not a perfect metaphor

Long, long ago, on an Internet far, far away, there was a game. It sort of sprang up organically and sustained itself for a bit over a year before RL and/or Milliways pulled us all away.
( in which I wax rhapsodic for a while on the topic )
Anyway, cut to last week, when I finally got around to reading Unseen Academicals. It's an excellent book on its own, but a certain bit character's reappearance for the first time in several books caught my attention - and promptly hit me with a plot bunny. For now, I'm only posting this here, as it may not make much sense to people without the context. It's taking the 'verse we were messing about it and moving forward to a bit before UA starts.
(If anyone cares to try anyway: The first POV character in this is an OC I played for a while; the game premise, such as there was one, was that PCs - Powered by Celery - became widely available; yes, this is still my OTP, nearly nine years later; Adrian did have himself a fan club; one of the major in-game plots was Lilith having a go at Ankh-Morpork, with semi-disastrous results.)
( sort of a love letter to the RP that ate my senior year of high school )

Meme time again, this time the one with the icons. jediknightmuse gave me a handful to talk about, and I thought I should actually post the meme to my own journal for a change. XD
( in which I talk iconses )
Copy-editing gig continues apace, and has a way of making me think. Otherwise, things aren't terribly exciting here. Far as reading goes, I'm up to The Last Olympian and still very much loving the Percy.

And now, the meme as promised, courtesy of allfireburns:
( the one with the writing )

oof. Heating pads are proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. (Apologies to Ben Franklin, but srsly.)
Meanwhile, a meme, courtesy of sotto_voice:
Comment on this post, and I will choose seven interests from your profile and ask you to explain what they mean, and why you are interested in them. Post this along with your answers in your journal so that others can play.
( in a nutshell: RP hijinks and yummy dessert )
Also, for great eventual PMOG fun: Link me to your LJ or IJ panfandom games! I know Milliways and the inn, obviously - and also MM, now I think of it.

Gather all your RP journals, list the characters and any AU versions you RP. Open the post to the public so even lurkers can ask the muses questions. Respond with that RP account.
( ye olde list )
And to make this more interesting, if you have any questions for me about the headvoices, ask them, too.
::insert obligatory finals-related Jedi Mind Trick here::

And now, interests explained, as requested by Bee.
( anyone who wants some to answer - or wants to ask about more of mine - go on and comment. )
In other news, the parents shall be home tomorrow.

Things I do when I don't want to sleep: Get an old journal ready for use in a new game.
And get all nostalgic over the old game once again. Not that this is surprising - I mean, the thing took up my senior year of high school and a bit afterward, and it was an utter blast. I still have some indexing to do if I want to get utterly everything saved.
...It's going to be so weird using that journal for utterly different purposes.

This? Is the sort of thing I go back and tag old entries for - I'd entirely forgotten that. XD
In other news, I need Hex back, and I also need Blank White Cards and company next week.

Found this while going back and tagging old LJ entries (note to self: Tag/memory old Disc RP stuff in appropriate journals?), and feel it merits redoing.
( LJ history meme )

So I had a thought earlier, of the Discworld persuasion.
Back in the discworld_rpg days, I had reason to work out that the events of Moving Pictures made it to the Counterweight Continent, but only barely; given travel time and all that, they were only one or two clicks in when everything went to pieces in Ankh-Morpork.
But it just hit me today that there's no reason someone over there didn't make a click of their own. And now I kinda want to see the thing about the overgrown swamp dragon ravaging Bes Pelargic. (What's a movie parody without a riff on Godzilla, after all? XD)
That could, of course, just be because my brain is Weird.
