Writer's Block: Toys In The Attic

[Error: unknown template qotd]

I don't believe I had a favorite toy. I preferred to read books and comics starting when I was 2. Any toy I had is currently up in the attic in the garage. Given the heat up there over the decades, everything has likely melted.

Due to my penchant for removing heads or removing their limbs and switching them around, we stuck with 99 Cent Store doll knock-offs, rather than Barbie dolls, the rare times I wanted something like that.

And on a fannish note for anyone that hasn't heard about it: Each morning, a special song is picked by the families of the astronauts on Space Shuttle Discovery, for them to wake up to. This time, for the final mission, instead of playing a song—William Shatner spoke to the crew as Captain Kirk.

He said this: “These have been the voyages of the space shuttle Discovery. Her 30-year mission: to seek out new science, to build new outposts, to bring nations together in the final frontier, to boldly go and do what no spacecraft has done before.” I love that he did that. And here is the footage of this taking place.

Game: X-Project
Genre: X-Men Movieverse on LJ
Newly Available Characters: Dust, Dryad, Outlaw, Anole, Leech, Sunpyre, Surge

Want to play a superhero and have grand adventures? Or perhaps you prefer a school-based game with all the drama involved in growing up and learning your place in the world? CSI-type private investigations? Dark and gritty spy games? Romance and relationships? X-Project has it all!

Brief Description of your game: X-Project is an X-Men movieverse RPG on Livejournal. Set after X2, we've been running since May 2003 and use a combination of in-character journals and email/IM logs. There's a number of settings for a range of play, whatever your preference, and while we accept new characters we strongly encourage people to adopt one of our orphans.


Link to Game Information/Application: Applications can be found here. Please read the previous history of the character before applying. A test log with the mods will usually be required, and we'll ask prospective players to communicate with players in the cases of significant relationships with a played character (eg: If you want to app Jeanne-Marie Beaubier, you'll be asked to ping Jean-Paul's player, to ensure continuity). See the FAQ on Applications for details.
