Hello NationStates Community,

I am currently looking for quality roleplayers and writers who would be interested in joining myself and Midlonia for the third chapter in a trilogy. Sound like an odd request? Sure does…but please hear me out. You see, in the last few days of December of 2006, the trilogy was started and was perhaps the most fun I’ve had RPing in a long time. With its success, a sequel naturally came, and was equally as entertaining until a number of the writers (myself included) took a rather long break from NationStates altogether.

The problem I’m faced with now is that I’ve always used the Blind Reflection series as a chance to RP with a larger group and meet quality RPers and I want to continue to use it as such. Most of my stories are solo or with only one other co-writer, and I do not want Blind Reflection 3 to follow in the same fashion. Therefore, I am looking for a small (2-5) number of good writers and RPers that are interested to join and take part in the story with us.

The first two stories follow, for reference:

Why you want to take part:

Tech levels can be worked around, but writing quality and experience is important. When giving links to previous NS work, please include a variety of different types of RP’s (not just all war please) as well as specific posts that you feel are especially exceptional if you wish. All applicants will be judged by the original writers of the first and second threads and acceptance/denial will be confidential. I look forward to seeing what you have.

Sincerely,

AND FINALLY, and example of how life makes you too busy to do anything, and finish anything. This thread is my fault, as much as life. NG is busy with school, and I'm busy with work half the darn time. But I put it here as the ending history of Me and NG's epic storytelling together. One day we'll finish it.
The Grummian Outcast (I wish it were epic...it is still! Unfinished between Northrop-Grumman and Me) (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=547377)

On a side note, I can never start and finish a role play on my own, its just impossible. I need someone to do it with. An example of this is provided above in many cases, as is examples of myself and others getting busy. Pay credit to the Epic Hero's now, they deserve it more than me.

Why you want to take part:
Because...you said I'm a fan. So I am a Fan?

No, really, I'd like to participate. But its up to you Steel, seriously. If you see my inactivity because of work a problem, by all means put me on the sidelines until something else comes up. I'd love to RP with you, and I am a Fan of your work. As you can see between me and NG, we get EPIC real quick. I think we might too, if I can find the time.

But all Kudo's to you, and if nothing works out between me and this, God Bless and I hope you get your story! :D

If you work 10 hour weeks and are too "busy" then I am shooting your character in the RP, Anagonia. I work 20 hour weeks and even Steel works more hours than that :p

A storyline once part of Crimmond's, but now disconnected and standing alone.

Why you want to take part:

Because I'm bored. And you can't turn me down... I'm your oldest ally.

Leave it to Crimmond to make a mockery of my application process. You are...DENIED!

Bah...I can't even do that. You're good. From now on, unless others apply who I have sent telegrams to, the application process is closed.

I'll get up a summary and stuff shortly, but in the meantime, try to look over the previous two threads to kinda get an idea of what you'll be dealing with.

Nation:The Planetary Empire of Londim
Tech Level:Started out in Modern Tech now roleplaying in Future Tech
RPing/Writing Experience:Most of my writing are stories I've been working on:

Afterlife (Tm): A story of Heaven and Hell which are actually businesses while Satan and God are the CEO's. However the Ancient Gods (Odin, Zeus etc) have banded together to bring back their business' as it were.

I also write songs. I've been RPing on NS for the past two years.
Examples of NS work:

Dr Who: A Doctor Calls (Episode One) (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=553014)

I've started a series for Dr Who has I'm a fan of the show. Early days on that yet.

Dead Planet (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=547667&highlight=dead+planet)

My last FT RP. Basic story of this was a team who were exploring a team went missing, an investigation was carried out to find what happened. It turned out the explorers were killed by one of Londim's own creation, The Kezarn, a highly powerful race who were created to help further Londim's empire.


Why you want to take part:

I want to RP with some of the older RPers. Pick up some more experience with some good writers.

If you work 10 hour weeks and are too "busy" then I am shooting your character in the RP, Anagonia. I work 20 hour weeks and even Steel works more hours than that :p

No no, I mean I work 10-hour days a week. Like, monday through friday is 10 hours.

So thats over 40 hours a week.

EDIT:

10 hours a work day, adding to over 40 hours a week. Gah, I'm tired.

Nation: The Worker's State of Kulikovia
Tech Level: MT
RPing/Writing Experience: I prefer these days to write stories but still enjoy a good rp with substance every once and awhile.

Why you want to take part: I want to rp with other experienced rpers in an rp that has actual substance and thought in it.

Leave it to Crimmond to make a mockery of my application process.

And that's why you love me.

Hmmm.... I guess I saw this a bit too late.

If there's still time I'd be interested in giving it a go. It's been a long time since I've RPd with someone other than myself.

I guess just let me know if there's still time and I can supply previous threads and such.

Good to see you around, btw. :D

Sooo... Стальной Бабочка your AIM still the same?

Tech Level:I have three timelines for MT, PMT, and FT, but I RP best at PMT mode.

Why I want to take part: Good writing is pretty much hit-or-miss in this place, and I myself would like a good cup of literary skill every now and then. Besides, I've never really participated in such a major RP on NS.

Sooo... Стальной Бабочка your AIM still the same?

Aye, comrade...although you'd be lucky to catch me on it.

As for everyone else:

THIS IS CLOSED NOW!

Lol I know I said it before, but this time it sticks. I'm going to get an OOC/Planning thread up for the RP today or tomorrow, but in the meantime

NO NEW APPLICANTS AFTER THIS POINT

Take care

Oh bollocks. I guess that's me out then. ;)
