Re: Aisy

[canadiandiamond]

You are a breath of sunshine and I miss logging with you omg. I don't know if we have in Phase 2 come to think of it, sadly. I miss your Paige, but I love your Felicia so much. We need to talk about the whole Bobbi & Felicia backstory we once spoke about, that would be a ton of fun to do!

(I just realized I meant to say either breath of fresh air or ray of sunshine but eff it, I like the way breath of sunshine sounds so I'm leaving it XD)

AJ

[xp_daytripper]

Player of Scott Summers/Cyclops, Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman and Stephen Strange/Dr Strange!

Re: AJ

[canadiandiamond]

AJ! You're another person I really need to log with more often, especially because Sue and Bobbi are very fun to bounce off of each other. Especially if they're making fun at Warren's expense. XD

My favourite character of yours is the one with the initials S.S. ;) Seriously though, you write them all so well and it's always fun writing with you and reading your work. I'm continually impressed at how you tackled such an established character as Scott and made him your own, no small feat in a game that's been running for almost 15 years now.

Thank you for all you do for the game, I very much enjoy your modly emails and activity reminders.

Al

[xp_daytripper]

Player of Artie Maddicks/Facade and Xavin Majesdane!

Re: Al

[canadiandiamond]

I've been catching up on memories on DW lately and I've read a lot of old logs, including some of Artie's. You've put so much work and love into him, it's really great to see how far he's come along and how he's gotten to where he is now. I had a great chuckle at a log where he helped Layla and Sarah prank Kyle with his phone back in 2011. XD

Xavin is also fantastic, though I don't think we've logged together with either of my characters as of yet, something we need to fix. I love reading their logs and I hope to see more of them in the near future. :)

Amanda

[xp_daytripper]

Player of Emma Frost/The White Queen!

Re: Amanda

[canadiandiamond]

I'm not sure if I say this every year when this meme comes 'round or not, but Emma is your character now, it's a done deal. Your writing is phenomenal and I love reading whatever you write with Emma. I hope life gets less busy for you, both so you can play more in the game and also in general of course. :)

Azzy

[xp_daytripper]

Player of Jennie Stavros/Roulette and Amadeus Cho!

Re: Azzy

[canadiandiamond]

Jennie is such a fun character to read, I love how you've made her your own. It's hard to write a character with such a different power set, but you have it down pat and it shows. Amadeus is also a great character, another challenging one to write in a different way but you nail him too. You balance his brilliance with him being a kid, which is much easier said than done, but you make it look easy. I look forward to seeing more of them both in the near future. :)

Ben

[xp_daytripper]

Player of Miles Morales/Spider-Man, Everett Thomas/Synch and Quentin Quire/Kid Omega!

Re: Ben

[canadiandiamond]

Ben! You're my favourite player named Ben in the whole wide entire game omg. Wait *checks* nope, you totally are. :D *gloria_estefan.gif*

Seriously though, thank you for being so awesome and patient with me. I love writing with you, even if I'm completely slow and horrible with replies (I think I owe you at least one tag as I write this >.>). Bobby and Miles' arc has been so fun, and it's really been pushing me to keep up with your excellent work omg. I'm also nervous that I'm going to mess it all up in 1,000,001 different ways but you've been so great in helping me with it all. :)

I love all of your toons, Miles especially for obvious reasons, but you play a wide spectrum of toons there. Quentin is a fave of mine, a character I love to read but one I could never write myself. I'd love to do more logs with him and Bobbi being snarky together (probably involve alcohol). I'd love to see more of Everett too, and of course more Miles is always a good thing. <3

Cai

[xp_daytripper]

Player of Wade Wilson/Deadpool, Clint Barton/Hawkeye and Jean-Paul Beaubier/Northstar!

Re: Cai

[canadiandiamond]

Lady Cai! Wade is another one of those characters where the XP version has become the Official Version for me, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. I re-read some old Wade & Sarah logs the other night and aww, I miss that. But I love reading anything you write with him, and need to log with you more for sure. That goes for Clint and JP as well, both of whom you write so well. <3

Chris

[xp_daytripper]

Player of Alison Blaire/Dazzler and Fourteen/The Stepford Cuckoos!

Re: Chris

[canadiandiamond]

I don't know how you can write characters as complex as Fourteen but you do it so well. I don't think I could even think about writing something that complicated, let alone actually write them. XD Alison is also awesome. She's been one of my favourite characters in the X-universe, and I really admire how well you write her. I keep meaning to bug you for a log, which we really need to do some time. :)

Craig

[xp_daytripper]

Player of Remy LeBeau/Gambit!

Re: Craig

[canadiandiamond]

I'm so glad you came back to the game, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your Remy in XP. I was a fan of your Bobby back in Phase 1, who's probably my favourite X-Men character of all time, and you wrote him so well. Nick was great as well; the I'll Be Home plot was just unfolding when I first joined XP, which was a great plot to read, and poor Nick. It was one of my first impressions of the game and it was a good one to be sure. :)

Da'mien

[xp_daytripper]

Player of John Allerdyce/Pyro and Jono Starsmore/Chamber!

Re: Da'mien

[canadiandiamond]

I'm such a fan of your John, and still have fond memories of writing him and Sam back in the Genosha plot. I keep meaning to ask you for a log with Bobby but I'm horrible about logging/writing in general lately. Hopefully we can have one in the not too distant future though! Likewise, I like your Jono, and he's a character I've never really been that fond of in other games to be honest. I'm curious to see what you do with him. :)

Dex

[xp_daytripper]

Player of Garrison Kane/Dominion and Kevin Sydney/Changeling!

Re: Dex

[canadiandiamond]

I'll always be in awe at how you've been able to architect and execute such complex plots as Genosha and The Dark Phoenix. They were so much fun to be a part of, and gave me an opportunity to write some of the toughest and best things I've done in this game, imho (not that what I wrote was great but it was good for me I mean XD). Those are history defining moments in this game, one plot literally marking the transition from one epoch in its history to another. That's no small feat, and I consider it an honest privilege to say I played some small part in those epic plots.

And then there's just the fun logs you have with your characters. Recently the ones with Kevin messing with Warren and his private club really made me smile, haha. You have such fun with your characters, and can run the whole gamut with them, from that to deadly serious and dramatic moments. Not everyone can do that, and you make it look easy, though I know it's definitely not.

Erin

[xp_daytripper]

Player of Nina Thurman/Domino and Hank McCoy/Beast!

Re: Erin

[canadiandiamond]

I'm still so happy that you brought Hank into the game. He's such a great character, and I'm glad that we have one in XP once again. We'll have to do a Hank/Bobby log sometime for sure. Domino is a fun character to read too, and those powers are difficult to use/write, yet you do it so well. I hope to see more of them both in the near future. :)

Eva

[xp_daytripper]

Player of Hope Abbott/Trance, Sooraya Qadir/Dust and Sharon Friedlander!

Re: Eva

[canadiandiamond]

Eva! I owe you a tag, whoops, so I'll thank you for being so patient and forgiving with me. ;) Seriously though, I love your characters and how much effort and love you pour into them. It's been great to see Sooraya and Hope especially as they've evolved over the years, and Sharon is a great example of taking a quasi-obscure character and making them yours. It's always a pleasure to deal with you, logging or otherwise, and I'm so happy I got to meet you through XP. You rock. :)

Frito

[xp_daytripper]

Player of Marie-Ange Colbert/Tarot and Kyle Gibney/Wildchild!

Re: Frito

[canadiandiamond]

Fritoooooooooo. We have a new chicken place here called Fritou, it's a chain from Quebec, but I drive past it every day and think "Frito!" instead haha. *random*

Thank you for everything you do for the game, both as a former mod and just in general. You support so many people in XP, both in and out of the game, and it's amazing to see how giving and helpful you are. It's definitely not unappreciated, and I know I'm not alone in that.

In updating old logs I see some characters who've been around forever and I just shake my head at how amazing it is to see characters like that. You have both Kyle AND Marie-Ange in that vein, and damn. The amount of growth and development you've done with them both is breathtaking, and you can write them being silly/light-hearted (esp. Kyle) to deathly serious/stone-cold killers (esp. MA). It's quite the accomplishment, and it's a pleasure to get to hang out and write here with you. :)

Gwen

[xp_daytripper]

Player of Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat!

Re: Gwen

[canadiandiamond]

Kitty remains one of my favourite characters of all time, and I really enjoy your take on her here in XP. I'm so glad that we jumped into a new phase which allowed awesome characters like her to be available once again, and I'm equally glad that you picked her up. We haven't had a chance to write together yet, but I hope that will change in the near future. :)

Jeff

[xp_daytripper]

Player of Bobby Drake/Iceman and Bobbi Morse/Mockingbird!

Re: Jeff

[xp_eriment]

JEFF. MY MAN. You are amazing. Your cheerfulness and good humor on the list always improve my mood. I know you have so many other commitments so it means a lot that you're able to set some time aside to write with me. Miles and Bobby are my favorite BFFs, and I can't wait to post what we're writing now, and then to see where we go from there. Keep being the best <3

Jen

[xp_daytripper]

Player of Wanda Maximoff/The Scarlet Witch and Rahne Sinclair/Wolfsbane!

Re: Jen

[canadiandiamond]

So I've been tagging old Phase 1 logs lately, and a lot of them featured Phase 1!Wanda. So many good memories reading those old logs, and reminders of how awesome she was. Which isn't to say that Phase 2!Wanda isn't awesome, because she is. :) We've not logged in some time, but I loved having Bobbi hang out with her in the past, and we should do it again. I know real life hasn't been kind to either of us lately, but hopefully it will get better soon.

Rahne is great too, even though we've not interacted much on screen Bobby things she's cool. I really do look forward to what you're going to do with her in the future, as she's such a great character in general and having her in your hands makes her potential all that much more. :)

Jillian

[xp_daytripper]

Player of Rachel Kinross-Summers/Revenant and David North/Maverick!

Re: Jillian

[canadiandiamond]

Jillssssssssss! My favourite XP lawyer omg. <3

You're awesome, and I miss chatting and logging with you. Because 1) you're awesome (as previously stated), and 2) your characters are amazing. Even though it was a dark and difficult time, the Genosha logs with Rachel were amazing, and great to read and take part in. You've done some truly great things with her, and I look forward to more.

I miss North too, and those fun and totally non-sequitur logs when Sam and him would cook stuff, hahaha what? So much fun. He's a great character too, and I also can't wait to see where you go with him. :)

JJ

[xp_daytripper]

Player of Johnny Storm/The Human Torch!

Re: JJ

[canadiandiamond]

Johnny is so much fun, I love how you write him. I really had a lot of fun with the logs we did together with him and Bobby. We should have them pair up more often, good ol' fire and ice, haha. I've enjoyed what you've done with him so far, and look forward to whatever you're going to do with him in the near future. :)

Kate

[xp_daytripper]

Player of Angelo Espinosa/Skin and Kurt Sefton/Nightcrawler!

Re: Kate

[canadiandiamond]

Kaaaaate. In reviewing old logs lately I read a few ones with Sam and both Kurt and Angelo. I really do miss those logs, especially with his old roomie Kurt, there were so much fun. Likewise, Sarah had such a good rapport with her fencing instructor.

You're such a great player, and are always quick to respond and log with, which is something I definitely wish I was better at omg. Your writing is fantastic too, even with how fast you reply, which is just as admirable; I could maybe be quicker but my writing would definitely suffer, but not so for you.

It's always fun talking with you in general, and I hope we'll get to log more in the near future as well. :)

Lauren

[xp_daytripper]

Player of Illyana Rasputin/Magik!

Re: Lauren

[canadiandiamond]

Illyana really is a magical character (see what I did there?), she's so much fun to read. Even though she doesn't have a ton of journal entries, I can re-read the ones you have there and still laugh out loud at them, especially the Google one omg. I look forward to seeing more of her in the near future, and hopefully we can get a chance to log together too. Her and Bobby would be a blast together, I bet. XD

Mack

[xp_daytripper]

Player of Jean Grey/Marvel Girl/Phoenix and Molly Hayes/Bruiser/Princess Powerful!

Re: Mack

[canadiandiamond]

Maaaaaaaaaack. You rock. You've single-handedly taken such an iconic character in Jean Grey and made her your own. I've know a fair number of Jean players over the years too, many of them great at writing her, but she's yours, now and forever. And that's no small accomplishment. You write her so well, in both her Phase 1 and Phase 2 incarnations, especially during The Dark Phoenix saga.

Likewise, Molly is just as much yours in my eyes. She stands out to me as one of those characters who's evolved so much over the years in this game, which is so great to see. I'm looking forward to what you're going to do with both of them in the near future. :)

Mark

[xp_daytripper]

Player of Melissa Gold/Songbird!

Re: Mark

[canadiandiamond]

I love Songbird as a character, and I'm really looking forward to what you do with her in XP. There's a lot of great potential in her bio, and I think her and Bobby would get along well. I can see Bobbi taking a shine to her as well and looking out for her, given her enhanced strength, agility etc. It's going to be interesting to see what you do with her, and feel free to hit me up anytime if you'd like! :)

Marlena

[xp_daytripper]

Player of Megan Gwynn/Pixie!

Re: Marlena

[canadiandiamond]

Pixie is so much fun omg. I know I haven't logged with you much in Phase 2, but I've been re-reading some older logs, especially the one when Yvette's birthday party was at Silver and Pixie's dust accidentally affected a TON of people. Sarah leaving a note for the toaster, haha, omg. <3 And they had a lot of fun logs too!

It's always fun to log with you, you're a great writer and always eager and enthusiastic when we interact. Clearly we need to log more in the near future. :)

Matt

[xp_daytripper]

Player of Billy Kaplan/Wiccan/Asgardian!

Re: Matt

[canadiandiamond]

I'm a big fan of all the wacky hijinks you have Billy getting into on a regular basis. It's so much fun to read, and refreshing to see someone who's willing to go with the flow and do things that others might find embarrassing or difficult for their characters to do. You write him so well, and his actions give others the opportunity to step up and have fun as well. I look forward to more of Billy's antic in the hopefully near future. :)
