(from my mun journal, slightly edited)

If anyone's wondering why Will flocked his LJ, it's because he's feeling a bit paranoid about Kevin. (Oops, I need to have him unfriend Kev!) I'm going to sort out some details later. But I never thought twice about his flist being part of his "reality" until another mun had her pup mention the fact that Will had unfriended him when I'm the one who was messing around with Will's flist. *g* Instead of breaking the fourth wall and telling the mun that the friending stuff had nothing to do with her pup, I just had Will go along with it (which has turned out really well). And now flocking his journal is just another part of making him a real person since his journal is real in every other way for him, and who hasn't flocked their jounal at one time or another? Uh, if that makes sense... Well, I know what I mean, anyway.

Let me add: It may sound weird, but some of you will understand when I say that Will's a real person. He's got his moods and his annoyances and his LJ is just as personal and important to him as mine is to me. I'm going to start taking it as a compliment if someone confuses his actions for mine because that means I'm making him a very real person who is realistically imperfect, stressed, etc.

Last thing - I find it really funny that there's a tendency to confuse a pup's actions with a mun's when something negative happens. No one's ever accused a mun of being nice, sweet, loving or patient because his or her pup is that way. Why the double standard? Hypothetical question, btw.

ETA: My brain's been fried from NO friggin' sleep, and I should still be making OOC and RP posts public. It's only Will's journal entries/musings/memes (anything he'd be afraid for Kevin to see) that have to be locked in order to be true to his current situation. Got it? Good, because I don't know how to make it clearer. :-) This announcement will be on all the entries I'm unlocking so I don't get any "I thought his LJ was locked" griping.

Of course he's a real person. Face it dear, you and I are just the typists for these boys, we don't control one single they do. I never intended Legolas to interact in anything but meta play, but Pointy Ears had other ideas and I just get to go along for the ride.

By the way, you needn't worry about this mun going off her nut because of something that happen in RP. I've been doing RPG in one form or another for almost 20 years (Shhhh, don't tell anybody I admitted to being an old fart.). RP play and real life have always been completely separate to me. And in case I haven't said it before, I absolutely adore Will!

I think flocking the journal makes perfect sense. *nods* I've often thought about doing the same to Michael's, because he's mostly a very private person, but I never get around to it, lol.

And, okay: I accuse you of being nice, sweet, loving AND patient. ;) I know you actually ARE this way, though, not just 'accusing' you of it. ♥

Don't worry about it. :) Um, although Jackie personally thinks Will is being stupid and has just "sort of" said that in her new post. (Sorry!)

Emma understands, though.

I totally understand this. After all look who God gave me when he was handing out muses. LMAO. I am ignoring your Hypothetical question. I know I've ranted about it somewhere.

I agree with everyone, but especially Legolas' mun. We muns are at the whim, not to mention beck and call of our lovely muses. Mark was just going to be prompt only, ha! With a little light meta, ha again!

As for the hypothetical question...all I can say is WORD.

Oh, and I really need to get an OOC icon for Mark. :D

*snorts* You mean people actually think we can control these guys just because they talk through us? Obviously they don't understand the strength of personality involved.

((hugs)) Will does what he does, and trust me when I say I'm well aware of the fact that it had nothing to do with you. We might be able to give you some clues into what their thinking, but that doesn't mean we can control it.

I totally get what you mean, I just got confused before and Sam is still angry at me for that. I think you are one of the smartest people I've talked to around here and the pup and I both love Will. Sam's sort of worried about him right now but he worries too much anyway. He considers Will a big brother and role model of sorts.

But yeah, I completely understand what you mean about Will being his own person. If people confuse RL with RP it becomes bad which is why I never operate that way and try my best to play with nice people like yourself who also operate that way.

I'm sorry if this sounded creepy!

*hugs* It does make sense and doesn't sound weird at all. Will is a person in his own rights and him flocking his LJ fits him completely. Before Logan, I never would have believed that a fictional character can have so much of a life of their own, through him however, I've seen the light! ;P

H is totally real and we have huge arguments ...! Sometimes in the supermarket. atlantis_flyboy's mun says the same thing. I had to persuade H to lock his LJ much against his will - he wants to meet the world. But one of his friends (he plays on Yahoo as well) decided to edit his memoirs with a view to publishing and publishers don't like things to have been 'previously published'. Fortunately, the thought of being in print (maybe, one day) appealed so strongly to his vanity that he let me lock the journal! He has had huge rows with other 'muses' - mostly ones met through TM - maybe it's so big and such a melting pot that there are all sorts of different groups. It's really hard to tell at first - you can't exactly issue a questionnaire, even once you've worked out the questions that should be asked! More to the point, some of his friends have had horrendous experiences - makes you wonder what world the muns inhabit! Incidentally, I wouldn't have noticed that Will's journal was f'locked if you hadn't mentioned it ...
BTW, it's currently so cold here that he's hibernating - assuming he got back OK from the party ...And Yarrow is still badgering me about Legolas, when he's awake. A muse who uses another muse's LJ is a problem - I can see having to give him his own!
Sorry this comment appeared and disappeared and reappeared rapidly - I managed to 'bold' the whole lot, not just the OOC heading. :)
