Get out there and vote!

I'm involved in the Round Robin Legacy, which is the brainchild of [livejournal.com profile] laridian. We're currently on generation 3, and the most recent update, Generation 3: Interview with the Vampire of the Damned, was just recently posted by [livejournal.com profile] music_simbol. Previous posts were by [livejournal.com profile] madame_ugly and [livejournal.com profile] laridian, and are listed on the main page (link above).

There's a heir poll for the next round and it's still open, so feel free to weigh in. As it is with any voting process, it's my job to just bring you to the polls, not to influence your vote. I'll do that next round, when I'm the one who'll be saddled with the heir... then the campaigning will start. *snicker* I'd like to mention that Claudia and Armand have the most alien genetics, though, so choose wisely. (Read: I want those alien genetics.)

All this polling has gotten me into a poll-making mood. I've never made a livejournal poll before, so I've decided to try one.






Chapter 28 will feature updates on all the college kids, covering the same period of time, but I'm going to do them by individual (or group). I've decided that I'm going to let you decide the order of these parts.


[Poll #1269683]


There'll also be a section with Vidcund traveling to Veronaville, but I'm going to leave that one for the very end, I think, so it's not an option. This is going to be a long chapter, but since it all takes place in the same period of time, it makes more sense that way. Each will show events from that final year of college, but from different points of view (with some overlap).

If only the federal election were this much fun. My options are limited to an evil robot (Harper), a flakey nerd (Dion), or throwing my vote away (everything else). *sigh* Fun times. Looks like I'll be voting defensively yet again, since nobody really wants to be ruled over by an evil robot.

In other news, I have exceeded my bandwidth for this month with Photobucket. While this is sort of exciting (and no doubt the result of my [livejournal.com profile] simtorytellers interview and that awesome Tank/Frances secret at [livejournal.com profile] simsecret), I feel lost without my banner there. Since it's just one day, I'm going to hold out, but if it happens next month, I'm going to consider an upgrade.



ETA: I obviously fail at making polls, since you shouldn't be able to pick more than one answer, but oh well... you can pick more than one if you like. The results should still make sense.

For some strange reason, I really want to see Stella and Jayne. I think that's the one end that's the most dangly. I want to see Jayne's reaction to everything, even if I don't really like her at all.

And the trio of course! But I can wait for them. Honestly, the order doesn't really matter all that much to me, as long as they all get in there.

Yeah, I know. I really haven't gotten back to them at all yet. I'll be following up on that.

That chapter could work with any number of orders, but I like what I'm seeing so far. Frances going first would be a good thing, since he has the least to do with the plottier side of what's going to happen. He's off doing his own thing, more or less.

Like I said, any order is cool really. As long as everyone gets in that is.

Also, I'm on my toes for more Buck/Jill stuff. I MISS them. I didn't even realize it until lately that I really adore them. I've got some sketches of Jill, but I still have to scan them in and kind of make 'em nicer. So hopefully I'll be able to give you more of that soon.

I'd like to do more Buck and Jill too, and I'll be fitting them in here and there with the older college kid chapters.

Ooh, that sounds good. I can't wait to see them. :) There'll be some scenes in the Fine Arts building in the Frances section of chapter 28, so some new Jill paintings would be good for that.

I'm working on a portrait of Beau posing as St. Sebastian for that scene too. It should be fun to do. Sure, it's referencing something that maybe doesn't exist in the sim world, but I couldn't resist. I did a project with Saints like that while I was in art school.
