This was the third time I've tried to initiate some sort of dialogue with An-Hasst and it was the third time this attempt was aborted by time skip.


A fail-safe way I can recommend is to do a collab. You don't even need google docs to do it. Just Private Conversation will do. That way, you can get everything into one post and Poohead won't be able to shut it down

I don't think me or my characters have been described as snarky before...

(looks up definition)

Is that a good thing?

It's all fun and games until it gets too real...

So best to vent my super snarky ability in a fun and constructive escapist manner!

Ooh, I think I get it. Is Alice based on you?

EDIT: Don't worry. Either way, the both of you are awesome in my book

Hey guys, I've made a few changes as of today to my debut post.

Jezebeth is now not as big a rock star as she used to be. She's known throughout half of Andred, not the entire kingdom, though stories of her are still filtering to the other countries.

Also, because I like torturing people, I gave her a bloody nose and mouth to complement the cut on her cheek.

It's hard to make a character wholley unlike oneself (at least for me) that's still satisfying to play. So yeah, we probably have a lot in common, which means if we ever found ourselves in the same party we'd probably have to death battle to see who stays (that's how it works, right?)

Heh... You better hope that I'm not thinking the same way as you, or you'd be role playing with a Succubus. 😈

But seriously, I guess it just takes a lot of practice to write characters far different from you. The protagonist of my debut novel is pretty much my Alice Peerbane.

And that's with about a dozen years of intermittent practice. I guess it just wasn't important at that time for me to come up with a protagonist who's that different from me.

Well, surely a protagonist is just the eyes of a novel, isn't it more important what they see?

Not necessarily. A protagonist is usually very active in the plot of a novel.

Anyway, regarding the RP. Looks like you've forced my hand. I would have to post in response to your post. You've single-handedly moved the entire RP, @The Fated Fallen! Well done!

EDIT: Also, Jezebeth's nose isn't broken. Her beauty and latent unnatural allure had stayed the hand of the guard enough not to break it.

I like the bit about the Gambeson though. Those are some good details.

EDIT2: I'm such an OCD person :D But I guess that's the benefit of having only one RP to answer to. Anyway, I'm hoping that an additional post from me might open up more possibilities for interaction, and dispense more information for you guys to use.

I am trying to imagine a confrontation between myself and my Skayleigh. However I'm neither way above 7' nor is my life revolving around anger management. Also I don't have pointy ears, but even if I had I could still claim to be a Vulcan and greet everyone with 'Live long and prosper.'. Most importantly however my name isn't as prone to name-mangling as An-Hasst's.

In other words: I'd loose the death battle even before the first ad break.

Another problem: I'm currently encountering a writer's block.

The best counter to the writer's block is to keep writing. Force yourself to write and you'll get through the hard phase. If you stay where you are, you'll never get past that rough stretch of road. - Endorsed by every writer ever.

Exactly. For all you know, an epiphany is just a few words away.

I find that the more you conquer writer's block promptly, the less you'll be affected by it in the future. Nowadays, it's like it doesn't exist for me anymore. It's like greasing a gun, so to speak. I guess your mind will turn faster and in more creative ways the more you train it.

*Dust clears*

Minor edit: I've added a tiny part that confirms that Jezebeth does indeed retains her teeth. :)
