This is a perpetual game, to be played in-character or out. (Thanks @Chase and @Patty for the idea).

We all have a set list of songs for when we are in a particular mood or doing a certain activity. What are some of yours? Leave a list, or link to the songs if you wish!

After you answer, leave a question (starting with 'Which song...') for the next person to answer. It's alright if questions repeat!

I'll start: When I need to concentrate, some of my go-to songs are Let's Get Dirty by Redman, Rollin' by Limp Bizkit, and Icky Thump by the White Stripes (please note that these songs are explicit so listeners beware)

What songs do you listen to while working out?

Symph rock! And or other forms of rock or folk. I can't pick a song. My favorites are all too catchy.
(me, ooc: what is this workout you speak of? But still rock, folk, rock-folk hybrids. Yodeling cowboys. I'll prob make a few playlists)
Okay, Ivory Vsauce here, what is your opinion on this:
Knife Wielding Tentacle

Very cool!

(V - do you want to ask a question in a similar vein to mine to keep the game going?)

Hmmm... for Lucy's question...
I could go about that a couple ways... stuff that came out during my childhood years (born '82 IRL), or just stuff I listened to when I was a kid (going from '82 to '89). So...

Came out during
'82
Joan Jett & The Blackhearts - I Love Rock N' Roll
Journey - Open Arms
Stevie Nicks & Don Henley - Leather & Lace
Asia - Heat Of The Moment
A Flock Of Seagulls - I Ran (So Far Away)
Stevie Nicks - Edge Of Seventeen
(I'd have to dig through the music collection to find more)

Listened to at all that came out during '82-'89
(Years might be wrong, I'm pulling songs from the Billboard charts... I remember all the songs, couldn't remember the years right off hand)
'82
Joan Jett & The Blackhearts - I Love Rock N' Roll
Journey - Open Arms (have the song on the soundtrack to 'Heavy Metal')
Stevie Nicks & Don Henley - Leather & Lace

'83

Yes - Owner Of A Lonely Heart
Steve Perry - Oh Sherrie
Pat Benatar - Love Is A Battlefield

'85
Foreigner - I Want To Know What Love Is

a-Ha - Take On Me
Starship - We Built This City
Bruce Springsteen - Glory Days
'86
Jackson Browne - For America (actually, the whole 'Lives In The Balance' album is good)
Starship - Sara
Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer
Boston - Amanda (have the album on vinyl)
The Dream Academy - Life In A Northern Town (have the 45RPM single, still in it's sleeve)
John Cougar Mellencamp - Small Town (actually, the whole record is good, have it on vinyl)

The Moody Blues - Wildest Dreams
Eddie Money - Take Me Home Tonight
The Outfield - Your Love

'89
Poison - Every Rose Has Its Thorn
Roxette - Listen To Your Heart
Martika - Toy Soldiers
Skid Row - 18 And Life
The B-52's - Love Shack

This isn't a complete list... I'd be here for months listing everything. Did you want those as Youtube links for videos?


Okay... my question: What song or songs (or albums... however it works for you) do you tend to have playing (in the background, in headphones, what have you) when you're writing? And, if you want, I can take a stab at this one.

    ((OOC: So, I am still here (at least, while ACP is still a thing, then I have to tether my phone to my laptop, send it's internet to Ethernet to my router and setup my other laptop to access that... I managed it once totally by accident)... updating stuff I'm working on is not a fun process (if anyone checks my stories folder on my Google Drive) anymore... the laptop at my desk is old (Core 2 Duo, 2Ghz, 4 gigs RAM, Win7 Ultimate)... Chrome won't update, Drive won't work... I'm stuck using FreeFileSync to keep stuff up to datep things synced. I have plans of getting a job and having money to have something better (a doorstop is better)

    [continuing] I'm sorry if any of my posts are/could be inflammatory or anything... some of them are stuff I've had in the pipeline for a while, and I messed with it enough to get it postable... that's why there are dates showing when I started working on stuff... I'm not, and never have been, trying to step on anyone's toes or say "this is how it should be"... I have no say here, not sure who does these days (like I posted... maybe this is a test to see if we devolve into chaos). Posts like Hierarchy were started long ago, and meant as a guideline and not because I'm the voice of Sauron.

    [continuing] I don't have the time to be here a whole lot, I don't have much beyond mom to help with my rent (and once I have a job, that'll take up more time, though I will keep working on stuff (both for here and not) as often as possible, and post when possible on here. I have a question that needs some clarification... being that we are supposed to get permission from the person if we use their character in an addition/story/post, how would that apply if the character is core to the universe (like Carmen... I can replace @Chase, maybe cobble someone into @Ivy's place... but, like @Carmen, being that she's a major character, as long as I don't have her acting or write a major part for her, would that circumvent the rule at all?

    [continuing] I'm just curious... the absence of the major's leaves a gap that I'm not sure what to do with anything... we (the Left Behind) could do a story together (or some stories separate), and that'd be cool, but without being able to use any major's, I'm not sure where to take anything. And, yeah... you can probably guess what my typing is like here (or anyplace else)... I type here or in Word, I type something (or notepad), and 15-20+ seconds later it shows up, so I have to stay on top of my grammar and spelling. I have to keep on top of all that, because I'm working on the big Carmen story at the same time, so I can't slip off my game.))

    @Jon Eckart Not exactly sure if I understand all your computer probs. I hope you get those resolved soon. Yes, I have many probs with my basic Google Chrome, too. I think it's fair to say we all have a love/hate relationship with technology. 😆 As far as your stories are concerned, you can use any cannon character you like, whether there is a person playing that role on here or not. Say the story is a fanfiction; and that the version of Chase, or Carmen (or whoever) from the computer games, gameshow (or whatever). We don't do Netflix Carmen, mostly because of the violence. And because it is fanfiction, you can also create other characters and situations to suit your story. Now, Chase, Carme, Ivy (or whoever) were here, of course, you would ask their permission; tell them your idea; and if they like it they might write it with you. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you for a friendship with someone on--and off-site, you might form a partnership with them, and write stories together (like Chase and Carmen; or Chase and Ivy; or Lucy and I) and then you will just put a statement saying that this story is a co-write with whoever. In fact, if you collaborate with this person a lot, people will just assume they have your permission; although you should always say it anyway, just as a common courtesy. In fact, ironically, the only people whose permission you must always ask to use their characters are "original" characters, who are creations of their individual writers (which most of us on here, are) specifically because we are not cannon. I hope that makes sense. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you want to write something, but don't have a lot of time, I would suggest posting a status; or replying to someone else's status. Or you could start a guessing game. Look under Forums/Guessing Games, and look at some things other people have done, to give you ideas. I hope that helps. 🙂
