Today's meme was suggested by Stef!

We're closing in on the last few days until the game officially turns one month, so now we think it's officially time for people to get their kudos on and give their fellow players the love and appreciation they all deserve. What have you been loving on, pimping out, stalking tag for tag?

And, for a slight variant, share what you're particularly proud of this month with us. What EPs, private threads and slowtimes have you finished up? Feel free to give yourself props for anything you were pleased with.

Can I just say I love everything about this game and everyone involved with it? Because I do. <3

As for myself, I'm just thrilled at the number of threads I've been doing. It's less than plenty of people do, I know, but for me it's a ton. I'm having a blast.

There's been so fucking much I've loved about this game in the last month. I didn't RP in an actual game for over a year, and this was what finally pulled me back in: the concept and who was involved and what I thought it would allow me to do and the whole package. And it's been great. You all are amazing.

But I need to give special particular kudos to Ashley and Joy, who have been integral parts in working through a really difficult and often uncomfortable (and ongoing) plot with me, and who have been right there making it awesome even when it hurt.

One of the reasons I wanted to join this game was because I felt like it afforded space for some darkness. So far that's been entirely true and I love it.

EVERYTHING.

Seriously, you guys. My fellow mods, for kicking ass. Every single player, for being so enthusiastic and awesome. The variety of characters were already seeing and the meatiness of the plots we're already seeing crop up. I absolutely love the theme of this game -- the eeriness of it and all the potential it opens up, but it wouldn't be nearly this awesome without the players.

Stephen and his City Hall meeting. The Everdeens, being equally awesome in different ways. Jason Todd and his giant erect dildos. EAMES' FACE. Mike Pinocchio for ruining my life. Sam, oh fuck, Sam Winchester, for breaking my heart. BLAINE AND KURT-- I've got your number one fan over here in my brain, and he just hopes you crazy kids work it out. Fffffffff Russell Clank's mustache. Widow blowing the door off a train car. Merlin's undeniable adorableness. SHIT, I DON'T KNOW, EVERYONE.

EVERDEEEEEENS WHAT WHAT

BITCHES GETTING SHIT DONE.

Okay, I owe you people like a bazillion tags, I have P&R to watch, and an app to write, also two debuts, so... yes, I will be back in the wee small hours to tell ALL OF YOU how much I love you, but first I just want to say:

HOLY SHIT, I LOVE YOU PEOPLE

Thank you, thank you, thank you all for the incredible threads and the enthusiasm and the amazing variety of threads and the depth we're already seeing, thank you for everything. ♥

I honestly have NO idea where to start. The mods, for one, for doing so much work for getting this all prepared, for creating such an awesome space for us. All the other players for all their enthusiasm and the amazing tags. I've been doing so much more tagging around than I thought I would (because I'm a wuss and am easily overwhelmed) and everything has been so much fun to play.

I'll be back with specifics later, because every time I try and write anything at work, it gets insanely busy. XD But know I adore you all and am super excited to keep playing with you.

Everything is awesome. I'm just honestly taken aback by all of the hard work and enthusiasm and general love going on in this game.

Everyone is amazing and should feel absolutely amazing. <333333

UGH I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH IT IS RIDICULOUS. NEVER LEAVE ME.

So. Basically. Uhm. I love everything. EVERYTHING. And I feel like it's only going to get better from here. There are still a few people here I haven't had the privilege to thread with yet, but I'm hoping that will change very soon; I'm basically in love with EVERYONE here.

As for my favorite things from this month... Katniss and Prim OH GOD. So many feels. So much perfection. I haven't had a chance yet to read the Peeta stuff, but I'm sure that's only going to break me further. JUST what I need right now. Selfishly, I want more thread with ALL of them, but Katniss and Johanna's meet-up in the store was one of my very very favorites of this whole month.

Continuing on with the Johanna theme... JASON TODD OMG. How is he so precious? I almost feel a little bad for letting Johanna defile him already, but she's loving every second. SO. And Delta. GOD. Nearly every single tag of his just makes me want to wrap him up tight in blankets and feed him cookies. And I'm finding his burgeoning friendship with Johanna super super wonderful. I love getting to play a somewhat softer side of her.

Then there's Mike Pinocchio and Neil McCormick and dear GOD what have you people done?? SO TRAGIC. I love how Sunny isn't at all afraid to go to some seriously dark places with Mike and it still very much fits his character. As fucked up as Sam is right now (OH MY GOD SO FUCKED UP) I'm so strangely pleased to have had the chance to take him to where he is right now. (Though, holy CRAP, his brother can really not get here fast enough.) Other Sammy interactions I've especially enjoyed have been with Ruby OF COURSE because Carly is playing her CREEPILY well, like, I can hear her voice in absolutely every single thread and it is wonderful and awful and THE BEST EVER; and Merlin who is RIDICULOUSLY precious and whom I love already despite having barely made it through S1 of the show; and Andrea whom, one he is slightly more sober and sane, will probably get along with fantastically. CANNOT WAIT for that.

And on the Blaine side of things, well. HI KURT HUMMEL YOU ARE PERFECTION. Seriously, I probably wouldn't have even considered Blaine a months ago had it not been for how amazingly IC Di's Kurt is. just like in the show itself he gives me ALL of the feels. Now if only Blaine can get his act together... The boy's only been around for about a week now, but I've loved absolutely every interaction he's had with ANYONE. Especially Molly, whom he thinks is very nice even if he keeps wanting to ask her to sing "Blackbird" and Stephen whom he will likely NEVER stop thinking of as Ryan Gosling and Neil and Lisbeth and just- basically EVERYONE who tagged his debut. I can't wait to get him out more, see how many people he can charm with his slick dance moves and enthusiastic singing.

Aaaaaand yeah. Apologies for all the CAPSLOCK. I just get excited. :D

OMG I didn't realize you had Blaine and ahaha, I am kinda sorry but you know how Lisbeth is. His earnestness kills her XD XD

And how have Prim and Johanna not met yet??

LOLLLL. DO NOT APOLOGIZE. Poor Blaine is all DDDDD: but I am LOVING it. And I think he'll actually be really drawn to her once he's feeling a little more settled.

Well, considering Johanna was staying with Katniss for a couple weeks, I'm assuming they've met! I just suck and haven't managed to thread with her yet. CLEARLY THIS MUST BE REMEDIED.

You guuuuuuuys. 22 players, 44 characters, 48 posts, 2,573 comments on the main comm, all in 28 days. This is insane. I'm really proud and pleased and so happy, and I can't express to you how happy I am to have all of you here. So I rarely make an effort in games to do something like this because, well, usually I'm lazy and usually, it seems disingenuous for me to sit down and list everyone off and talk about what I loved that they did, because usually, not everyone has done something I've loved. Leaving a comment anyone would seem too fake to me. This month, this game, is so different. I have a message for every last one of you.

Angel: Don't apologize for Owen being a dick, man. I love that he is, that he's sarcastic and irritable and cynical to the core. I love that he questions Stephen's authority, because come on, someone absolutely should. Rather than being some kind of a caricature of douchebaggery, though, there are layers to Owen that bring something extra to the conflict he can provide. Also, how thrilled am I you brought Clementine? I've always loved how you play her, so to have her in a game again makes me so happy.

Angie B.: Girl, I swear, if you didn't say so, I doubt anyone would realize this is your first experience roleplaying in this kind of an environment. You're a quick study and an incredible writer, and your portrayal of Rose is rounded, thoughtful, and lovely. Your enthusiasm for the game makes me so incredibly happy, and I'm loving watching how Rose bounces off of all these very different people.

Ashley: Thank you, thank you, for agreeing to be a part of this madness. Your help has been invaluable, and agh, I'm so excited about all of your characters. Spike's deal with Mike is delicious and chilling, and the plot between Neil and Mike is... how do I words. It's twisted and dark and beautiful and heartbreaking and glorious. Hanna is utterly fascinating — god, I've got to finally watch that — and her thread with Jason in the sex shop had me basically howling with laughter, and I can't wait to see Timoney take this on.

Carly: Here, as elsewhere, your take on every character is thorough, thoughtful, and handled with a light touch. Elena's reckless sweetness, Ruby's biting humor, everything is gorgeously handled, and agh, Katniss/Peeta FOREVERRRR.

Christina: I was so excited to see you bring Cassandra to the city, and you definitely haven't disappointed. There's something enthralling about the very specific way she thinks and acts, and I really cannot wait to see how everything plays out between her and the rest of the Batfamily, as well as to watch her take on any future baddies.

Deense: My god, Dakin is a joy forever. His insouciance and the way he straddles that line between extreme confidence and hints of uncertainty barely expressed is such a fantastic thing to behold, a natural continuation from his canon to here, and I can't wait to see how things continue between him and Elena in particular.

Di: Your passion for Kurt shines through in every single tag, and it makes everything oddly heartwarming to read — except when it's totally heartbreaking. The threads between Blaine and Kurt have me shipping them harder than canon ever did, not because they're in any way out of step with canon, but because being able to see them isolated from the aspects of the show I didn't enjoy lets me really become invested in them. You never shy from Kurt's flaws, and they only make his virtues shine that much brighter.

Jessie: The characters you've brought are at such opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to the social that it's just fun to watch how fully they're both brought to life. Lisbeth's spiky, stoic personality offers up a challenge for those who encounter her, and though I feel a bit bad for Blaine, I'm still kicking my feet with joy over their thread. And Prim, god, precious Prim. I love everything she is. I always wanted to see more of her in canon, and everything you've done with her seems like such an absolutely natural extension of what we do see. She brings out a fondness in Stephen I love playing, too.

Joy: God, I'm so happy to be playing with you again. Johanna is deliciously wicked, such a sharp, fun, full voice. She fits in so perfectly, voice-wise, with her canon, distinctly different from Katniss but still sounding tonally just like THG to me. Her thread with Delta, oh my godddddd. And Blaine! Agh, bb, I love himmm. See my comment to Di. As for Sam, oh, Sam, I cannot wait to see what's in store for him, because, as ever, he seems determined to get in over his head and keep me on the edge of my seat.

Kristin: I cannot express how delighted I am you're here. Artemis is amazing, oh man. I have zero familiarity with her canon, but her threads with Stephen have been some of my favorites. She's such a great blend of youth and determination and a sense of duty. And I won't lie, I sometimes sit around and say COWS WON'T HELP US GET OUT OF HERE just because i can.

Laine: Everything. This is your fault, woman. You're the catalyst for it all, and I can't say thank you enough for kicking all this off, or for the amazing characters you've brought. Eames' joy in the unpredictable, Katniss' bitter distrust of everyone, Molly's everything, I love it all. The chance to play Katie off someone who looks so much like her husband gives me so many opportunities to make her grapple with her feelings about David which I doubt I would otherwise have, and Driver's protective streak is kind of heartbreaking and perfect. Everything between Stephen and Molly is maddening, but in the best possible way. He has no idea how to deal with her, and I'm having such fun with that.

Leah: RUSSELL'S MUSTACHE. No, but seriously, I think I'm in love with Russell. He's so... sort of no-nonsense but not humorless — in fact, the opposite — and I'm loving it so much. Plus I'm really excited to have someone to play off Andrea, which I have wanted since you first wanted to play her. She's so wonderful, and I'll be throwing Katie at her at every possible opportunity, so enjoy that.

Lina: You have no idea how excited I am about Leslie and all the things she could do in the city. There's so many possibilities, and I have no doubt that, as you always do, you'll hit on a dozen great ones I never would have thought of. And on the opposite end of the scale, Amy's debut is heartwrenching. Poor girl, always being left to her own device. I cannot wait to see how she handles it this time.

Lys: Ichigoooooo. He is strangely precious to me — strangely in that I'm sure he wouldn't appreciate being called that. I've loved watching his interactions with everyone, his sort of suspiciousness, and the way you negotiate the language difficulties.

Sarah: Jason is one of my favorite things in the wooooorlddddd. Actually, so is Natalia. Seeing them and Kirk alike in this environment is so great. They're such dynamic characters from such different perspectives, and there's something sweet about Jason and the kind of naivety he possesses despite the undeniable darkness to him.

Sarah H: I never would have dreamed someone would bring Molokov here, but he's phenomenal. I love watching him play the friendly clerk and ease himself into things. Far from being a figure of suspicion, he's charming, just as he should be, and the balance between what he says and what he conceals is so much fun to watch.

Sarahk: Merlin! I did not expect to be excited about him, because I have not seen one single episode of his canon. In fact, I've never had any interest in his canon whatsoever, but from the moment I read your app to seeing him playing off everyone in his debut, I've been kind of enthralled by him. I really cannot wait to see what's in store for him, as he learns how to handle this new world.

Scott: Katherine, my god. She's a vamp in every possible sense of the word, and I'm adoring everything you've done with her. Her thread with Delta was one of my absolute favorite things in the group debut, and I can't wait to play Eden off of her or see her face off with Elena or Spike. She's such a rich character to bring, dark but fun, and there's a real sense of whimsy to her I love.

Shane: Not one, but two classic heroines? You masochist, you. But seriously, you nail it in every tag. Every word of Buffy's narrative just sounds like her, and there's something delightfully casual about how it reads. It's just so naturally written and fun and funny, without sacrificing all she's been through. And Sydney, gah, one of my favorite TV heroines ever, and you have her down to an art already. The quintessential sweetness and compassion of Sydney combined with that edge of self-preservation, her ability to think on her feet, all of it — I'm so glad not only that someone took her on, but that it was someone who loves her like you do.

Stefanie: Me, I am awesome. See, self-kudos. But really, I've loved what I've done this month. First off, I know we've done something right when all of you are here, because I had high hopes for this game from the start, but I never expected this. I'm definitely still learning the ropes, but you guys make it easy. Being able to play someone like Stephen is a dream, and I'm having a blast with Katie, walking the line between her kindness and the fact she's more naive than innocent.

Sunny: Everything you write is so beautiful. You appreciate the opportunities for darkness here; in turn, I appreciate how willing you are to pursue them, and dive into the depths of some truly brutal but rewarding material.
Everything Mike's done has the quality of a trainwreck, horrifying but impossible to look away from, and watching Delta slowly regain his language and humanity, agh, my heart.

Tracey: Um, everything? Everything. Thank you for taking on mod duties and being amazing at it, thank you for bringing such a fantastic set of characters, and for being you. Lincoln is darling, and I loved threading Katie off of him, and I cannot get over precious Clementine. I'll probably be throwing Katie at both of them until you get sick of us, because ahhhh, I love EVERYTHING about these two.

HEARTS ALL OVER THE FUCKING PLACE.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ AND SO FORTH UNTIL INFINITY.

You are awesome! <3 <3

Stephen is a ton of fun to play off of!

<3x10⁵⁰ WHEN I BREAK OUT THE SCIENTIFIC NOTATION YOU KNOW SHIT IS REAL

efdsfdfdf Thank you, dearlet <3333333333

she protests me using this journal for this but whatevs: ♥♥♥♥♥

Doop doop, specifics. My brain is tired from work, so forgive me if I miss anyone, because honestly? Everything has been amazing.

Spike and Andrea's not-quite-reunion, because they didn't know each other that well before now. I love Spike so much and this thread has been great so far, especially with the reveal that Spike's a vampire.

Mike Pinocchio and everything he does. >.> Whatever, my love for Mike is well documented for many years and I'm so happy to see him again and to be playing with him again.

Sam Winchester and his adorable, drunken face. I love the thread in Andrea's debut and I loved reading his part in the plot with Mike and basically everything he's done. I'm excited to play off him more.

Adorable Clementine. ♥ ♥ I'm so excited to have someone from the same-ish canon and she's so adorable and sweet. I also love playing Andrea off her so far, as I've never had a chance to play her more maternal side.

City Hall Meeting. Everyone and everything that's going on in there. Stephen and Molly, whom I love separately and together. So very much.

Katniss, PERFECT. Yeah. Just... perfect. Every tag, every line, everything. And Prim is so sweet. I've loved reading her threads so far. And Peeta and Johanna and why are you guys all so awesome?

Jason and the sex shop. All of those threads were so funny in their own ways. Each one had something different happen and I loved reading them all. Also, selfishly again, I'm loving playing Andrea off him.

Rose Tyler for all her threads with Russell so far. They've been delightful and I love their budding friendship. She's played so wonderfully. ♥

Eames and Neil and their reunion. Boys. ♥ I love them both so much and seeing them together just made me happy.

Katie Marks, so wonderful and sweet. Another pup I'm just so excited to play off of and watch grow on the island away from her husband. >:E

Rukia whose canon I don't know at all, but I'm loving the thread in Andrea's debut. They both got right down to business, talking about the best way to keep everyone fed and it's just so perfect.

I'm probably still missing pups that I wanted to mention. So much love, guys.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

I am likewise happy to have rescued Katie from her husband's clutches. >:E AND I LOVE EVERYTHIIIIIING

MY BABIESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
