20 years of X-Project - Marlena

[xp_daytripper]

Marlena joined in 2009 with Megan Gwynn, aka Pixie. She "rebooted" Pixie for the Phase 2 relaunch. She also one of our artists, contributing buttons and plot posters.

1) What brought you to X-Project?

A friend! Fondness for the X-men 90's cartoon and early 00's movies.

2) What keeps you in X-Project?

XP peeps have been a continual source of support to me through my life, from dealing with stressful events in my life to encouraging my writing and art. They are the best!

3) What's a moment that has really stuck with you that you wrote?

Lately I was thinking about the time Pixie went evil in P1 (alternate reality). The alternate realities are great fun.

4) What's a moment that has really stuck with you that someone else wrote?

Recently I re-watched the Doctor Strange movie and then watched Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. I really enjoyed the younger Stephen Strange played by AJ, I hope he comes back. I think about X-Project and its players all the time!

5) What is something about X-Project that you really like/enjoy?

I love it when people reach out to me to play. I always feel so included even though I'm absent a lot. Also, It's been fun to see how the game has evolved in comparison to the MCU movies. We come up with some GREAT ideas and writing.

On a side note I've been suffering from carpal tunnel + cubital tunnel lately. I've not been able to enjoy my hobbies including writing. :-/

20 years of X-Project - Conner

And now for our last interview, it's with Conner, our very newest player. :) Conner joined the game this month with Ben Russell/Shatterstar and we're very happy to have him. :)

1) What brought you to X-Project?

I actually found X-Project through tumblr and realized that I had been stealing inspiration from your wikia since 2018, having thought it was a dead game. I was so excited to find out that it was still active AND that my all-time favorite character had never been played. So I decided it couldn't hurt to apply!

2) (modified) - What, as our newest player, are you most looking forward to?

I'm most excited to get to play with all of these really dedicated roleplayers and to get to hone my skills as a writer. I'm especially looking forward to learning how to write combat, especially since I have such talented people to learn from.

3) What's a idea that's really sticking in your head that you want to get on screen? (was "what did you write that stuck with you most, again, doesn't work for you just yet)

I have two ideas that I really want to happen right now. One is the idea of Shatterstar's mother Rita Wayword coming back as the villain Spiral, but I expect that that won't happen for some time. The other idea I have is getting Shatterstar to do powers work with Haller. Tap and I talked about it and we have some ideas on how powers therapy could go down.

4) What's a moment that has really stuck with you that someone else wrote?

I haven't read the whole game yet, but one of the coolest scenes I've read so far was Namor's introduction. I thought it was just so well written and so COOL.

5) What is something about X-Project that you really like/enjoy so far?

While like everyone else I really enjoy the people in this game, I don't know anyone that well yet so I have to go with a different answer. I really enjoy the system of roleplaying and the organization of X-Project, it's so professional and it also is so good with timing. I know that this is a roleplay that I can keep track of events in easily, and that's such a relief.
