It's not a cry you can hear at night, it's not somebody who's seen the light...

Favorite plot you’ve done ~ This is actually really hard! in Darker London tiems Deirdre has been around since April 2005, and Peter (and Thomas as a consequence) since February 2006 so they've done so much. Almost 8,500 posts, it's hard to pick out a favourite plot, but I GUESS it would be Peter's first arc. Where he started off as a wayward priest who didn't understand a thing about what he was fighting against (demons, since one killed Thomas), and ended up saving someone who WAS the very thing he started off fighting against (a demon named Deirdre) because he realised he was Dumbledore he loved her (FATHERLY LOVE HERE, PEOPLE) and love was a much better tool to use to save people than hate was like Dumbledore. So now he saves demons from themselves by the dozens. But now it's old news. Back then, it was NEW and SHINY because he was learning too. And in there is all his falling away from the church, and learning what demons actually ARE because he had no idea, and I really love it quite a lot. It was a several month long plot and that is what I would novelise (drastically changed though) if I novelised him!

I love the Templar too, though. So I would work them into his novel, under a different name, since 'Templar' gives other connotations and even though that was INTENDED, it's different when it's not role play :D

Weirdest plot you’ve joined ~ Uhm...well lots of plots I have played are weird, but most of Darker London is...well...dark. In FG I haven't really done many PLOTS yet. In Dirty Life my plot isn't weird, it's AWEsome and I will write more of Nicholas being awkward when I finish those essays I am currently avoiding! I guess I will answer this question with the weirdest scenes I have ever done. There was the scene where Peter's daughter's decorated him in his sleep and named him Princess Strawberry CocoButterLove because I felt like writing something cutesie, and then there is this scene with people who hadn't been in the outside world for years making sense of modern day London AND the famous Teletubby scene. I cannot actually FIND the scene in question, but I copied it and pasted it in my own journal here. I was in a weird mood that day. There are Teletubbies. Okay, people IN Teletubby costumes, but still.

( Then I found a post of my favourite one-liners my characters said to my characters! )

The only character muse I have left in FG is Saint Patrick. Fucksticks. Memetime.

favorite character you’ve ever made ~ Since I already answered this by saying Flynn myeyesarehollow I guess I should talk about someone else. My second and third favourite characters are Peter Kemp and Thomas Littleton, in order. Peter father_peter pretty much made himself (and I have talked him to BITS in this journal because he's my main character. Just follow the tag if you care) and Thomas suave_thomas was an accident. I'll talk about him since I love him to bits and he's Hugh Jackman. Actually he is why I love Hugh Jackman...

He was a plot point in dirty_life to make Peter sad in the beginning and then later to make him happy, and Thomas didn't even have a journal (and was never supposed to since he was...like..dead!) but then I played him in a scene with Scout's Claire (how that is possible is a question for the Dirty Wiki (which is so handy!) and we all loved him. We decided he needed him to be a full character, despite being dead so I made him a journal and I needed a PB. Scout had just seen the 3rd X-Men movie (I had not) and kept showing me pictures of Hugh Jackman who (WAIT FOR IT) I didn't care about at that point. At all. I had seen him in the X-Men movies and just thought he was a hairy git (THAT HURT ME TO TYPE OMFG!). I am actually serious. And so as a JOKE I suggested I use Hugh for Thomas since the character was for Claire (and Peter. Oooooh Cletermas. The smut!) and it would make Scout happy. They convinced me to do it so I did. Without that, I never would have had my Thomas (SO, THANK YOU!). His backstory has changed significantly, as well as the reason he came back AND how because of moving games. He's alive now because I couldn't stand having him dead because I love writing him too much. AND I finally realised if I write the novel with Peter in it, one of the almost everything ever that has to be different is that Thomas HAS to be alive (because bringing people back in the novel will not happen. That's so Buffy/Supernatural). The death in the beginning that starts Peter's emo wangst (this is not true, Peter's emo wangst started when his sister died, but shhh) has to be someone else's.

Sorry, Stuart everscrumptious I love you SO MUCH. You are adorable and silly and Daisy Wenham. But I love Thomas more. He made me love Hugh Jackman. Who I now cannot get enough of. And who does pained acting better than I think anyone does. So you're being sacrificed in novel form. Live on in darker_london

favorite gender to play ~ Male. I love them so much more. Short answer!

Ahhhh I did it. I said Auf Wiedersehen by doing what used to be my favourite thing to do in Vienna. Getting lost. When you're lost you find some pretty impressive things and if you just let it happen instead of panicking, it can be incredible. I used to take the U-bahn to a station I didn't know and just wander until I either found my way back, or another U-bahn station and it was always when I had the best time (that was how I discovered the side entrance to Schoenbrunn I then visited constantly). Today I stayed in the first district because I didn't feel like dealing with the U-bahn and if I got really lost, my poor feet might have killed me. So I just went in a direction I hadn't been before. I found the theatre which will be playing the Dance of the Vampire soon. I found the Pestturm (which I have been looking for, stupid thing!) I found Am Hof, a little shopping district, and I found Petersplatz. Peter's Place (and Peterskirche). How perfectly perfect. When I found Stephansdom again, there was a street magician doing illusions to the song 'Somewhere over the Rainbow' right in front of the Dom. So I watched him and it made me smile. Then I just happened to find the best Wiener Schnitzel I have ever had, completely on accident. And some very nice people too. And I didn't have to punch anyone in their genitals, WHOOHOOO! Oh, and then I ate a Burger King brownie DON'T JUDGE ME!!

I don't think I will purposely lose myself in London or Dublin or Edinburgh because I don't know them well enough to try it. But in Vienna, it was the perfect end to a wonderful, nostalgic visit.

Now back to the epicness than is my current Johan scene, which I am madly pre-writing and which is making me ignore what currentstory I have... Oh Johan, how I adore you. And broody Thomas is annoying anyway! Ahahha so many people will be like "huh?" But OH there was a Thomas' shop right around the corner from Petersplatz hehehhehe YAY!
