Intro

[makeherblue]

Hi! New player coming in. I'm Camille, and I'll be bringing in the Eleventh Doctor from Doctor Who: he's a 907(ish) year-old Time Lord who may or may not be lying about his age, among other things. He's not much into the whole fighting...thing, so I'm sure he'll find another way to be useful around the ship.  Maybe a good poke around, because he can't resist being curious and Stacy's an impressive girl.

I'm not positive yet on a specific canon point (will know before the pod pop) but I'm looking forward to playing with you all!

If you would like to chat or ask me questions, I can be contacted through PM or Plurk @ timefreeze

dfskgjnsdfklghdflskhglsdfjghadklshfgladg ZOMG THE DOCTOR /squees and flails around forever





I'm sorry, I just love Eleven sdlifjosdlfgds

[makeherblue]

I hope I can do him justice! *crosses fingers* I may have to geek that you play from Animorphs, as well 8D

[livestoannoy]

Aaaaaah I am sure you can!

Eeee and you know Animorphs too! That just makes you all the more awesome, yesyes ♥

(Oh yes and I should...possibly introduce myself, orz. I'm Blue, I play...well, obviously Marco here, as well Daja Kisubo from Circle of Magic, and Merlin from...well...Merlin, who I'm podpopping this round)



/contiues to squee quietly in the corner

[makeherblue]

Yes, somewhat familiar, although I didn't reach the ending -- I heard it was really amazing though and now I kind of want to reread them ;a;.

Nice to meet you, Blue! What's Merlin like?

[nevergetscredit]

Aaaah, you definitely should! They're actually starting to republish the books next year too, which is AWESOME (though we don't know if they're reprinting the whole series. And it could take a while to get to the end. I may possibly have pdfs if you're really desperate to read them all, but shhhhh don't tell anyone!)

WELL. He's basically *the* Merlin, but a young one who's around the same age as Arthur and lives in a Camelot where magic is banned. (His app's here, if you want to read in detail. And to...save me from rambling endlessly)

(And ironically the actor who plays Merlin also played Jethro in DW.)

[makeherblue]

Oh, wow, they're republishing? I would not be adverse to PDFs 8D.

Yes, I was about to say he looks familiar, from Midnight? How is the show in tone?

[nevergetscredit]

Yes, they aaaaaaaare! I am excite! Just let me know if you'd like them, and I can email them to you or something

Yup, Midnight and for this reason there does exist fanfiction that has Merlin and Jethro actually being the same person - it's up to you whether you want the Doctor to notice the similarity though. I'm fine either way!

Ooooh, are you thinking of watching it? It is awesome fun! As for tone, it's very much in the "family show" category. Although that didn't stop the creators from putting subtext like everywhere. And between everyone. And mostly, the tone's pretty lighthearted - though, there are darker moments. Also, there's a lot of playing around with Arthurian myth, naturally - the creators clearly know a lot about the mythology, but they also turn it on it's head a lot. Like, Arthur and Merlin are around the same age, and Guinevere is Morgana's maid.

[makeherblue]

I think I'll have to take you up on that sharing offer. :D I'll PM you my e-mail addy in a bit.

Oh, that's a cool plot thing. I think he could probably just assume he's an ancestor or relative somehow? Since he'd probably at least figure out the timeline is wrong before...stuff.

Yes, I'm thinking of watching it! I kept seeing people tossing up links for the later seasons and I've heard a decent amount about it being interesting so I'm getting increasingly more tempted.

[nevergetscredit]

Ah, your email's actually up on the contact list, so I can just get it from there!

He could! Whatever you like, really. (I'm not sure how much the Doctor knows about the Merlin in his verse. I've seen mentions though about how apparently the Doctor is meant to be Merlin? I have no idea where that came from though - Old Who, if anything - so I can't say whether that's true)

Oh! Also, in Merlin's canon - magic is illegal. On pain of death. So expect some initial freaking out when random people suddenly know about his magic :P

You should! It is awesome fun XD

[makeherblue]

I didn't notice it had been updated. That works. :3

Well, I think we can probably fudge around it, especially with Who canon being...weird with being canon. Like I'm not even sure how to place the audio books within TV stuff. But the ancestor thing could be probably the most workable for now.

Oh dear! Yes. And...something about a trollface dragon? (Clearly I hear all the relevant bits).

[nevergetscredit]

I only just looked then, so XD

Yush, Who canon is...big and huge and complicated. I have to say, I always admire anyone who can play the Doctor, because wow. (The only Who canon characters I'd ever be able to pick up would be like...companions and the like)

Fff I haven't heard trollface dragon before! Though there is a dragon. And a troll. (Mostly he gets called the Slash Dragon because he goes on about Merlin and Arthur having a destiny together a lot)

(aaaand emails are sent, so you should have the pdfs now! 8D)

[makeherblue]

Oh, you aren't kidding. It's pretty daunting, even with Wikis and the books and audio books/dramas (etc). But then again, that's half the fun, having a lot of canon to get into even if it'll take forever and a day.

That sounds pretty slashy 8D

Thank you, I got it! Also, thank you for the chronology list, that should be very helpful.

[nevergetscredit]

Well, kudos to you for giving it a go!

(see, I told you that this show puts subtext everywhere XD)

No problem!

[alterniantaurus.livejournal.com]

Hi, Camille! Good to have another Doctor on board. :) And of course we all just love fresh meat. :9

I'm Sarah, and my only character is this Homestuck troll. Because I'm a winner. Winner winner chicken dinner.

[makeherblue]

I'm excited to try Eleven out in this setting, for sure. 8D Hello!

[pretty_lethal]

I was invited here to help go OH MY GOD at you in welcome. :D I absolutely love Eleven. c:

Welcome to Trans! I'm Caitlin, with Rachel (Animorphs) here, and Ba'al (Stargate) and possibly someone else if I app this month. Hope you have a rockin' time here. :D

[makeherblue]

Hi Caitlin! I have to...geek again because this is really cool to have an Animorphs cast here. I'm a little familiar with Stargate but only the first couple of episodes. Hope so too, thanks! 8D

[pretty_lethal]

aahh I'm so proud of my castmates, they're all awesome. And it's really cool that you know Animorphs! And yeah, Ba'al's not really in the show until later.

Anyway, it's nice to meet you! I look forward to playing with Eleven! c:

[makeherblue]

I didn't get a chance to finish it, but I"m aware of some of the later spoilers! And yes, that explains probably why I don't recognize him, I'm still on the stage where Jack has startlingly brown hair. For some unexplained reason, I had thought he'd had gray hair the entire run.

Thanks! I'll have to throw him at you guys sometime!

[pretty_lethal]

Oh man I can sympathize. I went back and rewatched some of the early episodes and it's shocking how... not grey his hair is. :|a

Awesome! \o/

[bonnypiperlad]

Hello, Camille! I'm Beth, and I play Jamie here. And I rather suspect we've already talked. :)

I'm thrilled you're going to be able to play here and am looking forward to it quite a lot. Jamie will also be quite thrilled, although I apologize in advance for any clinging that might happen. He tends to do that a wee bit.

[makeherblue]

Hello! Yes...we...may have already talked, I'm not a regular Solid Snake, am I? 8D

Eleven could always go for a good hug. Using him as a human ladder he might not appreciate as much but yes. 8D Looking forward to playing with you all!

[bonnypiperlad]

Shh. We'll keep it our secret. :)

And Jamie doesn't tend to actually climb all over the Doctor, just pull his clothes out of shape. Mostly. XD

If you need to get in touch with me for anything, my AIM and email are in the contact list, or you can PM me. I don't have a plurk right now, but if I decide to make one I'll throw a link up in my profile somewhere. PMs and emails are generally the best way to get in touch, since I can't chat while I'm at work.

[makeherblue]

That'll be a feat with that plant suit in the way. But I kind of like that mental image, it's cute.

Okay, I'll probably stick with email, I'm not much for AIM myself and the whole work thing is like that too for my end. >:

[blacks-lackey.livejournal.com]

Hi! I'm Claire and I play Turlough. Comes in from after he was heading home, so he won't try to kill you.

[makeherblue]

Hi Claire! Eleven will totally appreciate that!

Um, although I was telling Beth this but I'm still watching Old Who, so I haven't got to Turlough yet (I'm still on One's earlier runs). Just thought I'd give you a warning. :

[blacks-lackey.livejournal.com]

No worries, I'm used to that from Nu!Who Doctors, he's probably as clingy as Jamie, just covers it with snark and bitching. Any questions, just pm me.

[makeherblue]

Oh yes, I'll probably have to do that. Do you have Plurk or should I stick to pm?

[blacks-lackey.livejournal.com]

No plurk I'm afraid.

[makeherblue]

Works for me. I'll probably have to pm you when they're closer to running into each other.

[blacks-lackey.livejournal.com]

Good stuff.
