mechanism auditionsthe time is NIGH, children!
so... i'm having auditions for it? why auditions? why not just let anyone on? because i've found it uh... hard. it's difficult and i'm asking a lot and i want this to be as good and fun as possible and for that i want the people that uh... want it the most and are the most dedicated... i guess.
Who should audition?!
people that:
1) like rping (duh)
2) are more than ok with different sexual preferences and hella sex.
3) are 18 or over (there's HELLA SEX, HELLA HELLA HELLA SEX)
4) people who like imperfect worlds, imperfect characters, violence, sex, and the shiny future. people who cry happily at the thought of computers and hugefuck cityscapes.
Who shouldn't audition?
1) flakes
2) people who write really flowery descriptions that one commonly finds in romance novels and fantasy literature.
3) people i hate. i'm sure this is a no brainer but if i've got you blocked from my da page, i hella don't want to play with you.
4) republicans.
5) people that can't handle horrible language.
"some of those are harsh, didn't you have a huge fantasy comic book, vv?"
i don't care! so much writing makes me vomit because it talks about inner dragon fire. there is no inner dragon fire! also, i hate republicans. why are you watching me if you're a republican?!! take me off your watch!
"ok, but how do I audition?!!"
well! this is what happens. Basically, you're going to read the encyclopedia for the universe, then you're going to make a little character and write them doing something. So!
step 1) you read the encyclopedia that i lovingly made with my insanity which is found here: [link]
This thing will describe pretty much everything you'll need to know about the mechanism universe! and if you don't fucking read it I WILL KNOW. The encyclopedia is very FOUNDATIONAL. it's supposed to be! you're supposed to read it and synthesize and create something new from it.
Step 2) read the fucking encyclopedia again!!! seriously, i cannot tell you how much i will hate you if some really big concept is fucked up.
step 3) make a character based on what's given in the universe using this little template: [link]
any damn character. yes, it can be one you already have and adapt to this, i don't give a shit. use this little profile thing to make it. don't worry about everything being absolutely set in stone, you can change it after you're in if something's weird or if you don't like it. and you don't even have to use that character if you get in so don't worry about that!
step 4) write something about your little character doing something (around a page at most). this should be written in third person past tense (so "Bill walked to the store" NOT "I walked to the store", ok?).
don't worry about like, if this conflicts with something. you're only being judged on your ability to read the pedia and synthesize from it. in other words, i'm giving you the TOOLS and SUPPLIES, but you're the one making the birdhouse. Everyone gets the same tools and supplies! if you rock this and something doesn't jive with something already in progress that's OKAY, this is just to see how you write and to make sure you've got the right idea.
step 5) email the character profile and the little story to vv at vv.veryvery(at)gmail.com!!!
don't uh... be butt hurt if we don't take you. cuz like if we let just people in willynilly and they don't jive with everyone else then not only will we be sad but you too! right? ok!
if you have any questions ask here, please! you might be wondering something that everyone else wants to know, right? so... yes. but for the most part, the pedia should answer everything, anything not answered in the pedia you MAKE IT UP! i set up this structure so that people can do their own shit and I don't have to babysit you. because i'm busy. and lazy.
[edit] - as of 2/5/07 the pedia is DOWN. i'm working on the problem.

my soul aches D:

I don't know the meaning of the word "surrender". I mean, I know it, I'm not dumb... just not in this context.
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

I know you expect me to be funny,
charming, entertaining or at least wise at this point.
But I´m not.
If that's wrong, let me know.
Also, present day stuff like regular road cars and laptops are probably totally obsolete considering that there's a 200 or so year gap between "now" and the mechanism universe. But even so, do real instruments still exist like violins, etc.? Are there still certain types of 'oldworld' items in existence?
haha, fantasy writing yeeeeah *punches self a few times* e e;
also, who DOESN'T hate republicans?

"Maybe I can do it if I put my back into it. I could leave here if I wanted but there's no place else I can go."

...damn, i sound pathetic.
WHY DO YOU DESTROY MY DREAMS.
Can I try out? :0
