Characters can surprise you with they request be written in.
Oh, tell me about it! Heh! Those stubborn sons of bitches! They have minds of their own! One thing I love about RP is that I never know what direction characters will take. For instance, with the summer plot on D*, I only had vague ideas of how it was going to go. I didn't write any of the speeches beyond the first ahead of time; I couldn't. I wanted to wait and see what had happened so none of it sounded contrived. I fully expected something big to happen, but for Sirius the something big ended up being the Karen subplot, where she was taken away from him. That totally blindsided me because, you know, Sirius likes to think he has everything planned out in advance and that one he didn't even see coming. So that was very, very cool.
Might I say I love it when the unexpected happens? I'm not pointing fingers at anything with this little rant. I'm just expressing curiosity. I think we have one of the best RP boards out there, in terms of quality of players, and I adore it. I think everyone's doing a wonderful job with their characters. Wonderful. It's a pleasure to check the board every five minutes day and see what the collective minds are coming up with. And I'm really glad you and Gov joined us.
