.Also, as you all probably aren't as oblivious and dense as I am you probably have already noticed, but omg the LGBT representation in this RP is astounding. You guys are lovely and I'm not alone. <3 *Goes to cry happily in his bed*

Awww thanks Haggis <3

But yeah, all of the characters so far have made me reallllllyyyyy happy. Especially since I'm a bisexual WOC. I crave diversity, and many people, even if they are LGBT choose not to create characters that represent them in rp. Personally, I can see myself with a man or a women in my future ,and I wanted characters that represented me, which I have so rarely made in the past. Also, its iffy; if one out of every ten people you meet is LGBT then I feel like rps should have us more; we're pretty normal. And I don't blame straight people for not rping or writing about us. For some, it's hard to put themselves in the shoes of something they feel so alienated from, especially since the media implies same-sex relationships are so vastly different from "normal" relationships, and that bisexual women are sexual fiends that prey on innocent virgin girls and "turn them". 

It's also sad that many LGBT people chose to rp a character of the opposite gender, so the character is straight, and the rper can have a romantic interest of their gender preference, just to avoid being judged. I've found, recently, if at least one brave person takes the step to introduce an LGBT character, then other people will shyly join in. The fact that out of those of you who applied, many of you chose to go with characters who are things other than straight, makes me super happy. It also makes me happy people chose to go with straight characters. Like, yassssss, let's represent the [i]real[/i], [i]real[/i], world here. [i]Diversity[/i]. But anyway, I'm ecstatic.

On another note, at this point if you asked me, I'm [i]really[/i] craving a girlfriend right now; went to a restaurant today, hot, hot, hot, [i]hot[/i] waitress, and I kept giving her the eye. God, she was a hottie. And at one point, I think she realized I was checking her out, and kept looking back to see. Such a hottie.

Okay, but enough of that. I decided to play it safe and study. Midterm went alright. I'm going to write up a post now. We can get started. Also to answer your question Sixsmith, I think when we've got a nice established group, I'll be open to more characters from our present rpers. It would be weird if we didn't introduce new faces at some point. And eventually, we'll open back up to new rpers.
