So, you just sort of forgot that I need a thread with a canon character until three days before apps close? It's okay, I won't be disappointed if I don't get in this cycle. Maybe it's better to do the Fourth Wall thing first, anyway. Plus, I know you have a bunch of other places you want to app at, so it's probably a good idea to take it slow.

You don't seem to be very good at apping, though.

... No, no, you're right. If our roles were reversed I'd probably forget that you have to app and just start tagging people or something. That would be kind of awkward once people noticed. I think I'd be pretty good at the tagging part, though. Maybe?

How do you sign up to be a mun, anyway?

From one OC to another :P

[beautiful_nightmare]

Anyone can be a mun actually. You generally need to have an interest in writing oh and live in their universe and own a computer with access to the internet.

:3

[touchyflaily]

So it's a matter of luck, essentially. People from all other universes must bend to the whims of people from that one.

Did we lose some kind of trans-dimensional war to them that isn't in the history books?

[beautiful_nightmare]

Well as it stands we're just fictional in their universe. If there was a war where we could of decided this we would of annihilated them on the spot to be perfectly honest.

They're kind of weak compared to most of us here.

[touchyflaily]

Maybe it wasn't that kind of war.

We didn't exist in their universe, until someone basically made us up. But they don't exist in ours, because nobody bothered to make them up. So it's sort of a war, except instead of annihilating people you control their lives by creating fictionalized versions of them in your own universe.

We need to all become writers, right now.

[beautiful_nightmare]

But then you would be dealing with the multiverse theory. We would be controlling a version of them, not the specific person that affects our lives.

[touchyflaily]

Good point.

They're probably already being controlled by someone they don't realize exists.

[beautiful_nightmare]

If they are then the ones controlling the situation are either more incompetent or sadistic than the muns themselves.

[touchyflaily]

What makes you think that?

[beautiful_nightmare]

Their situation for the most part is terrible. Only a few of them get to go on any adventures or do anything interesting.

Another time, another place

[fates_lightning]

I'm beginning to think there aren't any sign ups or anything particularly special to be a mun. They just decide.

[touchyflaily]

I'm sure there's a more organized process than that.

[fates_lightning]

Mmmm, it's one of those things I wish was more clear, but my writer's being intentionally silent on this sort of thing. Probably because they find it amusing. [Vague, dismissive gesture, and an overdramatic sigh, see what she puts up with, Li?]

[touchyflaily]

Why let that stop you? You could use science!

[alwaystraveling]

You see other people having fun with many universes and want to join in. Then you rationalize it with 'I can use this to practice writing dialogue and characterization.'

That was my mun's process.

[touchyflaily]

It sounds like you'd need to be an aspiring writer first.

[alwaystraveling]

The writing was a rationalization. At best a secondary purpose. She started following games for reasons similar to when she read much 'fanfic,' particularly 'crossovers,' and developed the desire to participate herself.

[beifongbandit]

Geez, you sound like a wet blanket.

[touchyflaily]

... I'm depressing?

[ He's not insulted. Just confused. ]

[beifongbandit]

Kinda. I mean, how do you forget about apping? It's the only way to escape your mun's head, you know.

[touchyflaily]

I'm not forgetting about it! But what's another month, really?

[beifongbandit]

Another month of boredom. Don't you want to be out doing things? Meeting people? Being hopefully awkward in their direction?

[touchyflaily]

Yes, but realistically it's not going to happen this month. It wouldn't be fair to expect it to, and I'd end up disappointed.

And then you would have to watch me pout.

[beifongbandit]

Nuh uh. I'll be long gone before any pouting sets in. I escaped from that game a long time ago.

[touchyflaily]

No, it doesn't work like that! You can't just set someone up to be disappointed and then run off like it wasn't totally your fault!

I will find you, and then you will suffer the wrath of my wibble face.

[beifongbandit]

Dude, you're weird.

Also, I'm blind. Your wibble face will have no effect.
