Hemsworth post May. 23rd, 2013 @ 09:48 am
[info]padawanhilary
My apologies to Amadi, who has the patience of a saint. I was supposed to put up a post that we finished in November of last year after months and months and MONTHS of me dragging ass with the tags. Anyway, it's not showing up on the Est page, but it's here.

Hemsworth and Zoe.

Update on Bunny May. 20th, 2013 @ 12:21 pm
[info]dalehead
Not sure how many of you know that Oklahoma has been struck by tornadoes and some of them far too close to Bunny for comfort.

She's fine, her family and critters are fine. She's involved in helping wherever she can, so expect radio silence for now. In the meantime, for those who do, spare a thought for her community in your prayers.

Here's a link to the story from the BBC website

NPC claims put in May. 17th, 2013 @ 01:27 pm
[info]est_hardy
Whatever mod is on the other end right now has been superefficient and, like, immediately posted my claims for Viggo, Milla and Leo on Tom Hardy's behalf. Thank you to [info]gringitasarita for pointing out that I had never NPCed them, and thank you mod for being quick like bunny.

Leo

Milla

Viggo


The upshot of the Tom situation is this: I am going to post a bridge kind of ficlet that will tie up as many loose ends and vagaries as I can. Because the writers of Leo and Viggo have moved on to other things (ages ago), it's as hard for me to maintain those relationships as it was for me to juggle Bruce, Anton and Chris. So please, if you want one of these three pups listed up there, let me know and we can hash out what to keep and throw out.

The core fundamentals are this: I'd like to avoid breakups, but I am willing to offer as much flexibility as I can. People's lives change and they grow (and grow apart). Viggo is so eccentric and amazing, Milla is so goddamned famous and Leo is a machine, workwise, so it'd be hard to maintain ONE relationship in ONE country, let alone several in several. So I can just see this being a transitional thing, with maybe something like every once in a while Tom meets with Viggo or Leo offscreen and they exchange, "I love you, are you happy? Good. Same time next year?"

Woof. It's like being sucked back into a story you forgot you read. Hello, inside of Tom's brain. Missed you.

Backstory woes May. 17th, 2013 @ 07:19 am
[info]est_hardy
So in Tom's recent post and subsequent thread, he mentions living in a flat and considering buying a house. Well, I mucked up his backstory, then, because last we mentioned, he was living with Leo and just not seeing Leo much because Leo is...well, Leo, and he works like a machine and flies off to Africa to help babies and suchlike.

But it's been tricky balancing all of that, because in spite of the fact that I love Tom's backstory with Leo and Viggo, the more time elapses, the more I forget this stuff. It's been...a couple years? Since Viggo's writer left the game, and it's been longer than that since Leo's did, so now it's all muddy in my head.

What do you guys do in a case like this? I don't want to wipe the backstory, I don't want to break people up, I just kind of want to...sunset that part that prevents him from moving forward with Davey.

It is time to bid a sad adieu May. 6th, 2013 @ 09:05 pm
[info]sorchar
I'm posting with sadness to say that I won't be writing [info]simon_says anymore. He's been a lovely character, and I'm sorry to let him go. At this point, I'm not sure if Vik will be NPCing him or if he's fully released; as soon as I know something I'll let the mods know.

Retiring Two Pups Apr. 13th, 2013 @ 10:16 am
[info]vikki_a
Hi, folks.

I haven't been very active in the game lately, as real life has called. I'm trying to catch up but I need to reduce my pup load, so I'm going to retire two pups.

[info]est_dushku (Eliza) and [info]est_gjokaj (Enver) are going to sail into the sunset with their respective NPC partners, Jonas and Bruce. If anyone would like to NPC them/hold backstory, go ahead.

NPCs and withdrawing Apr. 11th, 2013 @ 08:09 pm
[info]padawanhilary
It is with a whole lot of sadness that I make this post. I'm not leaving the Est--promise--but I have asked my cowriters to NPC most of my pups. I will be keeping [info]est_hardy. The following pups will be put into NPC status:

[info]c_bale, by [info]est_wenham.

[info]anton_yelchin, [info]est_greenwood, [info]est_hemsworth...that might take some sorting. I'm assuming Pine and Zoe will want some of that action, or even Pegg.

[info]vance will go to [info]est_alba.

[info]est_thandie will get NPCed by either [info]simon_says or [info]est_nelson.

My intention for these pups is that they will carry on in their respective relationships. I am going to do the best I can to wrap up a couple of long- (and I do mean LONG) outstanding logs. I got slower and slower as the stress built up over the past year, and now it just doesn't feel right to make the obligatory one-shot post just to keep the pup in good standing.

The fact that it's taken me weeks just to finalize this post might tell you a lot. I'm currently enrolled in college again, taking 17 hours. In May, I get a week off and then I take 13 more and another...17? 19? in the fall. It'll all end in December when I get a job, so basically my life is in heavy academic flux right now.

I am very, very sad to do this. It hurts just dumping my unwritten characters on my cowriters, and I am so sorry for it. I can be found for meta, though, if anyone needs it.

Thank you.
