Sometimes I speak in whole sentences, even

Have sent in a character application to campfuckudie. Now am waiting to be voted on.

Cue panic!

I thought you said you were too busy to participate in that

[p-zeitgeist.livejournal.com]

You know, I'm sure they'll grab you. And I will be sad, because you will vanish down the black hole that is that game, and those of us who aren't playing will never see you again.

So it is a measure of how fond of you I am that I wish you luck with it anyway. And I'm not going to do voodoo here in a vain attempt to stop it, or anything.

[eibii.livejournal.com]

Whoa, congratulations! Best of luck on it, I tried my hand awhile ago, it can certainly be spazzy to wait and watch.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

I was, last quarter and kind of still am now, but since I figured I'm spending so much time reading it anyway, I may as well try to play.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

You know, I wouldn't actually be surprised if the opposite happened. I have a terrible habit of not replying to posts or comments when I first read them, since I haven't yet come up with anything articulate or impressive to say, and putting them off for a day, and then another day, and then another day, at which point I either forget or am too embarrassed to say anything.

Anything that forces me to get used to replying immediately could instead result in more of my presence around lj.

And thank you for the vote of confidence!

[shes-unreal.livejournal.com]

Heheh, I thought about joining as Marron from Sorcerer Hunters but I didn't think I could post a funny intro seeing as how he's not that funny by himself.

Who are you joining as?

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Did you not get in? Don't make me panic more!

[ranalore.livejournal.com]

I should say something supportive and cheering here, but I'm afraid the best I can do is: Better you than me. *G*

I can't say yet, since the whole voting-and-application process is supposed to be anonymous. But, yeah, I totally had a similiar problem. My character does not speak in paragraphs!

[eibii.livejournal.com]

Eheh. I bombed like anything, but I got some great feedback, and invaluable insight into what I could and couldn't make work there. (Frankly, before it was over, I was more nervous that the tide would suddenly turn and I'd be accepted, trying to assimilate all that C&C in a short amount of time and debut would have driven me batty. )

... Um. That was supposed to sound more encouraging than it actually was. *ahem* What I think I intended to say was, even if it does get taken out (but I'm crossing my fingers for you that you don't - you seem pretty spot-on with what I've seen you write), persistance and self-evaluation can definitely pay off, sometimes you can make an awesome impression on the rebound, and have more confidence for it...?

As long as you're not a Mighty Ducks character oh god I felt so sorry for that mun.

... Guh. I'm sorry, I was trying to be comforting, wasn't I? Um. Crap. ._.;

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Heh. It'll get you eventually. It's like the borg, except on crack.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they do give great concrit there. I was stalking the voting posts in an attempt to figure out what, exactly, was the difference between the apps that made it and they ones that didn't.

I think I'm more nervous than I would be over any other type of writing because I don't usually do first-person, and certain aspects of the character were way, way hard to translate to a journal post.

[p-zeitgeist.livejournal.com]

When do they let you know? I look forward to finding out who your alter ego is.

I don't even know who they have already playing.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

In around a week. The window to apply closes at 6am EST, then the mods go through to weed out ones that are extremely bad or don't guidelines, and then they go up in a groups of five or so to be voted on, one group a day. You need a 70% approval rating to get in.

They have all of the main cast of Saiyuki, quite a number from FMA, no one from YnM, and some fun people from randomly selected canons, like Alex from 'A Clockwork Orange' or Anne, the one "of Green Gables". There's a complete cast list in the community's userinfo (http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=campfuckudie) (if you scroll down. I'd link directly to it, but I can't figure out how).

[p-zeitgeist.livejournal.com]

I'm glad I didn't look at that list before. I might have been tempted to app Vampire!Willow, and nothing good could have come of that.

But, I flail with lack of understanding. How can it be that Gojyo is a counsellor, but Hakkai is a camper? Doesn't that violate every possible law of the universe?

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Oooo. You should. You realize that the opportunity will come again in a few weeks, right?

Doesn't that violate every possible law of the universe?

Heh. Sort of. What happened was that after there was already a Sanzo, Goku, and Gojyo at the camp, everyone wanted to finish the set and were too lazy to wait for counselor apps to open up again, since there's only ever been two of them got special permission from the moderators to play Hakkai as a camper. 22 is close to the cut-off age of 21, anyway.

[mistressrenet.livejournal.com]

We also have an Anakin Solo who's older than Ob-Wan Kenobi.

We need a vamp!Willow.

[mistressrenet.livejournal.com]

Dude, the canon was longer than any of Sanzo's posts ever. We also ate a Lina Inverse alive but she admitted she'd never seen or read Slayers.

[mistressrenet.livejournal.com]

We still don't have a Hisoka, you know.

[mistressrenet.livejournal.com]

Good luck! ♥

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

but she admitted she'd never seen or read Slayers.

Dude, seriously? Seriously? That is the saddest thing ever.

And I kinda want to read it, if you remember how long ago it was.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[p-zeitgeist.livejournal.com]

But it's not just the age thing, with Gojyo and Hakkai. Hakkai may have that killing spree in his past, but still: if you assume that Gojyo has reached his sixties and Hakkai is a mere 21, it is still hard to imagine that the laws of the universe are not being violated if Gojyo, but not Hakkai, holds a position of trust and confidence.

Vamp!Willow might have been tempting, but isn't it too late? Even if apps are opening again in a few weeks, I can't do it now and still be anonymous. So I am saved from my own self-destructive impulses -- aren't I?

[mistressrenet.livejournal.com]

Ah, but Gojyo is a sex ed counselor in a camp where sex is about the only explicitly forbidden act, thereby ensuring his utter uselessness and maintaining the inherent structure of the universe.

Only we know. Apps will probably open again in February for new campers. XD

[mistressrenet.livejournal.com]

It was the saddest thing ever. I can't remember exactly when it was-- sometime after we dumped Lina-- but once when I was on IRC someone remembered and linked me, because wow, we are bitches. Remind me if you can't find it.
