You know, sometimes I understand people posting RP guidelines. They can be helpful to newbies, or in establishing ground rules, but most of the time I think time would be better spent explaining the difference between "its" and "it's" and making note of the correct way to spell "existence." I'm just sayin'

Anyway, AlanAlanAlan litspam:

"I wanted Catherine, but I wanted to take her with a different self, a self that wasn't available. The thing I wanted wasn't lost in the past at all, and it never had been. It was lost in the future. A self I should have been, but wasn't. A thread I'd let go of in myself, thinking I could live without it, not seeing what it meant."

Gun, With Occasional Music

Exactly.

Never-mind the fact that the person dispensing these guidelines should be somewhat sane.

[3pipeproblem.livejournal.com]

Pshaw. You seem to think sane people RP.

...which isn't to say there aren't degrees of sanity.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_redcorvette/]

Silly me. Yes, degrees. There's also common sense. Or lack there of.

[3pipeproblem.livejournal.com]

Someone should make a post about RP characters who want to molest George Michael Bluth because that's just wrong under any circumstances. Unless you're Maeby.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_redcorvette/]

Or Ann!

[3pipeproblem.livejournal.com]

WRONG. (http://www.abstinenceonly.com/)

She can't wait to get married!!

it's too bad that the Immortal is MIA or he would point out that grammar, usage, and spelling are fascist. and capitalization. mostly capitalization, because he observes the other rules when he remembers.

the real reason I'm replying is that I've long thought "Gunn, with occasional music" would be a great name for a fic, if I could figure out more about the type of music Charles Gunn would be into.

[3pipeproblem.livejournal.com]

And Alan would once again suggest that he not use "fascist" in such a cavalier manner. After bemoaning the fact that Todd excluded him from any threats that were received.

I'm so bad with characters and music. Mainly because I don't listen to enough music myself. Mahler?

[likeadeuce.livejournal.com]

*nods vigorously*

yes, when I think Gunn, I definitely think Mahler.

sadly, due to circumstances beyond my control, Darlamun is much more up on Todd's affairs than I am.

(I'm relying on poached internet access, and I can just about keep up with one - RL -- journal, but not with the RPs!)

All you really need to know is that Wesley/GOB came up as a pairing for ithurtsmybrain and I fully intend to write it.

PS

[likeadeuce.livejournal.com]

though I did stop in on the Darla-Alan thread and was very amused by "Todd abhors exposition." Would have a retort if I weren't so damn tired!

Re: PS

[3pipeproblem.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, he didn't mean it as a criticism!

Re: PS

[likeadeuce.livejournal.com]

good, because Todd wouldn't take it as one. i mean, exposition is kind of fascist, if you think about it. why impose a single narrative onto events when one man's truth is not. . .etc etc.

re, Wesley/GOB, the only answer is yes!!!
if you write that, I'll totally write Harmony/GOB.

Re: PS

[3pipeproblem.livejournal.com]

*snicker* And language is so limiting, too. He and Alan should spend a day just playing pictionary.

Wow, a pictionary interrogation. That could be fun.

Buahahahaha, I can actually see Harmony/GOB working.

It's and Its...or breath and breathe. Nothing takes me out of a story quite like "she tried to take a deep breathe" no honey, no.

Gun, With Occasional Music - what an awesome book (if you're talking about the book). Yay completely messed up future mystery stories.

[3pipeproblem.livejournal.com]

Oh my, yes. And back when I used to read X-Files fic, if someone misspelled "Krycek" I had this compulsive need to go through the document and correct the spelling. It's so easy to do right and it drives me insane!

The books in my library don't have dust jackets, so I grabbed it kind of randomly because I wanted to read something by Lethem, and I thought it was going to be a straight mystery. Needless to say, I spent the first few chapters going "...did he just say rabbit? Did he mean that literally?"

[catch22girl]

The Krycek mispellings, oh I wanted to jump into the screen and slap them. Learning how to spell character names - it's really not a bad thing!

Very scary future that Lethem wrote there - but I <3 hardboiled detective fiction.

[bohemiancachet.livejournal.com]

Such a ho.

[3pipeproblem.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you chose to read your fl! Each of your insightful comments brightens my day.

Oh, and have fun at the theatre, ho.

[bohemiancachet.livejournal.com]

READ MY JOURNAL, HO! I WAS TOO SICK TO GO! I AM AT HOME BEING SAD!

*SOBS*

[3pipeproblem.livejournal.com]

Awwwwwww. Diet Coke gets its revenge!

[bohemiancachet.livejournal.com]

It really, truly has. Just updated again! I have temporary relief!

[3pipeproblem.livejournal.com]

Hard drugs?

[bohemiancachet.livejournal.com]

Fucking codiene. I think it may be past its use by... they're just guidelines, right?
