Title: Strokes of Genius!
Description: The best of in-character posts :)

OK, this is just an idea, but I've seen it done on another site and it was good fun! It means that if someone doesn't have time to see all the threads, but they see something they like here, they can go check out the thread in question. Also ego-mania is fun!

If it's not good for here, I'll only be mildly distraught when it's taken down ;)
    The aim of the game:
    The idea is to post little snippets of great writing from the threads that you're in or reading, it can be something really beautiful, or funny, or poignant or just plain well put together. Probably some good guidelines:
  • No appreciating your own genius ;)
  • Don't post the same person twice in a row
  • No listing 'entire posts' -- take the time to pick the best bit!
  • Should be in good faith -- no post for a post :)
  • Posts should be IC

So, for example:
QUOTE (Brennan Liam Shaughnessy to Sorrel Langley)
”You may address me as Sir Percival Tiddlywinks Horsefeathers the Third.” He replied, not missing a beat even as he picked up the cards that Kane dealt to him, ”But if that's too much of a mouthful, Brennan will do just fine.”

QUOTE (Charles Shaw to Kade MacKenzie)
"Angels!"... He thought Kade was far mistaken in his estimation of beautifully coiffed rich women. Shaw liked a good look as much as any man, but he knew better than to idolise them really, they were people too, just hidden under a sheen of glamour that separated them from the best of life....."I told you before, they're not angels, they're sirens,"

QUOTE (Cyrus Crane to Brian O'Riley)
"Brian, I can't feel my fingers." he fell off the stool and the maid peered over the counter.

”Oi, Irish! You and your woman are barred. Out!” Yelled the bartender over the din of the brawl, to which he gave pause between punches. His woman? Since when was that mouthy peacock his woman?


Does mouthy peacock make anyone else giggle?

QUOTE (Charles Shaw- On hiding under a boat)
He had liked that particular fact. Every time he'd been homeless he'd told himself a hermit crab wouldn't complain. If some little sea animal -- whatever kind they were, he supposed crabs had to be the world's wonkiest looking fish -- could get on with it and find a new shell, then so could he, even on the worst of his days.


Wonky fish. XD That is all.
