close cr abandoning plotting with you for new shinies and cliquey casts

looking at you, every SPN/Doctor Who/Sherlock cast

downright fed up with this happening but I draw the line when it happens to my friends too

if you don't want to fucking tag with us, don't set up plots and then never follow through. then if you ever say anything about it, you're labeled as a shitty human being. the next time I get IMd about insular casts being circklejerking fuckwads, someone is getting my foot up their ass.

clarification: if someone tries to resolve it privately like a fucking adult and then they get dogpiled for being butthurt or told their concerns aren't legit

hey fuckasses, this is the reason people don't go out of their way to just be upfront about problems.

Even being in the Who cast but being from a different Doctor's era than the clique lands you in this situation. Or maybe I'm just unlucky and got the Doctor player who doesn't care about previous companions.

this has happened to me too. no matter what doctor I played and yeah I have actually roleplayed in the first two fandoms I listed, no one seemed to be comfortable with tagging the doctor if he was from a different regen than they were. 4, 8, 9-11 man

seems to happen a lot to the really good, active players after a while because they either can't hold onto a doctor or the doctor can't hold onto companions/his friends. I don't roleplay in the dw fandom anymore because I was tired of how cliquey it was and how everyone was such a flake

same with SPN too but I'd take the DW over the SPN fandom any fucking day tbh

it isn't only those fandoms tho either. I hate seeing casts merge with the Superwholock conglomerate and if you don't know the right person good fucking luck getting CR with that group

I'm lucky in a sense since I'm really interested in what the companions do after the Doctor leaves. So I tend to take them from a canonpoint when they manage just fine without him. But it would still be nice for the Doctor's player to remember that even if I'm not playing Amy or Rory or River, our characters are still supposed to be friends. So I end up feeling like I'm not actually part of the Who Cast despite playing a Who character.

Oh well, at least I have good cross canon CR.

see, that breaks my heart and not even in an ironic I'm-being-a-sarcastic-dick way. I'm thinking of playing 11 again & I'd kill bitches for ANY active companions, esp ones from previous incarnations. just think of how the dynamics would change/be the same, right?

ahahahahaha cross canon CR is that a food

tell me when and where, and I would be there.

I play Who characters (well, a companion and a TW character) who are LCWs in two different games and all these people talking about cliquey Who casts make me cry.

Know the feeling, anon. Try to do or start something with the Doctor, and my character gets shoved aside for Rory or River or someone else who can do it better or faster. I don't feel like I'm part of the Who cast. It's frustrating.

Working on the cross canon CR thing myself.

Same thing here. The Doctor has a great player, but my canon character has to do something wrong or jump up and down to get his attention. Otherwise, he's in the background doing something for the Doctor. I never feel like I'm part of the Who cast when the Smith season chars are getting multiple tags and I get one.

Cross canon CR is my life.

Are you me? Same problem. Ignored and background unless the Doctor or his present companions need shit. Then you're an idiot until we get what we want. Fuck you.
