fuckin

hnnnnnnngggg sorry sorry writing writing

[c3p-0h]

sorry guys, a combination of finals and black friday shopping (my mom drags me) has been kicking my ass and now i'm sick. everything i have to do is due on 12/5 so hopefully after that i'll have time to actually fuckin post. thanks for your patience >.<

[drewccapp]

I totally understand that. Definitely a brutal schedule! Things always seem to slow down during the holiday season on this site anyway. Something about people having lives or something.

[drewccapp]

Happy Holidays to you all! I hope two have a safe and excellent holiday season!

[c3p-0h]

happy holidays my wonderful patient writing partners <3

_{life is crazy why are holidays so hectic but maybe there will be a christmas miracle~~~}

[drewccapp]

Seems like life is generally crazy for all of us in some shape or form! XD

[c3p-0h]

that's certainly a word for it. i'm in another play! i'm dying! i'm sorry i haven't posted yet! how are you two other than being irritated in me?

[drewccapp]

Haha! I wouldn't say irritated is an effective descriptor. I'm insanely patient, and I've been busy building a business. I found an RP I'm very happy with, so I'm able to maintain my itch to RP now that my standards for RPs has been brought up wicked high thanks to Lantern and Mokley's other RPs.

It looks like life has pretty much eaten Mokley up as she has been on very very sparsely. Hopefully things can get rolling soon with this one. :3

[c3p-0h]

happy quarantine yall

[drewccapp]

Jokes on you! I'm a gamer. I don't leave my apartment except to buy the groceries that aren't there anymore.

[Mokley]

Aw man I wish I were quarantined. I work for the health department -- I've got overtime and everything is chaos. 😂 Stay safe!!

[drewccapp]

@Mokley@c3p-0h Hey, so I'm working on a YouTube channel that I will soon be launching (now that I know how I want to present the whole thing). The idea of the channel is to tell stories I have had a hand in. Most of them will be ones only I have worked on, but I also want to include collaborative works I love with all of my heart. This RP is one of those.

I don't want to be rude and just post up videos of our work without getting permission from as many of the still active members of this RP as I can. So I would love to have your blessings to do this (seeing as you two are the only ones to have been online within the last week XD).

My goal is to tie up the "disappearances" of those that stopped posting in the RP and give the ending of this tale justice for all involved.

[Mokley]

That's awesome that you're launching a YT channel! It sounds like a cool concept, I hope it really takes off! 💚

I'm not positive I fully understand what you intend to do (and thanks so much for asking!) but it seems like you'll be shifting bits of the story, concluding other characters' roles, and creating an ending?

Honestly, that sounds more like a remix story. I'd totally support you just creating a story that's heavily influenced/inspired by this RP, and credit all the great players who made it what it is. By altering what's actually posted, you're creating closely-canon fanfic to fill in the gaps that you found, that is also clearly your own speculation and not how the story actually happened.

It's a subtle difference, but one that I think is important, respectful, and would be a compliment to everyone who contributed and cared about this story. On a personal level, I'm not comfortable with someone else writing an official ending to this RP or other players' characters, but if you're presenting it as a fan work, absolutely go for it.

[drewccapp]

To clarify, I'd basically be remixing it so it could be cohesively spoken without conversations between characters sounding weird and you are spot on in regards to concluding other characters' roles and an ending. I am definitely looking to be as closely to and honorable to cannon as possible. I 100% will be crediting everyone's work.

I certainly understand your comfort-level in regards to writing an official ending, so I will definitely have a disclaimer that this is too be finished and deviations in my rendition are purely a fan work. Considering how Lantern has been resurrected so many times it would be awesome to see this come to an official conclusion in time.

[c3p-0h]

i'm good with it, and i'd love to see a finished product! (if you need a high-pitched female voice you can feel free to use mine lol)

i'm a creative media student too with experience in videography and sound design, so lmk if you want any help!

[drewccapp]

I will certainly DM you if I do. Odds are I might considering I'm mostly new to a lot of this (which has been a benefit in a lot more ways that you might imagine). I've made a couple vlog channels on YT before, and I'm running a roleplay gaming channel. Sometimes I just don't like my voice in some of the content I've created as I have a bit of a nasal tone. It actually disturbs me how my voice sounds so different from what I hear when I speak. XD Just a bit of cognitive dissonance is all.

[c3p-0h]

How’s everyone’s pandemic going?

[Mokley]

Yooo c3! Honestly I just had a covid test on thursday after a health scare, turned out negative, I'm still sitting at home eating all my food, haha. Oy. Hope you're doing better!
