The sticky post is here! If you've got any issues, questions, comments or concerns about how I play River wherever it is you may have seen her and whatever problem there is, this is the place to be. Suggestions for plots and CR are also very, very welcomed.



CORRECTIONS AS OF 11-28:
- shenme is the wrong phrase for "I'm sorry." It should be "duì bu qǐ" instead. I fail at Chinese, my apologies.
- there aren't three suns in the Firefly 'verse, there are five.

NOTICE:

IP logging was turned on mid-September, but is now (as of Oct. 8, 2009 at 1am) back off. Anon at will.

So, River is a psychic. This means she can read your mind. Pleeeaaaaase fill this out so I have a general idea on what is and is not kosher between her and your character(s).


oo1. Is it even possible for River to read your character's mind?

oo2. Okay, cool. Can I (the mun) use the powers of Wikipedia to get information about your character?

oo3. Anything that should absolutely never ever be brought up on pain of pain?

oo4. Anything that should absolutely be brought up because it would be awesome/hilarious/plotty goodness?

oo5. Etc? Anything else I need to know? (NEW OPTION!) Will thoughts in the narration be up for grabs?


THANK YOU <3

There has been a recent instance of possible plagiarism with a River Tam (journal agorramdoll) player at the game POLYchromatic (polychromatic). I have contacted the mods, and because that contact left me with the distinct feeling that I was not being listened to, I have decided to make this post so that people can see my evidence, the mods defense for the player, and decide for themselves how to feel about the situation. All mentioned email attachments are in this .zip file if you would like to download them.

I want to be clear so that there is no misunderstanding: I have nothing against the mods as people. I am sure they do a good job of modding their game in other areas, and are good people outside of this issue. I have nothing against the player in question, as I am sure she's a good person and good roleplayer outside of this incident. That does not mean that I will not point out this spot of what I feel to be bad behavior and poor judgment.

To clarify, I would have been more than content to let them handle this privately with the player and this post would not have been necessary had they not responded to my concerns the way they did. I trusted that they would take care of things, and their behavior and response broke that trust.

Should anyone have questions, please feel free to ask here. Anon commenting is on, but I have turned IP logging back on, and it will remain on until I feel comfortable with that level of anonymity again. All other contact information can be found in the userinfo for this journal.

Thank you for understanding my need to make this post, and I hope things settle and go back to normal as soon as is feasibly possible for all involved.

Here's a huge, far more practically informative write-up on the Academy for Taxon. Hopefully this will help more if anyone comes around to explore again.
