Hi everyone! I'm Blue, bringing in Sandry aka Sandrilene fa Toren from Tamora Pierce's Circle of Magic series - she was a noble with thread magic (which is much more impressive than it sounds, trust me), but here she's Sandra Torrens, a rich heiress attending a posh private girls school who plans to go on to study fashion at college.

I really looking forward to playing here, and I hope you guys will have fun with Sandry! And if you like, you can friend me at plurk on blueflowers. If anyone also wants to plan out any shared backstory stuffs too, let me know!

Hi! And yes, I am definitely happy to see all the book characters here (even if I don't necessarily know all of them). More games need more book characters, really XD

I don't mind, although depending on how he does it Sandry may either be secretly charmed despite her declarations that she doesn't like being charmed, or just tell him to stop it (because she doesn't like being charmed...) XD

they do! I sorta understand why more people don't app book characters, but its still a bummer.

Sure, that's fine! I don't expect everyone he flirts with to go along with it, and he'll stop if asked~

I think sometimes a lot of people just don't even think of it in the first place, in a way. Like I remember when I first started rping, I didn't even consider the fact that book characters could be played until someone else apped Teatime and I went 'holy crap we can play from Discworld?' That and it seems to be harder (although personally I find trying to canon review for a TV character much more involving than book characters. TV shows take up way more time.)

Very gentlemanly :P

Haha, yeah, I purposefully app from shorter canons to help with canon review. but thinking about it like that, canon reviewing a book character ISN'T that bad. The PB is pretty tricky sometimes, though.

He tries~

[threadspell]

Haha, that's probably the best plan, really. (Of course I end up being insane and picking ridiculously long things anyway - the second character I'm wanting to app here is from comics, which is worse than anything, oh god)

Oooh, and PBs can be a pain, yeah - especially if you have a character with any kinds of traits that are uncommon in media, like being overweight or a minority race. Weirdly though having played so many book characters myself I've come to actually like PB hunting!

[wordsgate]

Hah, if I ever play a book character then I know who to ask for PB help, then! (although i have so many characters I want to play that who knows if I'll ever get around to it...)

[threadspell]

Well I have indeed gone on massive PB hunts for friends in the past, so, you are always welcome to ask :P (hopefully one day you will!)
