Slap me.
I shouldn't have but I did. I wrote a new Saiyuki fic. I couldn't resist. And *cough* I used you people in it. All the top 20 posters have cameo roles...
The big question: can I use your name? Most people are in the second chapter but I won't put it up until I have permission.
And I need a beta too ^_^

Really? *laughs* I'm sorry, I don't slap people unless they can proove beyond all doubt that they are not lawyers.
Anyway, writing with real people is dangerous, but terribly funny when done correctly. I'd love to read it, and would be happy to beta, for all that my skills in that department extend primarily to grammar.

And you know I'm fine to beta as well, of course. Though I'm really only for grammar too.
Did anyone beta the first chapter? I noticed a few errors... (Down!! Down, girl!! *shoves at crazed inner beta* Wait!! Your time shall come!!)

I am intrigued, to say the least, about our cameo appearences. You have my permission to use my name.

Well, Me-Nuriko and Ganheim have been used non-humour style. It's all interchangeable, however. Here's how the rest of you are used (the terrible English and script style is because you are all in a chatroom:
Quote (still don't know how to do that):
Optimoose: quest?
KarotsaMused: 4 sapphire n emerald orbs.
Elven dreamer: how mny ppl kan immerse?
KarotsaMused: 9
treneka: ho hosts?
cesmith: i wil
End quote. Small reference to Breakroom. For those who haven't read it, go read. First chapter. *snerk* Orbs...
The meaning of the convo may be totally lost upon you, in fact, I know it will be. To clear this up, y'all are in a chatroom, about to 'immerse' meaning 'play', a game.
Optimoose asks 'a questing game?' (The person reading has missed the first part of the convo)
Karotsa replies that she wants to play a quest searching for emerald and sapphire orbs.
E-d: How many can play?
KarotsaMused: 9
treneka then asks who will host the game? Hosters input the rules etc, though they discuss it with the other players first. This gives them no power over the other gamers whatsoever. cesmith (obviously) says that she will. Tell me if your name is there and you don't want it to be.
Oh yeah, there's a band called proboards29 (more snerks... funfunfun!!) ;D

Uh... I've chatted with both, Karots and Cesmith on AIM, and neither of the two talks like that. And neither do I...

Eh... hehehe. I've changed it to short MSN style because that's how we will talk in the future (spare the horror) but I could change it back...

Non-humour style? Is that good? Am I some serious background speaker, or what? Didn't know I was that boring.^^;;

No, I didn't mean that in any way.
I remembered that Ganheim had stories on hold for a while because of exams so I used that to demonstrate that the VRvisor could be used for pratically anything (you offer to help revise)

I tend to avoid self-inserts (though this is just generally an "insert"?) to avoid offending people. If I do insert people, I give them a small part, because with my main characters...well, I like to control them, and make them do all I want, and when they're meant to be someone else I don't feel right doing that. Sometimes I will put someone I know personally into a story, and change their name, without their knowledge. But these people don't actually realise it...they don't read my stuff. Very few read all I write. Hmmm....well, you know you can use elven dreamer. But technically that's not me. There's a hell of a lot of aliases I have used and still do.

You know, Salma, I had the same reaction... Woo, I caught this post on the long end of it, didn't I? My morbid curiosity bubbles. Ah, dear, I'll go down in history for my orbs, shan't I? 'Sall good. Notoriety and popularity aren't far from one another. Agree with Opti - Don't know about everybody else, but I use complete sentences on AIM. Uh. I guess you can use my name...? I s'pose I don't see why not, s'long as I'm not robbing a bank or something. And if I -am- robbing a bank, I had better darn well get away with it. (I was once a cameo in another fiction - "Love Story" by RamenKitty. I'm the doctor that gets mauled. Yay. ^^;; After that, I figure I can handle just about anything.)
