Fantasy [They Told Me They Were Fairy Tales] Meta Thread

[sadladsalad]

Otherwise known as the OOC thread, so it would be easier to quote back and forth. c;

First post is reserved for a to do list for all our plot bunnies.

 

[sadladsalad]

Hey Nali, the main thread hasn’t been posted yet, but let me know if you want to start or if you want me to start. I’m good for either!

 

[Nali]

Seeing as I believe your character will be our main protagonist, it would be wonderful if you could start. I'd love to get a feel for the shop he inherited!

 

[sadladsalad]

Ok will do!

 

[sadladsalad]

Btw, I don't think you'll see his shop anytime soon lmao.

 

[Nali]

Oh! That’s right. We decided to start in the forest first, yes?

 

[sadladsalad]

yup! Basically one wander away from the woods. Reminds me that I should have him directionally challenge too lmao.
I'll start the main thread now.

 

[Nali]

Wonderful! I cannot wait!

 

[sadladsalad]

Alright first post up (for real this time lmao).

 

[Nali]

Found it—and love it!! I’m hellaciously new to BBCode so I’ll try to make my post all pretty but I can’t promise anything :3 I’m very shiny new to this stuff! I enjoy the way you write, too!

 

[sadladsalad]

To be honest, adding BBCode is a personal taste kind of thing. I've just had former knowledge with html, css, along with a bunch of resources down by the BBCode center so it's pretty fun. If your not into it, that's totally ok too! It's only an option afterall.

And thank you! Oswald's bio is pretty funky right now because I don't have a good placement of his character, so it's pretty much subject to change. (In fact, I'm probably gonna change how he obtained his Shop. It would be more acceptable if it was an inheritance from his parents instead). If you spot anything wrong like grammar mistakes, plot holes, or anything else weird, please tell me where and why! And I don't mean it for the fluff, I seriously meant it so I can at least try to improve it.

 

[Nali]

Oh, gladly! I hope you'll do the same for me? I'll start trying to write a profile and such. I found your links---and I am excited to learn more about Oswald!

If there's anything I need to change or something you dislike, please let me know

 

[sadladsalad]

Oh my god wait is she tiny? Like fairy tiny or is she human sized or she can change her shape at will???

 

[Nali]

I figured tiny when dealing with humans and stuff (hence the folklore about faeries being small!) as to not give themselves away-- but in reality they're human sized c:

Or would you prefer the lore a different way? I'm super malleable! (Looks like we forgot to flesh something out! Here's our chance to!)

 

[sadladsalad]

Omg that’s fine! I just wanted to figure out what’s up w faeries first before I wrote anything!

 

[Nali]

Yeah for sure! I hope you had a lovely day! It's so hot here today. D:

 

[sadladsalad]

Lmao i live in New England, so it was super hot today, but I was mostly inside today, thankfully.

anyway hello and good morning! I forgot to ask you what your length preference was, cause as you saw before, I'm fully capable of writing essays, but just wondering if your comfortable with the amount of writing you're doing. Sometimes people like to write concisely and sometimes people like to write-write.

 

[Nali]

Oh! I’m fine with this length! I can even write more at times. I think post length is situational, truthfully. Sometimes there will be more, sometimes less. It’s all reliant on what the story requires!

And hello and good morning to you! I’m in the US, eastern time zone, so it’s about 2 a.m. for me at present. No work today, so I’ll be around!

I am enjoying the roleplay very much so far. Oswald is well written and I cannot wait to learn more about him! I hope he and Lily have a wonderful friendship. For some reason I feel they both could use a friend—but it’s too soon to really tell!

 

[sadladsalad]

Omg me too, I live in the New England area, so it was pretty hot today too, although I don't know what it's like for states below NY/NJ.
fucked up sleep schedule club.

ANd omg thank u, Oswald's a cutie lmao. And thanks for waiting for my reply, I think I skipped a day when I replied-- but i swear I really am excited rping with u and learn more about Lily (and honestly Oswald too).

I think I asked this question before, but do you still want to know a little bit about bbcode?

 

[Nali]

I would love to learn more about BBCode! I love the way your post is structured and I’d like to make something to compliment it. I may end up passing out here in a moment but I’ll be up in a few hours (my sleep schedule is off so I’m trying to fix it! I should be up in about three hours if I do succumb to the sleepies :3 )

 

[Nali]

Hope you're doing well, friend!

 

[sadladsalad]

thanks for the patience! sorry i was out all week cause i had a deadline due and had to put down all my extracurricular stuff to catch up! Expect a reply soon in like an hour or two~

 

[Nali]

Hey for sure! Life is life, y'know? c:

 

[sadladsalad]

alright just posted! sorry for not telling you before hand but I'll def try being more consistent this week lmao

 

[Nali]

Hey, no worries! I’m just glad you’re okay. I’m glad to hear it was a deadline and not illness or tragedy
