Uh, hi. I'm new to this community and all, I just signed up because of how awesome this rp sounded, but I don't know if you're cool with an RG newb joining or not....I know how to RP and all, I just haven't done it on this site before. I am a massive Disney fan, and I'm all for Disney faeries getting some more love, just not sure if you're still accepting any players? I wouldn't want to add one too many to a small party of faeries, so if you've got enough players, I totally understand.

Oh what!? Two more people interested? Why, that'd bring us up to five PC's which was my original goal!!

I'd actually started planning yesterday how I was going to fill in the two other spots with my own characters but if you guys want in, that's great!

CallaLily! Welcome back, maybe I should have messaged you, I guess I just assumed you lost interest but yes yes, I can re-arrange my plans! Please, go ahead and apply!

As for you, Sparx, welcome to the guild! I'm very flattered that you'd join just for my little Rp and it's great that you're a Disney fan! We seem to have a surprising lack of those in the Rp somehow.
I have no problem that you're new to the guild and I will be happy to help you along. Just start out by posting a reply to Deeta (See the 'Joining the Fun' section if you don't know what I'm on about =P) and we'll see how it goes from there!

Aww Rex, that's harsh! But no problem, I want this Rp to be steadily flowing but nobody should feel pressured to post when they don't have the time.
Thanks a lot for the heads up, though! Can't wait to see your IC post, this is so exciting!

Hahaha it happens to all of us, Calla. Or do you prefer Lily? I know your pain though :P

Anyway I'll be writing a post now! Btw DancePants if you're interested, I can make banners for our characters to put at the top of our posts. I know you said you preferred to keep things writing-focused, but I thought I'd make the offer anyway. I find they help bring the IC to life and break up the walls of text between players, and gives me a clearer picture of who I'm reading about. I always offer to do them in every RP I join, but it's down to you guys if you want them of course haha. (I'd need pictures if you guys decide you like them.) :)



EDIT: Hope it's all right I took some liberties with having Crispin be familiar with Terrance as well, though I can certainly edit that out if it's too buddy-buddy for how close you want the fairies to be with one another. :)

Btw I finally watched Frozen at work yesterday, haha! All I need to do is watch Brave now and I'll be all caught up with Disney movies again. I've just been procrastinating with Merida since I heard so many negative things about her movie... ~___~

First of all, I have always wanted a banner and yet have no idea how to make one...second...I don't mind either.

And suddenly, there was a post! :O

Haha, good job Bella! Short and sweet and I liked the incorporation of certain things like the heaviness of wet wings and Ingrid drying herself on a leaf, without actually breaking it off. Just seemed like you were properly thinking about what a fairy would do ;P

Lily, you passed out? That doesn't sound overly good for your health. I've never understood how people can fall asleep while engaged in something. If I'm not in my jammies in a bed then I will stay awake...forever!
Haha but it's fine, I really want to foster a relaxed environment and pace in the Rp so as long as we're all chugging along don't feel rushed.

You know, my bias against using pictures in character biographies is essentially linked to the fact that I personally don't like to use them and resentment caused by the fact that, at least over on my old Rp site of Gaia, it has become commonplace and expected, as has a huge focus on coding posts to look pretty with fonts and graphics and song lyrics and...ugh. It just irks me that it has replaced a written description and I hate using them myself because I'd rather have full control over my character's appearance, and obviously I'm never going to find the exact right picture.

Sooo, thanks very much for the offer but I'm going to have to think on it. I had kind of thought that it might be nice to have graphics for the locations, to put us in the mind of the aesthetic for where we are,
And because it looks like I might be primarily playing cannon characters anyway, that eliminates the problem of me not being able to find an appropriate picture.

Hmmm, hold off for now and I'll let you know. Thanks again for the offer.

EDIT: Wait wait, TWO posts!! Rex's wasn't there when I started writing that message!
Ohhhh this is so exciting!

Apparently Crispin has no knowledge of body space 'Here, let me use my fire powers to warm you up, what? We haven't met?' haha. Interesting fellow.

Also, minor note. Terence's name is definitely spelled 'Terence'. Not 'Terrance'.

Anyways, I don't know what's going on with Sparx up there but Lily still needs to apply and we're still sorting out the details of Raptor's appearance so I'll wait for those two to get things together and post before I respond, don't wanna move along without them.

I really like how both Ingrid and Crispin just decide to rally to Terence when he's feeling down, really evokes the strong sense of community Pixie Hollow seems to have, I'd hoped for that. =)

Oh no, I absolutely hate when RPs have enormous and convoluted graphics, different color schemes, and all that nonsense that comes with posting haha. I just like seeing some color in RPs, but not to the extent I've seen on Gaia. For that reason I've never RPed there anyway haha. I'm the same way too @ never finding the exact picture. I dislike having to use representations someone else crafted for some other character because I'm not talented enough to bring my thoughts properly to paper. (I'll always add footnotes like, oh the bangs are actually longer than this, and she's chubbier than in the pic but of course you'll never find the right weight, blah blah blah.) Though the gm in this other RP I've been in for about 1.5 years now has spoiled me with his style of banners (a tiny square cast shot with the character's name/rank/class beside it, as the RP's jrpg-based), so I've gotten used to seeing a thin picture at the top of posts. xD Always feels a little bland without colors now, but it's liveable hahaha!

Again, totally understandable if you want to completely shy away from that though haha. :) The offer'll stay an open one hehe!

I'll definitely keep it in mind because a simple little graphic like the examples you posted does seem very nice. And yes! I've definitely wished for amazing artist powers more than once for helping me bring a character to life.

I started roleplaying on Gaia in like 2005 where it was, in my opinion, a much better place to be than it is now. I only ever use it for finding onexone roleplays these days, I find the onexone people there to generally suit me better than RPGuild but the opposite is true for groups.
I hadn't been in a group Rp for literally years before seeking out this place and now I'm running one!

Also, I edited my post above yours in case you missed it =P

NO! No pictures =P
Describe, describe, descriiiiibe!

And that's great that you're almost done, I still might hold off a little though, just to get a bearing on how many PC's we actually end up having so I can work out whether or not we need my OC/s

Ahh, I did miss your edit! Thanks for pointing it out. XD My bad with misspelling Terence's name. To be honest I always misspell it, even if he's one of my favorite fairies. If you looked at my post close enough before I edited it, I spelled it differently all three times. orz orz orz

And yeah, Crispin's gets really buddy-buddy with people easily. He's the type that thinks everyone loves him, unless it's a mutual dislike. A chick could boot him in the face and send him flying straight into a puddle, and he'll just think to himself, "Oh yeah. She loves me." XD At any rate, I'm relieved you approve hahaha. :)

Oh my! Musa is lovely, Lily! I really like the fact that she is challenging the conventions of Pixie Hollow society, that's really going to bring up some interesting points and deconstruct the seemingly idealistic setting they live in. I had hoped to delve into issues like that in the Rp but I chose not to mention it lest people think I was going for an overtly darker/more mature setting, I like the balance you've put into your post, just be careful not to go overboard with it, though, it's still supposed to be a generally optimistic setting.

I also think you did a great job describing your fairy's appearance, good job on that front.

You are hearby accepted into the Rp, please enjoy your stay and post at your leisure ^_^

Also, in contradiction of what I said earlier, given that I am not usually too active over weekends (tomorrow is Saturday for me but since the Rp is just finding its feet, I may pop in once or twice) I may try and get a post up tonight. That way everyone will have something to reply to while I'm gone and it'd make more sense if more people joined in with Terence's task as it went along anyway, rather than just piling in at the start.

And yes, Crispin is a fire talent. I did say in the intro stuff that people can run wild with their talents, given the ludicrous amount of specialised talents that appear across the movies, books and games.

Thanks for fixing the 'Terence' thing, Rex. I just read them all as 'Terrance' but I don't think one was spelled 'Terence' =P I looked it up just to be sure since it really irks me when people use contradicting spellings of stuff, it didn't matter who was right as long as we were all on the same page.

Haha yes, that is exactly the kind of vibe Crispin gave me. He sounds interesting and it will certainly be interesting to see the different reactions to his forwardness, I can't imagine them all being positive..

Since we've almost done a complete round of posts, I thought I'd mention a post won't be up from me until either Saturday night or Sunday. Since we've got two aready with Terence I may have Iona doing something else, for the moment at least.
