I guess we're doing it tonight, then! I suggest we decide then which set of episodes we're doing, based on who is and isn't here. (I have a feeling a lot of people won't show since I forgot about it till the eleventh hour, so it might be a good time to get caught up on those first season eps.)

Last week we got up through Trick or Treat, so our lineup for this week (same timeslot of Friday, 8 p.m. EDT unless there are objections) consists of:
  • Retribution, Pts. 1-3
  • Timing Is Everything
  • Cupid Sandiego
  • Can You Ever Go Home Again? Pts. 1&2
Then next week we can do the Netflix series. Since CyTube doesn't support any platform but YouTube, I will be looking for an alternative stream synchronizer type site, but we can always fall back on trying to click play at the same time.

So for next week with the Netflix show, we have two options:

Option 1: rabb.it
I can stream the episodes over rabb.it, but the site requires you to log in to watch. I have created a login everyone could use, so you wouldn't have to make an account, but would have to log in.
PRO: Synchronized stream.
CON: The annoying and possibly confusing extra step of logging in.

Option 2: nothing
We can all play the episodes ourselves.
PRO: No extra steps required.
CONS: We won't be perfectly synchronized, and it will be especially difficult to synchronize those of us with Netflix (thus skipping the intro and credits) with those of us using... other sources. And if someone doesn't have Netflix, they'll have to resort to those other sources.

Opinions?

I prefer option 1, because knowing we are watching it at exactly the same time is part of the fun. If it doesn't work, we can always fall back on 2.

Well, I have to say, I'm an,"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" type of girl.

I haven't tried logging into the actual movie chat on here yet, partly cuz I'm always a little late, partly cuz I'm not sure if it will work, and partly cuz I know I won't be able to watch, and keep up with the chat, anyway.

But, I've always been able to watch the videos with no problem. :)

    ((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. 🙂
