Meme yanked from eibborn!

Association Meme: Comment to this post and I will give you 5 subjects/things I associate you with. Then post this in your LJ and elaborate on the subjects given.

And eib gave meeee:
1. Sci-fi
2. Pokemon
3. WoA
4. Original Characters
5. Sabrous

Sci-fi!
Oh man, I love sci-fi. I was raised on it. My feminist role models growing up? Captain Janeway from Star Trek Voyager and Sarah Connor. The book shelf to my immediate right, which covers the entire wall, is my dad's sci-fi book collection. So much awesomeness is to be found there. Oddly enough, I generally hate the Sci-Fi channel.

Pokemon!
Gotta catch 'em all! (I never did!) Seeing how Eib met me through rants about my pokemon rp on BRPS, this was kinda obvious. But, still. Pokemon is like... my original fandom. And I've done a lot of stuff for it; I made up my own pokemon when I was little, I worked on a pokemon anthropomorphism project on DA, rped, etc. I recently restarted by copy of LG, too (I hadn't done a very good job the first time around, and felt the only way to fix it was a total reset). I may post some doodles from that game soon.

WoA!
Originally the World of Aryon forum, then changed to the less offensive World Office of the Apocalypse forum. This is where the aforementioned pokemon rp took place. And in the long run, I'd kind of like to forget about it. While some people there (Maelstrom, Dea-chan, Eibborn) were cool, others were assholes (BloodBunny, FoxKnight). Those assholes ruined forums for me, and almost ruined rping.

Original Characters!
This one... sort of surprised and confused me. But I guess it makes sense. I tend to only play my own original characters in rps. I don't really like using another person's creation, and I'm always worried that I'll get it wrong. The exception is Terry in T9.

Sabrous!
Ah, Sab! I haven't been there in forever, unfortunately. A lot of people I know on LJ I met through Sab, but for those I met elsewhere: Sab is a crazy fun MUD. It's a bit fantasy, a bit steampunk, a sci-fi, and all around wackiness. It's where my LJ username* came from! It's just... really weird, but really fun, and introduced me to an alternate form of rping then just forums.

*Oddly enough, Amred was a character of mine before I joined Sab. However, instead of being a 6'7" male ranger Sabrecat, the original Amred was a 5'4" female brown furred/brown haired dog furry. She was a run away who was part of a group of bandits, and actually kind of fun to write. She was really the only furry character I had that wasn't a huge Sue. When I was creating Sab!Amred, I noticed that new characters started out in a desert town. Since Furry!Amred lived in a desert town, I payed homage to her.

Ah, I didn't know that WoA had such bad associations for you! You'll hear no more of it from me! :x

Youuu should post those Pokemon doodles.

Ah, that's okay. My immediate association with that place is Mael, who was like my internet big brother. But, yeah, there were a lot of jerks there.

And I will! After I stop spending most of my time online on the most epic rp EVAR.

Do you mean Trans9? I looked at that place a while back and the quality of the writing there blew me away.

That's the one! I was never really interested in multiverse games before, but man, T9 is amazing. You want some writing to knock your socks off? Read this thread (http://community.livejournal.com/trans_9/22865.html?thread=2047057#t2047057). It's pretty long, but seriously, read all of it. It's that awesome.

(Helps if you know DC Animated canon, but even without that, it's still epic.)

YEERKS ARE YOU SERIOUS THAT IS THE BEST GAME EVER. YOU HAVE A YEERK PROBLEM HAOAHESHGOWETGQ

Oh man, geeze, that's incredible! I should stalk that comm more often, I might learn something about how to write prose. I'm alright with dialogue, I think, but I've never been much good at the rest.

Heh, I take it you're an Animorphs fan? I really didn't know anything about Yeerks until this plot came up. I mostly think it's awesome because of the EPIC SHOWDOWN between Terry and Tim.

Well, I'm not sure I could justify calling myself a fan seeing as I never finished the series, but it's awesome the way that game incorporates bits of different canons into the plot. The EMH and GLaDOS, too.

There's epic all over that comm at the moment! I poked around a bit, following Brainy and Supergirl to the medbay and reading the log in which it was trashed. It's all making me wish I were more of a comic book nerd!

I love the fact that we have the EMH! Voyager was my first sci-fi love.

Gah, I KNOW, isn't it great? The scene in the cafeteria was pretty sweet, too. And, to be honest, I'm not much of a comic book fan. I certainly don't know that much about the characters we have. But the players are good at keeping it simple enough that casual- or non-fans can get it.

Hee, mine too, I think.

Mmhm, I'm able to understand almost everything I've seen. Certainly everything I need to to enjoy it. I'm afraid I might end up stalking T9 a little bit.
