Meme time!

Heh, just because I don't want to pester [personal profile] ambitious_woman and [personal profile] rude_not_ginger to have to answer me again, doesn't mean I'm not gonna join in the love!!

Reply to this post with anything you'd like and I'll tell you why I friended you and two things I love about how you play your muse. The only catch? You have to repost this as well.

We should take over the world together.

[identity profile] notevendarkyet.livejournal.com 2008-06-04 02:00 pm (UTC)(link)
The world possibly needs being taken over, too.

Right. Let's see. First I saw the muse around sws and tts and other writing comms, and well by then I was already interacting with [personal profile] semi_auto_magic and [profile] music_and_magic and had started to learn this and that about the fandom. Haha including peeked into Storm Front and I think I'd already said that that far, Murph was the muse that I might take on. So of course, Murph interested me.

... and then I finally got around to gobbling up the books and starting journal(s) in the fandom, and then, how could I not friend you?

Oh, and the fact that Connie like Tonks (even though not mine) also helped ;)

Two things? Just two things?

Well. She's unstoppable. And, you manage to get her vulnerability very realistic, through her strength - with the thoughts about family most often, but overall. She's not made of stone and platinum. She only looks and succeeds that way.

Yes, despite her "magic isn't real" phase, she was always amused by Tonks.

Aw, thank you. I'm glad I make Connie here vulnerable but still her typical kick ass self. And that you enjoy the writing. *is now warm and fuzzy feeling inside*

Warm and fuzzy's the idea! I should make a repost of [personal profile] rude_not_ginger's other most awesome meme...

If you and other!Murph take over the world... I want Italy. And New York.

Well. You'll have to do a lot of flying, but *shrugs* As long as you keep the innocent protected and all that...

Hah. Well, let me say first that I'm still trying to get the hang of original characters, both writing and reading them. But Anna makes a lot of sense to me, and there's also something so very sunny about her that I just wanted to make sure I am caught up on her by having her on the friends list?

Two things. Open mind. And adventurousness. Both are very hard to measure in right, especially for somebody who's had bad experience like Anna has; and is leading a life as much in contact with possibly the worst sides of human nature. But she keeps the spark of seeing the world colorful and special, and... kudos for that!

Aww thank so much, hon!

[identity profile] wild-maggie.livejournal.com 2008-06-04 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
*comments!* Any of my muses. I think you know most of the active ones. :)

[identity profile] notevendarkyet.livejournal.com 2008-06-04 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Why I friended you? Because I like your writing. I actually thought I'd friended you earlier with Tonks, but I guess I meant to or got confuzzled between the main journal and the one for OLR. (*ponders whether to try infusing a couple of posts there and stacks that thought for contemplation later*) But it's always as simple as that. I didn't want to miss posts that maybe didn't apply to my muses enough for others to point out to me, but I knew I'd be interested in!

Heh. I'm going to go and generalize. Sue me.

a. You give your muses both a spark of being special, and enough mundaneness to make them believable, no matter how unreal, made-up, magical they are. I am almost both amazed by them (in the best sense of the word), and can follow the inner logic of what they do / say, and I think the balance of those two is precious.

b. You have the courage to try out a situation, no matter where it might get the muses, and I greatly admire that. I either haven't reached that self-confidence, or won't ever fully be free from freaking out about stuff that may or may not come, but I sure appreciate your ability and williness to just... play. And see what happens.

<3

Because you find the best vi-- Wait, I did that already...

With this journal? Because you told me to! ;) <3 (no, honest, you did when I was yattering about this muse...) And since I really really don't mind getting reminders five differnt ways to GO AND READ YOUR WORK NOW THAT I'M ALMOST CAUGHT UP WITH CANON, I guess it's a good thing! ;)

I love how laid back both you are, and how in-character laid back your Ten is. Up for the adventure, up to exploring stuff, up to making it up as you/he go along, up to finding out what interesting thing is happening right over there!, and what amazing stuff THAT person has to say...

And I also love how you have the will to go and make your statement when something's not. right. - both you as a player, and the Doctor that you write. Just so that the Universe doesn't get destroyed by the bad guys. Kudos, hun!

IN UR MEME. FISH'N FO COMPLIMENTS.

Any of the pups.

Because you gave one of the ideas that worked soooo wonderfully. Because I loved Dami. And because you finally managed to drag me into this fandom. And... do I need to list more reasons? ;)

I love it that you play your muses thoughtfully. You consider their posts, rather than just plop something and then try to deal with the consequences (as yours truly is prone to).

And I love that you keep all your muses true to your idea of them. You can incorporate suggestions from others, but you won't ever write a post or tag that feels false to you. And that makes for consistent characters.

<33

Go for it. :)

Ha! I think I recently mentioned that I saw Thomas and knew he was Harry's brother even before I got into the books (which is fine), and then I did get into the books - and started Karrin, and had to friend everybody. But for added tickle: your awesomeness with Thomas added to my willingness to start Justine... just sayin'.

Just two? You mean I've got to choose between the charm, flirtatiousness, banter with Harry, confictedness, dealing with the complexities of his awesomeness, the awesomeness, the in-characterness regardless of AU-ing, the greatness in exploring situations he'd not be into in canon (o hai thar, mom!), including the illusionary scene with her in OLR... HMPH.

I love how you bring out the conflict in him. Because AU or canon, he's conflicted. It's mostly Justine and Harry's fault, I'm certain, but he is. (and, in the other 'verse, the way he was raised, of course...) He has times when he can't not surrender to his demon, but the rest of the time, he's denying himself in ways that most people wouldn't understand. And you bring that out without reducing him to a whiner.

And I love how you manage to bring out his attractiveness in roleplay without having to constantly make it explicit with 'he's irresistible' kind of ooc / non-speech comments. You lure people into reacting to him the appropriate way... and that? Is pretty awesome.

MUCH LOVE!

Awww, I'm blushing. :)
