Sock puppet means it's someone's fake journal. So, like, my real LJ is amhran_comhrac, same as my ffnet name. But if I made a sock puppet just for filling kmeme prompts it might be called "magesmut" or something like that.
Sock puppet journals are just used so people who do a lot of kmeme fills, probably set in the same 'universe', can keep everything collected.

Actually, in general, when someone says "sock puppet" online they mean a normal poster's secondary account used because they don't want whatever they're doing with it tied to their normal online identity.  LIke someone might make a sock puppet account to troll a forum, or to ask a question on an advice site they're embarrassed to have tied to their normal username.  That sort of thing.

Don't give me ideas.

----------------------------------

On a more serious note, are there any stories that deal with the visions/nightmares that Grey Wardens have during their Joining and at night? (apparently every other Wednesday, by the frequency in DAO)

I'm wondering just how original my "original" ideas for my current chapter of LoT are...

Like a story that uses that as a theme, or just stories that have scenes involving Grey Warden nightmares? I have a post-Ostagar oneshot that details a taint/Grey Warden nightmare, but I haven't really came across many stories that mention them that often. Of course, I haven't read an extensive amount of fanfic.

[LupusYondergirl]

I've had a couple scenes where characters mention their nightmares and in my first story I wrote a short dream-sequence for Maggie where she had a nightmare about the Calling, and she and Alistair both had nighmares about the Architect and his talking darkspawn. Most of the characters who mention dreams in my stories will just mention seeing them digging for the Old Gods or something similar.



But yeah, it's not a major feature or anything. Usually just mentioned after a joining or the like. (Since I'm postgame and have cast-of-thousands syndrome.)

Thanks so much for illuminating this ancient...

Heh, so far I've only detailed my warden's Joining nightmare here. But I've been told I had a weird way of seeing it.

[Tellervo]

And some of us generate sock puppets because we don't want our RL friends/coworkers/family to know we write video game porn, but don't really care if fandom people know who we are. Also, have so many stories you can't keep track of them in your own head anymore... Yeah. I don't know how other people manage it.

Kara's are mentioned a few times so far in my fic, and they will continue to be mentioned and be important as she gets them bad.  I imagine that since she not only became a Warden during the Blight (Alistair says those Wardens often are more sensitive to the nightmares) but she was also tainted before hand that she is exquisitely sensitive to the taint and the nightmares that go with it.  The poor thing rarely sleeps well for the rest of her shortened life because of them.

[Maria13]

Note to self: Must do GW nightmares at some point...



Thanks Jackkel.

Go to thenew prompt thread.
Just under the "post" part (where it lists all the pages), select "post a new comment."
If you're logged in hit "more options" under the post box, and select the anon option.

Type out your request, hit post, and it WILL tell you there's an error.  That's normal.  A box with a catchpa will be there now.  Do that, hit post again, and you're good.

But, since it's anon, you won't get notified if/when someone replies, so you'll just need to keep checking.

(oh, and I am BEYOND FLATTERED by my mystery marathon reader, who started up bright and early this morning.  I woke to thirty more reviews.  Of course, I don't have class on Wednesdays, and was up until 4 am reading for class, so I slept pretty late.)

If you have a paid LJ account you can "subscribe" to the individual thread, but you can't as a free account I don't think. Just putting that out there in case anyone has one as such.

And marathon readers/reviewers are amazing. *_*

I have like three billion accounts from all the LJ RP I used to do, as well as log journals for MUSHes and other things. Switching between them is even easier than just logging into my real one without it.

If that's how I wanna keep things organized, that's how I wanna keep things organized.

...Including my kmeme fill series of over 40k words, "Silver and Scarlet".

Guh. Tried LJ for a 1930s pulp adventure RPG. Never again; the nesting was awful. BBS for me!

ETA: LJ's great for journaling and folks seem to make it work as an archive, if they maintain an index page.  No LJ hate.  Just... not so great for RPGs, IMO.

Yeah, it depends completely on the format used. If the comm is the log journal for RP-over-AIM, etc. Though RP-over-AIM only works for two-person scenes, so we had to use comments for group scenes. Sometimes we used 'em for two-person scenes as well.

Comment-RP the way we get around it is to make each reply a reply to the actual post. It's all in one order anyway, so there's no need to create comment chains. Here's a good example, one of my Astronema scenes.

But different games take different styles. :3

(( Edit: ...That was a very lulzy non-verbose scene, but most of my other scenes had detailed, graphic violence and such, or built off years of history and wouldn't make any sense at all, so I didn't want to link. Sometimes we needed multiple comments for one pose!

Ah, I miss that game. I've tried other LJ-based games and they just didn't stack up to MVH back in its heyday. It was my first LJ-based game after a long history of message board style, chatroom style, and a little dabbling in MUSH... ))

Nope, I want to FINISH at least one for NaNoWriMo.

National Novel Writing Month. The goal is to write 50,000 words in the month of November.

I've tried with an original fic and failed grandly. Now I know that I wrote more than 50,000 words the first month that I was writing Undertow, so I can do it, and I've seriously considered starting my next story in November. I would need to wrap up Undertow first, though, and I don't see that happening.

Hm, do you think it counts if you write that as part of something ongoing? I'm almost to 40k now and not even halfway through.

It's more of a personal accomplishment, to be honest. There's no real accountibillity. The idea is to be able to  say "Hey, I wrote a novel!" or, in some cases. "I've written a novel's length worth of words that are loosely tied together!' There are no rules saying that upi can't continue something you've already started or start something you know you won't be able to finish.

There's a fun community aspect to it, too. I met a ton of people the year I tried to do it and my ex-roommate still participates in their events even when she's not doing NaNoWriMo, being as she writes all year round and just likes the company and discussion.

[LupusYondergirl]

details here

Technically you're supposed to start and finish a new work of at least 50K words entirely within the month.

[SurelyForth]

Yes, the do discourage continuation of already established works and you can't include anything you wrote before November 1 in the official word count.



Dammit. I hate going to their website this time of year because it always sucks me in.
