kleenexwoman: A caricature of me looking future-y.  (Liverpool Fantasy)

Entry tags:

crowded enough in here?

Poet's Collective got out early, and the schedule I set for myself tonight decrees that I be back at the dorm no later than 11:30 in order to watch "Futurama" while I lazily do my Econ. So I've got plenty of time to surf the various silly communities that tend to pop up in LJ.

I kind of want to make up a character journal for [livejournal.com profile] sages_of_chaos or [livejournal.com profile] theatrical_muse. Just because...eh, they're fun. And I like trying to get into characters' heads.

Question is, which character? Posting as myself would be rather boring, I feel, unless I made up a character for myself, which would be unforgiveably silly and Mary Sue-ish. Which character that I've ever written or otherwise known would I possibly be able to imitate well enough not to suck?

I'm thinking either George McFly (well, of course) or a Philip K. Dick character. Horselover Fat might be kind of fun to play...

any ideas?


ETA: Now that I think about it, I might be able to get some interesting responses from a few of my own sillier real-life dilemnas. Slightly exaggerated, of course.

ETAA: Oh, dude, I just remembered! I used to play Agnes Nitt on a Discworld RPG too. She was [livejournal.com profile] perdita_x_dream. I even made two user icons for her, based on a couple of photos I took of myself (one for Agnes, me with my hair down and a witch hat on--this was back before I cut my hair off; and one for Perdita, with my hair pulled back and some seriously horrible makeup on). Wish I could remember the password.

ETAA,A: REMEMBERED THE PASSWORD! Hahahahah.

heyyy *sorta related* Whatever happened to your involvement in that HP RPG that you spoke of over the summer, which I ended up joining? I know it kind of died and stuff... but like... HP RPGing = TEH FUNZ.

Hrm, I remember that. I really have no idea what happened to it. I'm not sure I ever remember the name of the community, sadly. I do know I kind of quit being Percy because there really wasn't anything for me to do. I was playing him at some kind of Muggle government job, and I know he turned into a giant insect as some kind of stress-related Kafka disorder...

Maybe I should find the comm and take it up again.

it's [livejournal.com profile] epilogue_rpg, but as I've said, it's been dead for quite a while. But there are tons of HP RPG communities out there :D Like, the two that I'm a part of *cough cough* Both of which are devoid of Percy. One even has most of the rest of the Weasley clan, and I even play Arthur (as well as Snape). So there'd be much more for you to do.

Ah. Ok. Now I remember.

Awesome. Which communities are you on?
Worried that the storylines might not jibe with Percy's thing, though--I had some things planned out for him...

Ah well, if you're at all interested, the one with many Weasleys is: [livejournal.com profile] tainted_sky_, and the other one (that I play Hermione in) is on GJ: Finite Incantatem (http://www.greatestjournal.com/~firp). The second one has just started, and the mods are still pretty much up in the air over what it's really about, so perhaps your idea for Percy would best fit in there, although the first one still has a lot of flexibility as well.

Aargh, Greatestjournal. Which means I couldn't use [livejournal.com profile] pompous_percy. Oh well. Hm.

I'll look over the info and think about it. Thanks for letting me know!

You should joiiiin ^^;; But that's just the rabid recruiter in me exerting pressure on you. Though I would be pleased :D

It looks cool, actually. I just sent an E-mail to the mod.

So we shall see.

Yay!

w00t, Glad to see you're all join-ified.

Oooh! Hey, if you wanna take on another character, you could be Y.T. or Hiro Protagonist.

Or maybe I could. Hm.

[identity profile] kleenexwoman.livejournal.com 2005-02-24 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
You could, couldn't you? You wrote Y.T. pretty well; it'd be kind of cool to see you doing that. 'Cause I've already got Agnes.
