person might be more ERP centric. Especially if part of the 'love' aspect is what they strive for: the sexytimes. Or if sexual openness is a must in the rules of the relationship. Just like in real life, there are those who just seek to add tallies to their bedposts rather then develop anything significant. That's not being polyamorous. That's just wanting to get cyberboinked/ERP/screwed/etc. Polyamory is nothing without that meaningful connection too and with others and is NOT supposed to be focused solely on sex. If you're given that impression, it likely isn't good. Where every potential partner is shot down by the one your character is already with: Say your character has their Primary and that's it. You both have each other and things are sunshine and roses, the characters are great, the roleplay is awesome. Awesome, yeah bro? Good. Now, say that your character is well within the parameters of the relationship to be receptive to others and both characters are polyamorous or in a open relationship situation of some kind. But every time they show interest or vice versa, the Primary quietly (and sometimes not so quietly) objects behind closed doors or in public. The first few times perhaps they just give the character and/or player bad vibes. That happens. But every single time? There's the good possibility the character is not actually comfortable with such a thing (sometimes it's also true of the player). I've seen some characters over the years played to where they claim to be open to such things, but when they end up with someone like that it becomes a very enclosed situation. No one is good enough or no one gets along or the players whine or the character whines, etc. Your biggest warning sign with this situation is when they have an interest and you or your character objects. If it turns into an argument or they insist upon it? Might be best to do an IC or OOC intervention with them privately about the matter, which ever applies (sometimes both help, but situations vary). OOC complaints/bickering/criticism/changes: This is also one that broadens beyond just polyamory but I'm going to try and keep it very polycentic for simplicity's sake. Also, this is one that can happen even without giving cause for alarm but when it enters into more specific territory is where to be wary. If a member of your character's polygroup is constantly badmouthing another member for no real reason, be wary. Especially if the characters and players have had very, VERY little interaction or none at all. Even moreso if its a regular occurrence no matter who is brought in and there was no issue until after that person became involved with your character. If the player is constantly criticizing your character's choices from their partners or even fashion, be wary if it's a constant thing especially after your character gains or loses partners. This is a big one that I have had experience with myself: If after a change in dynamic involving another partner, if their OOC attitude BLATANTLY changes, be VERY cautious and aware. I once had someone throw a temper tantrum in FC chat over very small things that stemmed from their displeasure with the RP. Sometimes emotions get the better of us even when RP is concerned but it's never an excuse to take it out on others. [align=center]Will update this particular post as more things come to me or I get more suggestions.[/align] [/align] [/align]

[align=center]Scheduling [/align] As the poly phone app I linked back shows, sometimes when one's polyfamily grows, there's a lot of management to do. Day calendars are a big thing with us. If you have a poly friend, a good default gift is a detailed daily planner. No, seriously, even with RP. Time management is HUGE. Especially since there's only so much time in a day most people roleplay and if you have two or more partners to split your time around when it comes to roleplay, it adds up. Everyone has their own structure and own schedules so people have to work around each other just like with regular RP. Though from experience, I see more people put their priority with FC related events and interpersonal and romantic relationship developments then most other types of roleplay. [align=center]Why scheduling is so important [align=left]When it comes to roleplay, everyone does things differently. One of the habits I have picked up that tend to work well for me is the 1 month rule. [/align] [align=left]The 1 Month Rule: A consecutive month of RP with someone is usually a good gauge for their average schedule and how much you can expect to have RP time with them either privately or in a public setting. Now, this is not full proof. But it's worked well for me in the past and is what I personally go by and recommend to others. Everyone has their own system, however, so just do what works best for you if you've already found something to your liking. When it comes to the management of time and scheduling, this becomes important when practicing polyamory in any setting. Before, you might have devoted quite a bit of time to one or two partners, and BOP! Development happens, things work great ICly, and now you have a third. A third who will likely want their time with your character just as the other two do. And contrary to popular belief, just because a character or person is poly doesn't mean that EVERYONE is involved with one another. If it happens and everything hits itself off? Great, but it's also no biggie if it doesn't. Which means in many cases your character's poly group will want their own kind of time with them. It's easy to get swept up into the moment or with an RP partner you click with SUPER well and devote a lot of time too. But it's also easy for players and characters to feel put off if suddenly all of your available RP time is now fixated on a smaller group then before and what they once were used too no longer is the case. Not everyone ICly or OOCly adjusts to change well, so it's always nice to try and be considerate of that within a reasonable level. This is when the question arises of "Well, it's my RP time and my money per month, I should be able to do what I want with it". Which is very true, but RP is also about a certain level of commitment when your character's story is intertwined with others. If you feel things changing to where the same dynamic cannot be held as before? Please let that or those RP partners know so adjustments ICly and OOCly can be made. This goes even outside of polyamory as well. Some things that can help you stay organized! Notepad with dates and times for events so you don't forget and over schedule an RP date with FC raid nights or something else important game wise. Make notes on when was the last time you RPed with people, polypartners or otherwise. It helps better show how you balance things between players and when you notice "Oh...haven't RPed with my friend Jane in a few weeks. Let's see what she's doing tomorrow". If your character is in a grouping where everyone is comfortable with each other and with the dynamic, try a group outting. Can be fun, lead to more interesting RP, and it kills multiple birds with one stone. Set aside specific days for specific things if you can. Tuesdays and Thursdays can be personal and FC days when you log in on those days while others can go to RP partners or other activities. I have a guild leader from WoW where his weekends were his storyline RP days and Sunday evenings were for football or raids. These are all just some examples, many of which made in mind for the more steadfast gamer since many RPers I know log in regularly enough to where a day by day schedule wouldn't be too far fetched.[/align] [/align]

Okie dokies! Back to a computer so I can post things and some updates to the guide! First off: I read about 85-90 percent of the posts on this thread. Was interesting to see how things went and that so many things got pruned or moderated. I want to make it clear so that there isn't any further misunderstandings that when I posted in the opening thread about having a race with a nontraditional structure (being the miqo'te), I was not outright implying they are polyamorous. We know very little about the Keepers except they have nomadic males that come and go as they please or when it's best suited and Seekers are namely all for polygyny with a lion tribe aspect to them. Personally? I have my own views on miqo'te but I will not discuss them in this thread. That's not what the thread is for. It's to better explain polyamory both in general and in a RP aspect (namely an RP aspect). Overall it was nice to read things though was a little sad that people derailed the thread so terribly. Secondly: Due to the derailing, going to update the opening post with links to the actual guide pages on the thread so people don't have to wander through the pages to find them. Try to keep the conversation about things poly and RP related and for goodness sakes listen to the admins when they tell you to play nicely. As always if you have any questions you're welcome to PM me Already got a few messages thus far so keep it coming! Lastly: I'm going to add things to the guide based off some of what I read as well as some suggestions people brought up during the course of the 8 pages worth of convo lol. If you have anything you'd like to see more of or think should be added, let me know. Format is still staying the same as with the color scheme (because I'm a sucker for messing with font colors when I do this sort of thing). Hope everyone enjoyed their holiday! Onward to the guide!

To all, I've gone and read through many of the posts though am on a phone and thus am limited to all i can do since i am with the boyfriend. I would like to both thank and.apologize to the admins for all the thread monitoring. I havent had access to internet to see how this had turned out until just now. This was not meant to bring up a hotblooded debate on miqo'te and polyamory though its an interesting topic in and of itself. Please limit any further discussions and let this thread be what it was intended to be: a guide. Any further wanting for discussion either send me a PM or make a separate thread for it please and thank you and i will make a more indepth post once i get to a computer. With holiday love, Lili

Playing one or two, one of which is for my boyfriend and I to do some RP storyline things with The other will probably be one I can have an independent story on. Will have to see with how the lore and the like turns out! so happy omg i cant even *dies*

[align=center]Some random basics [/align] [align=left]Polyamory is interesting in the sense that it has no set structure to go off of (see Polyamory wiki link for further details). It is slightly different from relationship to relationship and with the preferences and comforts of those involved adding to the playing field. So even in a roleplay setting it adds a LOT of flexibility. Also can offer unique boundaries as well. Some example of these possible boundaries are... [/align] [align=left]Being allowed to have emotional relationships with other people but being restricted when it comes to sexual play or involvement. [/align] [align=left]Having a primary or secondary be comfortable with your involvement with members of your same sex (or sometimes those who are fluid or nondefining, but that's a topic for another day), but not comfortable with those of the opposite gender and/or sex. [/align] [align=left]The list can go on. For those who enjoy romantic or relationship oriented roleplay, it brings up a plethora of interesting scenarios and complications to spice anything up. [/align] In polyamorous dynamics, it can get REALLY confusing as to what to call those you're involved with to someone on the outside when there's three or more involved. In the real world, they even made a phone app for that shit. Usually you have a few basic categories for organizations sake. Some characters I've seen even made pet code names to keep it covert while also expressing it publicly. Note: Multiple people can fit into a role. You can have more then one primary, secondary, etc. The app link above even shows that lol. Primary: Title speaks for itself. They are your main lover. Your first and foremost. Usually the one you've been involved with the most or the most intimately (emotional or otherwise). Think status similar to a wifey or a hubby in terms of rank and scale. In FF14 it could be the primary 'mate' or whatever suits best. Secondary: Again, title speaks for itself. They are next to the primary but still have a very special place in your heart. These two keep it basic, and anything after this is also to one's discretion or how the characters might define one another based on the experiences and the RP. There are many common misconceptions about polyamory both in roleplay and in reality. Many of them speak for themselves and are even pointed out in some of the above articles. For those who don't want to read all of that, I'll list a few of the big ones here (note I use 'you' mainly in reference to a character/persona/etc.): If you are involved with someone but are messing around emotionally or physically with other individuals without your partner's consent, knowledge, or they know but don't care for it, this isn't polyamory. This is, by definition, cheating. Polyamory is nothing without informed consent from all sides. [align=left]Just because you canoodle the doodle or poodle of other people on a regular basis and have some pieces of buttcandy on speed dial on the linkpearl doesn't make one polyamorous. To quote from wikipedia: [/align] The final basic is such a huge one that it gets its own special little section. [align=left]A n d i t i s . . . [/align] [align=left]C o m m u n i c a t i o n [/align] [align=left]Big red text and everything to highlight its importance, with more obnoxious big text to follow. This also goes for IC as well as OOC if things are to go smoothly. I've met people who both ICly and OOCly are not comfortable having a character involved with another who is poly or participating in other open relationship practices. Which is their right and their comfort zones should be respected. [/align] [align=left]On a personal note, I try to let people know OOCly if I see their character getting close to one of mine who happens to be poly. Most of the time, players like to see how the RP goes but there have been those who were grateful for the heads up so it wasn't a shocker later. Some don't care for those types of surprises in roleplay. [/align] [align=left]ICly (using my own experience yet again), my characters are all rather open about what they're involved with. I have monogamous Lili, nonmonogamous and mostly tradtional Keeper of the Moon Xelra, etc. Some characters can be far more private about this sort of thing, and if so is when I point back to the above note on perhaps letting others know OOCly should it come up. Ultimately, it's up to the player how they want to handle it based on those involved, situation, blah blah blah. [/align] [align=left]If you have a character in a polyamorous dynamic with another: OOC communication is especially important. Unless said otherwise, usually a best bet to give your RP partner a heads up if a development occurs that could affect their character or your own based off a shift in their own personal land of poly. Sometimes though players and characters would rather not be in the know, and if that's been specified ahead of time then that's something else entirely. [/align] Until then? It never hurts to ask questions for clarity's sake and make sure everyone (both player and even character wise) are on the same page. First and last update until after Christmas festivities! Happy Holidays everyone!

[align=center]Welcome to the wonderful, frustrating, complex, beautiful, intricate, enigmatic world of... [/align] [align=center]P O L Y A M O R Y [/align] [align=left]Reason for starting this guide: Being as this is a game that has an entire race (miqo'te) dedicated to a nontraditional romantic structure as well as a player fanbase (RP wise) being of a far more accepting sort, I see polyamorous relationships sprout up all over in this RP community. Thought perhaps it might be nice to start on a guide adding a little real life experience to a concept that can open up a lot of interesting doors in roleplay! [/align] [align=left]Some links for funsies: [/align] [align=left]This one answers a lot of basic questions right off the bat. [/align] [align=left]This one is nifty as well. Made me giggle since its name comes from a US President. [/align] [align=left]^^^^ This topic is related to a lesser extent to polyamory. I did a research paper on it in college and has also been applied to human males (and to a lesser extent females). [/align] [align=left]Article on Polyamory via The Scientific American [/align] [align=left]History of Polyamory! Focal point in this is mostly females but you can easily get the gist even as a male. [/align] Credentials on the subject itself Polyamorous in real life. Been in multiple polyamorous relationships over the last few years both long distance based and local. Done multiple scenarios of polyamory in roleplay over the last 6-ish years. Studied the topic extensively as part of a Human Sexuality course with supervising sexologist Dr. Lindsey Doe at the University of Montana. Partook in various activities as part of above course, including attending sex positive seminars, watched this little gem for extra credit, polyamory meet groups of BDSM and non-BDSM varieties, and more. Interviewed long practicing polygroups and polyfamilies both for personal knowledge as well for a term paper. Obligatory Disclaimers [align=left]This guide is not meant in any way, shape, or form to tell any one person or party how they should or shouldn't RP this sort of dynamic. It's just as it's claimed, a guide. People can glean what knowledge what they would like from this or ignore it all together. [/align] [align=left]This guide is also not meant to start a hot topic debate on the subject itself. If that is something you would like to do, by all means make a separate thread for it here on the forums. Just not here on the guide, please. [/align] [align=left]Also, I am very aware that this is a fantasy world and that real world schematics shouldn't apply blah blah blah. However, for this topic itself, certain basics should at least be acknowledged and advised. Just like monogamy has some basic 'rules' (like no cheating, only one partner at a time, etc.), polyamory has much of the same. [/align] With these said, onward with the guide!

Lili was with the same person from the time she was 13 until she was like...mid twenties or so. She had three children and her whole love spectrum consisted of motherly love for her kids, romantic love with her husband, and familial love with her parents, adopted sister, and close friends. She tried the open/polyamorous thing for a while when she was with C'kayah but that was one of those things she did moreso to make things easier since, well, miqo'te and all that, and when it ended she stopped those kind of entanglements and never looked back. Back to monogamy she went! She is a very loving person overall. Its very hard for Lili not to love you in one form or another.

I fucking laughed.

"Is Room 317 still available?" "Yes ma'am. Would you like to reserve it specifically?" "No, but I was the prior tenant. I left something behind in the room, might I be able to fetch it?" The elezen looked uncertain, peering around the mostly empty tavern as if expecting to find some judgmental stare from someone higher up. "I'm not...sure that's a good idea," she said hesitantly, looking over to the Keeper woman that stood before her. She was rather pretty, she quietly admitted to herself, if only she smiled instead of just stared at her. Ready to fire off some reasoning about procedures and protocols and policies, a little chink sound was heard as a small bag of gil was plopped onto the desk before the receptionist. The Duskwright's eyes widened greedily at the sound of gil rattling around in the pouch. Wetting her lips, she slowly turned her gaze to the Keeper again with a far brighter smile as she reached into a drawer before sliding a key her way. "By all means, take your time," she said in a far more sultry tone then before. Xelra rolled her eyes before snatching the key from the desk and moving down the hall. The Duskwright rolled the coins around in her palm, not one to be above taking a bribe. Especially when all her superiors were out for a late dinner and wouldnt be back to close the main part of the tavern for another hour or so. The sound of heels against the floorboards had the woman's head turning to regard another Duskwright. This one tall even for her race, perfectly styled hair in an immaculate bun with a few tastefully positioned wisps curling down her forehead. "That was quick." "She wasn't expecting me behind the door." Brigit rolled her shoulders with a shrug. "It worked wonderfully, Amarette, thank you." The receptionist merely smiled, "But of course, sister! Are you just going to leave her on the floor or...?" Brigit gave a snort. Another elezen, this one a male, suddenly came from the hallway with a rather large sack hoisted over his shoulders. He regarded the two women impassively before striding out the entrance with Brigit close behind and waving over her shoulder. "Xelra Jinkjahl is going to be my house guest for a few days. See to it that the room is left as a warning, would you darling?" ((OOC Note: Since I'm leaving until the 27th for Christmas, leaving this behind for those involved with Xelra and the Dew Clan storyline! Happy holidays!))

((I'm off between now and the 27th for the holidays! Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas or, you know, whatever.)) He was sound asleep in her arms, but the fear still lingered. The anxiety, the angst, the pit in her stomach that any moment now Zaiaku would come through that door and take him away from her again. Lili ducked her head and nestled her face against his soft downy hair with a shaken sigh. "My heart...my little one..." Nearby, Mikh'a let out a sleepy gurgle from his crib. Tummy full of his ba-ba and his own little hand sewn teddy nestled into his side. Ado had his own cradled to him, and Lili gave herself a moment of pride that they both liked the Starlight gift she made for them. The moment of peace ended quickly, and the woman clung her Lalafell to her once again. Even if it ended with the Brass Blades carrying her away kicking and howling for murder, she'd never let someone lay a hand against any of her children ever again. Never again.

I'm pretty excited to see them A lot of people are disappointed from what I heard, but I think it's pretty awesome that they made a race specifically for the game and not a knock off from another FF (though I'd be lying if I said I didn't want bangaa or our bunbungirls. Hnnngh).

Lili doesn't have many scars. She has one across the bridge of her nose that was a close call while training with an axe and a few barely noticeable bite marks from her previous mate that never seemed to want to go away. Everything else are just knicks and cuts that come and go.

*rolls around on the floor and just whines*

Fucking. RNGeebus. Can suck my (insert expletive here). Seriously? I have high quality maxed out food buff, high quality everything from materia melded equipment to HQ equipment itself and the class weapon, and you STILL fail me -5 times in a (*Y$)*IR row- for Hasty Touch.

Normally I don't post to these sort of things but since it's been put out there as an actual forum thread... Might be best to take a step back for a while and reevaluate how you have been approaching things and topics with others. Going to someone to apologize and then insulting them in the same breath (using as an example) doesn't reflect badly on the other person. It reflects poorly upon yourself. If its RL stressors or if the game or community itself makes you feel this way, perhaps it's not a good fit or you need a few weeks to focus on other matters. It happens. I know there are games out there like EVE I will probably never fit in because from what I have heard and observed it doesn't seem like a scope I could agree with. Aldotsk does have a point: Insulting is never the way to go, even if you might feel justified.

*Just curls up into a little fangirling ball of OMFG and YOSHISENPAIPLZ*

OMG IS THAT YOURS?

Hmmm...*thinks of what to add* I've had good experiences with the game over all, save for bad connection nights and the like. The only real peeve I've ever experienced in this game usually has to do with some of the miqo'te RP I see. It's mentioned by NPCs and in lore and other sources that miqo are not really meant to be monogamous creatures. Someone posted here on the site an NPC screenie that had them saying it was very strange for a miqo'te female to only lay with one male. Soooo... While I get some of it is OOC with people unable to do nonmonogamy, others its because they don't wish to RP that way, and the rest is mostly related to character back story and preference... It seems like so many monogamous miqo'te find it abhorent and disgusting to see those who aren't and have to comment on it. And the numbers are significant enough to where sometimes I want to roll up a newspaper and bop them all on the head and go "IF YOU KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR OWN CULTURE YOU'D KNOW THIS WAS PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE. STOP ACTING LIKE THEY'RE ALL SINNERS." And on a less RP related note. I love playing MNK, but always sucks when you pop Perfect Balance and then some crazy shit happens and you have to waste the cooldown :cry:

For simplicity's sake, I've always had Lili identify first and foremost as a pugilist. Just makes it easier that way

Yay on the list! \o/ 1)Bear (especially a mama bear. Grrr maternal instincts!) 2)Lily (flower pun off her name! And they are pretty! ) 3)Feather 4)Jasmine 5)Bookshelf

AHHH FFFT. I JUST SAW THIS AND NOW I'M A PUDDLE OF DYSFUNCTIONAL GOOP. But for real, I am going to abuse this for a moment. . . .And go in Alphabetical Order so you derps don't sob at me about love, rainbows, and sunshine. C'kyza Nunh I don't really know what to say here, bro. You've put up with me soo much. Your character is glorious and wonderful to roleplay with. I enjoy his outlooks on life and watching as your character grows. You've always made an effort to attend the events I host and help me when I need you and that will always mean a lot to me. Phae'ra Nireath I'm only a brat because you are. For the time I have known you, you've not only been wonderful to work with, but assisted me in creating stories and complication for our characters to push through. I'm always humbled when people take the type of interest in my character(s) that you have. Thank you. <3 R'shenn Tia I'll be the first to admit I'm an incredibly picky person when it comes to allowing my characters to get anywhere close to romantic involvement. However, you've done nothing but support me on an OOC level. Your skills as a writer are amazing and I'd promote you as a person and as a storyteller to anyone I come across (and, well, I guess I'm doing that on a public forum sooooo. . .). For real, the depths, stories, and overall just amazing RP-ness (that's a term now, folks) is just . . . yes. So much time. So much fun. Sylas Mcloserface Peregrine So this guy whispers me one day and he's like, "Yo so what's a storyteller?" . . .And I'm not going to lie. I thought he was a creeper creeping. BUT I WAS WRONG. I was so very wrong. I love this human. He's been nothing but kind to me. He's put up with my characters and attended my events. I love his tumblr. I loves him. Ahhh, yes. #Fangirling. Xelra Jinkjahl OKAY SO LIKE. . . THIS IS ANOTHER RANDOM GONE RIGHT. This chick messages me over the forums and she's all, "So like hi I want to play a sibling maybe?" And I'm sitting here like, "Oh gawds. Strangers." And I did thing thing where I like, copy-paste her name into google and I'm like, "WHO IS THIS PERSON. WHERE DOES SHE COME FROM?" . . . Because that's the type of person I am. Scared and terrified of potential frightening people who wish to eat my soul with the ooc dramas. BUT I TOOK A LEAP OF FAITH. Best. Decision. Ever. This woman auuuugghhh. Yes. She's so supportive. She's a brilliant writer. I just. I can't. So I'm just going to like. . . stop adding names to this right now. I'll probably be back, because amazing people deserve recognition. BUT I AM SO HAPPY THIS THREAD EXISTS. Spread the love. Spread the happy. Love, rainbows, and sunshine people. Whee! -refuses to proof read. flees- *rolls around cackling in her chair* BWAHAHAHA YOU JUST HAD TO OUT-DO ME YOU LITTLE BRAT! :love:
