Things to do when the BBC steals your talents.

So I was supposed to be filming today, but then the BBC extended a shoot and one of my actors pulled out at the last moment. FUN. At least this means a free Saturday. I'll hopefully be filming tomorrow instead--not with the BBC actor, though. We'll have to make do with a different one. If she gets back to us and lets us know whether she has time.

Of course, now my entire crew is whining at me. BUT TOMORROW IS VALENTINE'S DAY. So? You'll still have the evening. Besides, Valentine's Day is a stupid, petty holiday anyway. It's not like it's Christmas.

In totally unrelated news, I really, really want to try playing one of my muses in a comm again. Preferably human!Ten, but I'll try anyone. I played in Taxonomites, which didn't work out, and then tried Ars Arcanum, which died before it properly started. I would probably want to mod the comm, though. I set one up once, but I don't think the person I set it up with is interested in doing it anymore. I might just go ahead and do it by myself. BECAUSE I TOTALLY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TO DO ANYWAY.

I have to sit down and write today. I need to finish my Haiti fic, and I need to finish a 10 page script by Monday. Especially now that I won't have time to do this tomorrow. Sigh.

I would really not have a problem with it being March 24 now.

Basically, yeah. I just get very frustrated with the constant small talk that happens in a lot of comms most of the time. It's like, if I want that, I can go to [livejournal.com profile] dear_mun or some other dressing room. I'd want a comm to actually give me some story lines to work with. What's the point otherwise?

Which characters do you play?

*nods* Yeah, I see what you mean. People want different things from RP. I don't mind small talk generally, but if that's all there is, it can get dull.

Well, currently I play Tifa (Final Fantasy VII), Rinoa (FFVIII) and Steiner (FFIX) at a Final Fantasy only RP. I also play Mogget (Old Kingdom books by Garth Nix) and Sue White (Green Wing, surreal sitcom set in a hospital) in a different comm. Homeless muses I'd like to play again include Courtney Gears from Ratchet & Clank 3, Lyra Silvertongue from His Dark Materials and especially Marisa Coulter (also His Dark Materials), but as well as being unable to find somewhere suitable for them, I'm not sure that I'd have the time.

...That's rather a lot. :P

They really, really do. It's so hard to find the right person to play with, sometimes. I did, eventually, but it took some looking.

Ooh, a lot of characters from a lot of fandoms I know nothing about. Lol. I have quite a few muses, too--11, at last count, six of them Doctor Who characters (a canon!Ten, an AU!human!Ten, a canon!Simm!Master, a Christina from the Easter special, a Rani, and a TARDIS), one Supernatural (Castiel; I couldn't resist), one Doctor Who/BtVS mash-up (Spike, but he's a Time Lord, it's a long story), one X-Men (Jimmy Logan/Wolverine from the origins movie), one Merlin character (Arthur, because he is cute), and one OC (an angel I haven't done much with yet). The muses, they kind of . . . multiply. xD

But I don't play at any comms, except for the occasional poke at [livejournal.com profile] dear_mun. Most of my RP'ing happens in chatplay. Which is fun, but a little isolated, if you know what I mean.

Yeah, I didn't think you'd be familiar with any of them. :P I love Doctor Who but somehow I've never really wanted to play any DW characters. If I did, it would probably be either the Doctor or the Master... Probably the Master, I like villains, but I couldn't possibly play either of them because there is a mountain of canon history I just don't know about, and I'm not interested enough in Classic Who to watch it.

*nods* I wish you good luck with finding a comm then! Or developing the one you've already created, whichever you choose to do. I'm sorry I don't have any recommendations for you.
