[I don’t know the current SJW definition of the word “problematic” so I’m going with what the dictionary explains, which is smtg “constituting or presenting a problem or difficulty.”]
So AR had commented thusly on her FB, 2014 (might be a different year):
It’s true that she used to attack fanfic authors, there was a war on fanfic in the ‘90s…
…but currently she seems to ignore it. Huzzah, right? I think so!
I can’t recall her having an issue with RPers. Not sure why, but maybe she doesn’t see RP as being fanfiction in that it’s a series of responses. There are fics and published works that write from different characters’ POV (Queen of the Damned did that, for example) but seem to devote whole chapters to each POV.
We had a situation recently in which a VC RPer was sent what we now consider to have been Anon-hate that was written to look like a real Cease & Desist letter (which is what we get when AR wants our grubby hands off her precious bbs). We believe it was a particularly cruel way to send Anon-hate.
So I think you’re clear, no problems. Go RP!
However, your friend may have other reservations about RPing, too. There are a lot of things to consider, among which:
Are you over 18?
Are you willing to RP with people under 18?
Are you willing to RP smut and R-rated scenes?
Are you willing to RP with OC’s and other fandoms?
Are you willing to RP AU?
Is your muse a canon or original
character?
Is your muse multi-ship (can have more than one relationship at a time in different threads)?
Does anyone follow AR on FB who knows if she’s mentioned anyone she might like? I don’t always agree with her reccs on this topic, tho. She wanted Matthew Bomer for Louis and I just can’t agree. Yes, he looks great in a suit, and he’s cute and all, but he’s too manly, he has a kind of ballsy confidence that’s overshooting Louis.
i-want-my-iwtv So, back in 2010 she named Simon Woods for Armand (and Matthew MacFadyen for Marius, along with Richard Armitage for Lestat and Matt Bomer for Louis, god help us).
Here’s Simon Woods and Matthew MacFadyen (yes, yes, we are talking Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy lol)…
ooc; An update on the state of things from Anne’s Facebook. I’m excited to hear that Universal seems to actually be moving forward.
oh yeah? A script for the first movie is being wrITTEN NOW? WELL I WILL BELIEVES IT WHEN I SEES THE FRICKIN’ IRIDESCENT BLUE-GRAY-VIOLET EYES STARING OUT AT ME FROM THE TRAILER OF THIS ALLEGED FILM.
“This is my birthday present from Louis. Use as I like, he tells me…
I do not understand entirely what is meant by birthday. Was I born into this world on the 21st of September or was it on that day that I departed all things human to become this?
My gentlemen parents are forever reluctant to illuminate such simple matters. One would think it bad taste to dwell on such subjects. Louis looks puzzled, then miserable, before he returns to the evening paper. And Lestat, he smiles and plays a little Mozart for me, then answers with a shrug: ‘It was the day you were born to us.’ ”
– Claudia de Lioncourt, Queen of the Damned
Is this her birthday? Or the night she was turned? They don’t answer her. I think it was the night she was turned, “you were born to US”
According to this, September 21 is Michele Rice’s birthday, 1966. Michele died of
