  • Well I’m trying to get back to writing. Real life stuff has gotten in the way. On a fun note I finally have everything I need for both detective and thief carmen cosplay…what I’ll do with them is anyone’s guess. Maybe tiktok? My two gen z sisters might die of embarrassment tho. Working on Ivy cosplay next:)
    Been absent due to personal drama and the holidays but I hope everyone had an amazing new year and is safe and well! I’m battling CV for the 2nd time…I’ll be back as soon as I can!
    I keep writing chapters but none of them are in order…procrastinating on the decisions I need to make for where the story currently is.
    That moment when you realize Carmen is a boomer…

    I’ll look it up. I think it’s on her criminal dossier on the screen but then again I might be wrong, I’ve had that number in my head for like 15 years now.

    also I feel so dumb, Anyone in retribution who isn’t main cast is just a list of names, like even Tim Curry isn’t credited as Maelstrom specifically. But Rita’s daughter is on that list so I’m willing to bet she was young Carmen

    They never actually say how old she is. The closest was in Can You Ever Go Home Again, where they say that Avalon's daughter died almost 30 years ago, which could make her some where between 27-31, depending on how you define almost 30.
    Sorry Claire, I figure you already knew who MISS USA is and believe me it's not your sister.

    Well at least I saw her face, but it wasn't enough to get her to the next round...Hey, it's not my fault the judges may the decision anyway, so I hope your sister didn't getting upset at all pageants are like sports, even if someone wins and others lose, they should be happy to participate and being a good sport, of course.

    She's competitive so naturally she was a little disappointed but she's happy with her experience overall. At the end of the day she's still a state title holder, but I don't want to speak for her. All those women are so talented, I don't really agree with who the judges picked for top 8 but I think Elle was a great winner. And interview is 1/3 of the score and that's not public anyway.

    I met and talked to a bunch of them at the after party, honestly it must be such a hard decision they are all gorgeous in person and so nice! HI and NM were incredible to talk to and Kataluna from NV had a lot of security but she was an absolute icon.
    Rooting for Miss Arkansas, while maintaining my brand as the “alt hot” one with zero muscle tone who would rather die than get a spray tan. But I bought a tuxedo to wear!

    We couldn’t be more different but I’m so very proud of her🖤
    … I see what you did there Tenchi!:D I’m guessing Illinois! I hope you have fun with your family!

    IL is actually in the same group as my sister...idk what that means but they're all Vanbros girls? I guess like small groups of states get managers. But no, while I do inhabit Chicago my sister represents where she went to college, not anywhere I've lived. And none of my family lives near me. I got out asap.
    I’m guessing California lol! We hope she wins and your writers block crumbles under the collective pounds of food eaten this thanksgiving! Happy holidays to you and your family!

    Lol no, the hardest states to win are CA, TX, and NY from my understanding. Not that she couldn't do it, but she grew up in one of those states and chose to compete in another (where she went to college) partially for that reason.

    ((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. 🙂
