Ooh Trala RP!S

It always amuses/irritates/frustrates me when the talk of OCs pops up on RP!S, because the same arguments for and against -most of them against- allowing them in panfandom games pops up every time. As a person who's currently in an OC phase, which seems to be the long coming accompaniment of my story-writing phase, which pre-dated my fanfic writing phase, I find it annoying to try and look for games that allow OCs who also have a premise that I think is interesting. Yes, I understand people's obsessive compulsive OC = Mary Sue thinking, but I've seen so many shounen!retard-canon!sues I take that with a grain of salt. I've seen far too many self-insert, OOC fandom characters in my relatively short time RPing to look at an OC character and immediately label them Mary Sues. Without living through it myself, I'm sure there are people who have had painful experiences with fandom based OCs. Sorry for them, but dealing with fandom is nothing but painful most of the time anyway, so I'll stick over in my OC corner... with a world I made myself, contrite or not, and characters I enjoyed making, whatever their traumatic history may be, and wait until I find another game I can play in.

Also in regards to RP!S: /touch, touch, sticks it in. L.O.L. They should put some heavy grinding in there. Mmm hmmm. It's somewhere between the 'sticks in it' and 'climaxes together' part.

Speaking of OCs, I'm staring at a half-finished [three-quarters actually] app for Blaine wondering if I should finish it. I'm hoping it'll rev up my engines and dump me headlong back into DF [versus my one limb at a time XD;], but most of what worries me is Yukino. I'm sure I'll have a moderately hard time doing her activity properly -threading wise, I can always slap up a post and answer threads there, but that does not good CR make- and she might be overwhelmed by Blaine. He's fun, I've put a lot of effort into his characterization and background since I started playing him, but... well. The stipulation of having a canon character along with my OC makes it hard when I don't HAVE any other canon characters I feel I could play properly and not as an excuse to keep my OC in play. Even if I don't play Blaine, I have a nearly sociopathic red head who's waiting in the wings to stir up mischief with a smile and stab in the back... >_> *coughs*

He's rather fleshed out by now.

It's funny, because my first interpretation of 'fleshed out' was 'got fatter'. Then I remembered that that's not what your post was about at all. ♥

Oh come on! After my OC app, everything should look relatively tame!

You can't get any more insane than an OC character from another RPG who's Canon was full of bug ships and 'the dead do not poo.'

Ffff, I'm not worried about my app or even my ability to play my OCs XD I'm just worried about forgetting about Yukino and not doing a proper job with her, which I'm barely doing now. A lot of that is because of lack of motivation for RP in general and working 48+ hours a week. e____e
