• Favorite plot you’ve done
  The crazy night of Eddie almost dying at HG.

• Weirdest plot you’ve joined
  Stephen running an underground gambling ring at Hogwarts, or maybe Jacob turning the Binary Works of William Shakespeare into a volleyball net?

• Song that always makes you think of a plot
  I really wish it didn't because it's not a positive thing at all, but Cannonball by Damien Rice still makes me think of Eloise and Ron at Life Ahead.

• Favorite setting
  What? I don't know what this means, so I guess I'll take it to mean genre? I love canon compliant Trio Era HP, pre-war through DH.

• Favorite thread
  Hah! Um, I have no idea. I have like, a dozen that I really loved. Ron & Hermione fighting over her accidentally taking Veritaserum, Fleur giving birth to Marianne, anything and everything with Pet and Al, Pet and Kenneth's first date, Theodore and Fee and Sully in Hogsmeade, Theodore and Padma at Morag's Christmas party, the entirety of Letterlives & its accoutrement, Morning After the Office Party with Prudence & Jacob, Jacob badgering Nancy into getting her groove back, FW bringing Will breakfast, Jack and Jacob just being bros - and then roommates, Lee and Greta on the 4th of July.

• A plot you’d like to do in the future
  I want to play something Camelot or Merlin or Mists of Avalon! I honestly think I may make this, even though I kind of doubt it'll take off.

Well, Check is done (thanks everyone, for making it so awesome while it lasted!), and for the first time in a while, I have zero characters. I have a couple holds, but I'm actually not 100% sure I'm going to follow through with them. I want to play with everyone at Spygame and it looks well thought out and has lovely coding, but I'm also a bit spied out. I held Remus at Incognito for the same reasons exactly, but I've never been a Marauders type girl. I'm going to think on them for a bit, maybe try to get a bit done for applications, but I'm also thinking about going ahead and attempting to do a Merlin game.

On that note though, I don't like the third season at all. Is that just me? The second season ended with such promise, and the half dozen episodes or so before that were great too. The characters were maturing, the plots were gaining intricacy, it was grand. But nothing - not even almost being sacrificed for the good of Camelot - can justify Morgana's cheesy-bad-acting-hatred-of-everyone, Arthur is regressing back to an immature butthead, Gwen is floundering around doing... absolutely nothing, and the plots have gone back to the one-episode-only format, centering around Camelot being invaded by some strange magical creature/force, and now, farting. It makes me mad because it was honestly something so wonderful at the end of season two, I thought the show was finally starting to come into its own and showing the growth of the characters as they work towards more of the well-known legends. Another show jumps the shark. :-/

I know, they were all super fun to play! ♥ Someday we will have awesome fun times playing together again, I am sure of it.

[gwenog.insanejournal.com]

I hope so <3

I don't watch the shows but I'd play anyway :D

[igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com]

That's because you're a dear heart!

Well, I do love the mythology :D I'm sure I'd figure it out and it would be FUN.

Honestly? If you wanted to, you could watch the last four or five episodes of the second season without watching anything else. There was a brief window there where plots actually built on each other, and things looked SUPER promising. I think it's why I'm so upset that this season sucks. :(

Or, yeah, it could just be an amalgamation of the show and myths and other derivative works. XD
