Also Phobos, because his Gimli is amazing.

I did notice that your line was a bit flat-sounding; it might be fixable in Audacity, but I'm not sure.

Oddly enough, I found my best recording device wasn't a microphone, but my telephone. So maybe that's an avenue you can explore, if you've got a mobile? Most of them have voice recorders these days.

OFUM needs both large numbers of fangirls, and large numbers of mostly-male staff members. The first trailer was done sneaky-like, but if I try to make the second, it'll be open auditions. (With first refusal to the people who voiced the characters already; it wouldn't be fair otherwise.)

1/ OFUDisc had a couple of PPC agents attending, who signed up because they wanted to learn more about the Discworld. So depending on the OFU, it's definitely possible to volunteer yourself.

2/ Since some people don't know this: all student names in OFU stories are taken from people who volunteered themselves/their fangirl alter egos. In-universe they're dragged there, but the 'fangirls' and 'badficcers' are actually fans of the story who signed up for it.

Both were in formal wear, although Apecian's was more an approximation of such adapted from his usual outfit, the most notable changes being that his shirt had long sleeves and he was wearing a vest in a deeper shade of red than his eyes. Michael, on the other hand, was wearing a traditional tuxedo, with a green neck tie tied in a knot whose name Apecian couldn't remember. Apecian grinned at his partner, who had seemed to relax a bit after seeing the modicum of privacy afforded by the low lighting.

"Alright, you ready?" he asked. His clothes may have been more formal, but his speech most definitely wasn't.

"I believe so, yes," Michael replied quietly. Apecian had been around him long enough to pick up that he was nervous, and scoffed.

"Come on, you'll do just fine," he said. "Go on, find your table." Michael hesitated, but then nodded.

"Good luck," he said, and went in search of his name. Apecian waved to his partner, then started walking around the tables. He managed to find his name rather quickly, and he considered taking a peak at his first date's name. He grinned at the thought of this as a date, and decided against it. No need to ruin the surprise. He slid into his seat, and waited for the other to arrive.

A small rectangle of fine cardstock has been slipped under your RC door. It is an invitation, in elegant script, to a get-together with fellow . . . interested, parties.

It proceeds to detail an event in which agents will be given a chance to get to know one another. A bit like speed dating. If you have received the invitation, you are already on the list of participants, and a place has been set for you.

Of course, your attendance is at your discretion.

The interesting part for the inquiring-minded agent is this: the invitation gives directions to an address within central HQ (near the Lounge, in fact).

This address has never existed.

Your investigation leads you to a door of rich, warm mahogany, and inside you find a warmly lit room, dominated by gas lamps and candles.

The ring of tables is covered with a deep red tablecloth, a single lamp on each providing enough lighting that you can see your partner, but little enough for it to feel . . . private. Additionally, a card of the same material as the invitation marks your place at the table. It bears your name, in the same fine script as the invitation which brought you here.

The Mysterious Host sits at (his?) table at the back, the two halves of the ring sweeping towards his like wings. His table is slightly more shadowed, his chair richer and higher-backed and his table smaller. There may even be a place beside him.

All you can tell of his appearance is that he is dressed in elegant clothing, and seems to be smiling warmly. He raises his his glass, full of deep red liquid, in greeting, and brings it to his lips.

Of course, your attendance is at your discretion . . .

I look forward to seeing them at my event.

... make it official. I will happily dropkick Michael and Apecian into this RP. Now, pardon me while I scuttle off to giggle madly and create nonsensical reasons for them to be there.

Us in the Discord've been thinking of doing something for Singles Awareness Day, so we've developed the idea of a Speed Dating RP. A host would take the list of interested agents and make sure each member of every set interacts with the other agents at least once.

The RP partners will, of course, be entirely at the discretion of the agents' respective authors, though we encourage having a quick RP with as many people as possible.

The number of posts allowed by either party will be treated more as a guideline than an actual rule, but we needed a way to simulate the time limit.

The identity of the host is undecided (I'm personally a fan of a Generic Host, with a mysterious identity), and may or may not actually exist, depending on whether or not we have an odd number of interested agents.

I myself won't be able to attend throughout the affair, but I do have a few concepts I'd like to put through their paces, so I'll probably show up at some point. Might even try my hand at being the Mysterious Host. Anyone interested in throwing their agents to the wolves, feel free to volunteer them below!

. . . I think they bear repeating here.

(Her fanfic gives the voice a name, but I think everyone who's read it knew who it was. )

We all knew Ix had no reason to worry. It's a place that's relatable, and it grates the heartstrings.

Which is why the fic's end is such a relief, and a heartwarming success.

All in all, a piece of Valentine's Day fluff I'm quite fond of, even if it did leave me in need of a cardiologist after all that grating and warming.

Ix discovers that how she sees the world isn’t a true measure of reality.

Happy Valentine's Day!

So, I haven't ever 'officially' beta'd something, just looked stuff over for friends, but I do have a lot of X-men knowledge. I'm definitely willing to look over it if you want me.

Hi,

Doc Sent.
Thanks!
Sorry for any confusion I may have caused by latching on to your post.

Thanks!

It would be great to do some of our setting's shorter missions or interludes, though I know it would get time consuming.

I'd, uh . . . I'd love to be in on voice acting, if there are any parts needed in the future? I'm a baritone.

—doctorlit never heard back from Ekyl after his initial voice auditions, now glomps on to hS's project

I'd be happy to contribute more if the project does continue. (I'll try to improve my sound quality, too. Couldn't help but notice the difference there. >.< )

I hope Miss Cam likes it. *crosses fingers*

When making a post with a completely different request, it's best to make the post a separate one, and not attached; otherwise I assume you're wanting to beta *my* thing. But I would be willing to look at them. My address for Google is csteinle@comcast.com, if you share by Google Docs.

"You realize if you smash whatever's in there, there's really no point in opening the box."

He walked over and offered her the key. "Try this?"

If he ended up with a bag, he might try keeping the spiked ball for his further travels.

Hi,

Even though I'm still a newbie, I've made a set of agents.
While it will be quite awhile before I can actually write something for the PPC, I want to see how I can improve.
So, would anyone be willing to beta them for me?

Note:
There are a total of three agents with around 200 words each. No prompts yet.

PS: Silenthunder, I hope you don't mind me gluing this to your post.

SECRET MESSAGE 11

Now, I know Silver is already beta-ing this, but as Matt Cipher wisely advised me, never have just one beta. Even if you don't know about "Wolverine and the X-Men" specifically, it would be nice if anyone who had an X-Man knowledge could pitch in, or if anyone who'd be willing would pitch in for a second opinion, especially because this mission has two possible endings and I can't decide which one to go with. Anyone willing? I've got free chocolate!

*screams in excitement, then likes the video* The animation and voice acting was great! Good job!

Sounds like a very fun time for all!

We should get Roger Ebert's site to review it!
