Well, I'm sure this surprises no-one (especially if you're on my plurk) but I've come to the realization that I really can't justify holding onto my characters anymore. Specifically, this applies to Jecht, Reeve, and James. I've loved every second of CR with them over the last 2-3 years, respectively, but they've all reached their end points. They're post canon, I've done everything I can think of to do with them, and they've just settled, so it's time to let them go.

Don't worry, though! I will still be here with this crazy bugger, and maybe with just him, I'll be able to give his tags and shenanigans the attention they deserve.

Love you always, DDD!

Duuuuuucks. Is it possible that I'm the first one?

LOL IN B4 NOVEMBER HIATUS.

So I'm doing Nano, as you might know if we're plurk friends, and this year my personal goal is 75,000 words. That means that, unlike previous years where I lolhiatused, I am actually doing it this time. I WISH I KNEW HOW TO QUIT YOU DDD.

So. Backtags will happen. Plurk or PM me if you have something you need James, Lord A, Jecht, or Reeve on. Anything we've discussed prior to this but haven't started yet, I will try to make happen in between sobbing and writing frantically. Current threads, including the halloween ball, will be backtagged like a boss. And if, for whatever reason, you can't reach me, everyone's cast/extended cast can make the calls on my boys.

I hope you all have a lovely month, and I'll see you in December.

Funny story, ducks, remember when Jen said "post will be up tomorrow" and then she meant Friday so she posted it Friday, only she didn't, that was a dream, and she realized that at 3:40 on Sunday morning?

Lord A's Halloween post is now up. I am so sorry for the delay, but feel free to backtag and/or assume. Happy Halloween, everyone!

Hey DDD!

Unfortunately, Al's hit the end of his streak here. His family have all moved on, and I barely log into his journal anymore. I'm hoping to bring him back some day, but for now, it's time to say goodbye.

Hey DDD,

I hate to do this, but let's make it quick like a band-aid. I'm overextended, and there are some tags I just avoid when they come into my inbox, so I think it's time to drop some people from my muselist.

With that in mind, please:

manage_circle del_read brbgonefishin
manage_circle del_access brbgonefishin

manage_circle del_read hastypingtodo
manage_circle del_access hastypingtodo

manage_circle del_read snakeinmahboot
manage_circle del_access snakeinmahboot

I've loved playing all of them and I'm crazy about their CR, but I just don't have the energy to do them justice. Thanks for indulging me as long as you did!

Ducklings! This is just a reminder that the Steampunk Ball is now open! Technically the ball takes place tomorrow evening, but it's up now for ease of tagging! Go wild, you guys. I know you know how.

For anyone with questions, the basic info post is here Or, comment here with any questions and I'll be happy to answer them.

Side Note: It wouldbe terribly crass of Lord Akeldama not to greet every guest at his party, but I'm not gonna fool myself into thinking I can keep up with you guys. Feel free to assume he was a charming host. <3

( and now, some brief tl;dr about aethographic transmitters. )

I think I forgot something. Did I forget something? Oh, right. STAY AWESOME, DDD.

Hellooooooo, ducks.

For those of you who haven't yet had the pleasure of meeting him, this is Lord Akeldama. He is a charming vampire from a lightly steampunk Victorian-era world, and you're all invited for a lovely evening of dining! Dancing! Dirigibles! Dandies! Other things beginning with D!

On March 31st, Lord Akeldama will be hosting a Steampunk Ball at his town house in London. In addition to dancing and dining, guests will be free to float on his airship, the Dandelion Fluff Upon A Spoon (or, as she's more commonly called, Buffety) and tour his small museum of scientific inventions. The hitch? Lord Akeldama is a very proper gentleman, and as such, he insists proper protocols be followed. This includes, of course, protocols of dress. Guests may come in Victorian wear or Steampunk costume, but unless they are appropriately clothed, they will not be allowed entry to the ball.

Nothing to wear? No community magic needed! Lord Akeldama has, at his disposal, a small army of stylish young men who would like nothing more than to make over his guests. Lord Akeldama and his unlimited funds will provide appropriate garb for anyone who would like to attend, but doesn't otherwise have the means. Additionally, if anyone would like a more, erm, forcible makeover, that can be arranged as well. His drones are very enthusiastic.

I'll be making an IC post in the next few days to invite and recruit worldhoppers -- anyone with worldhops, your help would be greatly appreciated -- but otherwise, just save the date. IT'S A PARTY A PARTY!

Stay awesome, ducks!

ETA: Something I forgot to mention: Lord A is a gossipmonger. Some might call him a connoisseur. He and his drones have one ear in every conversation so that they know all the juicy details, so it's fair to say that if you come to his house for the bar, everything you say will make its way back to him one way or another. What will Lord A do with this information? Absolutely nothing -- he just likes to know it. But if there's something you don't want to be IC knowledge for the good vampire, please drop me a line so that I can have him not notice it.

Hey, DDD.

After thinking about it long and hard, I've realized I need to make some tough decisions.

( We all know where this post is going. )

Hello, ducklings!

Jenry here with char number 9.2 - please welcome Lord Akeldama from the Parasol Protectorate. He's camp gay, very flamboyant, and he knows ALL YOUR SECRETS. Would you like some tea?

Hi DDDUcklings!

I'm just here to remind you that this will be the last ever non-virus post from cmdr_scruffy. All future James CR will come from chapter_behind. Please make sure both are on your FLs!



And now for something completely different: I will be on vacation from Friday through Tuesday with my family, so tags will be sporadic! Happy Everything, guys!

HEY GUYS. REMEMBER ME?

Okay, no, not really. Because it's still Jen. And while I still play James Norrington, I used to play him on another journal. A more hygienic journal. It has much less stubble. In about a week, James will be cleaning up his act (lol see, that was a pun) and moving back to here.

So if you're don't already have chapter_behind added, or if you deleted it, please friend now. Hover, click, friend add chapter_behind why should I care?

As for cmdr_scruffy, you haven't heard the last of him! -- Or maybe you have, anyway, I'm not sure, just keep that journal around for viruses and all.



Stay classy, DDDarlings.

IN BEFORE THE NANO POSTS~

Hey everyone. Jenry here, declaring a slowatus for the month of November and everyone knows why. I never manage to go on actual hiatus, so just be aware that while they'll be around, my characters will be returning tags slowly and/or selectively as I attempt to write way too many words in way too little time.

As always, this affects:
urbandev
yacantdoitkid
ironysoul
hastypingtodo
brbgonefishin
of_action
snakeinmahboot
cmdr_scruffy

I will be available on Plurk and AIM if you need me for plottingz -- godmodding as necessary is in the hands of their canon mates and closest CR, you guys know who you are. Just check with me OOC first.

I'd say "see you all in december," but who am I kidding? XD

Anonysanta! Please come here and let me smother you in love for the userpics!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! What can I do for you?

I hate to do this, but anyone who's been following my plurk knows I've been having some pretty serious health problems recently. On the bright side, while this means a lot of time off work to tag, it also means very low motivation and energy. I'm officially declaring a semi-hiatus for now, possibly upgrading to a full hiatus depending on how the first (and subsequent) surgeries go.

Thanks guys!

As always, this effects urbandev

Hey guys!

Jen here, following Ca with an announcement. I've decided to canon reset Jecht, since he was so close to the end and now he has a bb boy to harass again. He won't remember his previous CR but some vague emotions/memories may surface down the line. But he won't be quiet or graceful about his return, so I'm sure he'll make all his *~*wonderful friends~*~ again.

Peace, duckies.

HEY DUCKS.

This is just a heads up that in about a week, there will be a hurricane off Tripoli, which will mark a major turning point for James in his canon. For ease of icons and the like, I will be moving his activity over from chapter_behind to cmdr_scruffy. Don't delete this journal, though! He'll be coming back to it after the second movie is wrapped up.



please friend add cmdr_scruffy.

Stay awesome, guys!

Hey guys!

It's been a whole lot of fun, but I think Omi's run out his time here at DDD. His activity just never got where it needed to be, and it's not fair of me to sit on him any longer.

Thanks to everyone he had CR with! It was a great run.

friend remove graceful_bombay

Hiiiiii, ducks!

It's been about a month, so I just wanted to remind you that Al has an open log in his journal for anyone who wants to visit him. In about three weeks, he'll be suffering a serious relapse, but until then his activity will be high(er) and he'll be responding to some network posts.

ETA: Naoto will provide worldhops for anyone who needs them!

Stay awesome~

Hello, DramaDramaDuck. Who saw this coming?

friend add chapter_behind if you would be so kind.

Hey ducks. SOMEBODY'S POISONED THE WATER HOLE.

friend add snakeinmahboot!
