I should preface this by saying that pretty much EVERYONE at youarehere is pretty damn amazing. I think amazing-ness is actually a pre-requesite for being in this game. Seriously.
However, the real reason I love to play there and the real reason(s) I love playing gwest are two ladies. You two have helped build a truly unique and REAL line. You have pushed me to create the most layered and dimensional character I think I've ever come up with, and I am absolutely giddy about the writing I've been doing with the two of you. So.
KAELI. elliebethune et al. You know I think you're a great mod. You are truly the heart and soul of what keeps youarehere going. I am always impressed with that, and you know that. But you are also a PHENOMINAL writer. I look forward to every slow building scene with Gordon and Ellie. I love how you reveal little parts of her at a time, slowly peeling back all these layers she has as she and Gordon get closer. It's absolutely phenomenal. I love love love you for putting up with me pouncing on you constantly to write scenes with you, because I really do love this line so much.
JENN. lilyguevara. I told you on AIM how much it means to me that you came and stayed here, even though it took you a little while to really immerse Lily into the game. This is not an easy line to play. People in the middle of a bitter divorce? And with a kid? All the ups and downs we've already put them through? Not many people would sign up for a line like this. And yet you did, and you bring sooooo much to the table with Lily. I love writing with you.
So ladies. (And Everyone else at youarehere, youareamazing FUCKING. AMAZING.

Oh, Supernatural fandom. You make me giggle so hard.
Jared Padalecki is engaged. I have to go cry bitter, bitter tears now while flaiming his fiancée all over the internets!

robth,
You are fantastic in ways I'm not sure I can describe. Our action together was fiercely limited (due entirely to my inability to do a PSL in the right way), but even in the limited time, you are, hands down, the best Rob I've ever intereacted with. I wish I could have been better, for you, because you are just...the tops. Thank you for putting up with me and being absolutely wonderful.

While sitting around discussing all of the wonders of the world, my co-mod and I fell into the topic of biography. We opened this place up a little over six months ago, and since then it has grown into this beautiful place that we couldn't be happier with. It's so nice to, as members, post something and know that there will always be someone to comment. There is always someone around for good conversation, and reading the entries that you guys post is so enjoyable. We have a community full of incredible writers, but it goes beyond that. Not only can you all write well, but every single one of you are assets to the community. You are all what keeps the place going, and you have all been so patient with us in the past six months of our little biography life. Modding a community like this is more than an honor.

It's been two years this January since I joined the madness at duvet as this girl, and I can't help but think that these two years have given me some of the most satisfying storylines and writing related moments that I've ever had in the world of RP. This place truly is a little secret pocket of joy on the server, and I've never met so many wonderfully committed people in one place. The lifers there are dedicated gems and those that come and go also contribute so much to the landscape. I want to highlight people who have had a genuine affect on Althea's life, but know that even if your name isn't here, you are a star and you are appreciated.
( And now on to the praising )

I have an achy head, but I'll go back and do other people's later, but.. MEME! Make me feel better with ego strokings.1. Tell me one thing you love about me.
2. Tell me two things you love about yourself. No self-deprecation allowed.
3. Look through the comments ~ when you see someone you know, tell them three things you love about them.
4. Do this in your journal so I can tell you what I love about YOU - and if you've already done it, tell me so, so that I can go back and give you some love.

There are a lot of people that I can praise that I've run into along the way. Josh has been a constant for me for the past two years or so, and I'm grateful to all of the people that have interacted with him and made him feel welcome. I know he's on the cusp of celeb status and not a lot of people know who he is, but I adore him and I'm glad that you've all made it possible for me to adore him even more. But there's a couple of you out there that stand above the rest and I just wanted to give you guys a shout out.

I've been meaning to do this forever and I keep putting it off, but I just want to say how totally F-ING proud I am to be among the amazing group of writers at screen, and wherever or whatever form we've been together in the past too. I've been drinking the corbis koolaid since 2006 with my guy, and even though I knew that place was ridiculously fun (and ridiculous and fun) from day one, I don't think any of us ever imagined we'd come this far together and still have so much fun with new writers and old ones. Even if we never interacted or we piss each other off ic or whatever, I still think you are all amazing for hanging in there and doing what you do, and for being the kind of writers I know you are. KEEP ON KEEPING ON, YOU GUYS.
( shoutouts for ~screen )

mattyaarongood You are beyond amazing. We clicked off the start and Jensen adores the hell out of you. As a RPEr I adore the hell out of you. You are friendly, funny and just simply a great person. Don't ever change. Thank you for being awesome.

A quick note to the people I love. I'm using your ~whhs names because it's simpler this way, though it's more you guys in general than your characters in specific.
riveria - You are my everything. You lift me up when I'm down, pick me up when I fall and are just generally my rock. You know I'll follow you everywhere and do anything for you. Our SLs make me grin unbelievably at all times. I don't know what else I can say except that I heart your crazy American behind. And, y'know, the rest of you too.
rgm - iPounce you. Much, much love. I can't even talk about how you make me glee. Glee, I say. I like that we can just yak at each other about whatever and that our play is fun and not pressured or rushed. And, of course, that you get my muses all riled up. Not to mention the rather ...uplifting... things you send me. Ahem.
therschell - Stalker! How many more games will we find each other at? All I know is wherever we are, we have a good time and goddamnit, I love your sanity in an insane world! I'm glad I found you amidst all the jerks out there.
In short, I think you three are amazing, obviously. <3 creepy hearts.

oh fauxtography, youareamazing.
I know it's silly to say about a place that is new but honestly, you are truly amazing. I spent the past few months trying to find a community I felt "right" at. I went to both established communities and new ones, but nothing fit what I needed. Hell, I spent an entire month trying to find somewhere for my boy over there and nothing seemed right. But from the moment I joined, something clicked. I hadn't been this excited about role playing or a community since the gj at its peak. Everyone there is just so friendly and the character are so eclectic; the latter of which surprised me since it seems that newer faux celebrity games are always the same credits and the same pbs. Keep it up modly mods and everyone else, you guys are the bee's knee!

I don't know if anyone mentioned here will see this, because it's not for people on IJ but that's ok. I feel like it should be said because I'm having a hell of a lot of fun and I want my people to know how much I appreciate them.
Cory
( Such a beautiful surrender. )
Jessica
( Your bus awaits, ma'am. )
Christopher
( Oh you. )
Kevin
( Rad! )
Dianna
( Have I mentioned you're stunning? )
Katie
( Yoooou. )
There are others that Mark talks to and I definitely appreciate all of them. I've been having such an amazing time playing him and I love that. I love the interaction and I love playing off of other people. I love creating something with someone else and I just wanted to thank everyone I talk to for giving me that opportunity. As Mark would say, y'all are amazing!

It is a new year, and that means new beginnings. A chance to start over and wash your hands clean of the past in order to make room for whatever is supposed to come in the future. This has been a hard year, a hard decade for most of us. For me personally I lost my father to cancer, saw my family fight through financial and health issues, lost a couple of family members, struggle through a relationship with my boyfriend and many other things that would be too long to go into it. The point of this is that through all the hardship I had a lot of the times I was able to rely on roleplay. It was a mental escape that I was able to turn to in order to take a break from my real life. Sometimes it got a little overwhelming, and sometimes it just got downright boring and uneventful. But all in all, it was still there when I needed it. I want to take this moment to give appreciation for those who kept it fun and kept me sane along the way.

| i wish i was better at this stuff |
[01 Jan 2010|01:25am] |
it's that time again. every few months i like to write you a little something. maybe it is a bit strange but it makes me feel better and i can only hope it makes you feel better too. i found this only fitting since the year is new and all. i'm sure i could have worded that better. forgive me if this is a mess, you know how my mind is! anyway! this is for you rryanross
this past year was one of the worst for me. i have a lot going on in my life and its hard to get through the same problems day after day. but there has always been this constant source of joy throughout it all. it's you. i honestly do not know what i would have done without you. that may seem strange, especially considering we have little to no ooc contact. but this line has helped my lows seem almost high. the bad times have been outshined by you and ryan. you really are amazing and i wish i could properly convey how much you really mean to me. hopefully this will do it justice.
as i have said time and time again, your portrayal is spot on. in fact, sometimes you make me pretty angry and so does ryan in real life so i know you're pretty perfect. just kidding (maybe) but anyway! this year has been an incredible one for our boys. their commitment to each other has reached new levels. a marriage/civil union and a baby on the way. it's intense. it's been drama-filled but not to the point where i can't take it anymore, although you have made me cry on more than one occasion. but giving me that chance to feel something through a line is something that i thought i lost. most lines i could take or leave, they have little or no impact on me at all, sadly. but ours...it really is something special. i know that whether its a happy or sad feeling there will still be some spark there and even something as little as that can get me through the day.
i would not change anything about this line. the games we play together whether its WoW or something on pogo or the movies we watch together until the wee hours of the morning. the only real thing that has changed is that we don't write as often as we did but we have not stopped completely and i think we're both just lazy with little attention spans so games and movies work for us. i know i've said this before but i would like to stop being lazy and actually write with you again but i can make no promises as to when my attention span will allow it.
simply put, you are perfect. you are wonderful. you're smart, funny, witty and talented. you make me super happy and i hope that you don't tire of me any time soon. thank your for almost two wonderful years. let's hope this continues.
love you always,
bbren
