Righto. Well, it seems that most of you are interested in the writing workshop. So here's how it'll work. Just sign up below with the topic you'd like to write about. If you don't know what you want to write about and would like ideas, just indicate that and we'll chime in to let you know what we see as your greatest strengths.

If no one takes issue with it, I think I'd like to write about Characterization. I can put up my essay in a day or two as an example and then you all can post yours. Just space them out a bit if you would. XD

(Honey? No it somehow became serious.)

(*cries*)

(Well, if you're absolutely against it, we should probably discuss it with Ana.)

(I can't say that I like it at all, but as long as what you're doing is within the rules, I can't forbid it. I would ask that you think about it, though. I mean, we've already done the pregnancy thing. And how likely would it be to have a population explosion in the middle of a war, that, if they lose, will mean that everyone dies? Who'd want that for a child? Besides, would Ana cheat on Newt? I don't get that feeling canonically. Or that she'd be content with single parenthood - she doesn't know that Loki will survive. Just, please, think through all the long-term consequences for the characters and the game. I mean, who's going to play these kids? Does that unfairly bypass our two characters rule once they're old enough to talk and act on their own? What do they contribute to the game? to the plot? It's just... a lot, you know?)

(Well, Ana's said that yes, she would cheat on Newt and the idea so far is that Newt will raise Honey with her. It's not a planned pregnancy, though, so Loki's survival and single parenthood won't figure into the decision to sleep with him. Neither Ana nor I have two characters at the moment, so I can't see how we'd be bypassing the three characters rule here. As I said we should discuss it with Ana, though. This whole thing started from her saying Ana would like to have a child. - Loki, he'd like to sleep with her and he likes children, but it's Ana's baby, Ana's idea and Ana's decision to have or not to have Honey.)

(But that's assuming things of a future player that we don't even have. What if someone shows up wanting to play Newt and gets forced into this situation of having to raise someone else's kid? That's not fair. At least leave him out of it so his future player can make his/her own decision about whether or not to get involved.

And Anathema is so practical, canonically, that I cannot imagine her neglecting birth control even if she does intend to cheat.

Whatever. I realize this is Ana's issue, and I need to take it up with her, so I'll stop complaining to you about it now. Sorry.)
