LJ's sending out mass e-mails alerting users who have created/moderated community journals that they are, in fact, now considered "community owners" of said journals. I've been a member of LJ since 2001 (in fact, my tenth blogiversary is coming up in a couple of weeks), and in that time I've created no fewer than eight communities. A good percentage of them have been RP-related communities.

Does anyone remember spiderverse?

Or resurrex?

From the "game rules" of resurrex:

4. Finally -- most importantly -- have fun! Roleplaying is about distancing yourself from reality for a time and dabbling in the impossible. And, while it's a creative release, I cannot stress enough the fact that it's just a game. If you find yourself stressing out over certain plot situations or interactions with other members, I encourage you to take a break for a while. Lord knows that these things can get pretty intense, and emotions often run high. Our characters become like our children, and a blow to them seems like a blow to us. Though it's important to keep updated (and to post on relatively frequent basis), I don't want this thing to consume you. If you find yourself tearing out your hair by the roots one night, turn off the computer. It's okay. It'll be there in the morning, I promise. Take a bubble bath. Play some squash. Find a creative way to manage your stress. Then, when you're ready, come back with a clear head and open heart. If you feel the need to take some time off from the game, please let me know. I am more than willing to accomodate your request!

ROLEPLAYING IS VERY SRS BUSINESS, YOU GUISE.

EXCEPT WHEN IT'S NOT.



Also: 'play some squash?' WTF?

Of course we play squash. We're all powerbroker yuppies from the '80s!

LMAO. I got one for a Once Upon a Time in Mexico RP that Ally and I did eons ago. It reminded me that I need to go back and read logs of all the RPGs I was ever in because OH MY GOD comedy gold. :)

Um, doesn't everyone take a break from writing sweaty gay porn with some sweaty squash? I mean, come on, Kate, GET WITH THE TIMES. THEY ARE A-CHANGIN'.

And I'm SO glad you're getting those emails too, I was getting throwbacks to 2003 out the yingyang ALL DAY.

Oh boy, I still have RP logs from the Spidey RPG before spiderverse on a USB somewhere, I dig them out occasionally and cringe at what a drama queen my Liz Allan was, tearing her hair out over Harry. Good times!

....sometimes I miss it. Especially now that they're rebooting the Spidey franchise. :(
