I was looking at my RPG rooster roster and I realized I have played more male characters than I thought. The problem is, half of them were never applied for, like my two potential guys for ANCD.

And it got me thinking of our relationship with our characters in application, and how their histories and potential relationships can twist our understanding and appreciation of the proper game canon. Which is probably why it takes me so long to turn in apps-- I'm pretty happy letting the characters run around in potentials, because it still feels *real* to me, you know?

Do you guys have the same issues? If you don't roleplay, do you have the same issue with fics?

You are totally not lame :P. In fact, that happened with my last character I turned in for application! But it worked out because I transitioned her into my novel last Nanowrimo and I had a lot more fun with her that way. :D

Or you can do what I'm very tempted to do with one of my MS characters and move them into a new game. Sometimes it works!

Also? I <3 your icon <333.
