What Would [character name] Do?
Aug. 10th, 2007 03:38 amI was just now trying to figure a reply to a post and realised that all the different people in my icons would respond in totally different ways, and I couldn't much decide which if any I agreed with. Which would be what the chaos stars are for.
So now I'm thinking - all this stuff that's been going on making people grrr... There was this rule on a mailing list I was on that was something like Off Topic posts could only happen if they were written in the form of a short in character fic. You could post about your dog if and only if you then had the characters react to you talking about your dog. Because it was a fic list.
What would our characters do?
... because it's much less annoying than reality, yet allows us to poke the issues around some more.
