So either way, my most common character is a pureblood male with brown hair in Ravenclaw. ...And that would be Tristan Rosier or almost Malcolm Thomas.

7:49pm: Me too!
Which one of my RP characters (past or present) is most like me, and why?

3:21pm: Flash Fiction Meme
I'm in need of inspiration and I haven't done this in awhile, so here's a meme:

Choose a character of mine and one of yours and I will write a fiction of 25 words or less in length. If there's a title, it will be included in the final word count.

Here's my character list.

Please distract me from rewriting old character profiles to fight my writer's block.

12:37am: Just a Thought
I've been fleshing out some character history, and it has me thinking about something that has been bothering me for awhile.

Frequently in applications for war games, we're asked to give our character's political alignment. Usually, this means explaining whether our character supports or leans toward the Death Eaters, the Ministry of Magic or the Order of the Phoenix. I understand the need for a base line at which to start, and most applications ask players to go into more detail about their character's opinions in order to avoid being too simplistic. We're asked why our characters believe and do what they do. Even then, however, the Ministry of Magic often seems to be treated as a monolithic entity. I've rarely seen an actual party system in existence - where you have more conservative factions and more liberal factions and factions who care solely about one issue and one issue only and nevermind the rest. Where members on either side accuse opposing parties of being just like X group of radical extremists, even when most members of said parties genuinely wouldn't be caught dead having anything to do with any extralegal groups, be they Order or Death Eaters. I'd like to see more of that.

12:43pm: Kissing Meme
Stolen from everyone:

Give me a character of yours and a character of mine and I'll (do my best to) tell you about one time/first time they kiss (even if it's a hypothetical situation).

9:49pm: Joining In
All of these are tentative and dependent on my being able to play, obviously. In order of likelihood.

9:01pm: LOL
I died.

2:04pm: Character meme

Comment below and I will tell you which of your characters that I've played against are my favorites and why I love them.

...But probably slowly due to work and moving insanity.

9:17pm: Merry Christmas, alsoknownas!
Christmas fic! Sort of. I've had this idea in my head for awhile, but I wrote it up tonight. I am slow, and I broke my record for speed-writing with this one, so I'm sorry if there are mistakes. Merry Christmas, Whit!

Characters: Regulus Black, Chloe (Wilkes) Black, and Perseus Black (with references to Sirius Black, James Potter, Olivia (Wilkes) Rosier and Evan Rosier)
Setting: Their home, Christmas 1986
Summary: My best-case scenario for the future of some of my favorite find_horcruxes characters.
Rating: Low - it's not fluff, but it's still happier than most of mine, I think.

( Mummy's crying. )

1:45pm: Aagh.
Oh, havens, alsoknownas, hafren, you kill me! Regulus and Severus last night broke my heart.

Anyway after reading that log (4 or 5 times), I was listening to Billy Joel's "Glass Houses," and there was this song...

( C'Etait Toi - lyrics )

9:31am: Ow.
Character ramblings to come for the Halloween aftermath at find_horcruxes, but for now... Ouch.

I really didn't think the whole Regulus/Chloe fiasco could get any worse, but then:

12:01pm: Find the Horcruxes Bandwagon!
Come join Find the Horcruxes! You can be a part of moments like this!


And on that note:

Fabian Prewett would be very excited to see any members of the Hogwarts class of '73, but particularly Gryffindors, Hamish McFarlan, head of the Department of Magical Games and Sports, and Quidditch Players, particularly Ludo Bagman of the Wimbourne Wasps, and Justus Fleming and David Winchester of the Falmouth Falcons.

Malcolm Thomas would appreciate his older brothers Ralph Thomas and Albus Thomas Ralph is listed as a Broomstick Designer, but that could be changed. Albus works in the Ministry. He would also be grateful for older Death Eaters or other shady characters to serve on the board of the Hygeia Institute.

Chloe Wilkes could use her boss Augustus Rookwood at the Department of Mysteries and a few more Slytherin girls of '78 or '79.

Claude Zeller really, really wants to have his children Paul Zeller and Amalie Zeller around. These two come with family-related plot, but are otherwise very open! Paul already has a dormmate in Gideon Prewett.

3:27pm: Loving this.
I'm finding Celeste and Fabian hilarious. It's so much fun to let them go and see what they do. It's just as well that they don't like each other, because Moz and I were saying last night that if they ever decided to team up, they might just be able to take over the world.

3:59am: Random Quote of the Night!
I was commenting with a few characters at find_the_mod, and this quote popped into my head in reference to alsoknownas's characters:

"'...So why is the only person who hasn't tried to blow me out this morning a blood-sucking vampire?'"
~ Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant

Gotta love Sam Vimes.
