"Sweetheart, you made it!"

Freeze!

Thu, 23 Aug 2012 06:30:00 -0500

I don’t really know what to say, but I’m gonna start by informing you that I’m putting a temporary time freeze on the roleplay, because…

Please refer to the last admin update. Meghan was the only one who gave me anything.
Communicate with your roleplay partner! I can see plots brewing all over the dash. There’s so much potential! I know that if our dash stays dead but time keeps tumbling forward, then a lot of plot ideas will fall through. So, during this temporary time freeze, try and talk to your roleplay partner about your plot ideas so that when we start again, you can be off without a hitch.
We’re just falling apart at the seams, people. From my post a while ago, it seemed like a lot of you were still here, but I’m not seeing it.
If you’re busy, please inform me either by messaging the main or posting in the OOC blog. Trust me! I’m not gonna get on your case if you’re busy, because I completely understand roleplaying having to fall second to personal engagements.

HWYM Update.

Wed, 15 Aug 2012 01:27:13 -0500

If it’s not too much trouble, could everyone do their best to send in a quick update on their character? I’m working on a new ‘Here’s What You Missed’, but I feel like I won’t be able to do it justice without a little help from everyone. c: Thank you!

Event: A Series of Unfortunate Events.

Mon, 13 Aug 2012 21:46:30 -0500

Ah, September. School’s started, summer is nearing its close, and slowly but surely routines are being rebuilt. For most of the month, everyone’s plans appeared to be going as usual. Nothing changed. The days got easier and easier as time went on. Until now. No one’s quite sure what’s brought about this sudden change in luck but it looks as if no one can get a decent break anymore. Suddenly, alarm clocks don’t want to work properly, customers are bossier than usual, plans aren’t going as planned, and everyone’s days have turned into one big series of unfortunate events.

What’s been happening to you?

[ To summarize: everyone is having a bout of bad luck right now. It can be a handful of minor inconveniences or a major one, if that’s what you want. Have fun! ]

If you're still with us,

Sat, 11 Aug 2012 03:13:40 -0500

please like this post!

I’m hoping to get something out here in a couple of days for everyone to play around with and bring the dash back to life, but I have some personal troubles that I need to sort out this weekend so please bear with my inability for creativity at the moment. Until then…

GROUP HUG!

I LOVE YOU GUYS!

Bring it in, team!

Sat, 28 Jul 2012 02:12:02 -0500

Okay. I don’t know what happened, but suddenly everyone poofed. We were doing so well there for awhile! I know you guys all love this roleplay as much as I do, so let’s pull together now and work back into it. On that note, please unfollow the following due to inactivity:

Christian Moretti
Kurt Hummel
Dave Karofsky

Also, has anyone heard from Eryn or Allie? I talked to Eryn a while ago and she said she’d be back on soon, but I haven’t heard from her since. Our dash seems incomplete without our Pucktana duo!

Now, there’s really nothing I can do to force you guys to be more active and I feel that sometimes you guys abuse the fact that you won’t be replaced. I’m not asking for much, and if you’re busy then I completely understand, but I need you to tell me when you’re going to be absent so that I know you’re not just blowing us off. I love you all so much and I hate to see us fall apart like this…

So, let’s get back on our feet, shall we? I really want to get back to advertising, but I don’t want potential role-players to look at us and see a bunch of inactive accounts when they go through the master list. I’m thinking of a little event at the moment to help us get into the swing of things, but I haven’t settled on anything yet, so until then…Let’s do our best. I BELIEVE IN YOU!

Future Week.

Mon, 23 Jul 2012 08:40:25 -0500

[As mentioned, this is what I would post at the beginning of future week. Of course, I would be open to suggestions from you guys on what else should be added to ensure that the week would run smoothly and with as little confusion as possible. Thank you! You’re all awesome and I love your faces and stuff. :) ]

Future week is a special week set aside to allow people to para future events that they may not be able to para if we continue moving forward in regular time.

Basic Rules:

To avoid confusion, Future Week is restricted to only paras/chatzys. Normal dash conversations/texts/PMs/etc. are not allowed.
All paras must be put under a read more and include the following information in each post:

Characters → Who’s involved?
Location → Where are they?
Time Frame → How many years in the future? What month? General time information so people know what’s what when reading. (Note: since we’re 7 years in the future right now, the current year is 2019)
General Information → A general summary of the para events.

so, basically, a bit like threading but you do not actually have to do the threading format if you do not wish to.

Communicate! Be sure to talk not only to your rp partner but anyone who may be affected by the events you’re writing about. I don’t want anyone being upset because a para mentions an outside character’s reaction that was not discussed and their assumption is wrong.
All posts relating to future week must be tagged as ‘Event: Future Week 01’
Have fun! Do group chatzys! Write ridiculously fluffy paras! Or, ridiculously angsty ones!

Additional Info:

No one is required to take part in the future week. Normal dash conversations/texts/etc. will still take place and are encouraged by everyone to ensure that no one feels left out. Replies to paras that not related to future week are also allowed.

Future/Past Week.

Mon, 23 Jul 2012 08:36:00 -0500

Based on your responses, it sounds like you guys want to have the future and/or past week as soon as possible. My suggestion is that we might want to have it either the week before Harmony’s show or the week after. So, either September 12-18 or September 26 - October 2nd. I feel like both dates would provide enough time for people to talk to each other before they happen.

As for whether we should have them at the same time, it seems that you guys are either unsure or for it. Personally, I agree that having them at the same time is confusing and provides that the week may be less productive because I feel like people who have both future and past events they want to roleplay will be running around trying to do too many paras at once. Of course, it should be noted that people are not required to participate in future/past week and normal activity will occur on the dash as these events are limited to paras only.

In a second, I will be posting what the outline for what future week would look like since I wrote it up a while ago. I hope that reading over it will help any confusion people may have and, if you could, just drop your opinion on future/past week in the OOC blog. :)

Reply to that post, you guys!

Sat, 21 Jul 2012 23:06:36 -0500

I demand it be so!

Future/Past Week.

Fri, 20 Jul 2012 14:45:24 -0500

Okay, now that I’m back….Let’s get this swinging!

I know there’s been some debate over when we should have future or past week and whether we should have them at the same time. That is why I am turning to you, my lovelies, to try and make a decision!

When do you feel we should have future and/or past week?
Should we have future and past week at the same time?

Wonderful audition, Brett! I love Dave and I’m very happy to know there’s someone who wants to roleplay him here. In other words, we’re very happy to welcome you to our roleplaying family! c: Please be sure to send in your page within 24 hours and submit your e-mail so I can add you to the OOC blog.

Canon Form:

OOC Information:
Name/Alias: Brett
Age [optional]: 26
An example roleplay account: I should warn you that this character is an insufferable asshole and not at all indicative of how I would play Dave. Also, it’s a smut RP. I apologize for that as well, but it’s the account I use the most.http://thelunar-effect.tumblr.com/

Activity Level [1-10]: 10
Time Zone: EST

IC Information:
Desired Character: Dave Karofsky
Any changes you would like to make [if any (for example, Rory didn’t start dating Sugar in Heart)]:
Detailed Bio of the Character [what has your character been up to for the past 7 years?]: For all of the challenge high school proved, college improved ten fold. With his own latent intelligence, something he managed to tap into once he focused less on high school sports and more on his school work, it was rather easy for him to get into a college that suited him. He was no Einstein, of course, as there was always that part of him that remained the eternal jock, but it was good enough to get him by.

When it came time for David to pick his major, there was nothing that spoke to him more than one brief conversation in a hospital bed and a daydream summoned by one Kurt Hummel. A sports agent, that was what they’d invisioned together. A man entering his cushy office to kiss him, and a young boy rushing into his arms. So, when it came time to pick his major, the choice was easy. Most of his time spent at OSU, between homework and attending football games, was spent on his phone, texting Kurt.

The two men saw each other rarely, mostly on breaks and that one fateful night he showed up to his first showcase with flowers and a neatly pressed suit, but it didn’t take long after his graduation for David to realize that he’d begun to factor the other man into his decisions. He got a good job, his dream job, with a company called Vanguard, and he managed some of the most prominent names in football. Most importantly, however, he and Kurt made the decision to move in together, finally recognizing themselves as part of the relationship that’d been years in the making.
Preferred Ships: Kurtofsky, Dave/male
Anti Ships: Dave/Male

Writing sample [IC is preferred, but it’s not required. 2+ solid paragraphs - past tense, third person]:

(I’m sorry this isn’t in character.)

Cohen could feel it the instant the full moon reached its peak, the pressure that seeped into his very bones until he was certain that he might burst right out of his skin. Every inch of him trembled, and the sheer intensity of the sudden pain coursing through his every nerve was enough to sweep his feet directly out from beneath him. Cohen knew from the beginning, despite his last attempts to enjoy what remained of his humanity with Asher and Ethan, that there would be no dulling this, no buffer to offer even the smallest salvation from the transformation.

Cohen, the man who could be counted upon to say or do anything, the man who challenged every situation and typically managed to dominate, was nothing more than a shaking, naked heap upon the cool patch of damp grass. His vision blurred, the low pounding in his head rising progressively in intensity until it was a hammer clicking its way mercilessly across the inside of his skull, and even as his head began to swim, he tried desperately to focus his attention upon the two submissives located nearby. He could hear them screaming so loudly that it left a ringing in his ears. At least that’s what he thought. It took him several long minutes and an uncomfortable hoarse feeling in his throat to realize that the screaming was, infact, coming from him. It was the piercing sound of his pain, his rage.

The sickening crack of bones was loud enough that it echoed beyond the treeline, jolting his entire body as they visibly protruded beneath the thin layer of flesh that sought desperately to keep them contained. It wasn’t enough to know that there were others with him. They were, undoubtedly, feeling the same things he was, and alone he was left to endure the impossible rearranging of his anatomy, the dark, thick fur springing from his every pore.

At last, the beast claimed him, a demonic howl signifying the end of his transformation.

Anything else?: Lion. I think a friend of mine already asked you if it was alright for me to apply for Dave because Tumblr ate my message to you about it. I’m sorry if I’m wrong about that and hope you’ll consider me anyway.

here's kurt!

Everybody, follow Kurt!

Kurt Hummel - Accepted.

Absolutely beautiful audition, Meg! I kept hoping we’d find a good Kurt since I love his character so I was extremely excited to read your audition. We’re very happy to welcome you to our roleplaying family. :) Please send in your page within 24 hours and submit your e-mail so we can add you to the OOC blog.

OOC Information:
Name/Alias: Meg
Age: old. >.< 23
An example roleplay account: this one! It’s fairly new and the rp isn’t that active, but you’d get the idea

Activity Level [1-10]: 7-8ish
Time Zone: PST (LA time)

IC Information:
Desired Character: Kurt Hummel
Any changes you would like to make :
Detailed Bio of the Character [what has your character been up to for the past 7 years?]: After graduation was a hard time for Kurt. He didn’t get into NYADA, though he did get into a few of the other schools he’d applied to (who would have thought that Columbia wanted Kurt Hummel? Honestly.) He settled on a program at Parsons for Fashion and Design, following his other passion and auditioning when he had the time on the side for small off-broadway things. Most of the time he’d end up in the chorus if he had a part, but it was enough to keep his inner diva happy while he made fabulous clothes. In his first year at Parsons he managed to get into a showcase, and he got a mentor that helped him cultivate his style and perception – she was the best thing that had happened to him in New York, and he maintains that claim to this day.

Relationships were harder than just jumping on a plane and going to New York. His first year was especially demanding, and he didn’t get to talk to Blaine as much as he was used to and it hurt. It didn’t help, either, that one of his classmates was constantly hitting on him and telling him that he was beautiful and that he was the best one in their class. It was weakness, pure and simple, that made him consider the other boy. It was courage that had him breaking up with Blaine – by December they’d started fighting about not talking as much and there were other problems and it was just bad. No matter how much Kurt loved Blaine (and surely Blaine loved Kurt), it wasn’t working. Kurt broke things off, telling himself that it was for the best and maybe he just needed to be happy where he was. He accepted when his classmate asked him out the next time, but it didn’t take long to realize that what Ryan wanted was someone who was unavailable, he didn’t want Kurt, and Kurt was heartbroken for a long time.

Kurt fell into a funk; it was terrible and it affected his work and he wanted to curl up in his room and cry for days but he couldn’t. He needed to go to class, he needed to get things done, he needed to move on with his life and deal with his mistakes and insecurities. For a while, he lost himself in the job, the work of putting fabric together and making something beautiful even if he wasn’t fully believing that he was capable of it. That was when he found just how deep some of the friendships he had were – there were a few people who reached out to him, but for the most part, his friends left him alone to try and pull himself together again. Kurt of course was used to this, it was what they had done for most of his life, but there was one person who was different. David, who he’d been texting and calling and basically continuing a friendship with ever since that terrible day in the hospital their senior year, managed to actually get Kurt to smile.

They were talking more and more, times when Kurt had off from class often were spent sending smartass comments to Dave as he watched students from the safety of the local coffee shop or Dave would send him commentary from some of his own classes. It was friendly and there were no expectations, no demands that they be there for each other as anything other than friends, and Kurt found himself relaxing most when he was talking to David. It continued that way for months, through the summer break when they kept making plans to meet up and never did, through the beginning of Kurt’s sophomore year, through to the amazing, too-much-to-believe showcase that Kurt managed to get in the spring where Dave managed to not only show up, but surprise him with a dozen orange lilies and this bright smile that Kurt felt down to his toes.

Things didn’t change right away – in fact, things didn’t really change much at all at first. They still texted each other far too often but Kurt was starting to get noticed, and starting to get busy. His mentor had managed to swing an internship with one of the best designers, so Kurt wasn’t able to go home that summer between sophomore and junior years but he did go to Paris. There were a few pieces that were his pride and joy that ended up in the fall line for the designer, and from there it felt like everything moved too far and too fast and he was getting offers left and right for jobs when he graduated.

When he finally managed to get home, winter break of Junior year, Kurt was a mix of exhausted and excited. He’d missed home of course, but everything was so exciting and everything was looking up. Winter break was when he caught up with his sleep, and it was when he was able to spend time with the family, and it was the first time he met up with David without any other event surrounding it. He was happy, and when David asked him out on a date, Kurt said yes.

It’s been a bit of a whirlwind in the years since that. Kurt’s become successful, though he often downplays his success because it feels like a dream. He lives in a small apartment in New York, shared with his current boyfriend – he tries to keep in touch with his old friends, but some things are more successful than others, and it doesn’t always work. He’s a twenty-something success story and he tries to stay grounded, but now and then it’s a little difficult what with Fashion Week and trips to Milan and Paris.

Preferred Ships: Kurtofsky, Klaine, Kurtbastian, Kurt/threesome, Kurt/chemistry (if it works/makes sense, I ship it)
Anti Ships: Kurt/female

Writing sample: (totally stealing this from another Kurt rp because I just wrote that bio ow)

Kurt wasn’t sure what to do in this kind of situation. He’d never been in this kind of situation – no one had ever really stopped him and thought he was hot, or sexy, or anything like that. He knew that he had a crush on Blaine, but really, who wouldn’t? Blaine was gorgeous, talented, witty…he was brilliant really, and Kurt was honestly surprised that he was single. But Kurt was too scared to come out of the closet, even if he were really willing to admit that was where he was – it was bad enough getting bullied for the way he looked, but adding ‘gay’ to the list of things that the Jocks used against him wasn’t high on his list of fun things to do.

He nodded absently when Blaine spoke. “Of course, I…” he started, blushing only a little under the way Blaine was looking at him before he found himself pressed closely against the other boy, his lips trapped in a way that was not as unpleasant as he had thought it might be. Or perhaps it was merely unpleasant because he’d told himself so, not because of any kind of truth…

Kurt’s brain short-circuited for a solid minute, running on instinct and what he wanted more than what he knew was a bad, bad idea. He kissed Blaine back before he realized what he was doing, his hand slipping from Blaine’s grasp and instead holding onto the other boy’s hip before they broke apart and Kurt stepped back.

“I thought…I thought we weren’t doing this, I thought you were straight…I’m straight, Blaine, we can’t…” he stumbled over his words, far less eloquent than he normally was but trying to stick with the plan. They were straight. They couldn’t do this. Straight boys didn’t kiss each other…right?

Anything else?: tigerssss. Also, this isn’t the account I’ll be using <3

Absence Notice.

Thu, 12 Jul 2012 15:04:18 -0500

Okay, I wanted to let you guys know that on the 17th and the 18th, I will be away on a short road trip with my best friend to visit my favorite place in the world. I’ll have my laptop with me, but I doubt that I will have much time to get on for more than an hour or so before I go to bed. Which is why I would appreciate if someone could manage the main blog for those two days. You don’t have to do much, just load the ads up in the queue on the ads blog about twice a day. Whataya say?

just wanted to let you know that I'm still working on kurt - I haven't given up! I also wanted to ask if you'd be open to having a dave, since I have a friend that'd like to play him if you are. :)

Thu, 12 Jul 2012 14:47:59 -0500

No problem! Take all the time you need. :) Also, we’d be totally open to having a Dave in our mix! Just tell them to send in an application when they can.

Here's what you missed on Glee...

Thu, 12 Jul 2012 00:19:33 -0500

Rory and Harmony have officially moved in together! It seems the new arrangement is getting to Rory’s head as he’s already popped the question twice. Not that Harmony’s noticed. [not directly stated in the roleplay yet but has happened by this point]
Charlie and Sebastian have hit a roadblock: the future. Charlie wants kids. Sebastian does not. Neither seems to know what to do with the situation.
In light of this problem, Charlie has decided to try and live on her own. However, this does not seem to stop the couple for continuing to dance around each other and the issue.
What’s this? Our youngest lovebirds, Seamus and Montana, have finally started dating. Yes? No? I can’t tell with these two anymore!

….and that’s what you missed on Glee!

can I reserve Kurt? I can app him tomorrow but it's midnight now and I have to be up in the morning <3

Wed, 11 Jul 2012 02:27:41 -0500

We do not do reserves but since we have no other auditions for him at the moment, I doubt that I will be accepting any before you can get yours in. :)
