Order of business: Today is my last DE until I get back from my wedding/honeymoon, which will be Saturday, October 8th, so business as usual starts back up on 10/10. \o/!

Topic, because this is what is in my head: Is your pup married? Were they? Does marriage exist in their canon? What do they think of it? Do they want to be married?

Yesterday was my Milliversary. I mean, I usually do miss it, but I was so close this time.

7 years.

What can I even say that I didn't say.......



Hrm, well, shuffling through 7 years of WBR it appears that I have never, ever made a milliversary post timely enough to be ever found again. Also wow that was a trip down Memory Lane.

Never mind, let's start over.

Seven years! And I still love this game, one of the oldest and longest-running panfandom games. I love the beautiful, insane accreted setting I have watched grow up; I love the format (which I have also watched accrete and grow up); I love the different stories you can tell with it--so many different kinds of stories! Canon playthroughs, canon alternation, full scale abandonment of canon, crack, character development, redemption, heists, romance, growing up, living and dying--and I love the stories that HAVE been told and will be told with it; I love the things that stay the same and the things that change all the time and the way that as characters and players have come and gone and very frequently come back again, much changed, as the speed and the size and the temperament have altered there is still something core to the game, hard to define but an essentially Milliways character that is always there.

And I love the players, who are smart and compassionate and completely insane. I have watched literally generations of players come (and sometimes go); learning the same lessons, taking characters through the same initial storylines and then growing in different ways, learning what they enjoy and what they will never ever do again; the stories that grow in nuance and fine-tuning of emotion as the players come to inhabit the skins of characters who become real to them and to all of us.

This is a good game. It is full of good people and low on drama and the expectations are kind and you are always welcome back after you go be crazy somewhere else for a while. This is home, and incidentally where I met nearly every one of my best friends, the ones who have been there, like this place, while everything else has come and gone and come back again, through loss and gains and massive confusion. Which applies both in game and out.

Through all the fads and drama and hiatuses and exhaustion and bad, bad ideas, this is a good game. And I love you all.

And this year special thanks go to batyatoon who roused me out of a funk and dragged me back into the game by main force by making me an offer I couldn't refuse. (nepetaleijon) My presence is much reduced but I am still here, and I'm glad.

7 years!

And then I posted this in the wrong place twice! SEE ICON.

Mun PSA and a question

[spooky-lemur.livejournal.com]

So sorry to folks for flaking on threads yesterday. This morning I need to focus on work but this afternoon I hope to get back to serious tagging.

Also, I know a lot of us read and have been introduced to new canon solely due to Milliways. I was wondering if there is a milli-book club or if anyone would be interested in starting one?

Happy Hour with Demeter is up here and will be open until I sleep, which will probably be around 1 or 2 am EST.

Shout Outs

[ceitfianna]

There's been a lot of wonderful stuff this week and as Gabby is feeling tired, I'm doing a pinch hit of them for her.

Gene goes to the doctor, he ends up grumpier than normal.

Yrael plays and changes the mood of many in Milliways. Every thread is beautiful.

Scorpius blows up his broom and has some hard conversations.

Karkat works on idea after talking with Twilight Sparkle, who has been in so many fantastic threads of late. Actually that applies to both of them, Karkat's other EP on the front page with the origami scythe is brilliant.

Now this is just the beginning of all the brilliance in Milliways, share what I've missed.
