TET: A fish called Wanda, a sheep called Violet

[Ardrentt]

Seriously mentally rehearsing how I am going to approach my department head tomorrow to discuss transferring, etc.

I feel a bit more at ease knowing that he is leaving at the end of the semester and he is allegedly very LGBT friendly, something that I did not expect.

Well, he might've just gotten fed up with his work for personal reasons and did not sign the anti LGBT contract out of that alone.

Good luck regardless.

[Chrinthanium]

Fixed your typo...

And those were RP posts, not TET posts, silly lamb.

My point stands.

Ask DLN. My RPing is... decent. And, I keep it very interesting. My characters are never straight forward types. You would know if you ever RP'd me with me, Your Sheepishness.

Best of luck with all of that. Just sorry you're having to deal with it at all.

I'm mostly concerned with his mother's seemingly endless barrage of reason why he shouldn't. Then again, I can kind of sort of understand her concern.

I remember when I used to RP.

I was a dumb dumb and had this hilariously over the top godmod that I question if anyone but myself took more seriously. :U

It's been a very chaotic semester and the direction the college is wanting to go seems like a very sudden change in how they've been in the past.

I prefer to do character RP's. I'm a character kind of guy. I like my characters to move the plot, not the other way around. I believe it gives me more control over what's happening and who is doing what. Of course, there will be a few moments of Author Appeal tossed in along with Mr. Fanservice.

Well... yeah, that's probably where I went wrong; I was doing like a very military-y RP at the time, so... bleh.

I have done character-centered RPs before and those never really went well either, at least not when I was doing it with my main nation, if only because, in retrospect, I was probably trying to push too much of the same personality on everyone... or at the least, it felt that way.

But yay characters... and all.

I'm probably more of a plot over characters guy, but yeah sure the characters are important too.

You can have amazing characters in plot-driven stories. I will say it can be difficult to give characters very different personalities, particularly when writing as opposed to acting. Of course, you can simply change the way the speak to reflect some of their personality differences as well as how they react.

Perhaps so... though to be fair, I feel like back then, I was less mindful of the notion of, you know, other people existing to begin with... like, that I was filtering it through simply seeing them as the effects they have on my life, which isn't wrong but obviously incomplete.

But yeah, great characters can exist in plot driven stories; great plots in character driven stories, stuff like that.

And I suppose that could happen... though then again, I'd only really written narratives of anything sporadically and for RPs, generally only one character because I start getting really worried about if I'm repeating character types if I dump too many characters into the thread.

[Dylar]

You ever had that moment where you went "I'm gonna look up conspiracy theories for 9/11 and for JFK's assassination?" So many fun conspiracies.

The KISS method: Keep It Simple, Silly. A few characters with the normal peppering of background people who do not have to be particularly developed because they are, like the furniture, part of the background. That's all most stories generally have to begin with.

Between the two you should have enough reading material for years.

Well, that was when I was involved in F7 RPing, so... yeah; rotation of characters was always going to be a thing there and I have generally had thoughts of stories mostly dealing with like one or two people because I don't feel confident in even imagining how a group dynamic would work because I'm so rarely in them.

[Abserdia]

JFK did 9/11 after he faked his assassination in order to escape America to move to the sea where the sheeple think Finland is located.

Eh, if you've ever watched an anime involving 3, 4, or 5 color-coded people fighting against a Big Evil, then you can see how group dynamics work. Of course, generally there are very basic roles each member of that kind of group should kind of fit into. Then again, you can always invert the trope if you wish. That is the great thing about being a writer. Like Bob Ross always said in his painting show on PBS, "This is your world and you're in charge of it. If you want something to be there, you can put it there." He also said, "There are no mistakes, only happy accidents."

I'm going to spin the "My program director is leaving and the program is going to die" angle and see where that gets me.

That is indeed true, yes.

Perhaps you should pray asking God to open your mother's heart to this.

Sorry, didn't mean to go off on a tangent. I know a lot of theory about writing. At the end of the day, I'm the worst when it comes to actually writing because my internal critic is very, very domineering.

External critics can also be picky

It happens sometimes. I sometimes have those moments. Particularly if something important to me gets a bit fouled up.
