I had a question about load times.
If I go to the front page or the subscription page or say extensive threads like this, the load time is still going, even after a few minutes with everything seemingly loaded already. Is there any way to fix this since it probably isn't good for the site? Even if I "stop loading page" it keeps cycling anyway which I'd understand for hefty things like images but if most of the stuff is text...I dunno, am I worrying over nothing?

I'm actually a pretty good baker, so yeah, it would be cool if the cookies ended WWIII or something.
Ahem, but yeah, hope ya'll having a good or at least mediocre Saturday.
Oh no! Guess my chocolate chip cookies are no use against that~
Oh, I think I'm flattered. But hey, I gotta give it up to my awesome busy bee GMs as well. ^^;
If I can get one essay done today and half tomorrow, it might make things easier. But I do have an idea for my CS should that at least be done by tonight. Or else people will come to my house with pitchforks and torches...
So...just saw the movie last night and found it quite fun mostly because it wasn't as stuffy and dull as the Bond movies that have been coming out lately. I mean, Kingsman had some excellent gadgets and quirks and I enjoyed it quite a lot. So I'd like to do something with someone who has seen the movie or is about to see it (I don't want to wait 1-2 weeks for you to see it, if you plan on seeing it within the next 3, then we can still talk). I would prefer to do something with the canon characters because they were really fun and I feel like we could elongate the plot a bit and do some tweaking on our own. If we wanted to add OCs, I may be up for that, depending. However, all OCs will not interest me because I don't really trust that idea of just going off with new characters, generally the characters and new plot can't stand up on their own and I don't want to waste my time with something I'm not even that invested in. I'm looking for someone who is high casual to advanced so someone who can post 3 paragraphs or so and maybe double? I mean, at the least we'll need to balance minor characters together.
To sum up:
- Must see the film.
- Use canons or a mix of canons & OCs.
- Should post at least three paragraphs and should post once or twice a week.
- Would be cool if you could play several characters, major or minor.
- Must take place via thread.
- Can do a crossover with say Doctor Who, Harry Potter, Avengers etc.
Oh awesome, glad you did that. :3
Skype should be free for all~
Gonna pop back here in a bit after I get a one on one post up that's been on the back burner for a bit. In the mean time, I'll have some other tabs open so I can finish my CS and check out the goings-on here too. But hello all. -waves-
We're thinking one or the other but not both. 22 is still the minimum age and still shows she's not out of training yet...if you pick the clone thing, they can't do spells and you'd need to limit it to 10 every time she logs in. We're still in debate though and I should log off. I'll be talking with the GMs off-site though so any final words can come from them. ^^;

I am a full time college student, I also commute to said hell-hole so that also eats at my time. I help my parents cook/clean when I get home so most nights I'll be busy doing something. Be that as it may, I do have things on here to do and I have faith that I'll be able to get to things reasonably like an adult. I have access via tablet, phone and PC and when I can get a few hours (not just a few minutes) I do hope on since I'd rather hunker down and work, than have pressure to do something ultra fast before I have something else to do.
Favorite tv show or books:
I'd say Doctor Who is pretty spiffy but the last couple of seasons have been less than amazing. I do watch Game of Thrones, it's alright but again, getting a little stale after a while. I'm watching Breaking Bad too. I love Orphan Black and Top Gear, both amazing shows. And then there's the old school anime like The Slayers, Yu Yu Hakusho, Fruits Basket, Case Closed, dot hack, Ghost in the Shell etc. Books? Harry Potter is always cool, close to my heart but since I'm a writer, reading lately has taken less priority but when I have more time, I'll probably get back into it.
Why do you like to write/RP:
It's what I want to get paid for. I'm majoring in Creative Writing and I just love that with roleplaying, you're not alone, you get input and ideas and twists from other people who care about a story that once didn't exist, but now is.

Time with Tokyo Sector:
2 Years, joined in 2020.
Background:
Natazume Corey was born in Osaka, Japan 1996.
Her mother was Japanese and her father was British. Her parents met when her mother was in London for the holiday. They quickly fell in love as most people do in their early twenties and traveled the world together, both putting aside their budding careers for one another. Natazume's father, Andy, was part of a pretty well off family. They weren't obsessively wealthy but they were well off thanks to old money and hard work that had been passed from the generations. Her mother, Mimamoru Uede, was a passionate baker and enjoyed learned what she could in Europe on her many visits around the area. Mimamoru and Andy married after two years together and three years later, Mimamoru was pregnant with Natazume.
Natazume was raised in Osaka but the family would travel to London fairly often which is what prompted Natazume to elect to go to school there while her parents stayed in Osaka. Natazume was enrolled in a boarding school in Britain and found a love for reading and writing. She ended up winning a few school contests and came back to Japan when she was eighteen, having been away since she was twelve. During her education, her parents had visited her a few times a year but they wanted their only child to learn independence and to find her own interests on her own.
Upon her return home, she decided she wanted to go to college in order to pursue a career in editing and publication which was still growing, despite the fact that 90% of books, magazines, etc were all electronically published. Some people were aiming to keep the tangible book alive but Natazume knew times were changing and that fighting against it would be a losing battle so she focused her education on helping writers make the shift to electronic use. She made sure they knew it was better for the environment, easily translatable, and thus it could reach across the globe, something paper books struggled to do without dinging someone's pocketbook. Natazume graduated in Literary Electronics with a minor in Software Self-Editing which was a minor very few colleges could offer since most of the classes were being recently added to universities.
In 2016, when she was 20 and halfway through her aforementioned education, she was tapped to become a Corrector due to her passion for education and acceptance of the changes going on around in her field of writing and publication. The Gvn felt her ease of melting modern changes with the future's budding technology, that she would be capable of using that same insight to help combat the growing online unrest. Natazume began training as a Corrector with the Osaka Sector and quickly grew to find that physically expressing herself was just as thrilling as creating stories with letters and words. As she graduated school at age 23, she had also come into her own as a Corrector.
Since she was showing to be capable of handling a life on her own, her parents moved back to London, leaving their daughter in Osaka to make a life of her own. Natazume was tremendously grateful for their support and that they never pushed her in one way or the other, and that they accepted her will to push herself without outside help. At the age of 24, after spending four years with Osaka and the others, she was transferred to Kyoto due to their lack of candidates. Natazume was used to help train people and polish them up. After shaping up Kyoto's Correctors for six months, she was then tasked to join her old friends in Tokyo in 2020.
Throughout Natazume's life as a Corrector, she had yet to upgrade. When she started off, she was someone who decided to use spells from afar under the then alias, Air. Her magic of course, was entirely wind and air based but after she stock piled enough upgrades and found herself ready to go to Tokyo, she gave herself a new transformation as a knight who wielded a shield and shiny black spear under her name name, Crystal. Her stockpile of upgrades was been used up and she was spending any extra time when she wasn't working part time as a consultant to writers and publishers, she was training to get a grasp her on her new skills as a knight.
Crystal has been with the Tokyo Sector for about two years and as one of the oldest and most seasoned Correctors, has been again tasked to ensure the group are capable and ready to be the shining example to the rest of the world's Correctors. Every holiday, she gets a package filled with sweets from her mother overseas. Though she does miss her parents, she knows if she moved to London and joined their secret group of Correctors, it would be much harder to keep things a secret from those she cares for.

If you did want to add another, I'd say add another low level skill?
And there may be collabs for certain things but it would depend on the scene and who you're with and want to gloss over. I've only done 1-2 myself but that's because I like reactions right then and there, rather than skipping through too much that might filler. If someone can do a good collab post though, go for it.
