x_projectYou Might Be a X-Project Fan If...
- you are unable to walk past your computer without checking the game, despite having checked it five minutes before
- you get a nosebleed and tell people you over strained your powers
- you shudder when you hear the word empathy
- flipping through your old comics, you think, "Hey, why is Amanda's hair blond? Are they in Asgard again?"
- you get depressed when your favorite character leaves the game
- you laugh when anyone mentions chocolate, socks or Dr. Phil
- you don't understand why Havok/Sunfire isn't a popular slash pairing
- you've considered writing a ship manifesto on Kitty Pryde and Jamie Madrox
- or on Doug Ramsey and Marie-Ange Colbert
- you find yourself extolling the virtues of Dazzler to your friends
- and see nothing wrong with this
- you've tried explaining X-Project to people who've never heard of it
- and mostly succeeded, except that they're convinced it's some kind of cult
- "What do you mean, Cannonball never dated Dazzler?"
- you mourned for Frank the lizard
- you squee out loud when a player slips a clever line you recognize from comics/movie into a log
- you quote X-Project
- you can't believe the comics writers keep ignoring Remy's crush on Lorna
- you like an X-project character more than their canon counterpart
- you think, "What's Jamie doing on Buffy?"
- you pick up the latest X-Men and think, "Where's Jetstream?"
- you read the old New Mutants and are disappointed to learn Cypher and Tarot never dated. And what do you mean, Mirage wasn't pregnant? Damn comics writers, screwing with X-Project continuity!
- when engaged in a debate about the best X-Men writers, you blurt out an XP writer
- and are surprised when everyone doesn't agree
- you hear such-and-such a writer is leaving a X-book and your first thought is, "Please let (Cable's, Amanda's, Juggernaut's) writer replace them!"
- you accept that Nathan has had major plastic surgery at least twice ;)

Date: 2005-11-09 07:38 pm (UTC)Hysterical shriek: "There's more written about them than most of the pairings on here!"
"It's all by the same two people."
"So!"
But, man, X-Project meta would be so cool.

Bad, wrong thought...
Date: 2005-11-09 08:04 pm (UTC)Oh, God: Angie/Shiro (they fight because they love each other!). Alison/Betsy (they had a mind-link, I remember, and all the other mind-link couples are doing it). Haroun/Sam rival!slash! And... (wait for it, wait for it)-
Cain/Remy and the Boathouse of Love. OTP, man.

Date: 2005-11-09 08:15 pm (UTC)oh good! I'm not the only one who thought of this! I'm just too chickenshit to mention it to either of their players for fear they'd DO it!

Date: 2005-11-09 08:24 pm (UTC)I've said it before, as it's one those mental images that just hurts and hurts and won't stop until you tell somebody. I believe it was Remy's player who told me, "That's just so very, very wrong..." Heh...

I've run a fanfic archive before... I already have the code, and access to the X_P website...
-shifty look-

*stern*

And hey, we've had art before - the whole Brood plot came with pictures. :)
Re: Bad, wrong thought...
Date: 2005-11-09 10:38 pm (UTC)Well, we need a website to put it on. For convenient reference. (I'd forgotten that. *facepalms* It was so cool, too.)

Date: 2005-11-10 03:37 pm (UTC)Of course, the thing is that it's a fanfiction archive. And we're the players not the fans. So really...*eyes hapless fan community* they're the ones who should be filling it.
Re: Bad, wrong thought...
Date: 2005-11-10 09:23 pm (UTC)This is a really good point. Although I think by that theory, anything we wrote about our own characters (the 2015 series, frex) would not be fanfic and couldn't go up, but the drabbles that get written about other people's characters would be... Personally, I think we should just post everything.

Re: Bad, wrong thought...
Date: 2005-11-10 01:54 am (UTC)It must be done, so that I can thwomp people.
Re: Bad, wrong thought...
