WISHED BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR...ONE WISH CHANGES EVERYTHING |
| MODS . RPG . OOC . GAME RECAPS |
 And Harry realized, with a shock so huge it seemed to root him to the spot, that Malfoy was crying - actually crying - tears streaming down his pale face into the grimy basin. Malfoy gasped, and Harry was confused as Malfoy looked down into his own empty hand as if he'd never seen it before then gulped and, with a great shudder, looked up into the cracked mirror and saw Harry staring at him over his shoulder. |
 Wished RP is an AU game that diverges from canon midway through Half-Blood Prince and aims to honor canon while allowing players to craft their own end to the story we all spent years following.
Wished is a thread and scene based, Trio-Era game that begins with the Trio's seventh year. Voldemort is still lurking, if weakened, and a final showdown still threatens - but how we get there, and what happens afterward, will look very different.

 Currently seeking: Ministry Members, Death Eaters & Sympathizers, Younger 'No Name' Hogwarts Students. Males in general and especially Ravenclaw males! Preference will be given to Muggleborn students, because we need to even some things out. Specific characters being looked for are: Amycus Carrow, Anthony Goldstein, Percy Weasley, Fenrir Greyback, Stephen Cornfoot, Kevin Entwhistle, Lee Jordan, and Parvati Patil.
There are many students being looked for specifically, so please have a look at our Available Characters list and see if there's anyone you would like to consider. We have many name only students, and we do love helping people integrate characters, so if you have a character idea that you want to try out, or a character from a past game that you would like to try again, we have an active cast of both 7th years and 6th years, and they are all looking for their missing classmates. If you'd like to step into some roles that you know will have automatic interaction, you can check out our Requested Storylines as well.

Somebody I watch recently (within the last month or so) posted icons of Nico Tortorella. And yes, I'm making my own set of him, but still... I'd love to know who it was. I'm like going through icon journals until I can't see straight and just not finding it, and going back through my flist is just way way way too sloggy. *sighs* And I don't think it even goes back far enough.

1000 words of NaNo today. I'm at least a day behind as far as wordcount goes. Very frustrating. But I am getting there.
Gaming machine attacked by toxic malware today, so I lost at least an hours worth of time, and had a bit of a fit trying to get the bloody thing *off* my computer. *sighs* Gone, now, but really not a happy thing.
For those of you who have followed my family issues with my mother's side of the family--good thanksgiving this year. There were only eight of us total, so it was nice and quiet, which means no huge blowups.

the LIGHT OF MAY |
|
On May 1st, 2009, nation leaders spoke together to reveal a truth to the world: the supernatural world is real. Vampires, werewolves, and more exist. They have been known to the government for a long time, and now they are coming out of the shadows - and they come with a message. They are not a threat. They mean no danger to humans. But there are other things out there that do.
The days that followed changed everything most people believed they knew about the world, about history, and most importantly, about themselves. Celebrities, politicians, the family down the street - they began revealing their true identities, and telling the world what they really were. Missing people that had been turned against their will came out of hiding, and orginizations popped up to reunite them with their families. The revealing of the supernatural was penned in the media as the Light of May, as society made room for the supernatural.
It wasn't easy. Many, human and supernatural alike, were terrified of what this would mean. Some wanted to keep the supernatural abominations down. Leading figures of both Democratic and Republican parties were revealed to be supernaturals themselves, and joined together to fight for civil rights for the supernatural. It is revealed that if the supernatural were wiped out, half of the entire world's population would be gone. Independent parties popped up through-out the country, opposing supernatural rights, and the fight goes on. But those aren't the only battles being fought.
Why did the Light of May happen? If the supernatural has always existed, why are they only making themselves known now? For centuries, those with supernatural blood have been hunted, held, and killed - all for the benefits of their blood to hunters, and vampires who don't want to play by the rules of etiquette. There was a time when the angels, and even the fae, fought to protect them. But the fae have been extinct for hundreds of years, and worse - the angels seem to have disappeared. There is nothing fighting the demons of the world at bay now. The human race is at risk, and they are not alone.
_________________________
The Light of May is an original supernatural game, taking place in a time when the world is adjusting to the world that has been hidden since the beginning of time. The game is set in Ann Arbor, Michigan, centered around a fictional township called Scarlet Oak. Characters of many races are up for play, as are those trusty humans. The Light of May will be focusing on characters adjustments and the eventual struggle against demons, hunters, and more.
The Light of May is for original characters only. Pre-existing fandom characters will not be allowed. Many wanted characters and storylines! |

This, too, shall pass.
Also, happy Thanksgiving day to alllll my friends over there. Have a good family/turkey/what-have-you day. And, yes, I'm very, very thankful for my friends. Always.
Also, totally did not need loud muses moving in right now. Not that I'm not enjoying them, but damn, I have work enough to do. Still, I'm almost at 45K with NaNo, and will likely break 50K tomorrow night at some point. Pretty much on time. Will probably take 3-4K more to finish the outline, and I will, too, because I really really want to write those last two chapters/pieces.

[26 Nov 2009|02:33am] |
Hello everyone, we're the mods of the_exodus_rpg a brand new Marauders Era game that has been open since Halloween and we will be closing next November. That's right, we'll only be open for one year. Why you ask? Because we want to solely explore the final year of the war against Voldemort. The game will be dark, bloody, and yes, characters will die in game. Still interested?
The game opened Halloween, 1980, with a battle in which the Potters thrice defied the Dark Lord and were forced to go into hiding. We will close on the day after their deaths. The time in between will be spend unraveling how they got from point A to point B.
We're currently seeking the following roles:
-Frank Longbottom is needed for many reasons. A. His son is a potential Prophecy child, so he needs to be around to keep ickle Neville safe. Alice is already in-game and needs him around to defy the Dark Lord with. -Peter Pettigrew to round out the Marauders. We have Sirius and Remus in game and Peter will get to switch sides during the game. -Xenophilius Lovegood, your wife is in game and about to find out that she is pregnant with Luna. -Rodolphus and Rabastan Lestrange, Bella needs you two to get into trouble with. -And in general we need Order members and Death Eaters, along with many others.
And unfortunately, this is the time of year where people get overwhelmed with school work and life, so we have lost a few members and we seek the following recasts: -James and Lily Potter: They're currently in hiding with Harry, with Dumbledore's help. -Caradoc Dearborn: Order member, Auror, and father-to-be. -Esther Avery: Alexander Avery's Muggle sympathetic wife. -And finally, Lucius Malfoy: Lucius and Narcissa are happily married and raising Draco. Lucius is a Death Eater and has an iffy relationship with his fellow Death Eater and sister-in-law, Bellatrix Lestrange.
Mostly, we need DEATH EATERS, we cannot emphasize this any more. Like we said, we plan to opens things off with a battle, which means both sides of the war need to be evened up. So if you have an evil muse in there, send the over, we guarantee good times for them.
A list of all characters can be found here and a list of available characters can be found here along with the Premise. We hope to see some of you come on by and if you have any questions, feel free to contact the mods here or at exodusmods@live.com.

So yay I have a job. I had the interview yesterday (at a surprisingly large strawberry farm). It was really bizarre cause it ended up being more of a chat than an actual interview. And I'd been thinking okay i'll hear back in a couple of days or whatever and be told whether i have the job or not... um.... yeah that didn't happen. The lady, and I can't remember what was said exactly but... she said 'somethingsomething and it doesn't matter anyway, you've got the job.'
And in my head I'm just going 'WHAT? I'VE GOT THE JOB?'. It was just really strange. Anyway I start Monday 1pm... it's not much, I'll be compiling the tallies the workers have and taking care of the shop front. But it's something.
Oh Layne, I almost have a tag done for you... I had most of it and was going to post before going to bed last night but it still needed a bit extra. But I swear it'll be up soon.

Solemnly Sworn A Dark Marauder Era RPG 1978 ...
No one is safe.
Frequent attacks and disappearances have rippled through the Wizarding World with no clear connection or reason. Scholars, children and Ministry officials are being picked off at random leaving fear in the wake of destruction and death as Lord Voldemort ascends to power. The Ministry is hard pressed to end the struggle as Death-Eaters watch their every internal move so closely that resistance is nearly futile.
The world is dividing, and there is little way of escaping it as loyalties shift beneath the feet of the innocent.
But life goes on amidst the atrocities; people fall in love, get married and try to adapt to a world of war. In the shadows there are some who would fight back. The Order of the Phoenix is hardly more than a fleeting thought of revolution, but as Death-Eaters gain influence amongst the fragile minds within the castle, students have begun taking the fight into their own hands.
Which side will you choose, and who will succeed?
|
Solemnly Sworn finds the Wizarding world in the summer of 1978 following a canon timeline with limited allowances for crack plot. In the last lingering days before Welcoming Feast the Marauders prepare to begin their 7th year in the midst of a progressing war.
We're an open, friendly community with devoted moderators seeking an easy going atmosphere with emphasis on character development and player-generated plot.
Set to open at the fulfillment of 10 characters.

B&W feels like a copout, but at least solves the blotchy skin problems. It's the graininess of the quality of the image, under all that mood lighting.

I am surprised and irritated that there is something WORSE than Dark Blue to icon, for lighting issues alone. And that would be HBP. Because OMG, the darkness! Everyone turns into pixilated ridiculousness after the light correction is done. It's like who turned Draco into a vampire? Man. This is just HIDEOUS. Some of these icons will be stop-gap icons until I can redo the set into something better because I just... I hate some of these. I really really do.

Dear friends,
I need your help. The flu of death has set me behind on nanowrimo, and the shiny things at neopolis have been way more interesting than the dreaded 'middle o' booklandia'. What I have decided to do, is challenge myself to write 6000 words in 24 hours. So between now at 7 AM CST, I need you to yell at me if I even *think* of signing into chat or checking the game.
My word count at the time of this post is 36,193. I am not allowed to stop until this thing reads 42,193.
ETA: Unexpected visit from HS BFF has thrown me waaaay off :(

But now, I go to bed. Once I wake up, the madness shall begin!

I am on the biggest Hugh Grant kick right now. Watched Love Actually last weekend, now I'm watching Music & Lyrics, and I'll probably watch About A Boy and Notting Hill soon. And he has a new movie coming out that I swear I probably wouldn't care a thing about if it wasn't him in it.
Music & Lyrics also gets to feature Jason Street being all awesome in the music video, and Mr. Shuester from Glee, so that just adds to the awesomeness.
I think I maybe had a point to this post when I first started it but now I don't know what that was.

The year is 1978. The war against the Death Eaters has been boiling under the surface for almost a decade now. It was little things at first, easy to ignore, escalating to bigger attacks, bigger crimes, and of course, retaliation. Now the country is about ready to tear itself apart as the Ministry steps up their attempts to defeat Voldemort and no one is really sure who they should trust, if they should trust anyone at all. Who can you turn to when your own government is as likely to kill you as the masked criminals roaming the streets?
Even the muggles are starting to notice. Attacks in muggle places are becoming more frequent, the Death Eaters getting more bold. And everyone is asking the same question.
How long before it's open war? The First War is a Post-Warts, MWPP era RPG. We are canon through November 1st, 1978 and then we diverge, allowing the characters to tell their own stories.
Currently we are most interested in: Order Members, Death Eaters, and MLE Employees
