I was thinking there could be some kind of Halloween event for the town too, since I know a lot of teenagers in town wouldn't be able to attend the party, but they should still do something fun.

Like a small autumn candy festival lol I should think that we wouldn't technically need to have those characters in two places since everyone will be doing other things.
What do you mean?
The second one.
When we have events, we allow the characters in multiple places (i.e. their regular RP & at the event place) but for that festival, we probably wouldn't need to since those characters aren't used much outside of work and not many people will be visiting stores during that time.
Oh okay.
Yeah lol Does that mean we can't do it?
I just thought it'd be cute.
I think I'm getting confused here >.< lol>.< Dude, I have no idea lol
I think we're both getting confused lol
We can do the festival; characters going to that will only be allowed in two places at once if necessary
Does that clear it up maybe?
Ohhhhh yeah it does
I want to dye my hair red.
no lol. Your hair is pretty!!
My aunt used to dye her hair so much when I was a kid I had no idea what her real hair color was for the longest time haha
My hair is boring! Especially when there's six other copies of the exact same shade in this house >.<
You think brown isn't? lol. It is when EVERYONE around me has it XD
I want to dye my hair too. Not because I think it looks boring but because...why not?!
I used to have my hair dyed pink! I remember after it was done, I wore it up in my hoodie when I went to school, and when class started I'd pull my hoodie off and all of my pink hair would fall loose and the reactions were amazing lol ((Back when my hair fell to my knees))
I also want my hair to be really long :p
I hate guys who have super long hair. Shoulder-length is long enough, I think. Otherwise it just looks silly.
Our dog has the same color hair as I do! That's just pathetic!I definitely need a change haha

It is not! NOt that long asnyways :p
Today is October 8th, which means it is my two year anniversary for roleplaying on Goodreads!! To commemorate this occasion, I've decided to write a summary/thank you for my time here. I really should have started writing it back when I got the idea, but I'm going to do it now off the top of my head and hope I don't forget anything/anyone. I was seventeen years old on the day when I got the invitation from Caprice to join Universes Unite. I'd never been in any roleplay groups or active on GR at all. Before that, I'd just come on and take quizzes about books I'd read. That was actually how Caprice and I met. Since I hadn't joined many groups or had any friends at the time, I clicked the link in my email to check out the group and discovered that I had actually joined! It was purely an accident, and yet I stayed in it, figuring I'd check it out for real when I had the time.
Two days later, I checked my email again and discovered my inbox having exploded with emails from posts on the threads in that group. Intrigued as I was, I went to check it out. Needless to say, I quickly figured out how to turn off the email notifications. The concept of the group seemed really interesting, but I was absolutely clueless. Luckily I asked a question, because that was where I first met Hunter....who I regrettably believed was a girl for goodness knows what reason.
Within a day, I'd made three characters for that group (all garbage, might I add): L, Gray, and my version of Professor Stein. Just looking back on them now shows me how much better I've become, but at the time, I'd been perfectly happy with how they turned out. I can't say I remember who my first official RP was with, but I remember everyone who was in that group at the time. Most of them are still active on GR today.
Since that day, I've gone through phases of the sorts of groups I joined. For a long time, I was only in that one. Then I joined a few that my friend Sadie had made, which was when I first learned how quickly and dramatically groups can fail. I joined a Percy Jackson group, where I learned what true chaos can ensue within a simple, non-detailed RP. It's also where I met one of the sweetest girls I've ever known.
I didn't like Kaitlyn at first, honestly. I felt some serious jealousy because she literally invaded my RPs. (Later, I discovered that she was totally clueless to that, and I'd actually been betrayed by the other person whom I'd rather not remember at all). Then she invited me to a Selection group that I was really hesitant in joining....but boy am I glad I did. That group is no longer active, and all the former members are gone, save a few, but it still gives me the best roleplay memories I have. I can still go back and look at most of those roleplays, but it will usually make me tear up. Mostly because Kaitlyn has since deleted her account. I understood why - she felt guilty because her parents didn't actually want her on any social media at all, and I can understand because she was only fourteen(15 now) - but I can't help wishing I'll still see a message from her in my inbox.
From that Selection group, I learned how to seriously develop a character and their backstory just from interacting with different people. Oh, and I learned how to be a Mod who doesn't take crap from idiots ^-^
I've also been a part of the Mirrorwood groups, and they helped develop my RP skills immensely! The group is very inactive now, and I don't go around there as much as I used to (for other reasons) but it still means a lot to me. They inspired me to write longer posts with their patience, and Chess's ridiculously detailed posts, and pushed me to write longer, more detailed characters when we had a competition to see who could make the longest character (Night's was 8 posts, but I call foul lol). Not to mention that they pulled me further away from making characters in-fandom that I'm just going to hate later because I get bored.
I've also been a part of a lot of 1x1 RPs that helped me figure out what I do and don't like in a roleplay, along with who I do and don't like to RP with. It's allowed me to experiment with different styles and genres, which has helped me broaden my horizons and stuff. And I met Evelin, so big plus! Still haven't been able to find someone who will roleplay original super heroes/villains yet though. Disappointing haha
From the Kingdom RP group, I learned how to make the most of few characters, and that I really like to write out a good sword fight. Not to mention that I met some very good friends: Ahana, Elizabeth, Lacey, Gabby, Lexie, etc.
I am also in the Brides group, and I'm pretty sure I'm still learning from there about how to deal with...difficult things. But there I met Nightingale and Eponine, and it's how Ahana and I started to get close! Plus, it's where I really started to like the characters I made when I made them, and really explore some more mature and dark backstories.
In these past two years, it hasn't all been smooth sailing, and sometimes I've honestly considered quitting because I didn't think I made a big impression on anything or anyone, and because a LOT of people make me mad (sometimes, just because they are around. And I'm not naming names >.< even though I'm pretty sure none of them frequent this journal). But these past couple of months, I've made really good friends who I'm certain actually care about me, I've been told by a few people that I've been a role model or inspiration (and also that I'm really intimidating right off the bat, but that's nothing new. Of course, I'm still wondering how?? Lol). I think my birthday on Friday was really proof of all that and proved to myself that I do love being on GR and that the roleplay community is some of the best people.
Joining RPing for the first time may have been an accident, but I'm really glad I clicked on that email link, even for all the stress I've had since that day. And I'm really happy to report that my first roleplay group is still running strong, with me as a Mod too! Even though a lot has changed since that first day, and a lot of the original members are gone or don't RP much, I'm glad to also say that some of my closest friends are there now and luckily aren't afraid to get on my case to finish my freaking characters.
So um.....this feels like an awkward end, and I'm definitely missing a lot of people in my recap, but mushy flashback time over because I'm about to max out the text box, I'm pretty sure lol ^-^
Awwww that's really sweet.
Now lets see if I can make a small edit without it screaming at me lol
That's a sweet story! I'm glad you accidentally clicked on that link too,or I'd have never gotten to meet you! ^^
Now I feel bad because I've only been RPing on this site for a year and almost all of my old groups are dead and I barely met anybody.
UU is the only one of mine still alive, honestly. Since the beginning, I mean.
That happened to me too. A Warriors Cats forum RP and an Avatar forum RP. I never even RP'd in the AVatar one and hardly did in the Warriors one.
Technically it's a new group though because the old one got deleted.
But I actually RPed in my other ones, and they had great plots! I'm actually really mad they died out!
Ugh I hate this person I'm RPing with right now and they have no idea who you are so I can say that all I want in here lol
This chick named Rose. I have no idea why I don't like RPing with her though lol. I guess I'm not really a fan of her plot, but she kept insisting we do it with each other and kept coming up with different things for me to do instead, and I have no idea why she also wants me to RP with her since she's doing the same exact plot with three other people.
is it r or t? lol
IT'S THE SAME ROSE SERA AND I SPEAK OF lol.
it's personal
