Ooo oo can I get a multi-assigned fursona please? ( @northwyrm ) (I kinda of already have one but I love this ask game and I wish to be Assigned)

absolutely you can and i'm honored you would trust me with this. as everyone should.

your multi assigned fursona is a ring tailed lemur with green stripes and wearing a cool as hell jean jacket. and it's not taking that jacket off even though it's getting a little too warm out, because it looks SO cool. also it's a vampire but that part's unrelated

Happy Storyteller Saturday! I saw some comments recently that Memento Vivre was played as a game, but now it is unrecognisable, could you explain the game-to-story writing process? :)

Happy STS, and thanks for the ask!

So some context for this - I write RPG murder mysteries for my friends:

In that folder, it contains an in-game introduction and rules of the game, a list of friends who were playing, a character introduction for each character (for character claims), and character information & secrets for each character.

The problem with character introductions is for characters like Dawn and Miriam to be compelling, you kind of have to reveal their secrets right away, so they had extra information before the game even began. Other problems that occurred were that the player of Jordan Walsh didn’t link Westminster to Aidan the way I’d intended (a culture clash, I assume), one of our players was new to playing and was pretty quiet, and two people had to leave part way into the game.

(And that the characters in my head were different to the characters that got played, but hey)

The first draft was pretty close to the way the game was played - specific insults like “fuckhead” and “shut your fuck” made their way into the narrative; john dalton essentially has a very long monologue; medical inaccuracies aplenty; just straight up listing occupations; a remarkable lack of character from three characters. There were differences, of course, considering I was writing a story, and some parts of what I wrote then I liked a lot - Aidan’s backstory moment changed very little between the first and third, as did Dante and Cassandra’s kiss.

But it got ironed out: Nate has a whole moment featuring a whole breakdown; John Dalton doesn’t talk as much as his secrets are forced out of him; Dawn gets a brilliant character, new and improved by me, and the throw away line “you cheated on me” now has life; most of the superfluous expletives were cut down so it now actually has an impact; there’s more, of course, but I could go on all day.

Only a few things are the same as the game, now, and one of those is Isabella’s death. To those who know, they know, and those who don’t - well, you’ll find out :3

Do vampires sleep in coffins? Hanging upside down like bats?

match sleeps in a coffin, hedge sleeps in a bed, and austin sleeps on a shitty mattress on the floor.

Harriet is a scientist from Bloodmood, a story wherein all the monsters in a secret underground laboratory escape and a small team need to recapture them. The story focusses on vampires (of the pathetic-and-undead variety), scientists (of the unethical and immoral variety), telepathy (for both angst and cringe) and whacky adventures. Trixie the fairy, Harriet the scientist, Victor the vampire and Secret Agent 64 are on a quest to recapture monsters, meeting unicorns, werewolves, goblins, mermaids and more during their mission!

this character comission belongs to @northwyrm! the summary above is written by them! please go check out their work, their characters are very cool 😎
