Eloisa is from the historical novel, Lest They Leave, written by player. dinosauro

Kudos to person for throwing own fanfic characters into meme land and pretending they're not just a bunch of OCs.

Fanfic doesn't appear in this equation.

Re: MEME PET PEEVES

[(Anonymous)]

it's a historical novel so i guess the canon would be "reality"

oh no! someone's playing a character that doesn't know what being a demiromantic asexual is! they might even... gasp... not reply to pride network posts saying "yaaaay being gay is the best!!!"

nah i don't give a shit about that enjoy yet another historic lesbian's gay awakening in trying historic times being persecuted for her love, this player has like fucking fifty of them that cycle in and out on memes

Re: MEME PET PEEVES

this player’s crime isn’t writing original work, it’s just being a typical flake and spammer about it. you won’t get anything going with the first dozen OCs but good news is they have two dozen new ones now!!

Re: MEME PET PEEVES

[(Anonymous)]

can't believe you managed to find a flaky player on memes

Of course they're a bunch of OCs, that is literally what writing a novel is. DWRP has a few actually solid authors playing their own characters.

Re: MEME PET PEEVES

this is the funniest thread on wankgate imo

pretending like we're better than this person because they're playing their own novel's characters instead of someone else's novel's characters because something something ocs. absolute brainworms, but it probably would have flown in 2008

+1

if this is now forbidden then it's bad news for the multiple people i know who are writing novels or who have written original fiction about their dwrp ocs and who use dwrp for worldbuilding.

this is not uncommon. anyone who thinks so has been living under a rock.

i don't want to "hi x" because i know they're always wrong, but it stretches suspension of disbelief to think anyone but the player is in here testily defending them since she never actually has any cr. she churns out dozens of character journals a month, does a text thread or two, flakes, then churns out more, spends hours on plurk tittering about them, never does any threads, over and over. i don't know why she needs so many, because they're all the same exact character with some flavor details shuffled from journal to journal and she never threads anyway.

boy you really want this wank to take huh

Re: MEME PET PEEVES

[(Anonymous)]

anon you don't understand how jealous we all are that she's published books no one has heard of or can access to read.

Re: MEME PET PEEVES

[(Anonymous)]

see i knew exactly zero of that as i don't bakerstreet, but i do know that playing an oc from your own novel is completely fine and normal so that is what the defense was based on. you are the one who looks bad here trying to get people to pile on someone for playing a fictional character in fictional character space
