Jack of Tales Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Since the thread I was engaged in seems to have paused for awhile, I was wondering if we were allowed to be engaged in multiple threads? If so, I'd like to start one for Kiera. Her shadow powers still have workings that she doesn't understand and she's accidently constructed several self-aware and malicious little gremlins. They come out at night and plague the Academy with little misdeeds such as misplacing tests, breaking dishes or breaking electronics. Good idea? Yay.Nay?
Nyrath Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Multiple threads aren't a problem; just look around and you'll notice that several folks are involved in several different threads at once. Grimalkin, Nanowire, Icarus/Heavy, Velocity, the list goes on.
Barnum Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Yep, Nyrath has it exactly correct. Being in more than one thread isn't a problem at all. If I were you, I'd go into the new thread with an idea of where it fits in the story of your character (Is it before or after your other thread? How are they connected? Stuff like that). Any other continuity problems (if any) can be cleaned up after the fact . . . comic book style. :D
Nyrath Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 State that due to time constraints things which to the observer appears to be occuring at the same time actually don't from the perspective of the characters? Blame extradimension, nigh-omnipotent entities for interfering with the fabric of space and time? (this is partly my own fallback point, I've even got one stuck into my characters' backgrounds).
Barnum Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 And if you really need it . . . Superboy can punch a hole in the space-time continuum for you. . . . with his fist. :shock: I know, right?
Folkert Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Superboy-Prime, please. Superboy doesn't do much pounding anymore. :cry:
Veiled Malice Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Feh. You're assuming that DC won't use some hackneyed plot device to bring him back at some point, voiding the grand sacrifice Conner made. :roll: Honestly, he was one of the best written characters in the current DCU because of the changes he'd gone through over the years. And it's because of that I hope the guy stays dead instead of having some wannabe writer cook up yet another intellectually insulting situation in which he returns from the grave. (Jason Todd, anyone?)
Dr Archeville Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 I, for one, welcome a continuity-maintaining overlord.
Barnum Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 I, for one, welcome a continuity-maintaining overlord. I nominate Dr. A. as CMO. :bow:
Dr Archeville Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 I nominate Dr. A. as CMO. :bow: ......... blast! *shakes tiny fist* (Actually, this was sorta something I was working on, trying to pin down when assorted adventures were occurring to try and formulate some sort of Official FC PbP Timeline. And not just adventures, but stuff from character backgrounds, too, where dates were provided. Unless otherwise indicated, I'm using the date the character was fully approved as the date they 'debuted' in FC.)
Jack of Tales Posted April 16, 2008 Author Posted April 16, 2008 Awesome I'm going to go ahead and make that then. As for continuity, I already thought of that just wanted to make sure I could have multiple times going at the same time . As a Marvel lover (Ugh? DC? You guys are crazy!!!) It drives me nuts when someone stomps all over continuity. That said, Monsters Under the Bed will occur exactly one week after the events of We Are Legion. No idea when that occured though. Dr. A, if you want, I will gladly go back through my background and provide dates. Little details please me :X
Dr Archeville Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 As a Marvel lover (Ugh? DC? You guys are crazy!!!) It drives me nuts when someone stomps all over continuity. Like Marvel has for the past few years? ;)
Jack of Tales Posted April 16, 2008 Author Posted April 16, 2008 Unfortunately *breaks down crying* And damn them for cancelling New X-Men *more crying* Stupid Guggenheim. At least C&C are still on the same books. They kick arse. Btw, if I want to up *awareness* of my IC/OOC thread where do I post that? Here, News..? IC OOC
Barnum Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 I think here is the right place, though making a news thread for your character and outlining this thread in your post is a good idea too. You may also want to PM some likely thread partners.
Jack of Tales Posted April 16, 2008 Author Posted April 16, 2008 oooh I have an entertaining idea for a News thread then *posted on a school bulletin board* "Anyone know how to fix the stupid pinball machine in Rita Kord basement lounge? If so can you? PLEASE?" etc.
