So wait are we over here full-time now? Can I close other anons?

I wish people would care less about the pbs they wrote across unless they’re terrible people. That’s one thing that I just can’t understand.

While I’m here I don’t know who needs to hear it but Squeaky probably doesn’t have to run IJ. It doesn’t look like he’s making money off of it, just sustaining it.

Why did we leave Livejournal?

How long has ij been down?

Sometimes I think about this line I had at a creature comm where most writers were women or gay men and everyone got so weird about het lines like you were a pariah for playing a woman and wanting a het line. I usually play men but I wrote a woman character because I had this idea I loved, and she ended up becoming friends with and then dating this guy (HE asked HER out and pursued it) who was deeply in the closet and in love with at least 2 other men in the comm and I loved it because I hadn't revealed publically yet that my girl was gay as fuck and had a huge crush on her other co-worker who was a woman, and was in the closet also to please her family but I had dropped hints. (This was a comm where we did strikethrough private thoughts so it was out there) And I really wanted a beard line between them where they thought about having a kid with each other and had affairs on the side, but the person playing the guy was so fucking obsessed with their slash lines and gay male sex and angst that they couldn't even develop what could have been a really cool and interesting line between these two people struggling with their identity all because it was a "het" line. And the writer was a queer woman, so it was also a double slap in the face that they all hated RPing with and AS women so much.

Does that anon who volunteers or whatever with IJ have a way to wake Squeaky up because this is ridiculous.

Every time IJ goes down, I go look at the Facebook to see how many of you are going absolutely rabid and being rude as hell to Squeaky in comments. I wouldn't be surprised if he ever just shut it all down based on that alone.

Y'all know you can work on your replies/narratives/updates in a Word doc, a Google doc, your Notes app, or plenty of other places, right? And there are plenty of free websites where you can test HTML too. IJ being down is not preventing you from writing anything.

I just found out IJ is down, but with how frequently it's been happening lately and how long these outages can be, I don't get why some of you are acting like it's unreasonable to be frustrated.

What are you doing instead of harassing a grown man about his website this morning anons? I'm crocheting and reading about how Shelby White got busted for owning illegal antiquities.

The more I think on it, the more appealing faceless lines are. I can imagine your character looks like whoever tf I want, you can dobthe same, and the chemistry speaks for itself.

I'm not unscreening anything on this conversation beyond factual updates on IJ's status because it's devolving into insults and arguing now. Play nice, please.

While we're down, quick poll: How would you feel about a multi-location comm allowing duplicate PBs (within reason, max number depending on comm size), so long as they had to maintain a different default?

Mod, your censoring the Karen brought me joy this morning. Thank you. I hope they're raging about being denied their much deserved thanks for their public service.

I heard Kim Petra's throat goat today and almost crashed my car because I was crying laughing over it, what a fucking JAM

I love platonic lines so much and it is so frustrating when you get backburned because people are only writing for romance.

I'm about a decade too late but I think I dw to start pbing idols.

I always thought a PB comm that was faceless would be fun but then people would have to actually write creatively and collaboratively and I know that wouldn't actually work out and live.

Is Courty still relatively active? I want to join but I don't want to waste my time.

It gives me the ick when people say it's just their preference if they want to write against a face they find attractive or they'd nope out as soon as they saw an ugly PB. Most writers I've come across who say things like this play self inserts who act like it's cheating if you have more than one SL.

My toxic trait is that I pb idols and I tend to gravitate towards other idols in communities but I will say more people are open to the idea of interacting with them in pb comms than they were a few years ago.

I just remembered when we rented the Blair Witch Project when it first came to vhs and it scared ten year old me so bad I slept with every light on, moved my dresser in front of my bedroom door, closed my curtains and threw blankets over them, put my Powerpuff girls tape in and turned on Dlilah at night on my radio and went to sleep waking up every twenty minutes.
