All right, everymonster! I hope you all had a good Christmas out there, and maybe even received a Monster High surprise or two in your stocking? I was lucky enough to receive Lorna McNessie and Marisol Coxi, two dolls I hadn't even seen in person yet! I also received some fang-tastic art of Draconia and her friends that I hope will show up in the fanart thread soon wink

Tell us what your Christmas hauls were! I also received a great deluxe squirrel-proof birdfeeder and some lovely earrings.

So, what's going on with the rp? Now that the holidays are out of the way and it seems to be smooth sailing for me work-wise, it's time to double down, open up, rev the engines and restock ALL the cliches to get things moving again. Here's what's on tap for the near future:

-We're going to cap off the Luna High Graveball story arc within a week. The prank war will lead to the big game, and that will cap off the day (which, if you've lost track, is Thursday rp-time).

-There will only be a few 'during school' things rped for Friday, because the big emphasis is going to be on the Date Night sub-plot a few characters have been preparing for. Dashner Hawke and Peggy Springwell will finally have their date skiing down an active volcano. Who will Draconia end up going out with? (seriously, who? 13 Mansters on her list and I have no idea!) What other romantic foibles or adventures would you like to see happen during Date Night?

-The Saturday after Date Night is Harry Herne's big Woestock fearstival. Do you have ideas that you'd like to see happen at the fearstival? Which characters should fang out? Will the band Atomica & the Rest...In Peace steal the show, or will Jimi Hexdrix play them into oblivion?

-After Woestock, we have two more events before the end of the Scaremester. The first is the last SKRM (Skulltimate Roller Maze) match, between perennial rivals Granite City and Monster High, and the second is final exams. For the SKRM match, I am thinking about changing up the format of the roleplay a little bit. Tell me, would you be interested in an event where everyone roleplaying (even the spectators) can control what happens in the event? What I mean by this is, even if you are just sitting in the crowd, you could write something like:

Draconia St George
Draconia yelped and covered her eyes as she sat in the stands. A giant tidal wave rose up next to the bridge Glen Da West was skating on!


And the next person to reply would be able to do the same thing. It would be a bit more challenging, but it would let everyone have more of the action in their laps. What do you think about this?

Finals is going to be pretty brief. We're going to wrap up the first half of the year and then be able to move on to winter break. Winter break will be a good time for new characters to move in, get introduced and situated before we start the second half of the year and move into Spring Scaremester. Does anyone have new characters they're thinking about introducing into the rp?

(more to come...)

Okay, time for part 2 of my post. It takes longer to post when I'm at work and sneaking in between the down-times.

If it seems like I'm asking a lot of open-ended questions in my last post, that's because I genuinely want to see some feedback from you guys. The rp has been open for a year and a half, and it's time to make some adjustments, open things up and try new things.

I hate the term "GM." I don't play Dungeons and Dragons and never have, and don't have any experience being a 'games master' or whatever GM stands for. If there's a title for what I do as head of the guild, it's Head Booker. 'Booker,' admittedly, is a pro wrestling term, and what it means is that I'm the person who puts together the angles and the storylines - but it means also that I have to be reactive, open to adjustment and able to emphasize YOUR strengths and help hide the weaknesses. It's not rigid, it's fluid. There's no drawn map we have to conform to at all costs. I want you all to consider yourselves bookers too - I want to be receptive to your ideas, help you put them into play and make each of your characters a featured star in their own right.

I may toss out a guild announcement for this, but I'd like to see you guys toss out some ideas for events and angles YOU want to see during Winter Break for the student bodies. In the past, I've been given suggestions for a Pet's Club, a magic-tainted Spellbound card tournament plot, a gender-flipping accident, and other crazy plotlines we haven't had a chance to put into effect. What ideas do you all have? Let's see some brainstorms!

No worries, after our last talk I figured that was the case! Between the holidays, illness and end-of-year business, I expected things to get pretty slow.

Like I said, I'm open to hearing any suggestions, plans or ideas anyone has for the howliday break. If it seems like something no one's interested in, then we'll move right to the Spring scaremester and the Dimension Blank plotline. We have at least one new student who will be debuting for the spring!

Coming up after Dimension Blank, there will be a new plot I'm working on. It's tenatively entitled "Boodunnit?!" and it will be an interactive, Phoenix Wright-style mystery.

Here is something I thought would be fun to think about and discuss to get to know each others' OCs a little better.

What do your characters want to be after they graduate?

Glen wants to attend Boo-niversity and become a Mad Scientist, but with a twist. Being a witch, he wants to be the first Mad Scientist to mix his art with magic.

Chase Q wants to be a wrestler for the Monster Wrestling Freakeration.

Lin McGearloch's dream is to be a pit crew mechanic for NasGrr.

Layla LaMia is heir to the Lamia throne so her after-school career has been decided, but she would like to work with her art until the time comes she replaces her mother.

Shadeaux D. Gloom plans to follow in his old man's footsteps as a Sackman. His poetry is strictly for the masses, freebie-style. Y'dig?

Draconia dreams of being a master Playfrighter whose plays open on Bloodway and Spooksfeare's Globe theatre.

9 days in, after 4 phone calls that lasted a total two and a half hours, I can understand why everyone hates the IRS. gonk

Sorry, my super-duper busy week dealing with business concerns kept me from pushing things ahead like I wanted on a lot of fronts. I'm especially sorry to Marceline for missing some chances to talk to her this week.

On the bright side, things seem to be finally unwinding at work and we're starting to get back to business as normal. So, I'm looking at some possible future plots and ideas.

Anyone interested in reviving Towns roleplay? We had a lot of fun doing rp in Towns before the guild existed!

Nero is arguing with his parents about whether or not to skip college completely. He wants to go pro with his music career and become a rapper, collaborating with other artists and eventually moving up to producing. He want to follow in the footsteps of his friends Griminem and the Notorious DOA. Basically, he wants to be Grave-Z.

...yes I love coming up with rapper names. whee

Nero's parents will probably talk him into getting a business degree so he can manage his business and finances. The finer points of math still escape him.
