Tea With Voldemort

( about me. )

In honor of Canada Day, and because I am not a Canadian citizen, I present a (slightly) dirty drabble to Igpy, who is lovely and amazing. And also Canadian. ♥


PS: I think my icon is appropriate.

But seriously, I want to. Make an RP. Thing is, I've never even modded a game let alone created one, and I'm not sure there's really a player demographic for the kind of game that I want to make. I was in a wild west game, once, and it seemed pretty active -- though it was awhile ago and I was hoping it was still around but it's not. I actually can't even remember the name.

So yeah. It will be loosely based off of Rockstar's fucking AMAZING new game, Red Dead Redemption. And by loosely I mean I'm basically borrowing the setting, changing the name of the town, and using some of the larger, gamewide plot arcs (like the fact that it's the last of the "American frontier," the new government/marshals coming in and taking over the local law of shoot first, talk later, &c.).

Here's the rub: I suck at graphics. And I feel like most of the games I join are co-modded and have people already wanting to join before it's even open. I'm not asking for pity, but I do want you guys to answer one thing: do you think people would join this sort of game?

And if you say yes, it means you have to. Just kidding. But seriously.

I want to start a wild west RP.

Guess what?

My last paper of the semester is due next week.

Which means I have the RP itch.

DIRECT ME TO SOME GOOD GAMES, GUYS. Preferably 'Arry Pottah, but OC/multi-fandom is okay too.

I miss RP. But I've just felt so... uninspired? Lately? Like I can't get into my character's heads? Even Dominique was sort of slipping away from me at the end.

And all of my RP friends are far more talented than me and so I always feel like I suck.

Pick one of my characters and I'll answer:

1. What would your character kill for? What would they die for?
2. What would they refuse to do under any circumstances? Why?
3. What do they dream about?
4. Are they happy in the relationship they're in, or are they wishing for something more?
5. What’s their biggest fear?
6. What single object would they be most hard pressed to part with? Why?
7. What is their fondest memory?
8. What is their worst memory?
9. What or who was were their most significant influence?
10. What do they believe makes a successful life?
11. What makes them laugh?
12. What are their religious views?
13. What is their greatest strength?
14. Do they have a fatal flaw? If so, what is it?
15. Who is the most important person in their life?
16. If they died, who would miss them most? How would they die?

It always makes me sad when a game I love ends.

Revelation closed its doors the other day, and I hate to say that I felt it coming... but I felt it coming. Even with the amazing players and super amazing mod bilo (Igpy, you rock), it was just time for it to end. Things happen.

I always have some regrets when games end. I wish I had been more active. I wish I had offered more help. I wish I had gotten to know more of the other players better, even though my characters didn't really interact with them, and I wish that I knew I would be in a game with them again. I wish I didn't sound so creepy when I say that.

But with endings come beginnings. A new game is in progress and, although there's no set open date, I'm willing to wait as long as it takes to have the game in great form before opening to ensure, or at least give a great chance of, success. I hope to see some familiar faces there. And if not there, then elsewhere in the RP world.

Now I need to find another game!

I forgot about this thing for a couple of weeks.

I have a terrible addiction to applying for games between semesters and then quitting the ones I'm not really into come school time. Though I'm only in ONE game right now and it's brilliant and I'm not leaving it. And the only people who read this are from there.

So maybe I should join more games if only to get more friends for this thing. Though I'm thinking that's not a valid reason to join an RP.

I really want to use Melanie Laurent as a PB for something but I'm not sure what. I haven't really seen anything that's caught my eye.

I realized today that I won't apply for games that:

A) Have bad grammar/spelling in their ads (I just read one that said "steampunk-esk" instead of "steampunk-esque")
B) Have shitty graphics
