Another topic from Mandy!
One thread or more that represents why, exactly, you love your character and/or love playing them.
And such a gorram hard one, too. I am also calling this 'Random Historical Self-Pimping' because good god I think I love all of my pups way too much. *squishes them*
So here, have some Red and Mal in the stables, with River to the rescue.
Or! Serenity returns to Serenity. The fact I got there from where Mal was through the TV canon and the film...even if I suck at RP, I did that, and it makes me happy.
ETA: Also!![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
innerbrat!Debi has a compliments meme up. Go forth!

Spending long hours in front of the computer putting those typing skills to good use, writing threads made of ultimate crack to boost morale, using creative thinking skills to come up with great plots and using logical applications for working on personal conflict and difficult situations.
The 'fictional' aspect of the position allows for great on the job training and experience in a setting which is relaxed, as well as room for error which can easily be corrected, and the option for others to review the work done and offer pointers.

Each tag is worth 5 dollars. If the tag is over 100 words, 10 dollars. If it's a damn novel, 15 dollars.
EPs are worth 20 dollars, plus 5 dollars per thread you manage to attract using your wit and
pied piper like ninja skillzskill to draw in customers. Marketing is important!Also, there will be an allowance for foodstuffs, tea, booze, and research materials. Plus one month paid holiday each year.

Aaaaaaaliens! (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/17714938.html#cutid1) Therem must be inexplicable (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/18614589.html?thread=782383165#t782383165) and Sorve must be too curious for his own good (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/17750250.html?thread=741254634#t741254634), though to that end it becomes for everyone's good (http://untraitor.livejournal.com/1594.html). I don't play them as often as I'd like to, but they tend to make ripples when they do come 'round.
Playing gods is fun -- sometimes they canon-puncture themselves (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/17439539.html)! (Also: writing for this puppet is like taking every creative writing exercise ever, and putting it into a martini shaker. It's delightful.)

Call me biased, but I like mine. ;)
The temporal myth is man.
The magical cross is an integration of the worth of mortals at the expense of their spirits. Surround it with the triangle and you begin to see the Triune house. It becomes divided into corners, which are ruled by our brethren, the Four Corners: BAL DAGON MALAC SHEOG. Rotate the triangle and you pierce the heart of the Beginning Place, the foul lie, the testament of the irrefutable-for-a-span. Above them all is the horizon where only one stands, though no one stands there yet. It is proof of the new. It is the promise of the wise. Unfold the whole and what you have is a star, which is not my domain, but not entirely outside my judgment. The grand design takes flight; it is transformed not only into a star but a hornet. The center cannot hold. It becomes devoid of lines and points. It becomes devoid of anything and so becomes a receptacle. This is its usefulness at the end. This is its promise.
--from The 36 Lessons of Vivec, Sermon 13
That's the beginning and the key to a sort of intensely poetical series of bits of information that amounts to the author of these sermons, the god Vivec, telling you, the player character, that you are the player character. In other words informing you that you exist inside and outside a video game.
Vivec put on his armor and stepped into a non-spatial space filling to capacity with mortal interaction and information, a canvas-less cartography of every single mind it has ever known, an event that had developed some semblance of a divine spark.
(Sermon 19)
'The secret Tower within the Tower is the shape of the only name of God, I.'
...though what that last bit means in context is that Sheogorath does not himself possess CHIM within the constructs of the game: he is basically programming code for the world. All of the world-building lore-gods are metaphores for programming code.

She-Hulk meets Roy Mustang, and there is immediate discussion of political theory, international relations, and the body politic. (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/18357253.html?thread=770104069#t770104069) It's fairly short and didn't finish, but I absolutely loved how they talked to each other.
She-Hulk greets Vincent Valentine at Milliways. (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/17866082.html?thread=746714978#t746714978) Totally opposite personalities that somehow manage to converse! Then, of course, we have She-Hulk and Fox Mulder, (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/17807993.html?thread=744013945#t744013945) and Jen plus Daredevil in the midst of Civil War treading carefully around each other.
Hawkgirl is impressed by Marlowe's Eyepatch of Hotness! (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/17514676.html?thread=731110324#t731110324)
Le Chiffre is cryptic, Kendra doesn't know he's evil. Yet. (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/16380699.html?thread=675515419#t675515419) Oh, god, I so loved that thread.
One that never gets old: Mugen and Kendra try to outsnark each other. (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/17242652.html?thread=719112220#t719112220)
I'd put up all of Kendra's threads with Tom and Clark, but they've been self-pimped before.
Okay, wait, I lied. Still have to put up this one, because one of the highlights of my Milliways life was Kendra watching Clark's reaction after being threatened with doom if he knocks up a daughter of Zeus.

But I'm fortunate to be playing with a bunch of entirely awesome people. That makes such a difference, because it's a challenge. Oh, I should have put up the time Mal and She-Hulk met, and she ordered Skrull ale, remember?

Molly returns to Milliways, gets Bound, gets miffed and gets off on the wrong foot with Jamie Hamilton. Later she tries to comfort a guilt-ridden Mary.

Baby's First bartending. I worried about playing a character who was only in one episode of a TV show, but you know . . . I think he's settling in just fine.
Probably my favorite thread of all time: How Jack Green Got His Groove Back. Everyone who participated was just amazing and all I can do is sit back and applaud in awe.

This one with Belle, because it felt like I found a way to handle Will's broken parts.
BBC Robin and Will, this thread made me wibble so much while writing it but it also just gets so much of what I love about the Robin Hood myth.

Maya -- this thread with Vincent sums it up well, as does this with Dan.
I play Plourr because I get to do things like this (kick the crap out of people) and this (argue), but also quieter moments.
Hawkeye, it's for that mix of funny, charming, and heartbreaking.
I play characters from M*A*S*H because I get to do things like this. *cackles and loves canonmates*

It encapsulates the ending of a major, major part of Tom's character arc, and it plays up the relationships, IC and OOC, that are meaningful. I was so proud of that plot. So, so proud.
