Having hardly been included in any Spamfics so far (to my knowledge; I'm behind on quite a few), I'd be happy just being a side character that gets killed off. Or a protagonist if you're short on them, but I don't wanna get greedy.

He assumed the former. He listened to Leon’s inquiry and silently debated for a moment whether or not to tell the whole story. In light of Leon’s recent descent into madness, he figured he hadn’t much to lose.
“Well ya see…” he spoke. “I used to run this game called Data Spell. You wouldn’t have heard of it. Or at least, I’d assume not. Because if you have, well then, I’d have a very different job in mind for you…” he trailed off. “But, we’ll just assume for now that you haven’t. Anyway, this game, Data Spell, I presented it as an MMO, a very special MMO. See, when players logged on to this game, they would physically enter it – sort of like what I did with you roleplayers here. The difference with Data Spell was that the players’ bodies would all remain in their own world, while their minds entered their in-game avatars. Also, Data Spell had an explicit warning on it: if you die in the game, you die in real life. Play at your own risk. Etc, etc. Thing is, no one took the warning seriously! People played on and killed each other and all assumed that if your in-game character died you’d either be banned or need to get a new avatar or something. Hardly anyone actually believed in that whole in-game death nonsense, leading many of the most powerful players to become real-life mass murderers! Hahahahaha!!” he laughed maniacally, taking a moment to enjoy the glory days, when his game was perfect and he reigned supreme…
“But um…” he continued once he stopped laughing. “Unfortunately, it didn’t last forever. Rather complicated story as to why it fell apart, but bottom line is, it did. I lost pretty much the entire in-game environment, not to mention all my players, even the ones that worked under me like you do now, but, after I found this place, I decided to try again, starting from scratch. As you can see, though, I already changed quite a few things from the old formula. Your whole self is here, not just your mind, I didn’t give a bullshit warning that no one would read anyway, and uh… biggest difference is that I really don’t have an in-game world put together yet. Almost everything here is left-over from the realm as I found it. You and the others are basically all beta testers.” He explained, returning to his swivel chair as he curled up with his laptop. “Oh! And, it just occurred to me…” he spoke, ready to rename the file previously known as “rpg004”. “I never did catch your name, kid.”

And there goes the final straw. So much for Leon's sanity D:.Seriously though, I don't think I've ever went this far with character torture. Sure, I've made butt monkeys out of characters before, but that was mostly for comedic value. This is going more into the dramatic direction. ...Should I feel bad?
Not at all. I understand the thrill of this sort of thing far too well to think badly of anyone else for doing it.
Phew! Sorry that took so long, everyone. @_@
“Right, well um…” Muse hummed in immediate response to Callum and Kole’s questions, all coming in too rapidly for him to answer one-at-a-time, with Kole in particular pressing far too heavily on the matter of his shapeshifting while his guesses were all so far off-base that he hardly knew how to approach them. Finally, though, once Kole and Callum had both stopped on the term ‘roleplayer’, he’d figured he’d found a good place to start.
“You see…” he cleared his throat. “This world that you’re in now, this is… basically Roleplayer Guild.” He spoke slowly, giving them time to absorb his words. “Each setting you encounter is a roleplay come to life, here. As for why you’re all here, well, that’s still a bit unclear. And as for my shapeshifting, well, that’s not so far off from a set of powers you two now have, as well! And I can teach you how to do the same in ti-“ he cut himself off as he became aware of Nautilus’ plight, wincing slightly as he finally noticed the roleplayer in pain behind him. “Oh, crap, uh…” he knelt down to help him, but immediately realized he had no idea what he was doing. Looking towards the rest of the group, he ran his fingers through his hair nervously. “Anyone here good at first-aid stuff?”

“Nah, I don’t like the idea of making Team Rin into a squad of guard dogs.” GM answered. “They make a better all-purpose army. You know, adding some extra viciousness wherever I need it.” He grinned. “As for security, I have my old pal Wai for that!” he chirped, before the aforementioned beast materialized in front of them. The creature was fairly large, but still had plenty of room to move in the spacious room. While its surroundings almost made it look small, the monster had to have been at least the size of a large van, with its head almost as tall as GM himself and its ears extending far above. Its rounded body materialized almost instantaneously, and GM beamed with pride as the shape of a gargantuan bunny rabbit materialized in front of them. The lack of a surprised reaction implied that, yes, this was indeed the ‘Wai’ he spoke of. With fur primarily white, save for a tan spot covering the left side of its face, the supposed guard animal seemed almost completely non-threatening.
But only for a second.
With a twitch of its nose, the beast’s attention snapped onto Leon. Its fur stood on end, claws unsheathed themselves, and its jaws opened to reveal massive, razor-sharp teeth at the same time that it let out a horrible screech. Without hesitation, Wai dashed towards the roleplayer, jaws opened wide as he prepared to tear the boy apart, but the creature was only held back by the one being in the room more powerful by itself. “Wai, stop!!” its creator demanded, swiftly putting himself between the two as he forcefully held the beast back with his own hands. “Calm, calm… This one’s on our side, now.” He told Wai as his palm met the creature’s forehead. After holding him for a few moments, the monster’s bloodthirsty demeanor soon faded, his expression replaced with a much more docile one. “Sorry about that.” GM spoke as he released his hold. “Wai here’s programmed to attack any ‘intruder’ – that is, really anyone unless I specifically tell him not to attack someone.” He explained. “So long as there’s no one around to attack, he goes back to being an adorable little bunny rabbit.” As if on cue, the oversized housepet hopped towards Leon, innocently sniffing the boy as rabbits do.
“But anyway!!” GM changed the subject. “You’re thinking much too inside the box – quite literally, I may add.” He gestured to their surroundings. “I’m quite content with my humble abode for now. It’s the rest of this realm that I’m not sure what to do with yet.” He grinned. “You see, my old game had a strong medieval fantasy feel, but this Guild place has inspired me; perhaps I could incorporate all sorts of genres? I’d have an even stronger player base that way…” he rambled, waiting for Leon’s input.

I've always been more a fan of the Spamfics - and right now it seems just about everyone is.
I love that video. :D

That must of been a surprise for them. :PSpeaking as a Straight Ally/LGBTQ supporter (as in to the point in my college's Pride Club it sadly got to the point where only I was making an effort to show), people who accept one expression of sexuality & gender identity but not another aren't actual LGBTQ supporters.
There's a difference between what's right and what's real.
Just because supporting one piece of LGBT but not another probably isn't the right thing to do, doesn't mean tons of people don't actually think that way and not consider it a big deal.
Griever's kind of right about this. It's a thing that's true, whether or not it's ideal.

You act like "ban hammer" isn't something people already say all the time.
