It's no secret that I play WoW. What I rarely admit, though, is that I play on an RP server, and I do it because I LIKE to RP. When surrounded by a frothing mob of "lolwut zomg suxxors bbqftw!" cretins, it's hard to remember that fact, but I do. I like to RP.
And even more than that, I like to write stories for my characters, and my friends' characters. As far as writing goes, writing a novel is like a marathon in Death Valley in August, and writing for WoW is a nice refreshing jog around the block in the springtime. So it's a vacation of sorts, a pick-me-up.
This week, an old RP friend looked me up to say "Hey, I missed our stories together." And I went back and read the old stuff, and I missed it too! There's something comforting about sliding into these old characters, people I've known for years, lives that have gone on (in theory) quite contentedly in the time since I quit playing them.
I'm not sure really what this has to do with anything, except to say that sometimes, writing old things is just as pleasurable as writing new ones.

I miss your character stories. You wrote some of the best ones. I miss our 'ye olde days' of VtM dorkiness, in the ancient prehistory before you got WoW and I got LARP. *snerk* I was thinking of Hendrix and Tasmin just Sunday for no real reason, and it made me think of Kylara...who would probably be dead now. LOL Now at days I game maybe once a month, and it's so different the characters I play now.
Your stories always were amazing, it's how I got hooked on to you as a writer, hon.
qbbftwzgmo!!!
Now that I got that out of my system. We still have to figure out that whole, uhm...other thing that we were talking about...what 3 years ago?
Maybe not. But we could.
