A wee BDE announcement for you sensitive types, and some random entertainment

[thatsamilkshake]

Hey guys!

We just wanted to make a quick little announcement that might be important for a chunk of our populace. With the Mad Scientist in town and the BDE kicking off, if you have a character that is capable of picking up on a proverbial 'bad feeling,' please feel free to do so! Please don't have them figure out anything specific, of course, but having them get a case of the psychic willies is totally fine!



Now, for your amusement because I was poking at spreadsheets in order to help tempt a potential newbie, we have (counting alumni and expats):

66 players from
10 countries

145 fandoms
(that's on the cautious side as I counted all Marvel as one fandom and all DC as another)

282 characters

85 alumni/expats
51 townies
27 teachers
40 seniors
48 juniors
25 sophomores
6 freshmen

58 book characters
24 comic characters
17 animated characters of which
       10 are anime (though I may have lumped a manga in here as anime in ignorance)
       7 are western animation
33 film characters of which
       10 are Star Wars+EU because figuring out book vs. film gave me a headache
12 video game characters
138 live action tv characters

137 female characters
143 male characters
1 character who's both a woman and a man at different times
Miss Vida who is always a lady

And because it's me, I couldn't skip counting up that out of 282 characters, 51 of them are in some way, shape, or form, either canonically or demonstrably in Fandom, sometimes a little bit kinda gay. Which is probably a lowball figure, yes. (You count, Skywalker. No, not you. The other one. We know what you did with Obi-Wan.)

Part The First: Thank you for this! I wasn't sure with Savannah and Chloe and how much I could play with their senses.

Part The Second: Oh my god.

1 character who's both a woman and a man at different times

Hahaha I'm unique! Woo!

[thatsamilkshake]

If only Cal and his crazybits were with us still!

[likes_scoundrels]

We know what you did with Obi-Wan.

And that would be the sound of Leia's brain finally breaking.

We'll just hope she never encounters any RPS in her galaxy. You KNOW it's out there.

[brat_inslayage]

Oh god all my characters count in that last category, don't they.

SIGH.

[thatsamilkshake]

I...didn't count Tahiri or Jen? DESPITE A CERTAIN ALMOST-MARRIAGE. (Yes, McKnight. You count.) Buuuut pretty much.

[weetuskenraider]

True that, Jen doesn't count.

There is, on the other hand, a pretty strong canon case that could be made for Tahiri, because whoa with the slashy tension with Jaina.

[bitten_notshy]

Shiiiiiiny.

I less-than-three you lots for tallying this all up.

[thatsamilkshake]

*grin* Like I wasn't doing it to satisfy my own OCD...

[solo_sword]

I heart you so much for this. *g* Sorry for the headache!

[thatsamilkshake]

:D

FWIW I think ...seven of those ten? Are book-only.

[solo_sword]

Comics, too, now! :D

[bitchy_smurf]

DAMMIT ZAYNE. (Plus we had game, with Jolee)

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

Still have game with Kyle.

I'm pretty much the rogue element of the SW fandom.
