The MISSED (RP) CONNECTIONS Meme

Ever had one of those great, really promising threads that died out of nowhere? Or randomly had a fantastic thread with someone you now want to continue playing with but aren't sure how to approach them? Or maybe you were the one who dropped, and you want to find out how your old thread partners feel about backtagging.

Whichever it is, here is the place.

Comments

[motherwellrules]

Going for that "whoops, turns out I suck at tagging consistently" option.

So here's the thing. My job entails getting shipped off at short notice to THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE for sometimes weeks at a time. If I have thread-dropped on you (and I do apologise for that) it's probably because I got a phone call saying "hey we need you to be on a helicopter in twelve hours". So yeah. I'm kind of all over the place when it comes to tagging, and to be honest that's likely to continue. Sorry. But if we had something going that you enjoyed and I dropped it, please let me know and I'll do my best to get back to you.

(The same goes for smooth_as, who I think is the only other one of my muses who gets let out of the box these days)

[ignoringjohn]

You've tagged another toon of mine, but after reading over your profile, it might be nice to start a working relationship with these two.

My job is usually busy May - August and I thoroughly understand getting sent into the wilds of nowhere - Alaska girl here and trust me, it happens. So, I may be slow sometimes, but I'm faithful :) Don't mind the vanishing act, if the toons click.

[puncheshitlerforjustice]

Also going in that "OOPS I FORGOT TO TAG YOU BACK" category.

Mostly because I get busy between work and school. Don't mean to drop, obviously. Sometimes I just miss comments in my inbox as well. I also have a thing about backtagging over a week, and I feel as though it would annoy people? maybe? This mostly goes for memes. I'm a lot better when it comes to private muse boxes and things, due to well... more open communication (Generally plurk or Aim)

But if some of you wanna continue threads and/or create some cr let me know. or scold me for dropping... that's cool, too

[silversprings]

I'm actually making a concerted effort at trying to get back into tagging consistently, which has been an ongoing problem for me pretty much since 2009 when I entered the adult world. So basically yes, I'm trying to reconnect with some people I may have dropped the ball on.

This goes for:
daydreaming (Rapunzel)
seacups (Ariel)
exorcising (Sam Winchester)
tiare (Usagi Tsukino)
denkou (Makoto Kino)
ferries (Botan)
crylittlesister (Yukina)
princessbride (Chi-Chi)
watchthethrone (Abaddon)
smokesout (Meg)
and a few others that aren't really prominent.

[blackbastard]

Jon here and Ariel seemed to start off strong, a while back. I'd be happy to tag her up the next time I see her in a meme, if that works for you.

[oceanicbutterfly]

So I've dropped a looooot of threads.

I don't really have much to say beyond that.

[infinitime_loop]

Hi! I had a lot of fun bouncing Homura off of Karen, and I'd be more than willing to continue anything we've got and/or backtag from anywhere, or kick up new threads on memes if you're up for it.

[joanna_mccoy]

Life gets a bit hectic sometimes and between kids, husband, work, etc (and yahoo being an ass about delivering notifs) I can fall behind, lose a thread, etc etc. so if you've ever had anything going with this girl here or any of the below...

drcmarcus
silver_deceit
faiththatfuelsu (quiet on me these days but willing to try)

... that you wish to continue or build off of, I'm always game.

[shall_we_begin]

Hey there! I've got prodigalwatcher and I just wanted to say how much I like your Faith and I'm totally good with hitting pause on them 'till she's talking again.

As for this bastard here, the stuff w/ him and Carol has been gold. I'd be very happy to build on that idea in memes and/or PSL. :)

[brits]

so i have this problem where i suck get overexcited and start too many things and then don't have time to do them all or forget about half of them or... yeah. i'm working on it! buuuut it's a process and all that soooo... if you didn't hear back from any of these kids and you'd like to then please shout at me.

please don't really shout at me :c

[ayoungboy]

;) ?

[notions]

you: sent me a really unexpected and lovely message after I tagged you.

I: went awol for a few days and was too much of a failure to get the courage to reply so late.

I've wanted to do the most belated of save and continues ever since.

[intemerato]

Hey! Hello again ♥

I WAS LITERALLY JUST THINKING ABOUT POSTING A MEME LIKE THIS

[spelucky]

-Because seriously; I am fully aware that I am a huge flake and I apologize for that. Anyone I've dropped with is free to come here and call me a big dumb idiot for doing so. I have that problem of having a short attention-span, and little self-control when it comes to the amount of characters that I throw at people at a single time (I am usually switching between like up to 10 different characters at once seriously it's bad) and then somehow I'm still always surprised when I burn myself out. Sometimes I end up dropping threads with people by accident, but by the time I realize that I've done so, several days have passed and I feel extremely insecure about tagging them again because I feel like a loser. This may sound like I'm simply giving people one big "it's not you, it's me" line, but... SERIOUSLY. IT'S NOT YOU. IT'S ME. It also doesn't help that my job is very tiring and my laptop needs a new battery so sometimes it shuts down when I'm in the middle of writing a tag and then I'm just like FUCK */Ragequits!*

....BUT ANYWAY! I feel like I could address so many apologies to sooooo many people. I'll just go character-by-character until I've issued out all of the apologies I can think of. Starting with Leo!
_____________________________________________

You: Pleasantly surprised me when you initiated a thread with Leo, after I wondered if I was bugging you a bit too much when I tagged your lady roughly three times in three different threads before then, LOL.

I: Ended up flaking out before the thread really even had much of a chance to begin for a really dumb reason (My extra icons expired and I always feel dumb when I'm left with nothing but inappropriate icons) -but by the time I rectified this problem, several days had passed so I felt too awkward to continue any of the threads I had going on with her at the time ;_;
_________________________________________________

You: Sent me a message unexpectedly saying that you wished to plot a thread out, which made me very excited because WOW A CASTMATE YES.

I: Replied to you- but then after my initial reply, your following message got sent to my Yahoo spam folder for some odd reason and I didn't realize this until several days later :<
__________________________________________________

You: Were playing a big burly man whom was developing a really sweet platonic relationship with Leo that gave me all kinds of feels and emotions and aaaa ;;

I: Ended up burning myself out with how many different threads I had going on at the time and, quite frankly, started to ignore my inbox for a few days as I was suddenly feeling a severe lack of inspiration at the time as a result of certain stresses :<
__________________________________________________

SO YEAH anyone whom I've dropped a thread with is free to tag me here and I am MORE than willing to backtag with you if you want to continue anything.

-continuing with Raven

[notblackwesker]

You: Are the only person I've ever managed to have multiple threads and consistently-enjoyable CR with when it comes to Raven (because he is a big srs stoic man whom only ever shows emotion when paired up with someone persistent enough to keep messing with him regardless, lol). YOU'RE AWESOME AND YOU PROBABLY KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

I: Have been feeling too shy to ask if you'd like to do something again regardless? gdi. (INSERT *~UGUU~*-ING HERE ///-__-///)

Libby | Super | OTA

[betweenthepanels]

You: Are literally like the only person who's ever initiated a thread with Libby. No, seriously. Pretty much the only person. (I haven't been playing her for long.)

I: Expressed my gratitude by not even tagging you back, like the awesome person I am. In my defense, notifs were spazzing out on me at the time so I hadn't even realized that I had been tagged my anyone in that meme until like two days ago. But by then I already felt too awkward to ask if you minded continuing. My bad :(

[hypnotic_patter]

I think this guy might have yelled at her for having an unoriginal costume?

[thechozonone]

This is to multiple people, but I'm also in the "oops I didn't tag back" category. I work two jobs in addition to working towards a degree (so close to being done!) and all of my RPing primarily comes from memes as I just don't have the time to put into games. Sometimes I get swamped enough that meme threads start to drop too.

I enjoy every thread I do though, especially since this is all the RPing I get. If I dropped a thread and you would like to thread again, please let me know and we can either continue it or start something new!

This is to one particular person: you randomly tagged me and we did two threads together. They were AMAZING! I had so much fun in the first just dicking around and in the second where we actually did a serious thread. I haven't seen you in a meme since, butI would be interested in doing a long-term thing because our characters click really well.

[sadandsingle]

First off, the general apology: I'm very sorry if I've ever dropped a thread with you! If I feel overwhelmed by tags or real life suddenly encroaches on things, memes are, unfortunately, usually the first thing to go on my list of RP stuff. Plus, well, sometimes I get distracted, tags go missing, you know how that goes. But! If I ever drop something that you want to keep going, please feel free to poke me, I won't take offense at it.

And my missed connection:
I had a few great threads with an Owen a year ago (around Christmas 2012, before I changed my journal name), and then you just disappeared into nowhere. I've thought about messaging you ever since, but I've always been too awkward and shy. Are you still out there somewhere?

[notyatsuka]

The Forbidden Realms AU Edgeworth I was tagging with before my laptop broke, then I managed a single tag before my laptop died again properly. I am so sorry, and I was really enjoying the thread, but by the time I had a laptop back it was like a month later again and I sort of thought you'd probably moved on. And this was like, half a year ago now, so.

Also other people I've missed tags from, for some reason Togusa's account doesn't always send me PMs when he gets a tag and by the time I realise it's basically 5 days later. Sorry to you too.

[truthsnomiracle]

Eberron, not Forgotten Realms -- the AU in question would be impossible in the Realms -- but I am willing to continue that thread! Here it is!

[danceoftheoracle]

I apologize to anyone I've dropped a thread with in general; Viola's voice is a bit difficult for me to get down as she's a very quiet and cryptic character who has very little lines of dialogue in canon. So I'm still trying my hardest to get a real feel for her character.

So, to address someone in particular-

You: Play the other half of my OTP ;;

I: Felt suddenly self-conscious about my interpretation of Viola and ended up not replying to our thread together as a result. Sorry :

[like_its_golden]

Soooo I was GONNA try and bring this guy out again, and I tagged around in a few places to try and hear his voice again, but then I realized that I'm still not quite 'with it' just yet. I think I need to canon-review again. -Which could take a short time if I restrict myself to the anime, or a longer time if I have to go through the whole manga again. -Either way, if there's anyone who still wants me to tag them back after I'm finally more confident with him again, let me know and I'll be sure to continue our threads once I've completed my reviewing!

[thefreedomreign]

I am forever dropping threads without meaning to. Half the time, it's because other people I play are louder than the one I tagged with. The other half is just me getting overwhelmed with tags and freezing up as a result D: Then, by the time I can actually write a reply, I start getting paranoid that it's been too long, which makes me freeze up AGAIN and just sdfghjk RP hang-ups, man.

Lately, I may have thread-dropped you with Vergil, Integra (persistent_humanity) or Jack Frost (moonguided), though I do still intend to go back to Jack once Vergil stops being so loud. I've been meaning to return PMs on his account, but that "It's been too long" paranoia kicked in. I'll try to get to them soon, despite that, but if you were one of the two people I was PMing on that account, I AM SO SORRY. You guys are awesome, and I love those threads more than cookies ;.;

While we're at it, going waaay back, the same thing happened on LJ years ago with toon_fairydust on the regular, and I ended up getting self-conscious about going back to him as a result. So if anyone I threaded with on LJ is over here, I am massively sorry you guys.

[sand_witch]

I'm a selfish flake and also glad that your Vergil is so loud.

Abbie Mills | Sleepy Hollow | OTA

[hollow_cop]

I'm VERY sorry for any and all threads that I have dropped with Abbie. I'm still relatively new to her character and trying to feel out some of her motivations, so sometimes (well, a lot of the time) -I lose confidence with her voice and end up scaring myself off from finishing threads. But I can think of more than a few awesome threads I've started with people that I simply didn't finish for one reason or another, and I apologize for that. There's also the reason of me having run out of my extra icons recently, which seems dumb but I don't like being restricted in my access to appropriate icons/expressions for certain situations, honestly. And I ESPECIALLY apologize to any/all castmates I've flaked out on, since you guys are so rare to come across to begin with; odds are if I dropped a thread with you, it was only because I felt that I was in need of more canon-reviewing.

I think I'm doing better now, though, so if anyone I dropped a thread with wants to continue, PLEASE feel free to say so!

[betterthanpanty]

Ehhhh, this is tricky...

People who tag Scanty and Medusa (vectorsnake) seem to drop threads more often than they do with my other three muses. A couple of threads have started with them both that I get REALLY excited over and then they just...kind of...disappear. So...not really sure if it's how I play them or what, BUT I'm not one to hold a grudge (because shit does come up, I get it!) and I would still LOVE to continue any old threads that Scanty and Medusa were in! No questions asked, no explanations necessary :)

[morethanalegacy]

Iiiiiiiiiiiii know I dropped the ball hardcore on that d_m post I made ages ago and that was sort of a mix of WOW REAL LIFE and WOW A MEDUSA GOD CAN I HANDLE THIS OH NO PRESSURE and me still sorta voicetesting her so I wasn't confident ha. haha.

If you ever want to get up to terribad shenanigans I'm down for that. I also just picked up Patty and have a Kid and a Liz(?) so if you'd be interested in that clusterfuck of fun that would be cool too.

also a friend of mine keeps seeing medusa on memes and whining about wanting to make a stein account for hateshipping should i enable that to happen?

[plusonesecond]

Hoping to restart some great connections...

I had a super-kind soul pick up a TJ McCabe for Anna a few weeks ago, and then I got what turned out to be bronchitis and I've been really spotty ever since. I've tried to PM and such but haven't heard back. TJ mun, if you're still out there, please let me know! Anna misses her badass colleague.

[givemethat]

Oddly never got a PM. Sorry you are sick.

Also, hi!

[mywillisthine]

Hi! I work in hospitality at a major tourist destination so I have days where I get home from work and can't face people, much less fiction people. It's not that I don't love my threads, I just have no more words to give. But I will back tag FOREVER if you let me. I'm about to do week old Hook tags right now.

And if you ever, EVER, want to make sure I haven't dropped, feel free to PM me. I won't feel offended at all!

This applies especially for:
Hook itsapirateslife
Cyrus mywillisthine
RJ spiritofthewolf

And anyone on this list.

I also have a missed connection! bemypal! I didn't mean to drop, I wanted to make icons and then got swamped with overtime at work. If you still want a Sully acts_scary you will have one!

Death | Supernatural

[apalerider]

I have left behind so many threads with him and I feel awful about it. Most of them are in his tracking thread, but I distinctly remember an open post on a dressing room that I'd like to actually reply to the intros.

Anyone that remembers him bopping about, I'm looking at you.

[debts]

oh, hey! i remember you! man, i straight-up loved their cr; it's good to see you around!

[secondshift]

I had a few meme threads with an awesome Neal Caffrey I'd like to resume. Especially given the events of tonight's White Collar season finale, I think there could be a lot of potential to develop Karen through her CR with Neal. Hopefully you're still out there?

[alleged]

I know we interacted so if this is directed at me, I am still out here.

[shinra_dog]

So I lost a bunch of meme notifs after DW did some update work, and then life ate me? Big apologies to people I dropped forever ago, especially Ienzo-mun and the rare Denzel player, I remember you guys specifically. :( I wouldn't mind starting some things again, but I'm probably going to be slow as hell.

Also, I saw a Rude around somewhere once? I don't remember if it was here or the Love Hotel, another person mentioned it, but I haven't seen any other Rudes around. I remember it was a smut thread and they had some really great icons, including some RenoxRude, if that helps? Would love to get some Rude CR for my boy!

[sayslittle]

No idea if I was the one you're thinking of or not (I have been posting around TLH and BS with this guy as well as Elena) but I would love to play Reno and Rude things with you because best partners forever

[creatuned]

I have these kiddos here:

Noa Voilier | strengthtohelp | KIBA
Shinobu Jacobs | upjacobsladder | No More Heroes
Seiji Yagiri | loveshead | Durarara!!
Taeko Nomura | creatuned | Coppelion

If I've dropped your tags in the past, I'm sorry for doing so. It's usually a combination of RL responsibilities taking up my time and energy, which then drains my RP drive and inspiration, and well... "stage fright" of sorts, especially when I get a reply that really piques me and I freak out over responding in equally good measure.

If you've dropped threads with me, please know I don't have any ill will towards you. However, if it's because you had an issue with my writing style, characterization, or just my RPing in general, feel free to note so in either of my characters' HMDs, PM, or my Plurk.

In either case, I'm open to backtagging and picking up an old thread if you are. A lot of times, even if I want to reply to a dusty tag, I worry the RPer on the other end will find it a nuisance.

[wipeawaythdebt]

Don't know why, but Booker here's been involved in most of the unfinished threads I've started, all of them having fantastic potential.

So if you're out there and you've dropped a thread with me and any of my roster, know that there's no hard feelings or anything, just usually a little disappointment because generally, I've really been excited to see where they would've gone.

And if you'd like to pick up/restart/build off anything you've done with me and mine, let me know and we'll chat :)

[thetiniestkraken]

haha...if you've ever talked to me through this account or my will (dogseverywhere) then i'm sorry. like. seriously. i get so dang nervous roleplaying :-( if you do want to continue something i haven't responded to, please tell me!! i'll do my best responding to it from then on.
