when you dream

So Rue has been in my head for almost a year now, but I'm finally getting her all out in one place. I finished her 4e character sheet, and adapted most of the stats into this profile. It's a bit needlessly long in some spots... I apologize for that. Her personality is pretty simple but currently eluding me, and with a ton of work on the horizon, I wanted to get out at least this much while I struggled with her personality coming to words on paper. This is a pretty subpar sheet for me... Bah. Maybe I'll make it better in the future. But isn't it so pretty? I love this user's work!

I need more ElfQuest quotes for this, too! >_<

( still under some construction... )

Who's got two thumbs and is a Hufflepuff? I'm a Hufflepuff! <3 Pottermore says so, and I've been saying so for years! I've been on Pottermore for about a week now. I hate how potions glitches so much, so I haven't really brewed much, and boo on wizard dueling not being around. And I FOUND everything, because... Hufflepuff. <3 I love Hufflepuffs. Even though our dorm is silly. We have a VINEGAR TRAP. And we're right by the KITCHENS. But we have to crawl to get into the dorm room, so clearly, our girls wear lots of pretty underwear.

My wand and what my wand says about me below the cut!

What, what, WHAT am I DOING? Where is my Sassy Gay Friend when I need him?! Damn.

That's right, I started a FOURTH 100 themes list, this time for... fml. Fanfiction. And I've stuck to it better than that other list. I should get back on that... *Coughs* But anyway, yes. Read what I wrote for the last list and apply it here, except it won't be as life-changing because dammit, I can't use this for real life. That's okay. Anything to keep me writing; I've started to rust and I hate that.

( Comes preloaded with THREE finished challenges! )

So I've start to play tabletop again, finally! <3 I'm so excited. I have spent the past couple of days honing out this character that kind of sprung up out of nowhere when I was making characters; she's a lot of fun and I hope to explore her even more. I might post up other tabletop character sheets as I play more!

Introducing my newest Roma character... Runa Aethelwine! This is a character built for Vampire: the Requiem.

Since I've had such a bad case of writer's block lately, I've finally decided on a series of exercises for myself. I'm doing the 100 Themes Challenge... times three. I'm going to write drabbles for each theme - I didn't give myself a length, but they'll probably be one to five pages or so each. To make it a bit more difficult, I am forcing myself to not use any characters I've got in any of the books I'm working on, and to enforce that, I'm posting in my most public of social networking sites. If anyone's ever bored, they're welcome to read them. :3 I can't promise how good they'll be, though - these public posts are my stretching, and will not be as involved as my private exercises involving getting my act together on either editing my graphic novel and starting the second one or finishing my YA novel.

I am also doing this times three to increase focus on different areas. I am doing one set of themes on nonfiction, one set on fiction, and one set on the fantastic, which will be mostly fairytale-esque fantasy and steampunk.

I am going to try one a day... we'll see how that goes. When I don't forget about this journal, I'll probably post bi-weekly updates or something.

( The lists )

So I am stealing this HALF A YEAR LATER ALMOST from Tori because I CAN and DAMMIT I need to post again on here because I forget things.

( Pronunciation/Voice Meme! )

Oh, hello little CDJ I promised I would keep up with! I'm bad at promises. Updating everything was a pain.

I think I'll throw in a character meme or something after this weekend (EXP Con whoo~), in that brief period between one convention and working on costumes for another. This was mostly to blow the dust off this thing and because, darnit, I have some awesome icons and I wanted to use one. XD

Oh man, now I have to choose one...

You know what? I lied. I'm going to dump a couple of photos from Dragon*Con. Because I can. And because Squirrel Girl.

( Show of hands, who else here has beaten Dr. Doom? Anyone? That's what I thought. )

Because I'm a sheep and it's going around:

1. Pick a character that I play and ask him/her 5 questions. It can be anything. In return, the "character(s)" will respond with their answers! (Questions can be split up among different characters.)

2. Pick 1 character that I play and I will tell you (3) traits I share in common with them and (3) things that I don't.

3. List at least 1 (or more) pairing/relationship/friendship that my character is involved in, and I will link a song that best describes it from my character's perspective.
