If anything we have written so far in our stories, or in our OOC topics have left you confused or feeling lost, please tell us here.

Okay, might as well be the first.

Hey gang, figured this would be the easiest way to let everyone know I had to pull down the other MB and Galleries. Technical issues with the way MySQL runs with Aplus.net.

All works (Writing and images) have been archived and are available if anyone wishes a copy.

The reason for the conflict' I'm setting up a guildsite for a WoW guild on Azjol-Nerub and did not know that when you assign a password to the new DB, the PW on the old one changes....:roll: :oops:

Just so you know, Black Spartan and I have lost internet Access.

We are hoping to be back really soon. Lucius and Fiona still have my cell phone number in case you guys want to get in touch.

I'll probably hit the library on Friday again just to touch base.

Love,

Mere and Don (BlackSpartan)

I can't believe I found it. I found it!

Heh....pardon my excitement. I haven't seen tail whispers of BHO since '98? or so. Played some with Suhvon (or Sahvon), can't remember, in the RDI.

Hey all,

May not be on as much for the next week or so. My computer that survived Katrina, seems to have either a power supply problem or worse...A cooling system problem. It's in in the shop and hopefully soon will get it back, until then can't make any promises to when or if I will be around. :(

Using a laptop but as it belongs to one we are currently staying with, I can't hog it.

Huggles to all, Hope to be back soon.

Hey All,

Just a bit of info about the Veighn/Bel log...

I have edited the chat logs, removing most of the extraneous chat to save time and space....

It happened in the RDI but we were getting bumped a lot that night, so we took the play to a PR. Original logs are available.

If any of the participants wish to have their stuff edited? Just give me a holler!

::hugs.:: Lanette

PS: Sorry for the slam of posts....Have to get the log up so others can post what?s happened since...

Mr. Howe

Date: 2007-05-26 22:58 EST
Just a quick update about the kidnapping of Tass.

Working on the log now. Its pretty big and is taking longer than I anticipated but we will have it up soon.

All those who were involved are invited to post to the thread.

Thanks for the awesome play! And check our Words of Praise! We will be thanking all of you personally there!

Howe's player

PS: Howe needs a new body or some serious regen, any ideas anyone?

Arden Cale

Date: 2007-05-28 04:39 EST
Maybe Howe can work a deal with Irrykin and Arden will deliver him a bunch of body parts.

I did back in the day RP with Go, Syl, Jesarra, Cherry and Tree. I was the perpetual badguy though...sooo not sure how good of a recommendation it is. I played: Quin, Lord Gentry, Nate Galain and Guy Decherir.

None the less, my thanks for the praise and I hope we can all interact at some memorable occasion.

((A situation has come up that needs to be addressed.

We in DCH are trying hard to play respectfully with everyone. If we have failed, and there are those who feel they are being moded by us, you should let us know.

Otherwise, we *beg* all of you to play *WITH* us and not *AT* us.

We the players of DCH have a right to our stories just as much as anyone else, and we would appreciate it if all of you respect this. We have not gone out of our way to destroy anyone's stories. Everything we've done IC we were invited to do.

Destroying our sl's is not the kind of payback we anticipated. If you don't wish to play with us, then feel free to ignore us. Otherwise, please keep in mind that we have the same rights as the rest of you.

We have not destroyed anyone's storylines with our interactions, nor have we attempted to undermine others in their attempts to tell their stories. We would ask that the same be offered to us in return.

Our storylines should be respected and given the same regard as anyone else's.

We have taken what has been thrown at us in stride, up until now. We have found creative ways to write ourselves out of DESTRUCTIVE situations. It is now going beyond this.

We don't want to be stomped on here. We feel we've been nothing but respectful. We feel it is within our rights to request that we be treated the same.

Thank you, The Players of DCH))

The friends....Fab! And the places....Although the nasty "K" did tremendous damage all around, rebuilding is in full swing! The Quarter hasn't changed....well, except for the names on some of the shops....It is as lovely as ever!

If any of you get the chance....you really should visit the Big Easy and see for yourselves. The charm is still there and so are the parties!!!

Anyways....Let the stories commence! Much evil plotting has occurred right before and during my "vacation", so let's get the ball rolling friends! Much excitement is ahead for all!!!! We've a grab bag of goodies to stir the proverbial rp pot....Just keep on reading! ::winks.::

Hullo.

Firstly, I wanna send my apologies to the boys at DCH — real-life stuff had croped up and I had to try and think fast regarding the trial SL of my little blue critter. As it was, things halfway fell apart though the RL stuff got resolved thankfully. The trial's still planned and I'm in some need of a prosecutor.

I have a judge, defense attorney and some jurors and one bailiff. Yeh, my shrink/s went MIA too, though again, life happens.

I myself have very little know-how regarding courts and such, so I'm wondering if anyone here might be interested in doing a prosecutor.

The only things I ask are these two things: I'd like this trial to be as honest and straightforward as possible. No nasty tricks but no letting the defendant off unreasonably easy either. (yes, I'm saying this about my own char. He's the one going on trial). I just want a legitimate proceeding. And two: As mentioned, I know very little about legalities, court-related junk and all that. I'm still researching but if any of you have more know-how than I, please do correct me if I muff something up.

Again, both my apologies to you at DCH and many kudos to things I've read here so far. Awesome work.

Peace.

Shout out to Brutin player too for returning to the fold, (so to speak...)

For a brief time we had Welv and Jona players too....wonder if they will wander back" We can only hope....and keep them alive in our storytelling.

Wow. I've never really done any interacting with any of the Bloods outside of.....Sid's bartending, I suppose, but I feel like I have to say that all of you involved in the Sid/Melantha/Peca SL did a truly fantastic job. I mean, I literally had to stop playing some nights just because I was so into reading what was happening or being discussed between the characters!

You guys *really* know how to weave stories, and I seriously hope I get a chance to cross paths with the Bloods at some point on the road!

I just wanted to let you all know that!

Melantha

Thanks, Skid.

It's been a ton of fun and that was just the start for a whole lot of stories.

I often do the same thing as you. Get caught reading the other people in the room and simply forget to send anything myself.

You're included in that. I love watching Skid. Never know what he's going to do next.

Always room for playing with us. ::points Skid out to the Evil Plotters.::

Note, this is not a request for actual pics, just an OOC request for an IC acknowledgment of giving him pics if your character has them.

Thanks!

Hey, everyone. I thought I did post it here in this thread, but I think I hit the New Topic button by mistake, very sorry about that. About the pic requests, it is something more of an IC vapoered request Tru makes IC, since I don't have enough time to find and approach every BHO member, it was more of the idea that Tru goes to every BHO and friend of BHO he can find or think of and asks them if they can give him some pics, IC, and if your character agrees and has some, it is assumed they give them to him. I wont need any actual pics, OOC. Although, I guess that would be cool too. :) Again, sorry for the misunderstanding about hitting the wrong button accidently.

Kitty Helston

Date: 2009-06-06 02:41 EST
Ok, I really don't know how to put this, so it's just going to be blunt.

Kitty is leaving the Bloods.

My play time is very VERY limited. I have kids, the youngest turning a year old in just a couple weeks. I also have a job, a husband I barely see as it is, and assorted other things going on in my life that keeps me busy most of the time. So when I do get to play, I want it to be fun. I want to enjoy what little time I have here. Anything that involves drama....seriously takes away from that fun.

For the record, this is not about True, player or character wise. It was just the final straw.

I want to be able to come online, play for a few hours, and leave. When a Blood storyline gets going, I feel obligated to stay. I can't be obligated. I simply can't.

Kitty will still be friends to everyone, and look upon them as family in a way. Luse will always be like a brother to her, for example. But I am going to have her leave the family with the intentions of concentrating on her own family with Tass.

I'll see you all around....hopefully.

Due to the actions of the players of Alain DeMeur, Veighn Yhaull and LdyBelial I can no longer be a part of this group and the actions that they are condoning. This is not the same Bloods I joined in 1996, and I want no part of this current incarnation.

Hey all! We're back....well" Kinda sorta. Its only a small handful of us now, but still....We've got some great stories to tell!

As for the stories....If a story is part of the DCH thread we're asking that it be posted with the following format for the title: DCH - .

If it is part of the Mab story.... Mab - .

If it isn't part of either, then no worries, if it is part of both.... DCH/Mab -

Why all this muss and fuss over the titles" Because currently we have three different sls going: The Bloods, DCH and Mab. We're getting ready to add two more sls to the mix which means....If folks wanna keep up with whats going on, we need to simplify things as best we can.

We're back and we're gearing up our stories for one heck of a ride! If you wanna jump in, contact me, and we'll get things rolling!

Otherwise....Merry gaming to you! We hope you enjoy our offerings! Lanette LdyBelial player....(and many others...)

So, just dropping a quick note, because I like redundancies.

For Howe, Renna, and anyone else that enjoys reading about Ed/the Ranger...

I give you the Vindicator.

Mr. Howe

Go to the above link, Ed Player did a really awesome job with the Vindicator!!!

I am still gaping in awe!!!

Had a setback there for a bit, RL got hectic, no, hellish, but all is good now....(for the most part....or at least all I can do about it anyway....stupid Google!) But I am back to a schedule that allows me to post and play again! Yay!!!

Been working on Evil Plotters Ink - Not only is it a FFRP Archive of old AOL information, but we have also decided to make it Evil Plotters Central. We will release all kinds of information there about current and upcoming storylines. Check it out!

If you have anything you want us to include....use the contact us form and let me know, k"

Gonna be heating up Howe's sl, (partially open storyline) and introducing COPE, (open storyline) in the upcoming weeks. Interested" Lemme know!!!

::mad evil cackles.:: In the meantime....know we are busy plotting....Some twisty turns are ahead, who will come out on top" Who will be beaten and broken? This is FFRP....Not even we can answer that one....yet. Heh.

Momentary access allows me to throw up a quick post. I'm not gone, but my cable access is spotty due to....Nevermind it's just the cable company's most recent excuses anyway....Thing is my internet access is doing what it seems to do best these days; work sporadically.

While I have the access!

I'm not dead! Yes, I am coming back, I haven't actually left really or rather it's not by choice. Apologies to Briarius' Player, I will get up a response as soon as I can! Dru, I still am planning on having Bel bring Briarius to Issy....Sorry for the delay!

Yay for the West Memphis Three!! It's about time!!!!

Check out my latest article "Playing the Villain - Revamp" on Evilplottersink.com!!!

Anyone looking to talk to me....drop me a line I will get back to you asap! But please be patient, my internet access, much like my cable TV, pretty much sucks right now....(And yeah, we are looking for alternatives....not as easy as you'd think....location, location, location! It really does matter apparently...)

So much to do and so little access! a very grumpy Lanette

Hey Lan, just wanted to let you know I moved to Staten Island from Brooklyn and my stuff is everywhere and I haven't been around to play anything "live" since like, July.

Due to recent developments in my life I have been off-site for quite awhile. I, unfortunately, do not foresee a return any time in the near future what with a wedding (mine) to help plan as well as finding the time to get internet access and a new laptop so that I can join in on the fun again. Here is to hoping the anticipated long hiatus isn't too long.

I'll be on occasionally - when my hectic life permits - to check up on what I've missed as much as I can.

Thanks for the past play, everone, and good gaming too you.

NorseLady

Date: 2011-10-04 02:38 EST
I was wondering why I haven't seen you and your character around for a while. I rather miss the tension between Veighn and Shy with their verbal battles.

Congratulations to you and your fiance'! So when is the big day?

Take care, Veighn player, and we'll see you whenever you return. :)

Thank you, thank you, thank you to all my well wishers!! I truly am working on getting better....However, it seems one step forward ends up two steps back! Drats! Still....the prayers and healing energies are appreciated!!!

It was nice of Jer to stop in....And Shy's player too!!!

Awesome post by Glan's player....You make me so proud babe!!!

Me, J and L are working on stuffs behind the scenes, (yes, yes, that means more stories coming soon, we promise!!! Never give up the faith....as our stories are screaming (literally inside our heads) to be told!)

Blessing to all of my family, as we've recently suffered a tragic loss. Kenny you are loved and will never be forgotten! We will carry you with us always! To the rest....Thanks for reading us! It is appreciated....if a bit odd....

Being unable to spend much time at the keys....I have fallen waaaaay behind on storylines....Please....if any are willing I would very much appreciate an update....a synopsis if you will....or even relevant linkage?" That would totally rock!

Teasers and tantalizations: Howe's fate hangs in a precarious balance....will the partners protect him or will he be thrown to the wolves" What is Mister Dewey up to anyway....hanging out in dangerous places looking for things best left unspoken" Who is the lovely Ms. Wynn and whose side is she on exactly"

Aunty M has some nasty twists and turns ahead for our intrepid heroes and villains....Will her vile machinations bear fruit' There is more to her story than meets the eye...

Mab has a pocket full of surprises....unfortunately....none of them pleasant. What new mischief is the Queen of the Winter Sun up to now"

COPE has lost their one tether to Rhy'Din's bounty....They won't just pack up and go home.

As the Holy Triumvirate fractures will all hope be lost for the Bloods??"

Stay tuned kiddies....more fun and intrigue ahead!!!

So what might we be planning for this New Year?""

I figured I would offer a glance at what?s coming up in 2012 for our heroes and villains:

Anyone recall Ardeen Willa" The poor old lady who lost her husband" Well....No worries! She's found him and they are together! Maybe not in the same condition as they were in before....but heck, they were just "Red Shirts" anyway....::evil....if a bit nerdy....grin.::

DCH is going to have a bit of a name change with the addition of a new partner. Mister Howe on the other hand has gotten himself into quite a pickle. Too bad for him....as he faces a whole other kind of change....Some of you might even feel kinda sorry for him....Kinda....Maybe....Or Not"

The Bloods are going to war. There's simply no way 'round it....Mab won't stop until she's destroyed everything she hates.

We will be welcoming back characters....we will be putting some to rest....and that's just for the Bloods Sls....wait til you see what we've cooked up for other Storylines we participate in....Heh.

Join in....or don't....But Always Enjoy your Gaming!!!

Happy New Year everyone!!! Lanette

Kain player, please, please, please forgive me!!!

All the players from tonight's impromptu meeting in Fio's office....I will post an image of the Pin Bel gave out as soon as I can! If you want an inventory Icon leave me a message here and let me know!

Ok....If anyone cares to know why I am currently not here on DM you can read all about it here:

In FFRP Respect isn't really INTERPRETATIVE

So....Why didn't I post this on the OOC boards on the OOC side of this site? Because let's face it, those boards are dead and with good reason. (If you've been here for the long haul you know what I am talking about.)

If you have comments, questions or want to rant back at me — feel free to post them on my site, to me on FB, or ask here ...but if you choose to post here you do so at your own risk — break site rules and we have no choice but to pull the comments — sorry but rules are rules after all.

Just be warned....I am not in the mood for tap dancing around the issues any longer. I am flat out tired of it all. So....attack at your own risk....but just know that I am going to call a spade a spade.

Am I quitting DM' No. I am taking a leave of absence until my temper calms down and I am ready to deal with the BS again. That time is NOT now.

I may not be able to make everyone here grow up and act like responsible, respectful, mature adults — but I can throw my own little snit fit about it. Lan

Sid

Date: 2012-02-17 00:32 EST
Great article, Lanette! And yes, tap dancing around the issue is over! I, too, am tired of it all.

These are words to live by people, not just FFRP by. Communication is key in everything and Respect is a two way street! Expecting to get respect when one does not give it in return is just bullying and self-entitlement. It cannot be said any plainer.

'Nuff said! Julie...

Read your article, and while too knew to be all "that" fed up, I have seen it happen. All I can say is, If anyone sees me doing those things. Communicate. Tell me either IM or PM, or even email. You may have to be explicit about what I am doing that you see as a problem, not because of ego, just the fact that I can be rather dense at time.

I'm on my second read through. I miss things in my old age. ;)

Your article is excellent food for thought. I find it disheartening that you, a player who has always supported open communication with their fellow players, has been pushed to the proverbial wall.

As Tasha said, you were far more polite than I would have been. In fact, my other thoughts on it are probably not allowed to be posted here under DM's guidelines.

Lan, all I have to say is, well written. Better than I could have done. And second, I have to give you a very large 'Thank You.'

Thanks to your blog I've managed to finally take care of something that has been weighing on me for two years. And it has been very therapeutic. Thank you again.

And I leave you with a quote. It's from Winston Churchill. I don't know if this is the verbatim recounting, but it is close enough.

"You have enemies? Good. That means you stood up for something."

Thank you everyone for your support — Alas there has been fallout — Of course, it was an OOC post! If you want to read more about it you can do so here:

FFRP Fallout - So you think it is All about You? It IS!!!

I want to stress that I will not stop talking about the issues facing our community. I fought for years to empower the players and I refuse to bend now to the current trends we see manifesting. If this causes anyone angst, then maybe they should be looking at why and not waste their time screaming about me.

For those supporting me — we have to raise up our voices and teach by example — they are the only effective tools we have to influence the direction of our community.

Thanks! Lan

Just happened to be scanning the Forum and saw you had posted, which lead me to this thread. I think you know that Arts and Mag agree with everything you've said, but I still wanted to take a moment to thank you for putting in the time and effort to spell out frustrations that lots of us have felt over the years. And always remember that just two good players can make a room worthwhile, regardless of what?s going on around them!

I am amazed and touched by all the comments, the PMs, support and kindness I have received. There are no words that can express what it all means to me....

My latest blog post attempts to express some of how I feel! And I strive to clarify any misunderstandings as well. I look forward to hearing your PoV's too! I am enjoying the dialogues that have been opened!

FFRP Your Support is MIND BLOWING! Thank YOU!!!

And as lame as this may sound" You all totally ROCK! I can't tell you how much your words mean to me!! Thank you, all of you, for your support!!! We really are blessed with one of the BEST Community's EVER! And it's all because of all of you!!!!

If we want to avoid future panics about such laws as SOPA and PIPA we need to prepare ourselves now. No need to wait — we have the tools and the knowledge to protect ourselves, our writing and our IMAGES! But — we do need to comply with copyright rules.

Although....I confess that I have RP heavy on my mind! More — ah — Dramatics of an IC-nature are a coming! In the meantime —-

Enjoy my latest post in my soapbox! It's relevant! And hopefully it will prove to be helpful! Hmmm' In the future sense not so much for the present however....Can't fix hurt feelings or make badness disappear, unfortunately.

Then it dawned on me that others may not even KNOW it is out! So I am going to share this fantastic news with the rest of the crew!

"Welcome to Bordertown" by Holly Black and Ellen Kushner! This is a new series of stories set thirteen years later in the world, but for the citizen of Bordertown, it's only thirteen days later! (That is all I am giving up as spoilers!)

To everyone who attended the Governors Debate last night: You all rocked! I had a freaking blast! Therefore it should come as no surprise that I am already working on a Words of Praise Post.

Again — had an awesome time last night! But I want to give a special thanks to the candidates: Fio Helston, Kruger and Magenta — You were all very brave and I respect you tremendously! Great job last night all of you! I couldn't have done what any of you did. You are amazing, great players! Without you my playtime would be lessened.

SCOTTIE!!! And his PLAYER!!! ::pounce hugs the stuffin' outta them both as Bel and Lan!:: Sid and Bel were just in the SEB last Wednesday and they were chatting about him and the twins!!! WE MISS YOU!!!! Come out and play with us!!!

Yes, new B-Town Book....and we've got some awesome storylines ahead too! They would be so much better with you in them though <— hint, hint, hint! And I know Sid Player (Julie) would love, love, love to see and play with you too!!!

::Gloms on to the Scottie player!!:: Love you!! Miss you!! Yes, Sid and Bel were speaking on Scottie in the SEB. As you can guess I haven't been about much. Life, you know. However, I am making an effort to get back into the creative swing. Lan and I have been doing it in small doses, trying to make a semi-schedule of RP a little bit every week so as not to overwhelm. We have so much magic to revel in, stories to live and breathe. And, of course in Sid's life and in my magic-making life, that includes you and Scottie. I miss our magic.

::Mischievous snickers.:: Apparently, Scottie has some politico/ceremonial thing in the north of his kingdom' Things have been all quiet on the western front, so to speak, so Sid is planning to bring the bairns ("Brad and Angelina" are 10 now!) to Rhy'Din for a visit whilst Da is out of town. She's aired out the 'stone and gotten it ready while she was in the city to vote the other day. ::Grins.::

Just trying to entice, luvvie. I do miss you and our magic.

Yes, a new B-Town anthology. I haven't gotten my copy yet, but am eagerly anticipating the purchase.

Don't just pass by memory lane, come and take some brief walks along it for some magic time!

I am sooooo glad you like it honey! After doing the new image for Belial I felt a need to do an up close and personal one of Sun as those two are BFFs. I always worry but I tried to capture that gamine, wild child that is Sun. By the way, I LOVE you too!

As to the word "Squee" It is a word! I can prove it as Deviant Art has an icon for it and I use it!

Huggles & Love, Gen

I am still alive, though I doubt in the foreseeable future I'll be able to attend any gaming sessions. As it so happens, life has come in the way of my more creative indeavors; fillers being my new step son starting a metal band which is doing quite well in the music scene locally. A step-daughter re-doing her kitchen in her new home. Saving for things such as weddings and other events that are taking away from the "buy Jer a computer" fund. I can still be reached at VeighnYhaull@aol.com, however, seeing as how Apple does not support flash player I cannot access more than the message boards here on Dragonsmark using my iPad, and I'm not even going to attempt trying to RP via my HTC EVO.

If you're interested in touching base or have loose ends that need tying up regarding storylines, please feel free to give me a shout. Until next time, good gaming and see-you-when-I-see-you.

I like that word "squeeing". Just watching her make that pic was fascinating. Wish I had that ability to visualize characters and make them live in an image. Makes me want to see her in play again.

Sid

Yes, this last image and the image before it (titled so appropriately, "Um...") has really got me itching even more so to bring Sun back. And....She is on her way! Promise. Big things coming up for her.

Gen, thank you so very much for every amazing, fabulous, wonderful piece of art you have drawn for my literary children over the years. You have a unique way of capturing all I see in my head.

And I am right there with you, Maeri-player. I, too, wish I had half the talent Gen just has in her little finger so that I could get the images in my head out onto paper or pixels.

Hope everyone is doing well! ::Hugs and Smoochies!::

In the deep, dark midst's of moving my sites to a new server but....There is a hint of a light in the distance!

New, FASTER Space for old and new sites! Yay — there has been much rejoicing! Loads of cool things happening at Lan's Soapbox soon too as I will be opening up space to host new blogs!!!

Much evil plotting has been afoot — and once I am done with the mundane we will be splashing back into our stories intent on making HUGE waves! (Feel sorry for our characters yet' You will...) Much is ahead for our intrepid characters — and for some of our most reviled villains too!

So stayed tuned, Kittens!!! This is gonna be one bumpy ride! Lan

Hey All —-

There are a few things I need to talk about today.

If I post that I am currently swamped IRL that means I am not likely to be around here much.

Before opening a thread on my board demanding my IC attentions please talk to me first' My time and attention is currently limited. I want to have input on stories — I don't want to be tossed into them.

MOST IMPORTANT — We in the Bloods Group have spent YEARS (over ten of them) FFRPing. We have ensured that all our property has been heavily fortified and secure.

Please play to our IC" Because if you don't bother to respect our IC — Why should we bother to respect yours"

FFRP is a two way street. PLAY WITH ME — NOT AT ME! I coined this phrase in 1994 on the PaP on AOL. Nothing has changed since then — I still feel the same way today as I did when I said that in '94.

If you want to play with me or the with the Bloods — Then please be considerate of our IC — or expect to be ignored.

Thank you, Lan

At Looong Last!

We are back to writing! We'll have new posts up soon — so keep an eye out for them!

We should be able to polish off this part of the story arc and move into the next phase in short order. We're having fun, the stories are coming together nicely and we look forward to sharing them with you!

As for play time....Hmm' We've not worked that part out yet but hey, at least the stories are cooking....Better than the past few months of silence, lemme tell ya!

We also have some backstories we've been working on that lead up to the finale of "Raising the Dead" and give some information about what?s been happening outside of Rhy'Din. But....we haven't decided if we're going to share them here or not.

Want to see them' Let us know!

In the meantime — Keep a look out — The finale of "Raising the Dead" seriously impacts the landscape of the Bloods and their stories.

Big Changes Ahead....some of it good, some of it....not so much. Heh. Lan

Thanks Ebon Player!

And we've got more coming alright....And it's gonna be explosive!! Heh. As a spoiler queen I am rather tickled to know what?s gonna happen next....and next....and even after that! (Yes, we've been a busy a plotting!) We are hoping to close out several storylines in the next few months so we can start some new ones up....

Our next installment will be either Tuesday or Wednesday of next week....We are trying to do weeklies now — no promises but that's our goal.

I can offer a little spoilage and something to look forward to — Sun is coming back to Rhy'Din!!! She will be awesome to watch in action — We promise! Plus appearance by many of our past and current characters as well. Sometimes things come together in such awesome and amazing ways we, the writers, simply can't ignore the opportunities....so we aren't.

Please do keep reading! And, we dearly hope, Enjoying! Lan

Just wanted to drop in and say we're not dead — we are working on the next installment of "Raising the Dead" which should be done soon!

We've all been rather swamped with real life — ain't that always the case" However we haven't forgotten our stories. We're currently working on several storylines — some new, some not so much. So yes, there will be more adventures ahead for our intrepid heroes and heroines! We'll be tying up some loose ends and opening up new ones — just not as soon as we'd thought.

BIG developments are ahead. Major changes will be happening! So stay tuned kiddies for much more drama and excitement!

In the meantime....have questions" Something unclear, confusing or out of focus" Feel free to clue us in! Lan

Yes, we're still working on our stories....Not sure when we'll get them posted up though....IRL isn't being very kind and scheduling is proving difficult....Jeez, I hate it when life gets in the way of our fiction! ::winks.::

Truth is there are many reasons we aren't around — I'll spare the details. Suffice it to say, we miss our beloved characters — we haven't forsaken any of them — and when able we'll be back breathing life into them.

We really have been working on the stories, but unfortunately real life hasn't been kind enough to let us polish everything up in order to post it.

We are sending J's mom all our best to get better soonest! Same to a few others in our group that haven't been doing so well lately. ::zipzap:: This is me sending good energies to y'all to heal quickly!

Hey All,

We are busy doing some Spring Cleaning of our Forum Board. We've been busy dropping posts that are no longer relevant. Either missing links or information that is outdated and no longer useful.

So if you notice a few changes, don't panic! We're doing it on purpose.

Thanks, Lan

LdyBelial

Hello All,

I have seen recent logs mentioning my character Bel and suggesting her involvement in a particular storyline. Let me clarify that neither Bel, nor any of the characters in the Bloods, or myself are involved in said storyline at this time. We have had no conversation with the other players involved concerning this storyline.

I would like to remind that in FFRP my characters and storylines are mine, and mine alone. Hijacking, namedropping or otherwise intentionally creating issues, whether IC or OOC, involving either of them WITHOUT my permission is perceived by me as stepping on my toes. (Whew, that was one heck of a long arsed sentence! ::wiping brow.::) I consider it a form of Playing AT me rather than playing WITH me. Instead I would ask that you refer to How to Play WITH Us to learn how to PLAY WITH US, please"

I am a huge proponent of being open to play with everyone, I support an open community. But I insist on COMMUNICATION. If you want me involved on any level in your storylines, you need to talk to me first. If I am not included in on a plot, then I have no say in its direction or control how my character is being used, abused, etc. If I have no input then I consider myself NOT INVOLVED or responsible for any aspect of it. Pretty easy to understand really - if I am not involved it should be obvious that I am not responsible for any of it. I lay claim to what I do — I am proud of my evil plotting! But I will not be used by others in theirs without my permission, that's just downright rude!

Please do not consider me a part of ANY SL unless I publicly state I am involved. Which, in case anyone has missed it, I am very quick to do. I do not hide who I play and am more than happy to lay claim, proudly, to my play. I do not pretend that I am another player, I do not take credit for something I didn't do. I do not lie and lay claim to that which isn't mine either. I am very transparent in my FFRP. I have no reason to be otherwise. So please, don't take another person or groups word for it, ask me first. My reputation alone should stand testament. Please keep in mind that I have nothing to gain by lying.

Here's the down low, Bel is currently NOT in PLAY: If you need to know why read the current thread on our board, Raising the Dead. If anyone needs to speak to the Bloods for any reason, IC or OOC, they need to contact the players of Lucius DeAuster or Lusiphur Blood. They have agreed to be the public face for the group until Bel's situation has been resolved.

As always, Merry Gaming to You! Lan

We've been working hard to bring it all together and it feels wonderful knowing you are enjoying it!

We've been busy evil plotting! There will be some pretty shocking events coming up soon....so please do stay tuned! All of our Intrepid Heroes have some pretty daunting obstacles to overcome.

Keep in mind, even our villains think of themselves as heroes....so out of respect for them we try to keep that in mind. Heh. I write that like it's difficult for us to do....when really, it's not.

Doing my best to get the older stuff, (a.k.a. the stuff written and waiting to be polished off with images that I couldn't upload cuz I'd run out of space), up and out of the way for the new stuff coming. I've tossed some of the older posts, they simply aren't that interesting or relevant I feel, but I have kept the ones I feel are worthy.

I share credit with Julie, Sid's player. She collected all the FFGF information over the years and when it changed she snagged the new stuff. We've been keeping records since 1993. It's pretty wild to go back and see the evolution of the changes in the FFGF over the years.

We share this all on EvilPlottersInk.com in case anyone out there is interested.

You already know that I adore and respect you! You already know that I love, love, love reading you and have since waaay back on AOL....I guess the only thing you don't know is how happy I am to see you back and writing....Wait, nope, told you that too already....So all that's left is... ::BIG HUGS!!!::

Just a heads up....Real life is kicking my door down right now and everything else will be on hold until further notice.

We have a very sick kitty — I would tell you what he has if we only knew, we don't. We are still searching for a diagnosis, unfortunately, the only way to get one may prove deadly. So....for now we medicate and hope for the best.

Until this issue is resolved, or his condition at least stabilizes, it is highly doubtful I will be doing much other than my best to keep this board alive. Most likely through OOC posts. (Sorry!)

Hopefully things will stabilize soon and we can get back to a somewhat regular schedule that will allow me to dedicate some of my time to FFRP.

In the meantime....Merry Gaming All! May your fur babies stay safe and healthy!!! It really sucks when they don't!

Lan

LdyBelial

Date: 2014-12-12 16:04 EST
Kitty is miraculously doing better!!!! He may not fully recover and may have to be on meds for the rest of his life, but at least it might be a long and fruitful life!!! Much better prognosis than we had before.

Much thanks to all of you who wished him well!!!

I want to wish friends, play partners and anyone else following us Happy Holidays! May your season be bright with cheer and merriment!

Stories are on hold for right now....we most likely won't get back to them until the New Year — the holiday season is time for family and friends for us, I am sure y'all understand.

Happy Christmas, Merry New Year! May this Winter Season be bright and cheery for you! Lan

I am in a rather euphoric state. It has been a very busy few days but I received some wonderful and delightful news! I was sent a note on Renderosity that said one of my recent images had been selected as a staff picture! I ran over to see it here http://www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/?thread_id=2887200 and discovered much to my absolute joy that it wasn't just ONE but two! I am over the moon this holiday!

Happy New Year all! May 2015 prove to be our best FFRP year yet!!!

Blood Stories are on hold currently as Real Life is demanding a lot of attention. But do not dismay! Good news is hopefully just around the corner!!!

Congrats to Fio's Player for getting the recognition she most assuredly deserves! Her artwork is not only amazing but inspiring as well! Great work babe!!! (Yes, I did tell her to post her good news here too — I personally enjoy celebrating the successes of those near and dear, and hope you do too!)

New storylines are ahead for 2015 — new characters and a change of pace too. Stay tuned for updates!

And hopefully we will conclude the current ongoing storylines in play on the Bloods board within the next few months — given real life obligations allow.

In the meantime...Merry gaming all! May your FFRP sparkle and shine with awesome! Lan

::Glomps onto the Lan!!:: Sid is itching to be let loose as is Sun! Looking forward to some true Evil Plots, luvvie!

Currently, Sid is languishing this Winter in Summer, at the court of the Lands of Ghosts and Shadows (you know how much she enjoys court ::Sarcasm.:: ). The twins are being trotted out and displayed sporadically (Sid would keep them locked down if she could), much to their dismay and annoyance (Sid blames them not one whit), though Hawk has had attentions thrown to him left and right. Between you and me and the fence post, Sid is all for getting them the hell out of there as at their age (15? as of the 2nd of January) there are too many parents jockeying for their hands in arranged marriages! (The nerve!) That, and the attentions are too much, bound to get noticed by those unwanted, if they haven't been already. Time to shore up the protections Da!! ::Cues the Jack player and then glomps onto him as well!::

Whee....!

Jack Scot

The twins did indeed turned 15 at the beginning of the year. Hawk is breaking hearts and fueling speculation and becoming quite adept at the tearing down of all things, just as Joy is skilled in creation of all things and feeling awkward and so desperately and utterly in love. Makes it difficult to keep the kids under the umbrella. They want to spread their wings, mama.

::gloms on the Sidsta and so now they are a big glompy tangle and that's okay!::

Just a heads up, I know I have fallen behind a bit on my posting but I am working on more. I am just getting over that dreadful flu so taking my time as I am still suffering the effects.

It is a foul nasty thing I sought to avoid by getting a flu shot, but this bug just scoffed at my futile attempt to keep the walking death at bay, and in return it has sought to kill me with plague like misery for several weeks. I however have triumphed (So far) and it looks as if I might just survive it. Anyway, I hope to have something written soon!

So today's post comes from Edward, (i.e. Danse Macabre). He is actually my homage to Lovecraft, (in case anyone missed that....Heh, right.) I have a question for those that read us....

Edward has a huge backstory, but I am uncertain whether to even bother to tell it. So I ask those who read us - do you want to know more about Edward?

Feel free to leave your opinions - yay or nay - however you like!

This has been bugging me for weeks now....I really dislike random tidbits of OOC on our IC board. I have asked all players whom post here to respect this choice. I left it up for several weeks out of courtesy to the player but enough is enough already. Every time I visit our board it irks me to no end and I worry it will enable others to post their random tidbits of OOC in separate threads on our board as well. No, I will delete any further OOC posts not placed in the OOC section. We have an OOC section for a reason. We expect people to use it for their OOC announcements. If they can't I will delete them from our board.

Apparently Veighn's player feels his extended hiatus is of such great import that it needed it's own thread. It doesn't. It belongs here in our OOC section - where all our OOC should go. So I am moving the thread here for obvious reasons. If you posted to the thread, apologies, you will need to repost here instead. Thanks!

Lord Veighn Yhaull Posted:

Extended Hiatus Until Further Notice

I do, however, regret to inform you that my hiatus will continue to be extended. Married/Family life has taken over my spare time as of late, and what spare time I do have I'm dedicating to other artistic pursuits.

I wish you all well and good gaming too you.

I love the way you write with Edward, so what can I say' I think I can answer for a few I know, that the answer to this question is a big fat "YES!!"

Thanks babe! I am blessed to have a play partner and sister like you!!!

Backstory is always interesting! (At least I hope it is, 'cause that's what I've been doing lately myself....) Bring it on! :)

Thanks Ebon Player for your up vote!

Oooh, backstory for Ebon perchance?"" I can't wait!

Edward has a huge backstory, but I am uncertain whether to even bother to tell it. So I ask those who read us - do you want to know more about Edward?

PleasePleasePlease! And Hells yes!

A Viki sighting" LMAO! I feel like a pokemon.

I MISS YOU GUYS SO MUCH! What times do you guys play now" I do work from home 99% of my career now due to some changes in the last few years. We are six months away from the wedding too. And I adopted ANOTHER dog.

I stopped in the Lobby last night and chatted with a few folks but was off by 10pm ET.

Viki has been quiet in my head for the last few years but realizing you guys are still active has woken her up a bit. :twisted: I do miss writing with all of you, and your characters - especially Gabriel because he was so INSANE! And Sid <3....Manon!!!!!

Thanks for an interesting and well-written article, Lan!

Thank you Ebon Player for your kind words!!! As I am sure you know, I highly respect your opinions!

Now to the reason I am here today....

As with all things....it is time for a change. With the ending of "Raising the Dead" imminent - Julie and me will begin a new story arc we have been working on for a while now. We hope all of you who read us will continue to enjoy our stories as we take them in new directions and ever growing heights!

We have some new characters to introduce and of course some new villains....as well as some of our older ones too....Both characters and villains, heh.

We are looking forward to the future of our stories and we hope all of you will join us in our new adventures!

Keep your eyes peeled for updates as we are a busy evil plotting!!!

Merry Gaming Kittens!!! Lan

As we are looking forward to what you bring next!!! +heartu+ Brian!!!

As the title suggests - we aren't dead, we're just a bit busy right now....Julie's working a play and I have tons of work stuffs to deal with right now.

We will be posting soon! The finale to Raising the Dead is done, but currently in editing. Once that's finished we plan to start a new story arc. Yeah, yeah, we still have to finish off the Mab sl, but we don't wanna right now. We want something fresh! We will get to it....eventually. Ya know, when we are truly and utterly tired of Mab. Heh.

Both Julie and I agree that the Bloods need a little downtime, we've been torturing them for years now so we want to torture a few of our other characters instead for a bit and let the Bloods have a little rest....well? As long as it is possible for such a thing to actually happen anyway....I don't trust an evil plotter and, ah....Both Julie and I are really good at it! Still, it's the thought that counts, yeah' Yeah.

Hope all is well with all our RP friends! Hope y'all will come out and play when we can get on! Looking forward to some good scenes!!

As always....Merry gaming kittens!!! Lan

It's my Birthday Month. I plan to use it playfully!!!

Yes, I may be out for some rp but likely no story additions this month. I am taking a bit of time off to replenish the fountain of inspiration.

Come November....I should have the final installments for Raising the Dead polished and ready but....Fallout 4 is coming out and friends are coming in for visits! So....Not likely to be around much during November.

December however....I will have some serious free time! I am already planning on new sls and new directions, which will start seeing the light of play during the merry month of Holidays!

Hope to catch up with everyone then!!!

Until December....Merry gaming and all the beautiful stuffs!!! Lan

Whew at long last!!! I for one can't wait to put that thread in lockdown and move on to the next part of the Bloods global sl.

So what is next for our (somewhat) Heroes" Well if you are hoping I would spill the beans here you were wrong. Heh. You will have to read us! But yeah....there's more. Lots more.

I think we are in for a bumpy ride...

::evil grin.::

All that's left before I can post the finale is the final acts of editing. So if you've been following "Raising the Dead" keep a sharp eye out for the final post in the thread.

Excited yet' Personally, I am tickled pink!

We are currently working on the newest story arc, but none of it is ready yet. In fact, we are working out how we want to present the story this time around.

The idea of telling an over-arcing story through various characters is challenging, and sometimes confusing. So the real question is do we want to continue using that form of storytelling or move towards a more novel approach. We haven't yet decided....do you have a preference, dear readers" If so please let us know in the comments.

Until we figure it out - feel free to enjoy some of my other writing endeavors:

Grandma Mo "A Sight for Sore Eyes"

"Whisper and Shout" (the story hasn't started yet, but with the next post it will! These two characters are intended to highlight the local color - people/places/things - that make the WestEnd awesome. And yes, I am writing for both characters.)

Amelia Boucherie "A Call from Afar"

I have a few more new characters but they are not yet in play - but will be soon! I will post about them here once their stories start.

I hope you enjoy their stories as much as the Bloods stories! In the meantime....we are diligently working on more awesome for the Bloods. Please feel free to give us your opinion and then stay tuned for more! Lan

I've been busy evil plotting, yes indeed, I have!

We will be beginning the next chapter in the Mab SL likely this coming month so if you've been following the storyline, keep an eye peeled for it.

New directions ahead for all our characters and a couple of spin-offs, (story threads of their very own), for a few. If you have any favorites now is the time to let us know, so we can shower them with a little story attention love!

In the meantime....Merry Gaming Kittens! Lan

The first post goes up today!!!

Many....Many....Many more to come as the next chapter in their story commences.

I will add the link to the Mab SL once the post is up and live so for any newcomers you can easily follow the story from the beginning.

Enjoy!

For those who know...

The move is done. We are at the new place now, but, alas, there is still much (oh, so much) to be done. I had to borrow a computer to post because mine is still lingering all over my bedroom floor. Yay....::sarcasm dripping.::

The weather has been NO help at all. Thanks loads for that Mister Winter Storms. We really needed 3" of snow in the SOUTH. There is a reason we moved to the south, it was to escape the snow....Oh, well....Best intentions and all that jazz.

I will be posting more stories as soon as I can but in the meantime....

Stay safe and WARM!!! Because even down South ain't got the heat right now. Lan

Where are you? Some might ponder.

We're off following the yellow brick road as we seek all the things we think we need. Or maybe things we just want....

Truth' The pools left in the wake of the storms that have been weathered remain. They run putrid and dark. Until this passes we wait in quiet reflections of what might be in a future brighter than the one past.

See what?s become of me..."

Hazy Shade of Winter

For, behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples; but Yahweh will arise on you, and his glory shall be seen on you.

Isaiah 60:2

However this too shall pass and...

That which does not destroy me shall make me stronger...

For he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

So HBO and BBC (BBC One to be exact) co produced a series and it's actually pretty great! It's called, as the title of this post suggests, Gentleman Jack. It's based on the diaries of Anne Lister. If you don't know who she is take a moment to google her. She was pretty amazing.

I really love the song that is used for the series so I wanted to share it here.

Gentleman Jack by O'Hooley & Tidow

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! And, ah, yeah, watch the series if you can. It's very worthy!!!

It certainly is binge worthy, however I have to admit, I couldn't resist the new episodes as they aired. Had to watch!!! And I am a binge fanatic! No, seriesly, if I can binge watch it, I will.

I did it with the latest season of Shetland, and I am doing it again with the latest season of Big Little Lies. Can't watch just one! ::winks.::

Only issue? Having to wait for the next season....It pretty much sucks!
