	2009.11.11  17.12 At some point I stopped writing drabble and started writing porn. Sorry I turned your character into the moral equivalent of a naked woman who can't afford to pay the pizza guy, Sarah. ( Dimitri/Sandy - Running )

	2009.11.11  01.23 So as you all probably know, I am not doing rpwrimo. I am lazy and bad at meeting goals and deadlines. But I am interested in doing some writing, so how 'bout some drabbles? Hit me with your requests for drabbles here. Old stuff, new stuff, our stuff, our stuff that might have been. They won't all be high art, but a few might actually be pretty nifty.

	2009.11.10  19.46 Soooo. You remember that baby meme? Sure you do. I wrote some babies for you guys. Well, Krys went and asked me for one from crossover for Padma and Caro. The problem is that Krys and I had long term plans with Padma and Caro that never actually materialized since the game died. So when I sat down, I actually had a few ideas in mind for how they got together, because I knew how they were going to get together, and I wanted to write them all out. Long story short, I wrote five thousand, eight hundred and sixty-seven words. Since that is way, way too long to stick in one comment, I'm putting it here. Still have Twitch and Dimitri to do, but I can assure you, that will not be nearly as epic. ( Emmaline Mackenzie-Smith ) And this baby meme is getting ridiculous. All told: 15,119 words just on this stupid meme.

	2009.11.10  11.31 neopolis dreams are weird. Jenlee and Scott were, of course, an item. And Jenlee mentions that she's on the Pill, but she sometimes forgets to take it, so Cole is like, "You need to get some redundancies up in there, girl." Yeah, my dreams are vaguely racist. Meanwhile I'm Fry from Futurama and we're all watching an episode of Scooby Doo where Shaggy rides a dragon to space to light up the constellations by order of the Greek gods. And then I wake up.

	2009.11.09  16.50 Jack Rants About Film Tropes Maybe it's because I went to a small, tolerant school in a city of around thirty thousand, but I hate teen movies that treat popularity like it's an objective, measurable, tangible quantity. Someone is most popular in the same way that someone can be the tallest or have the best grades. It's ridiculous, and I strongly disapprove. Also, the popular girls in these movies? They're all fairly unlikeable, sort of dumb, and rarely as attractive as the so-called "ugly" protagonist. Which may seem like a petty grievance, but when you're trying to claim that a girl is the most popular while all her traits would seem to imply the opposite, it's problematic. Sometimes they try to handwave it by making her rich, which in turn means that she's just buying her popularity, but even then, what are we supposed to think? That the antagonist is a horrible monster for buying friends, but the people who only profess their friendship because of the promise of cash and prizes are desirable symbols of status? There's always a scene where the Popular Girl and one or two of her genuine friends are shown their comeuppance. I'd like to see a film where the fairweather hangers-on get theirs. Speaking of "ugly" protagonists, who the hell was responsible for the casting nightmare that was The Truth About Cats and Dogs? Uma Thurman is, I suppose, attractive enough, but who the hell thinks that she's better looking than Janeane Garofalo? The movie was a fucking Unfortunate Implications machine anyway: suggesting that all women are hideous standing next to Uma Thurman is bad, but the ultimate moral of the story, that Uma Thurman is undeserving of love because she's not as smart as Janeane, doesn't really address the problem of superficiality, it just changes the delivery method. It was basically a gender-flipped remake of Cyrano de Bergerac, which was kind of a rape-a-licious play anyway. I'm sure it didn't mean anything by it, but there is something kind of skeevy about a dude seducing a chick on another dude's behalf without the girl knowing it. It gets by because it's a masterpiece of classical French literature. This gets no such pass. And another thing: we're meant to assume that Janeane is, in this case, the Cyrano. Cyrano, you'll recall, has a nose long enough that he could realistically fuck someone with it. So for men to be unfuckable: hideous facial deformity. For women to be unfuckable: kind of short with small boobs. Bravo, filmmakers. I also hate works where people of the same race pair up at the end. White with white, brown with brown, red man with get ahead man. I'll grant you, some people--probably most people--date exclusively within their own race. But it's not universal. If there's a legitimate relationship, that's fine, I'll shut up. But when the cast has one black dude and one black lady and they don't interact until the very end of the film, fuck that shit. "But Jack!" you say. "Shipping the sidekicks is a common enough trope regardless of race, and the sad reality is that minorities are often cast in the sidekick role." To which I say, "Yes, but." In this case, yes, but don't think for a second they don't actively consider this shit. To wit: Hitch. If you've never seen Hitch, it's basically about Will Smith hiring himself out as a by-the-hour Cyrano. It's not quite as rape-a-licious as the original, mostly because he doesn't tell them what to say or what to do, just how to be on their best behavior to a) get a date and b) act on said date. While Will Smith tries to help Kevin James get a girl he's in love with to look his way, he's also trying to seduce Eva Mendes. Now, I told you that story so I could tell you this one: the casting people chose Eva Mendes for two reasons. If they had chosen a black actress for Will's love interest, white audiences would have dismissed it as a "black" film and ignored it (despite Kevin James, the whitest man in the world, having one of the lead roles). If they had cast a white actress for Will's love interest, then there would have been controversy about the interracial relationship, and they would have made less money. So they went with Eva Mendes, who's talented, sexy, and, most importantly, not too brown. Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is that I really like Janeane Garofalo.

	2009.11.02  21.08 So as you may know, my first neopolis character was Dimitri. What you may not know is that he's not the first one I applied for. Yes, there was another, who was turned down for being too awesome. (Also because at the time, the game was pretty well full of demons). But it's just as well, since parts of his personality got divvied up into Dimitri and George. But I found the application in my old emails, and I decided to post my old shame. Now, keep in mind that I hadn't played there yet, so the application mostly works on how I thought Neopolis operated as opposed to how it actually did. ( Lucien Deabs )

	2009.10.30  14.58 Dimitri Davies -> Sam Marshall Trish Terroretti -> Dimitri Davies Dimitri will be thrilled, at first. I'm not sure how it'll happen, but I think it'll be something simple. His cell phone will mess up, and he'll fix it without anything exploding. That's when the fun'll begin. He'll go at least thirty hours without sleep, just taking advantage of the fact that all of the things he's tried to invent over the years will actually be inventable. Eventually the novelty will wear off, and he'll realize that he can't read a lot of his books because they're all in Russian and Japanese and shit, he can't fly, and bruises actually stick around. Given his propensity for injuring himself, this is not good news. It's not going to result in one of those thrilling reunions with his old powers where he comes to Appreciate What He Had Always Had. He's just going to be less annoyed about being magic and start noticing that the things he's been trying to do with science for all these years can mostly be imitated. George Johnson -> Emily Worth Marco Tate -> George Johnson George will hate this from the get go. He won't understand what's happening, for one. George sleeps as a dragon, so when he wakes up human it will be weird. He'll also be on a big pile of pennies, which is what he uses as his bed, so that'll be problematic. And the fact that George is a Big Eater who suddenly finds himself unwilling to eat most anything with his name on it in the fridge will definitely be novel. But most of all, he's going to get super insecure about his dad. It doesn't help that he was adopted even without being a changeling, and he'll probably fret a lot. I think he'll be afraid to call his dad and talk to him out of fear that his dad won't love him anymore. Jimmy Snow -> Kai Mahoe Master Li -> Jimmy Snow Noooo fucking clue. Jimmy's still new enough that I feel like I don't have too solid a grip on his characterization yet, so I don't know what his Jekyll will be like, and I really don't know what his Hyde will be like. I think he might just be a douche. Oh my god, his Hyde personality is going to be a Bro. He's going to be such a Bro, you have no idea. He will pop the col'. He will point his speakers out his window while listening to the Dave Matthews. He will wear a visor upside down. Roxanne Rhodes -> Queenie Hero Anna Myles -> Roxanne Rhodes Roxanne plans to spoil JuJu while she has him. He will be getting lots of scritches, and she'll play snake games with him. Don't know what kind of snake games, but surely they exist. I doubt she'll fuss around much with Queenie's other powers, since she doesn't know any dead people and she doesn't have much to do with magic anyway.

	2009.10.29  19.56 Give me one of my characters and one of yours, and I'll tell you how they end up together and what their first-born is like, even if they are unqualified to have children. I'll try to do PBs, too! Name one of your characters and one of mine that interact semi-regularly, and I will make up 1 or 2 random pieces of trivia about them. NB: I probably won't find a PB for them. Also, some Crossover babies would be nice.

	2009.09.27  21.09 There's that sex meme going around, but I never finish memes I start, so instead, I'm just going to start doing them one at a time and upload them as I see fit. And if that offends you, just keep scrollin'. First off, Miss Sarah "Dick Grayson" James. ( The Life and Times of Sarah James' Vagina )

	2009.09.14  23.46 First, in crossover: ( Padma Mackenzie ) ( Sarah James ) ( Ian Greene ) Meanwhile, over in neopolis: ( Dimitri Davies ) ( George Johnson ) For those of you who don't care, a MEME: Give me one of your characters and one of my characters and I'll tell you exactly what they think of them -- what they like, what annoys them, what they wish they could change, and what they expect to happen in the future.

	2009.09.01  01.28 I've done this before, but I think it was back on GJ. I can't be buggered to check. But let's drop that bitch! Give me one of my characters and one of yours (PLEASE DO ONE AT A TIME, IF I GET LOTS I GET OVERWHELMED AND THEN NEVER DO THEM), and I'll tell you how they end up together and what their first-born is like, even if they are unqualified to have children. I will totally also give you a PB.

	2009.08.31  18.51 Of the Neo Zombiesplosion ( Dimitri Davies ) ( George Johnson )

	2009.08.30  18.51 jackissuperfly: You know Kevin Smith has a new Batman book out? commiesharefest: Yeah, I saw. Did you read it? How is it? jackissuperfly: It's not bad. Kind of... I think that sometimes Kevin Smith gets a bit wrapped up in being Kevin Smith, y'know? commiesharefest: What do you mean? jackissuperfly: Well, there's a scene that has Poison Ivy masturbating. commiesharefest: ...Can you send that to me?

	2009.08.14  19.37 Wherein Jack writes drabbles for a character at a game that he hasn't even been accepted to yet. takewingandsoar @ neopolis: ( Dimitri vs. the State Fair ) ( Dimitri vs. the Supername )

	2009.08.11  21.00 Currently have two applications pending in two different games: neopolis and crossover. Plus one more application that's done for a character in neopolis, but I haven't sent in yet since I haven't heard back on the hold. And I also wrote an application for a demonic character at neopolis before I found out there was a cap on demons. All told, that probably adds up to about twelve thousand words. That's a twelve and then three zeroes, within a month. Why can't I write this much when I'm trying to write for reals?

	2009.07.22  17.40 Is there a word for being super amused by how much of a dick your RP characters can be? I mean, I'm sure Marie only went to bed or whatever, but I like to imagine that the Twilight discussion just made Asher burst into flame. Maybe I'm self-centered. Eye dee kay. So Xover people! My question to you is, is there a Crossover Chat? And if so, where? And when? And can I play?

	2009.07.17  23.33 Name one of my characters and one of yours, and I will give you the title and subtitle (and possibly an excerpt) of the romance novel that tells the tale of their passion. Guys. Listen you guys. This is my new favorite meme ever.

	2009.07.15  17.36 Happyfaces. I'm back. Miss me terribly? Over the past week, commiesharefest and I went to a wedding (not ours), saw Harry Potter at midnight (it was okay), made out like crazy (among other things), saw Away We Go, had hot dogs at the kind of place you see on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, watched Watchmen and Sunshine Cleaners on pay-per-view, had breakfast in bed, and did several other things that I'm exercising extreme restraint in not bragging about. Also dinner in bed, a few times. Krys is a fry thief. She steals fries.

	2009.07.09  12.15 If you're looking for Jack over the next week, tough. I'm going to be in Columbus with commiesharefest, probably doin' some smooching. I'll check my mails from time to time, so comment or email or whatever if you want me.

	2009.06.23  13.20 This Week In: Memes I Stole From Krys 1) Pick one or more of my characters, and go here to generate 10 random numbers between 1 and 100. Generate a different set of numbers for each character you pick. 2) I will answer the corresponding questions from here from the point of view of the character(s). Or from third person, if I'm lazy.

	2009.06.03  13.13 Did you hear the one about the lich who was stuck in a dead-end job? Yeah, apparently phylactery will get you nowhere.

	2009.04.10  15.37 Three separate but equally weird dreams last night. Dream the First: Dora the Explorer was celebrating Easter by hunting for eggs, and the dumb bitch found a bird's nest and brought it to me, and I had to go on some stupid adventure to put it back. (That thing about mother birds leaving baby birds alone to die if they're disturbed is a myth, bee tee dub.) Anyway, they start hatching mid-adventure, and one of the fuckers bites me. I swear, I should have called INS on her. Dream the Second: Zombies and Halo. I had a shovel to kill zombies with, but everyone else kept putting down their weapons when they thought they were safe, and I was like, "Don't you fuckers ever pay attention? NOW YOU NEED MORE WEAPONS." Dream the Third: I was Nightwing, and Krys was Carrie Kelley, and Black Canary was the head of the League of Assassins. She was using her team to help train Carrie, and I wasn't supposed to be helping, but fuck that. Then she finished her training and we kissed for a long time. It was pretty awesome.

	2009.04.06  19.24 Who: Caro Smith and Padma Mackenzie What: First meetings Where: Washington Warnings: Violence and cuteness ( The sheer unlikelihood of this is astounding! )

	2009.03.08  18.58 What Time Is It? Daylight Memeing Time! In honor of Daylight Savings Time, I'm springing forward... with character revelations! Eh? Eh? Pick any of my characters (who can be found here), and I will tell you three secrets from their personal canon. Knowledge is strictly OOC unless otherwise noted, pretty babies.
