A lot of people would take this opportunity to compile a Best Of list... and I am no different. And so, without further ado...
Best New Horror: It Follows
Jaw-droppingly good. A wickedly smart throwback to horror movies from the 80s. Bliss.
Best New Addition to a Franchise From Far, Far Away: The Force Awakens
Good GOD I loved this. It has heart, soul, warmth and grit — a huge departure from the prequels and a wonderful continuation from the original trilogy. I couldn't have done it better myself.
(Well, I could have, but they didn't ask, so...)
Best TV Show: The Walking Dead
This was a close one, with Game of Thrones running a tight second, but its White Walker mayhem was matched by episode upon episode of zombie thrills. And unlike GoT, I didn't know where The Walking Dead was going to end up...
Creepiest Horror Seen on Blu-Ray: Sinister
Oh I love a good creepy horror, and this hit the spot.
Most Disappointing Horror: The Babadook
I don't get it. I just don't.
Best New Addition to a Franchise Thought Long Dead: Fury Road
A car chase that lasts an entire movie. How awesome is that? Not as feminist as I'd been led to believe, but still a thousand times more awesome than most other movies.
Best YA novel: The Rest of Us Just Live Here, by Patrick Ness
Get this book. Read this book. Love this book.
I didn't get to see all the movies I wanted to, didn't get to watch all the TV I wanted to (Ash Vs The Evil Dead and Jessica Jones being top of my To Watch list), and definitely didn't get to read all the books I wanted to, but all in all 2015 was a good year.
Next year is going to be busy. I've got the second Demon Road book out at the very end of March and the third and final one out in September. But I've learned my lesson, oh yes. No more six month publication schedules for ME, boy howdy. A lot of things have suffered as a result of this workload (that still isn't over, by the way) and I want to get back to a nice and healthy communication routine with you, my lovely Minions.
2016 is going to be FUN.

Since I have another three in the Bank I'll ded to the author as well,
I dedicate to Gemmy, for being amazing, you are the most amazing person I know and ever will know, I'm glad I have the privilege of knowing you let alone going out with you, I love you baby, you're perfect and I'm sorry.)
(Bye Soph...
Thanks Keiron.)
( np, least I can do.)
Harry: - lifts her off her feet and hugs her- I'm going to miss you so much when you're gone... I'll have no one to talk to again, the other girls only did coz you liked me.
Amy: thats not true. Youll be fine
...
If somebody could inform me the next time Ed is on, it would be appreciated.
didn't think you were still in contact with anyone.
(-Sighs-
-rolls about on the ground-
I'm so boreddddddd.)
(I subconciously made my animal crossing character into Chione the other day...even though i called her aria. She has a blue dress and white hair. I even made her wear an elsa dress i made.)
Yeah I know why I stay away
*just vanishes back realizing yet again Zaf doesn't exist*
*least she knows it*
*least she senses it*
*goes back exploding
(Someone really needs to take your dynamite off of you.
Do you still have your forest?)
(Was rocking out to Taytay whilst playing animal crossing. Yas.)
hello
did someone die?
i sympathize
I died once and it was'nt fun
wrong time?
Ok bye.
Hello?
Sting are you still here?
yeah
hi
Am i speaking to amy, sarah, aria or gemma?
Hello...?
Let's go with Gemma.
Hi i'm Gemma, their author.
Nice to meet you. ^.^
Hi Fabi. Do you prefer moss or fabi btw?
hi fabi, moss, carrots, or whoever this is.
Do most people here have a lot of names?
should i add anoher one?
stingrae is my main alter ego but I have some others too.
Hi gemma
nice to meet you too
so are all the other names just characters then?
We normally put the authors name and our main character, or the charactets we were rping with currently like me. Or some have all their characters.
Hi Gemma, Stingrae
It's be pretty funny if carrots were talking.
I'm one person who goes by either Fabi or Moss.
Moss is my taken name, Fabi is my code name. I feel like Moss suits me better, but I don't mind being called Fabi.
oh.
i dont have a lot of characters.
Just 1 really
Yeah. I have a lot of characters.
Lira Soul
Lucas Soul
Cordelia Bloodlord
Sebastian bloodlord
Ariadne silver (my new main)
Tsunaki Asahina
Juvia Loxar
Blair Beladona
Westly
Cam
Amy
Sarah
(I only really care when I'm roleplaying as FabiTC, because it's just sort of easier to address me and my character by different names. I haven't roleplayed in ages though, so it doesn't really matter.)
oh
i would say that's kind of a lot, but i guess it's not really when you think about how many characters Derek Landy has.
i will call you fabi, fabi, if thats ok. i like codes.
My late, great uncle used to say my name in the dictionary meant mossy. He always used to tease me with it. He died the day before i got my 1st cancer jag at my school, of cancer. I felt i owed him one. I was scared the first time so i missed it. I got it that day because i was getting the cure of what just killed him...
Christmas will never be the same without him.
I did have Chione Asahina too...but she died. I kind of regret it but what's done is done. You can't undo death.
(Well we can and we have multiple times here. No characters have ever properly died tbh. I think Chi is the first...
I'll call you moss then.
I'm sorry for your loss.
I don't usually get to spend Christmas with family. They all live in other parts of the country.
In some ways that's for the best though.
My given name's meaning is sort of debatable.
it sucks when people die and leave a blank space like that
i don't like killing characters because you can;t use them again without making their death scene meaningless.
And yeah, Stingrae, it's fine if you call me Fabi.
I like codes too.
i think my given name means messenger or something like that
don't really know tbh
That's exactly my problem, Sting. But you couldn't have the situation we had without killing someone...i was really the only persone willing to kill their characters.
I loved Chi. She was my first character. I welcomed Silente here with her and started Silente's welcome ritual.
It got ruined tbh...the boy i went out with for a year RPed as Blake Soul. They got married and had twins. But recently blake's author has ceased contact with me and wants nothing more to do with me. Which kind of stopped the rp with my characters as i had no where else to take it really. So she died...:-/
I've killed off characters before. Raeza in Mevolent Collaboration was the big one. I think that was the last MC chapter I wrote, too... And Fabi once. Alastair brought her back though.
I try to avoid doing it for the same reason you just mentioned though, Stingrae.
I feel like it's stupid...crying over a character i created. Is it?
that's unfortunate.
what about the twins, though?
not really. i mean, if you put a lot of work into creating the character, it makes sense for you to be upset.
I don't know what's going to happen with the twins...the last time his author and i fell out i said for him to take the twins but he wouldn't. I suppose i will offer for him to take them as his charactets again but i doubt it. So one or both of them will die in the hostsge game. I'm leaving it up to Soph.
The first book I wrote was about a princess and a monster.
The monster's family told him to go to the castle to find food, so he went to the castle and asked the princess where the food was and she took him down the escalator to the castle restaurant to get an orange and some cheese.
The first character I was ever super attached to was probably either Abby or Moss. Moss(TC) has never really worked here though. I tried RPing as her once with Silente, but she wasn't really herself.
Oh i forgot about Jesabelle. I always forget Jesa.
God i'm so bored if my characters and i'm bored of rping. I might only take part in the group roleplays now...my storylines have kinda been destroyed. None of them really have one now apart from aria. She always had one.
oh
so you're going to give up on them?
I've kind of wandered away from my storylines... I've been so busy.
I'd like to make Effie's wedding happen. She really wants it to, and she wants to invite a lot of people, but since I haven't been roleplaying her, she hasn't technically met that many current characters. :-/
It sounds really depressing and cruel doesn't it?
They bore me so i'm going to kill them all off or forget them.
-sighs-
I don't know what to do.
Maybe i had too many so i was neglecting the others which is why they bore me? Maybe i should start over and just have one or 2.
Sorry Sting. I'm a cruel person and get bored easily...
My boyfriend is probably going to see this in the morning and phone me to check i'm ok.
But i guess i'm not. I lied to him. I'm not ok but i'm as fine as i can be right now
you two could start a plot with each other
or me if you want
but i don't really know how to roleplay so yeah
i'll come to effie's wedding! who's effie?
cutting down on the number of plots might help
i don't know
This doesn't happen to me since i don't roleplay.
Gemma, you should sleep, or at least try.
Have you been on the blog before, Sting?
And my characters will come too moss. When they meet.
I don't see a point. It's already 5am.
if you say something that bothers me, I'll tell you so.
you should do something to help yourself be more ok then. maybe meditate or go hug a friend/family member and just not tell them why?
I'm listening to music which usually helps.
I had a blog a while ago, but then i deleted it because some people from my school found it.
Why? What was it about?
-i'm not going to judge-
Or you don't have to tell me at all
Effie's one of my main characters. She goes by a variety of aliases (notably Ophelia Double and Effrancie Devastine), and she's getting married to Rook, one of my other characters.
And thanks, both of you. I'll make sure you get invites when I pick a day and stuff.
I think it was Chloe earlier that said shw misses Star. Where did she go? Has she left the blog?
That's good. Music is good.
Yeah, she was taking a break. I last heard from her Christmas Eve, actually.
well, i turned random conversations i overheard into quick "snapshot" scripts, and some people didn't like that they were in them
it's not like i put their names or anything super personal in the posts
it was actually kind of surprising they found out.
Ah. I guess i could use a break too but i can't force myself to stay off of here. I just end up not checking it for a few days but if i was meaning it, i couldn't last 1.
oh
well hopefully i will meet effie soon
star as in Star Wars?
oh right
you're talking about a person
I try keeping a diary. It usually never works out and only lasts a week. But i've been doing ok so far..
Only like 4 days behind. I can quickly catch up because i've done basically nothing this month so far.
I don't think that's wrong, Sting. I have conversations and people in my diary. But it's my memories that i want to keep. So i don't care what others think
Have you seen the new Star wars, Sting?
-No spoilers-
i'm terrible at diaries
i had one when i was younger, but i filled the pages
I got a new notebook, but it was harder to write in for some reason
part of what i loved about the conversation notes was being anonymous and stuff, just sort of observing life
so once people knew about it, it wasn't fun, even though i could still write stuff without people knowing
and yeah, i've seen it
I've done sort of similar stuff. There was one time I sat outside my college's cafeteria, and wrote down random bits and pieces, everything I heard, into a sort of jumble. It was kinda cool.
I'm sorry it didn't work out for you.
@Gemma Yeah, I can leave for days, even weeks, but not completely. It's fairly easy to just not say anything though.
Msd, homework and getting ready for bed.
@Stingrae
Star is Star Inkbright.
She's really cool and stuff. :-)
I love new notebooks so much. There is something very inspirational about a blank canvas. Unless you have writers block. Which i had for a long time with my fanfic. Which i've recently unblocked. But i doubt people will like it because it's cruel. I'm becoming very sadistic.
Usually when i'm ghosting someone says something that i really want to input on and it ruins being a ghost lol. Basically i can't shut up. As you can see from tonight. I like being around people. My biggest fear is isolation.
See, I find that first word or that first drawn line to be a lot of pressure.
I still love new notebooks though.
My biggest fear is being a terrible person.
different notebooks have different personalities though
my diary felt like a friend and then the new notebook felt like a stranger i couldn't share my secrets with yet or something like that
i don't really know what my biggest fear is
i mean, i'm scared of needles and wasps, but neither of those is a huge, life controlling thing or anything
@Gemma that's happened to me too, sometimes.
@stingrae I agree about different notebooks having
I have nightmares, very vivid nightmares of death. Black room, black coffin and it zooms in. Then it cuts to be inside being buried alive. And there is this horribke tug in my stomacg and it nakes me feel like i'm actually dead. I wake up crying repeating over and over 'i don't want to die' and seriously struggle to get back to sleep. I don't think i'll mind death as much if i'm around family and friends.
*having different personalities
I have really vivid nightmares as well. Usually of people I care about being horribly murdered or something like that.
Sometimes I get a good balance, though, something that's a nightmare at the time, but then I wake up and realize it's a really good story idea.
Fair enough. I could see how that would work out. But my dreams aren't exactly wished upon anyone.
Keiron has a really vivid imagination and i described my nightmare to him and i think he saw and felt what i did...
He said "what did you do to me"
Which made me think i projected it onto him and he felt the same. Unless he lied to make me happy...
Sting, did i scare you away?
Might have scared them both away.
I'll be going to bed soon anyway.
sorry
i have homework i was procrastinating
i guess i should sleep soon too
it's almost midnight
Yeah well it's almost 6 here
-yawns-
I think i have you beat.
are time zones a race now?
because if so i'm moving to australia
Yeah they are.
Nah. I always miss the interesting stuff at this time of night. It's nice. Relaxing.
Sorry, need to sleep now.
It's only ten here, but I seem to need way more sleep than anyone else I know, so...
Bye.
oh ok then
*books plane ticket*
technically if you're under 20 you're supposed to have like 9/10 hours of sleep or something like that
nobody does it though really
too much to do
Night moss. I'll be right after you. Calling it quits at 6. I have a thing where i leave at half past on the hour. Always do it. If i'm really desperate, quarter past or to.
Lol i started off this year with 3 hours sleep and 3 hours nap and i'm 18.
bye fabi
i will probably log off when you leave, Gemma
since there isn't anyone else here
-nods- That's a good plan.
i usually get 5-6 hours or so which is better than some people i guess.
Saying I cut off contact and want nothing to do with you is a rather biased way to put it, don'tchya think?
thank you
i'm not usually good at planning
I have vivid dreams that haunt me and are in no way good but they're not exactly nightmares and they come in cycle. I have recently started dreaming again but they're not emotional or vivid yet. We'll see.
ooh
Im either going to leave now or pretend to be invisible
not saying which obviously
don't really want to be involved in a squabble between exes
No, it isn't.
Well you've got this planned, Sting. Unless you stay and talk to Blake.
hi dugglyn nice to meet you
bye dugglyn nice to meet you
Oh sure it's correct, but a few itsy bitsy details are missing.
I had an emotional dream the other night but i can't understand why. I used to have related dreams but that was months ago and i don't know why it came back.
Oh? Like what.
String, don't let him make you feel awkward. You can stay if you want. Or go because it's late.
Hello people
Goodbye people
Hi/bye Duggy.
Well there was that one that went something like "mercilessly dumped for a guy that was simply closer". All the effort put in, all the plans, just dropped because you got impatient.
Dudes, this behavior is not cool.
You're both perfectly justified in being mad at each other, but if you're going to have a spat, please do so through personal communication instead of making it the entire blog's business.
...
Bye again.
But that doesn't really effect the RP. You not wanting to talk or RP anymore did onviously.
You know, i had stayed up to have this conversation with you then String came on. I thought you had gone to bed.
Sorry Moss, habe a good sleep.
-brain failing to English-
-be warned about terribl3 soelling and grammar-
Whatever. I'm done waiting on a reply and i'm going to sleep.
Goodnight John.
I was attempting to let it drop after Moss's comment. If you must know what I wanted to say:
You know I'm in the habit of staying up until at least two in the morning, something I forced myself to do for you as a matter of the fact.
(Good moooorning ! )
(X_X ........
• didn't lie about feeling it, dunno what I'd do without you.
• I would call you... Right now.... But I'll wait until you text back.
• conceal.... Don't feel... Don't let them know! ( this is for me)
• big whoop you stayed up till 2 .... I've done that for her, and if she'd called at anytime during the night last night to talk I would have answered.
• yeah closer is easier, better even... Some people need physical contact.
• bug whoop you were dumped for someone else ... Happens all the time , be glad you weren't closer.
• no I wasn't stupid Gemma I knew you weren't ok, you didn't want me to help, there wasn't a lot I could do.
- hugs her tightly - please be ok today.

Harry: For now, we're not going to become best buds out anything but I don't see why I can't help you out with your lunch situation, you know until you tell the office and they give you a little food slip.
Rich: Food slip? What do you mean?
Harry: It means you can get 3 things off the menu for free like a sandwich a milk and a yoghurt... Whatever takes your fancy. It might take a week but I will help you till then, just because Amy used to.

I'm sorry...

( bye jack. )
That's alright Ed, I was going to ask your character for a favor involving his time travel abilities but I don't think that's necessary anymore.
I just had a really, really bad feeling. I don't know what or why I had it, but I just... It felt like something bad happened on here.
With a particular person I know see to be okay... But still... I freaked out a little... And I want you to know that I'm keeping an eye on you guys, just to make sure nothing bad does happen...
Also, peeps, whenever you get pissed at another person, get away from you device and walk around the room twice.
Chill.
Because tryin to kill each other is a baaad idea
Well thanks Danni.
