Let's Gush!

[DELETED jdl3932]

So all the Status Bar stupidity I have induced during my time here aside, I would like to thank @Lord Wraith. His original Crestwood Hollow, if I recall right, RP was the first one I joined on here and consequently the one that led me to writing more as a whole. While I did roleplay some on other sites before coming here, such as Fandom Wiki's, it is here that I think my writing skills have improved the most.

Also major thanks to @Phantomlink959 for introducing me to the site in the first place on one of said wiki's.

Congratulations to my people over in X-Men!

After 8 months, and involving a grand total of 19 player characters between 3 different role-plays (my own X-Men role-play as well as @Morose's Agents of SHIELD and Gifted role-play) but we have finally done it! They have officially saved the universe and changed reality back after Wanda Maximoff created the world of House of M! Who knows when these heroes will all cross paths again, but I assure you, it likely will happen. Now the group has both of the Maximoff twins on the side of good, and rumors are even around that the Scarlet Witch might join the Avengers.

I'd like to thank every single person involved in this crossover, even those who aren't from my own RP. This all wouldn't have even been possible without the dedication of those who were in the role-play. So a big thank you to @Morose@Nallore@FantasyChic@KazAlkemi@Kirah@Trainerblue192@Achronum! Without all of you, this crossover never would have happened. Especially to those of you who weren't even originally in the role-play, you took the time to participate in it, even though it meant spending a little more time every week to create a post for it, you all stayed with it, and for that I am glad.

X-Men: Darkness Rising, now after 1156 posts and over 2 years is heading into it's 5th story arc! To think when I first created the RP, I had actually planned on ending it after 5 arcs, but things change and now who knows? We might get another 5 after this if people still enjoy it and still want to keep going. This wouldn't be possible without the players, and here's to another great arc as the X-Men players move on from this arc to face their next great foe, the World-Eater Galactus!

Happy Birthday to the Gifted - One Year Strong!!!

@Nallore@FantasyChic@BlueSky44@Achronum@Trainerblue192@KazAlkemi@Framing A Moose

It's been an absolute honor to write with each and every one of you. Of all of the roleplays I have run, this one is easily my favorite. The functional dysfunctionality of the cast, the differences in perception of the characters compared to traditional superheroes, and just the sheer passion you all bring into each and every post makes me incredibly excited each week when I get to write a post here.

We're just 20 posts away from the magic 500 post mark and we're coming up to the thrilling conclusion of the season one storyline. I cannot wait to continue to push our characters in season two and season three - especially because even I never really know where this story may take us.

Excelsior!

We've done it! A process three hand a half years in the making!!! We've blown up Harrow's Tower!! Thanks so much to everyone in Cardinal Rift!

734 in character posts. 3 story arcs. 31 characters. 2 years.

We have finally completed the Darke Magyk trilogy! It wasn't easy to get to this point - in fact, it was incredibly difficult. We worked through losing roleplayers and out of character drama, but everyone showed up once a week and managed to post despite all of the distractions going on in their lives. This roleplay wasn't perfect, but everyone has grown so much since we started it. While we may be saying goodbye to the Castle for now, I don't doubt that the characters will be seen again some day.

For now, our heroes deserve a break - they've earned it!

And of course, a special shout out to my co-GM, Blue. She covered for me when I had exams, listened to my terrible ideas, and kept me calm when I needed it. I couldn't ask for a better friend.

I've been holding off on doing my "New year Hype" because I was waiting for Danganronpa: Tower of Carnage to clear the fifth case. And now that it has! We can pop some corks and drink with dorks!

It's not easy to stick with an RP that's been around for 3 solid years, but @Mateotis and @Majoras End are the reason why I can continue this RP. I did say I would finish this RP so long as I had one player, and I'm fortunate enough to still have two! I think this is going to be the year Davis is defeated, and I'm kind of excited to see it happen.

Outside of my own projects, I've participated in a few. Mostly the series of magical girl roleplays run by @Ariamis, who was also a former player in my Danganronpa RP. And his roleplay is also on its third year and is still running strong! He must be doing something right. Rather than tagging all the players, I'd just like to tag the two who go above and beyond to make it interesting for me. Who would be @ERode and @Rune_Alchemist. Both are welcome additions to the roster, and on some days they are the reason I don't quit, haha!

But roleplays do end, or at the very least, players tend to go their separate ways. But it doesn't always have to be forever. I've had the pleasure of talking with @Melo recently, and it's nice to know he's doing well. And while I haven't talked to her in some time, I'd like to give a shout out to @Aewin for all the work she did for Tower of Carnage. We still use her banners, and of everyone who left, she is most sorely missed. And I'm unsure if he'll ever read this, but @Warpcircuit was great fun when he was with us. Even if he had me clawing my scalp out some days.

And now I'm getting to the person I really want to talk about. The one I was thinking about before I started writing these out. I'm not sure if it's the best or worst I saved for last, but it's @FamishedPants. He's been with me through thick and thin, he assassinates my brain cells via shit posts, and might just be the tism incarnate. It's hard to say if we are rivals or friends at this stage, and I honestly don't care. gunna kill silhouette this season, cutie <3

This may not have been as impressive as hail HYDRA or Age of Ultron, but the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. have successfully completed another volume - 'Twas the Fight Before Christmas! I'm so proud of all of you and I hope you enjoyed the Christmas themed break from death and betrayal, as we'll be right back at it with the Terrigen Bomb!

Now THAT puts a smile on my face~!

Excelsior!

Figured I would take a moment to gush about the amazing writers in my roleplay, Meadow University and how we have reached our first milestone of 100 posts.

The climb was slower than we thought and, at times, difficult. We weren't sure if we would make it there or not. I know there was some bits of doubt that crept into my head, but we persevered! And here we are! Not only is the server lively sometimes but the roleplay also is alive and well!

To everyone, those who joined at the beginning and also those who joined after the roleplay started, thank you for everything and I look forward to more milestones and more amazing posts!

Well, more of a few things, two very important things that we need to celebrate revolving around my X-Men: Darkness Rising RP!

The first thing about it? The RP is now officially three years old! We've had our ups and downs along the way since the RP first started way back when. I didn't ever think that the RP was going to last for three years, especially considering that at some points, I hate to admit it, I thought about pulling the plug on the RP. I'm so glad that I didn't, since it has been one hell of a ride that I've enjoyed running, and am glad that it seems like the RP might last for a while still! That leads to my next thing that we accomplished.

Three years. 1355 IC posts. 5 story arcs.

We have completed our fifth story arc, the Earth has been saved from the World-Eater Galactus and now our heroes have earned themselves some downtime as one of the characters and a NPC have now tied the knot and everyone is at their wedding reception! What could go wrong right? _{Unless you count the Cards Against Humanity game that someone snuck into the wedding and are now playing with the God of Thunder Thor, what could possibly be wrong with that?}

No, our heroes have a lot more to handle, and even though I'm not sure too many of our players have noticed that I've officially changed the title of the RP to reflect what sort of adventures we'll be having in the upcoming arcs, or the OOC change for the next arc which features the God of Mischief Loki appearing to cause trouble for our heroes!

I am so proud of the players in the RP, even some who haven't been around from the start, I love that we have so many people in the RP and that we're having another person already joining us for the next arc! I'm so excited for what you all will see in the upcoming arcs, and I can tell you now, there will be something that is connecting these next ones even more then the last group (the last set of course not really being connected to each other at all in reality).

So here's to another year of the RP and hope that our heroes can pull this off in...
