Post ghosties

I've been making more of an effort to keep up on game journals for my CoH characters as I do them. I've realized I can't (timewise, at least) do big, grand, RP novels like some folk do. But I can, at the very least, do little journal entry sorts of things for each character when I pull them out to play. It helps find the voice, it helps maintain interest, and it makes me feel like I'm doing more than just running around with an accent.

Haven't done this with everyone, but I need to get into that habit. At the very least, Torchielle and Psi-clone have been getting some posts under their respective belts. And it's been noticed.

Actually, it's kind of funny -- I have a metaplot for PC, and have since Day 1. I've run hot and cold on it, and it tends to morph a bit depending on the mood I'm in when I'm playing -- but that actually works well with it, too. And for what it's worth, the questions asked in Doyce's post are pretty good ones, though not the only good ones that could be asked ...

It will be an interesting balancing act to give out enough info to keep it interesting, to not reveal stuff too quickly, but to reveal it quickly enough. Where the story will eventually go, I don't know. I'm not sure where I want it to go -- I'm certainly not interested in a massive Alliance-wide thang, but there are aspects of it that could be blown up that broadly (or should, if played the way they ought to be).

In the meantime ... fun.

(There's also a lengthy Honey post out there waiting for Margie to look at it and go ooh and aah and Kazima doesn't talk that way before I put it up.)
