I feel like the fun of spamfics is seeing what people come up with both setting/plot-wise and also for the posters in spam. When they ask for reader input, especially at the preliminary stage it kind of kills any interest for me.If it's going to be interactive, be clear on that.

I agree. I like the surprise of seeing how I'm represented - thus why I didn't suggest anything for my character specifically.

Tries to find pictures for female characters

I know, I destined to be a huge nerd for life. :(Maybe. I’m starting to think I should just write up a character description, even though I prefer pictures. Like, I’m trying to find someone for a Fallout RP. In the wasteland you’re going to look dirty and roughed up from years of wear and tear, and I can’t seem to find anything like that. I’m not exactly sure what to add in the search conditions either.

I see how you can't simply add "dirty" to your search terms to get what you want.

Add "average" to your search terms, maybe?

Salaryman Man

Hah, that kind of reminds me of this;



Amusingly enough, "Salaryman Man" was the second search result when I looked up the above video - so I guess I'm not the only one who saw the similarity. XD Or maybe they're made by the same people... honestly, I wouldn't be surprised.

If I were to do a spamfic...

Giant robots (which are usually piloted by people) fight other giant robots. Also these giant robots are sometimes capable of transforming, particularly by combining themselves together to make even bigger robots.

Edit: Also, I'm cool with being included in your fic. Feel free to portray me however you see fit.

To be completely honest, I really don't feel like that.

I never accused you of being as awkward as 15-year-old me.

Canadian High School sounds nice. They did nothing like that here. It was more or less teachers trying to fill a quota so they didn't get fired. And the one's that did care about what they taught always got harassed by complaining students. They’d always say that the work was too much when it really wasn’t. Hell, when I gave a shit I was able to get most of it done in class. Now that I think about it, I had some really shitty kids in my classes.

I don't think it's a Canadian school thing. I'm American, but I still totally agree with Dervish about the "training wheels for life" thing. Sure, high school was shitty, but, life is shitty. High school teaches you how to accept responsibility and get work done like an adult, all while forcing you to work with superiors and peers that you hate, thus teaching you to how to handle these things - just like you'll have to in the real world.

I really wish that sort of thing was brought to more people's attention. All through high school, I heard people constantly complaining about how the work was "too much" (when really it wasn't and they'd face much bigger work loads in their futures), that the content they were learning "wouldn't even help them in the real world" (when that's not the point; learning how to handle the work is the point), and just how much their teachers sucked (when they'd undoubtedly have to deal with bosses they don't like in the future, and it's probably best they just learn how to get along with or at the very least tolerate those above them).

I saw my view on all this as a sort of success formula that I only wished it was easier to share. While I diligently worked along on things - keeping my grades high, preparing myself for what college will be like, and doing it all while remaining fairly positive about it all - so many students around me just seemed to spend their time developing bad habits and complaining about teachers' attempts to give them the skills they'd need to do well in college or at the very least, dealing with real people as adults.

It's kind of sad, really.

Beyond the Boundaries RP

My CS is currently a work-in-progress. I'm moving into my college dorm this Friday, though, which means if I don't manage to get it done tonight, then it might take me a little while to finish it. These next few days will be hectic.

Hm... Should I start the first challenge tomorrow or wait a few more days to let the newcomers adapt?

I say start soon. Everything has felt a little bit directionless as of late, and I know I for one haven't been able to think of anything to post about these past few days because of it.
