Wanted.The Stones.Application.Rules.Characters/Taken PBs.Main Community.OOC Community
In the year 1994, three teenagers were on vacation with their families, and crossed upon a cave. At first, it didn’t seem out of the ordinary, until they took their flashlights and walked in. The walls were covered with different colored stones, green, blue, red, orange, etc. Ecstatic about the discovery, they decided to take some as souvenirs and tell everyone about it. Little did they know that those stones would change their lives forever. Those weren’t your ordinary stones. They gave people abilities to manipulate different phases of nature.
Anyone who held a specific stone would be able to control a specific part of nature. Fun, right? Well, no. Once you get that stone, you cannot lose it. Because once you have the stone, you become one with it. If you are away from your stone for a long period of time, you die. Why not destroy it after the person dies? Well, once you touch the stone, it is in your blood. When you die, it must be passed on to one person of your family blood or else everyone in your family chain will die. Many people heard about these stones, and its abilities, but they did not bother to think about that negative side and went to the cave.
People who couldn’t afford to travel and go to the cave began to steel the stones from others, thus people started to die from being away from their stone for too long. When the government found out about those stones and its abilities, they ordered for all stones to be destroyed. Meaning anyone who had a stone destroyed died too. Even though the government thought they destroyed all the stones, there were some people that still had it in their possession. Most keep it secret, in fear that the government would destroy it.
It is the year 2008, and people still have a stone in their possession.

In 2008, both the Ninth and Tenth Doctors and their companions, Lynda Moss and Rose Tyler as well as Martha Jones and Donna Noble, travel back in time to the year 1998 in their respective TARDISes. In that year, Minerva McGonagall, the now-Headmistress of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, invited the class of 1998 back to repeat their seventh year of education. Hogwarts is starting to rebuild itself, and only select ones that died, have been brought back to life. The worlds have collided, and there is now a new evil afoot and not even magic is going to help them. The TARDISes are now stuck in the village surrounding Hogwarts, Hogsmeade. The two Doctors and their companions must now learn that being magical isn’t just a fairy tale.

[07 Oct 2008|12:06pm] |
Do you miss the old days of role-playing, when people worked for story-lines and didn't expect things handed to them on a silver platter?
Do you miss the days when games were about posting threads and logs, not LULZ AIM chats and macros? Or about content and plot, not about popular faces, challenging each other's holds, and who has the best icons?
Do you struggle to find places to advertise when communities like ~rps and ~pbads push your ads off the page within hours?
Do you wish you could find games like that still and don't know where to look for them?
Welcome to Old School RP. This is the ad community you've been missing.

To begin, here's a bit of backstory as to what's going on and who two of the characters in the story are
Basically what and who we have here is Alex Winters and Landureth Rurakiem. The setting is that of a modern day world, in the US, specifically a town in Colorado named Terra Falls where there's a college campus, and magic exists, albiet in almost complete unutilizable ways. Some people can create small fires the sizes of a match, some people can make water balloons without the actual balloons. That's basically it.
Alex:
Age: 21
Sex: Male
Status: Single, Human (supposedly), virgin
Height 6'1"
Landureth
Age: 19
Sex: Male
Status: Lycanthropic, single, non-virgin
Height: Human, 6'7", grows taller when lycanthropic
More information and in-depth bios on both of the characters can be found in the asylum.
The roleplay focuses around basically the character's lives in the city of Terra Falls. Feel free to join on in if you think you can swing it.

Nabbed from tribe.net:
Dear Nigerian:
I cordially correspond today to request you to support an urgent secret business relationship with a transfer of funds of great magnitude which is most seriously important.
I am Ministry of the Treasury of the Republic of America. My country has had crisis that has caused urgent need for large transfer of funds of 800 billion USD. If you would assist me in this transfer, it would be most profitable to you.
I am working with Mr. Phil Gramm, lobbyist for UBS, who (God willing) will be my replacement as Ministry of the Treasury in January. As a former U.S. congressional leader and the architect of the Bush/Cheney Financial Doctrine, you may know him as the leader of the American banking deregulation movement in the 1990s. As such, you can be assured that this transaction is 100% safe.
This is a matter of great urgency. We need a blank check. We need the funds as quickly as possible. We cannot directly transfer these funds in the names of our close friends because we are constantly under surveillance. My family lawyer advised me that I should look for a reliable and trustworthy person who will act as a next of kin so the funds can be transferred. For this inconvenience you will be rewarded with grand fees of 1/1,000,000th of 1% of possible profits due to off shore laundering of skim funds due to reprinting of said funds.
Please reply with mother's maiden name, routing and account numbers of all of your bank account, IRA, 401K, pension funds, gold and silver accounts, serial numbers of any weapons you own, and college fund accounts and those of your children and grandchildren to wallstreetbailout@treasury.gov so that we may transfer your commission for this transaction. After I receive that information, I will respond with detailed information about safeguards that will be used to protect the funds.
Please Respond Immediately Forthwith In Confidence.
Yours Faithfully and Sincerely,
Minister of Treasury Paulson

Well, I have the answers to these questions and more, and you don't even have to buy my book. Not that I have one. Seems I can never quite gather my thoughts enough to put them to paper. That's strange, don't you think?
I know it keeps me up at night.

| Lion Among . . . zzzzz . . . |
[03 Oct 2008|09:02pm] |
I picked up Karen Miller's The Riven Kingdom, flipped through it for a few minutes, and spent the next while wondering what was worse: the holy roller Sue from book 1 (Empress) having her atrocities be justified by her uncapitalized god, or the same holy roller Sue, now identified as savage and black, being the villain for a poor beleaguered properly-God-capitalizing white woman.
~~
I finished my ARC of A Lion Among Men a while back, tried to find words for it, and gave up a few times. Then I saw the display promoting it which said it's the final installment of the Wicked Years series. If this is the case, Maguire's going to have some fans hunting him down.
( spoilery tl;dr spoilers! )
There is one thing to say, though: Maguire gives credit where credit is due. His endnote is about how he accidentally lifted a history I don't remember seeing and a speech pattern for a minor character from a colleague. He cited it, pointed to the inspirational author for credit . . . and made me wonder what the hell's wrong with the authors who blatantly rip others off and then get lauded by morons who go on and on about how original and awesome they are. See: Sunny's Anne Bishop badfic/plagiarism of LKHamilton, whoever the recent woman is in the literature section who wrote AU Charlaine Harris fanfic (medieval telepathic woman is annoyed by hearing other people's thoughts, meets love interest vampire whose thoughts she can't hear, they fight crime & have adventures), Suzanne Collins's blatant Battle Royale ripoff, so on.
But yeah. Yay, Maguire. Nehh, Lion Among Men. I hope he goes back in to tie up those damned loose ends, but I can promise I won't glee nearly as much to get my hands on an ARC of his next work.
~~
I might pick up Charlaine Harris's Dead Until Dark again, since I haven't read it since '01 and could use a little bit of fluff. The show thus far is campy, has too much sex, and meanders into WTF territory for those of us who've read the book (Is the dog Tyler Durden? Why's Tara a racist moron with a persecution complex? What's with the compulsive masturbation, Sookie?), but . . . I'm watching anyway. So far. Maybe things'll change.
What scares me, though, is the upcoming tv series based on Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth novels. With True Blood they added the excessive amounts of sex--with Goodkind's Legend of the Seeker (not The Seeker: The Dark is Rising) they're gonna have to cut out some of the testicle eating, elaborately spiny namble cocks, and gratuitous Rapity McRapey-rape-rape-rape of however many thousands of women. I hope. D:
. . . I get the feeling I'm gonna watch the first one just out of morbid curiosity, just to see if the "Fire is evil!" speech makes any more sense out loud. Stop me plz.

The rules are basically the same as 1sentence, but here you claim a threesome/moresome paring from any fandom you please. So come over and join and start writting those sentences!

Today was the day to get some of my NYAF leftovers up on etsy. Success = moderate. I think earrings need to go up next--I've only got a million or so laying around here. D:
I was going to hold off on the etsy slam, since our one person from NYAF told me there's a ren faire on Sunday which direly needs gypsy jewelry. I have off Sunday and seriously want rid of some of these boxes of stuff. But this adventure went the way of anything related to NYAF: the guy called on Tuesday to say that oops, it's on Saturday instead. I work a 9-10 on Saturday and can't afford to call off any more.
I guess I get to sit on my boxes of retail stuff for a while longer--or at least until I get an opening to sit a vendor table at any of the local tribal/dance/ethnic-type shows. The question then becomes whether or not that'll happen before Tekko. Or before the person from NYAF calls back about my ticket fee refund.
Okay, so I'm gonna have to stalkabitch unless he calls back and/or gives my money back. The bullshit that went on with that con has left me with an extremely low tolerance for . . . well, anything involving the con.
~~~
Panera's orchard salad thingy is made of awesome and tasty and I highly recommend it.
~~~
So what's up with Deviantart going all Strikethrough-like? It's a bit of bad form for one of the company's higher-ups to take aim at at the people who age up characters for fic/art. At least Lj had the sense to not out-and-out call fanartists and fanficcers freaks. Some of the staff who abandoned aff.net have started the Evocative Fics and Forums Network as a sort of retaliation, which at some point should be taking fanart, but in the meantime I guess fandom gets to sit back and watch stuff get 404'd. Again.
I need to get back to writing. :P
