Happy Father's Day everyone.
Terra Dolor: OOC Discussion & Think Tank
- Thread starter ZombieSplitter53
- Start date
If you have a daddy, spend some time with him. If not, pick up you nearest pet and by their daddy. If you're a girl... hey, you get your day. Three of them, if fact. This is our day... well, not mine, but you get what I mean.
So, it looks like the mission will be shooting for Winds-day. Good to hear. Hope you enjoyed that collab last night. And now, for no reason, this:
Topic of discussion: what were the last three books you read?
For me, I am currently reading Berserk by Kentaro Miura.
Before that, I read both The Rats in the Walls and Herbert West: Reanimator by H.P. Lovecraft.
And before that it was Inferno and Purgatorio by Dante Alighieri. Never got around to finishing the Divine Comedy though...

After a couple of years doing this, you'd think I'd know my own limitations.
So look guys, here's the deal. I joined Hunters of Terra Dolar because I wanted to have some fun with the cast before I had to go off to college - when my time to write would be massively decreased. I was hoping to get further with my characters than I did, but the end of the school year ran right into that vacation, and I ended up having a month's worth of disconnect with my characters. I've only written one collab recently, in which I struggled immensely to get back into Solomon's character. Continuing with my two knights would be immensely difficult at this stage, and I honestly have to consider the fact that I have less than two months left to even do that.
I wanted to wrap up their character development in a satisfying manner for myself and everyone else, but HoTD always-out of unfortunate necessity-comes last on the list of responsibilities I have. After kidding myself and grappling with the issue all week, I'm coming to the conclusion that I'd be better to end off my participation now. I'm too stressed-out to perform adequately. I have on my plate, so you understand: leadership of Wardens of Forseti, which requires time-consuming solowork and overall has to be finished (or at least needs to get damn near close) before summer's out, participation in a story with one of my best friends, and on the flipside perhaps being the architect of something for him to participate in, and finally college preparation and the demands of my parents relative to that.
I'm not completely strapped for time, but I don't feel that I have enough to reasonably do enough in this story. I'd just create unresolved ties to characters, like I fear my latest collab would do, and that makes me incumbent for more obligations that I just can't deal with right now. It's not an issue of being physically unable to participate in the story, but mentally it's going to be too much. Not anyone's fault here, God no, I just have imposed too much onto myself. HoTD is what has to give, regrettably. For now, since I already haven't participated in a month, just don't think too much about my characters. I honestly don't have an explanation for why they'll disappear right now.
Most of all, sorry about this, Zombie. I really wanted to develop that plot I told you about, but being able to brainstorm ideas and actually having the capacity to put them into reality is two different things. I'm still game to make guests appearances from time to time, but I can't develop a pair of characters in my current situation. Things might become less clustered in the future, but by that point time will have become the barrier.
Make no mistake, I'll still read and cheer you guys on. I'm interested to see how the story develops, which is why I tried to be a part of it for awhile in the first place. Speaking of:

In the past week or two I've been doing a lot of reading, it's been the only stress-free thing I have. Dived into a series that, to my knowledge, doesn't have a proper overall name. Foreigner and the three books after it, by C.J. Cherryh. They delve heavily into psychology and associated sociology, something I didn't think would be really cool in a sci-fi series until I actually gave them a try. I'm not sure I can recommend the series, as it is at least 16 books in length, but if you want to cordon off several hours of your week to just read in bulk, they're a great read.

Sorry to hear you leaving... hope things work out
Don't stress out about it too much. You always made it clear that you had limited time and this would be a temporary thing. I loved what we got from your characters, and they'll be there in the background, there if you want to pop in for a mission ina month or two month (or however long this lasts) just for fun, and mostly so I can still reference them. I'm not as upset you're leaving as much as I am overjoyed that you participated in the first place, and I would rather you focus your time on your own story and, above all else, your college plans.
Thanks for the characters. Thanks for the memories. Thanks for the inspirations. And thanks for all the advice and compliments I'm sure you'll continue to give us in the passing months.
And good luck with your college plans. It can be really stressful, but I can say something on it that might help a little; whoever said High School is the best years of your life should be dragged out into the street and shot. I was nothing but miserable and depressed in High school. College? My absolute best school years. And I swear on my life I am not just saying that to make anyone feel better. You find the right group to hang out with (for me it was the Sci-fi/Fantasy Club and Yu-Gi-Oh/MTG players) and find a comfortable means of handling school work (mine was simply using the syllabus to read up on everything up to the midterm and do any homework in one big cram week, then spend the rest of the time relaxing and having fun until needing to study for the test), you will enjoy College a billion times more then High school.

Yeah, the place I'm going runs a magazine which includes authorship work from students. I only got to read a snippet of it at the club fair, but the sci-fi work that I caught a glimpse of reminded me of the stuff we do here. My writing itch will be satisfied there, although it'll be a lot more solo work than ever before.

Now, doing the mandatory online course about sexuality in college? Kill me please.
Irritatingly, despite the lengths they go to in order to make it inclusive (includes LGBT relationships and all that), a lot of the questions fail to take into account the possibility that someone hasn't actually been in a relationship up until college. Reee, triggered.

I feel you, especially in regards to going in blind, but in the end, I found Human Sexuality to be one of the easier Sociology classes I took. And your smarter then me, so you'll be fine.

Hay don't worry about it dark, we always known that you were on borrowed time and were glad that you were with us for as long as you were. Anyway onto the musshy stuffy. As a lazy asshole who has no future at the moment, to someone that actually knows what he wants to do. Dark remember to take breaks and relax, don't over work yourself and stress yourself out from time to time just unplug from your work for just a short time man alright. And to motivate you a little bit take this with you.
Failure is necessary for improvement, don't be a frayed of failure being a frayed of failure is just being a frayed to try something new so have fun and collage buddy and glade to have colabed with you over the years.

"Rape is bad."

I learned all I need to about sex plugging in cords. Mmm, made that outlet my bitch.

You're confused. They made me take an online course related to campus stuff, not an in-session course.
Hmm... doesn't sound very fun.

Charter looked at her with a sad glance. "None of that was your fault. And him turning into a killer isn't either."

It's okay! :3 It's completely your choice. If you think it's the best for you, then nobody should be able to judge you for that. Try to be happy with what you end up doing!
I suppose that's how most gamers learn about sex. I mean, my outlets are so sensitive, I have no choice but to be rough with them to even get a good enough reaction. -_-
I seriously need to find a reason to be even more active of Gamigon. o.o
Sigh... at least I only did it once...
