[OOC] Pieces of 8: Bones of the North

[Unlit]

Well, I guess I'm just diving in, then. An old motto of mine -- when in doubt, post. (After I get one written, at least.)

[Canoli]

A heads up; I'm writing a post in response to the ones that have been posted after mine, as it seems appropriate right about now, before too many people interjects.

Ahh, the troubles of having a lot of PC at the same place! ^^

Added asterisks at breaks as a compromise under your guidance, LT

[The Fair Lady]

Posted! :D Aethelreda is kind of a stickler for the rules but she wishes she could help. :(

[Hellis]

Henry did not try to shame the giant. He was giving a "tangible reason" ;D

Henry would never use business language to make thinly veiled accusations. >_>

Right Henry? RIght!

[Igraine]

First and foremost, congratulations on how well MEPS went for you, DC! Delayed entry program I assume, but still an exciting time nonetheless, and all the very best to you!

I looked over the larger collab post in titanpad yesterday, and thought the three writers were most excellent since I could followed the flow of their words like a cohesive novel written in third person omniscient, but *shrugs* To each their own, I suppose.

And jello or mud, Lil. Jello or mud, your choice and we'll throw down.

Thanks for heads up on the name there too Dot - sooooooooo much eye candy.

And no matter what anyone chooses, the whole thing is about what your characters would do and think - never be 'sorry' for it! It's RP, and if there's no conflict/tension/disagreement/struggle, then where's the fun, I ask you?

[Hellis]

Well spoken ;D

I think my only problem with thel arge collabe was that it switched between third person into first person all of the sudden.

[Igraine]

Oh, and only to add? I adore Adam, to the bottom of my soul I do - what a magnificent character Unlit!

And thank you Hellis, and it's true, there was one piece by Wordsmith that slipped to first person, but since I know his style I think I just 'added that in' as just another factor while I was reading.

[Hellis]

All charachters are pretty darn amazing so far. I loved your post Canoli.

[Unlit]

Likewise for Veti! It was your lovely post that inspired mine, btw.

[Hellis]

I think the Ok Cupid page for half the company reads: "Lost loved one. pls help" XD

[Unlit]

But in general, I'm loving the conflict of opinions that is emerging in the IC. Kudos to Canoli for spearheading it.

Chocolate pudding? All the fun of mud but tasty!

Oh that was a scrumptious post. I loved it. Eve, how perfect.

[Canoli]

It sure is more fun to write posts when I find it entertaining to read others' posts, and this has been the case thus far. So thanks! :D

As for the conflicts, I've been doing what Igraine so well put a few posts above mine:

Also, a little bit of clarification about Dunn, OOC-wise: Dunn understands emotion, but rarely considers them. He is old and ancient, and his curse along with thousands of years worth of experiences - fun, sad, harrowing and exciting - has numbed his feelings regarding all but those few things that he holds close to heart. He has loved and lost, and everything in between.
Yet as a giant, temporarily freed from his curse, he is in far more contact with his own emotions - for better or worse.

I might just go and make up a personality section in the CS to cover things like this for the future...

[dreamingflowers]

Ughhhh, I'm torn where do I go! So many great posts. I have to say I'm intimidated quite a bit.

[Hellis]

I like it Canoli. I imagine I would be pretty numbed by living that long. It makes complete sense, I can't wait to see him go full Giant later though!

[AmongHeroes]

It's great to see both the IC and OOC jumping! Wonderful stuff today.

[dreamingflowers]

I'm going to post tomorrow, the amazingness of the IC has me a bit overwhelmed.

[Crabmeat]

Oh Unlit, Adam's story was so tragic T_T

All such beautiful posts guys, I always get excited when I see another post up ^_^
