+ TENTH YEAR ANNIVERSARY OOC MINGLE MEME +
Are you a current player, and want to reminisce about your game history so far? Do you still remember
entranceway's livejournal days, and want to share your stories? Did you play here a while ago, and are sad that it didn't quite work out? Do you really want to say hello to an old game, but don't feel like joining the IC aspect for whatever reason? Then this is just the place for you!
No matter how, when, or for how long, if
entranceway is, was, or might ever be part of your life, then the OOC MINGLE MEME invites you to drop in and say hello! There is no posting structure, and no rules except to be courteous, and play nice with each other. Just comment to this post, and share your stories, your experiences, characters you have or do or want to play, and absolutely everything and anything that connects you to
entranceway!
We're all looking forward to seeing you here, HAPPY TENTH ANNIVERSARY, AND THANK YOU, TO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU, FOR MAKING THIS POSSIBLE!

So I used to RP years before eway, but that was on German message boards, mostly with original characters. During my time on LJ I crossed paths with the RPing community every once in a while and I was always like THIS IS SO COOL OH MY GOD and I felt like staring through a glass window into an awesome party house, while having no idea where the door was. I had no idea how to get into anything or who to ask about it. I halfheartedly made two or three attempts at figuring out on my own, but it very quickly ended with me going AAAAaaaaAaAaAAAA?!?!?!? and stopping again.
CUE THE YEAR 2010. Remember anon kink memes, the story writing kind? I was taking part in lots of those, most notably the ~BIOSHOCK KINK MEME~. So one day this kink meme got an anon meme added to its community, and one day people on this anon meme suddenly started roleplaying on it. Of course I was immediately AAAAaaaaAaAaAAAA?!?!?!? again, but I very VERY badly wanted to be part of it. So I made a Dr. Sofia Lamb account. And I got to be part of it. And [ several paragraphs of underwater pornography, depictions of sentient security drones, questionable business practices, and malevolent ferrets omitted ]. AND I MET SO MANY AMAZING PEOPLE, many of which were actually roleplaying for serious in serious(ish) games.
And one day I was like "Hey guys, so if I wanted to join a Proper roleplaying game, one that preferably will not eat me alive for being fresh meat, and where I can roleplay For Serious but still don't have to rule out the possibility of maybe one day having a character create an immortality elixir from porcupine hormones?" And they were like: "WELL--" and they gave me ideas and I was like "OH MY GOD THIS SOUNDS PERFECT!"
AND THAT IS HOW I APPLIED TO CAMP FUCK YOU DIE
....but they rejected my app so I was like "...Meh, I guess that one looks okay too."
AND THAT IS HOW I JOINED ENTRANCEWAY!!!!
That was May 2010. I started out with Dr. Sofia Lamb from Bioshock, as part of the cast I already knew, and I think it was already by the end of that year that I had five characters in the game, because it just made all of my Fun and Accessible newbie dreams come true.
Like, something I've always appreciated intensely about the setting is how much of yourself you can bring to it, you can really shape your own experience here, and the tone and genre is what you make of it (yes it says so in the ad I put that there I stand by it those are the words), which for me is one of the big reasons why it's worth sticking around for so long.
Back when I joined I used to still be a university student too, and with irregular classes and timezones being what they are I just had the terribest fun staying up all night chatting and RPing with people.
I also at some point started doing the game's ATP and tossed together a new layout for the communities, and at some point later (in June 2013) S O M E B O D Y (not naming names, but it was Koji, it is all her fault) encouraged me to app for the latest mod position AND SO I DID and here we are. (I used to mod LJ communities and RP message boards before and actually really enjoyed doing it again, I am thinking I might quite possibly be one of the few weird mutations who really love modwork)
My big thing is that I have a really hard time staying in one place for long, not just in roleplaying, but in terms of online communities in general. I used to switch out my nickname and whole circle of acquaintances every three years or so, and I'm kind of amazed that that impulse hasn't been able to win out against entranceway so far.
Mostly because I think I see how much fun people are having at this game, and how happy it makes them, both in terms of what they can do IC and how they connect with each other OOC, and it's just really nice to be able to help with that even a little.
I currently play Philip (Penumbra) and Cullen Rutherford (Dragon Age)
My past characters are Sofia Lamb (Bioshock), Dr. Bhamba (Better Off Ted), Elle Driver (Kill Bill), Frederica Sawyer (Black Lagoon), Lord Buckingham (The Three Musketeers), and Aveline Vallen (Dragon Age).
My contact post, if you want it.
Re: Mouette
And now look at you, you're a mod helping drive this game forward! You've come so far! :o
I am going to bet that you'll be with Eway for much longer still. Thanks for putting up with all of us crazies lol
(I was here when Philip still had a voice and... another voice!)
....That's your Philip, right? lol
