Do you ever find yourself wondering how to accomplish conversations or more-than-fleeting interactions with non-player characters in Out of Milliways plot threads? Anonymous comments just not cutting the mustard anymore? Always dreamed of having famous PB's and silly icons in OOM crack plots, but just don't have the icon space?

Now we have the answer: [livejournal.com profile] comm_npc. Fully paid 50 icon account.

Feel free to ping Gareth, Karen or Debi to get access to this account for all your NPC threading needs.

Leon says there had better not be any drool on his seats.

Also, you guys are awesome. What a great idea!

Wow! Great idea.

Thanks all of you ever so much!

Mod-cleared? Just for the potentiality that someone ends up bringing in the character represented there?

No, it's not, but it will be by next week when the mods are sober/sane/alive again.

Well, at least you guys are aware of it. . . and you can either link the new mun to threads they were in or decide it's another timeline.

Yes, thank you for your suggestions.

If that person were to wish to bring in a character such as Leon the fictional 1996 New York cab driver (and undercover cop) with no canon, or Rabbi Simmons, who works at the fictional uncanonised Yorkville Synagogue in Warren's world, then I'm sure that the three comments those characters had in the Out of Milliways plot they were involved in can be worked into the canon that the mun makes up for them.

You kinda missed the point to this. This is for non-player characters, random people you meet in the street with no canonical background. They are the movie extras, the uncredited cast. Hance why the journal name is Jon Doe, and the reason for the default icon.

Nothing that goes on with the bit-part characters played through this journal was intended for use in Milliways community, purely Out Of Milliways plot. The user information makes this very clear.

Nevertheless, thank you for ensuring that I followed correct protocols. I'll think twice about my next donation to the community.

Ahhh. Sorry for confusion; thought perhaps you meant bringing in a character who had canon, but was not played in-bar and no one wished to app for only the one thread . . . *headdesk* *headdesk* *headdesk* Many many apologies. this is kickass and I see no problem with it.
