"Forming characters! Whose? Our own or others? Both. And in that momentous fact lies the peril and responsibility of our existence."- Elihu Burritt

Well, we don't need to worry about the nature or virtue of our character, since this is the out-of-character thread  ;D

Okay so my character biography is up. I hope it is to your satisfaction. It's your turn now!

Haha your characters sounds hilarious. Just waiting for everyone that we discussed this with to pop in a description or snoop around. I sent out PMs as you know. I'm thinking I"ll open it tomarrow -nods- Maybe later tonight even. We shall see the response on it : )

Oh yay! And Dawg showed me how to mass PM. ;] Just separate the names of the people that you want to e-mail by a comma. That way you don't have to e-mail a huge list of people individually.

I'm running off for some delicious chocolate marble cake.

Normally I wouldn't give random status updates, but since this is supposed to be a real-time game, I figured it's appropriate to let you know of any lags that may arise.

Hey all, sorry for not posting, currently have a migraine. Will catch up tomorrow.

maidjennifer

Okay got my character up, hope she's not too depressing for everyone.

Paradox

I think the Corner Sweets shop could cheer her up!

If not, I always love a dark, disturbed character, so either way, welcome to the game.

Just so you all know, I will not be able to post for a while. I have a cold, a ton of schoolwork, and a computer that may crap out any day now.

I'm afraid that Spa's character may be filing for divorce soon.  :'(

Don't worry about it Para. Your character is safe in the basement. Don't worry about the divorce. Feel better soon.

Paradox

Thanks Spa.

If you need/want to, feel free to take control of him for a while. I'm sure you will need to that coffee machine back up and running at some point  :P

She'll just buy a new one eventually. Go to the Dr.

Paradox

Gregori will have it fixed before she needs to buy a new one, good lord! He might be scatterbrained at time, but he's not a procrastinator.

As for going to the doctor, it's not that bad of a cold. I just need to continue sucking down massive quantities of Vitamin C and try to rest a bit.

Hello everyone sorry haven't been able to post yet but I'm finally getting caught up with everything and will today. :)

This is a really neat idea for a RP! I'm excited to visit the shop.

If and when you come up with a character, please be sure to post a description of him/her in the Character Index.

Take a look at other people's entries for examples of what to include.

Heh, thanks. Hopefully he'll be back in action soon enough. Thomas seems interesting. I look forward to reading more of him in the future. If I ever have time, I intend to write a character who speaks only in rhyme. Thomas' secret poet side would probably enjoy meeting him/her.

Yeah, welcome!

I just noticed that almost everyone seems to be using my Character Summary format. I didn't even mean for it to become standard like that, but I'm glad it's being put to good use.

Your description was short and sweet silver, and as you said, you can always add more later!

Welcome to the shop, Claudia!

I just color-coded the Character Index according to the gender of each character (red for female, blue for male). We have more than twice as many females as we have males!

Because of the subject matter of the game, I suppose?

XxUnDeAdMiStReSsXx

*sigh* Also, at least in my experience, girls are more likely to RP in a thread like Corner Sweets than boys are.

Paradox

Yes, that is pretty much what I was referring to; still, we have a few males mixing it up in there. We even have a Lady playing as a male, I think!


"More than ever, the creation of the ridiculous is almost impossible because of the competition it receives from reality."-Robert A. Baker

XxUnDeAdMiStReSsXx

That is great. I would play a male, but it is still a little hard to assume my male character when there is a thread strong in female participation.

Wistful Dream

I think we should draw the first day to a close, what does everyone else think?

Before I commit some faux par.  I just want to double check that this RP is open to the unwashed and unapproved such as myself.  My fingers are getting awful itchy and my head is woolly from NaNo so I am reckoning I could do with some relaxation.  ;D

Paradox

Corner Sweets is indeed open to the unwashed masses; however, we ask that you please post a character description in the index prior to posting in the actual game thread.
