Talk About Yourself

What has been your favorite thing to write in V7 Pregame? Everything has been my favorite thing to write in V7 Pregame, which sounds like something of a cop-out answer, but I legit think that my writing has improved so much since V6, or even SC2 or EVEN PV3P, so, yeah, everything has been fun so far. But if I had to choose, then I'd say Random Reality was fun if only on a conceptual level.

Which of your characters was your favorite to write? They've all been fun but my favorite to write so far has definitely been Max. I can't tell who comes in second, he just rises above as someone who I always look forward to posting as.

Which was your favorite thread to participate in? Ouija thread has been a wild ride so far. None of you know what is going on behind the scenes.

What are you proudest of in V7? I've been a lot more ambitious this version so far. I've doubled my kid count from V6, tackled some (obnoxiously) conceptual stuff in Ouija thread and Random Reality and with the dual post, broken out of my comfort zone in writing characters largely different from myself with Max and Bert, and I've forged really good working relationships with many more handlers.

What do you wish you could improve? I need to take a more active role in scenes both in general and specifically with regard to conflict and drive. Max is my biggest shit-stirrer, but really because none of my other kids have any conflict in their scenes. I have a problem with letting my kids become accessories to larger plans and parts of groups not as leaders but as people who just get picked up in the process, and I want to change that in the future.

What is your favorite OOC memory? Pregame-Related, being in chat for Facebook was great.

What else would you like to share? Anything goes! Fuck tapatalk, CBP for president 2036, I get robbed in song contest consistently and refuse to shut up about it sorry not sorry, my soundclouds are here and here, icon change V7 start time, new aesthetics, new vibes, it was his sled, mic drop, CBP out.

[Cactus]

The Basics

Handler Name: Cactus

Hey Guys! (Your trademark character): Connor, Morgan, Ross, Claudeson and Ariana all have an equal spot in my heart and I can't say that one of them is my true flagship. Which is such a staggering deviation from my past.

Where you at? (Current Status of Trademark Character): Doing all kinds. Connor is playing truth-or-dare with a bunch of kids he doesn't really know, and is being crowned prom king. Morgan is having a run-in with an old friend that might lead to an interesting new development. Ross is actually free - which hey, that's good to know. Claudeson is manning the door at the biggest party of the school-year, and dealing with some of the biggest personalities to boot. Ariana is dealing with a duo of messes - a ton of splattered paint and the scattered mind of Tirzah Foss.

Most Popular (Your favorite character(s) ): Madison Springer, Wyatt Carter, Michael Froese, Alton Gerow, Camilla Bell, Julien Leblanc, Ivy Langley, Tyrell Lahti, Reuben Walters (WELCOME BACK BLAST), Jonah Heartgrave, Arizona Butler

Best School Hangout (Favorite thread): There are a lot. I'll leave the Facebook thread here, because that was a unicorn of SOTF threads.

Memory and oneshot threads: The Gift My Father Gave Me, The Afternoon of August 12th, 2017, Teen Idle, and probably tops among all of them: Wanderlust. All for different reasons but those threads all illustrate some of the people who really surprised me with how poignant their stories were. Not because they aren't talented writers, but because it took me by surprise.

Standard threads (sans my involvement): We Gonna Do The Basic Steps, Trapped in the Bathroom: Chapter 173 [1080p], Heart's Dice, Let Me Borrow That Top, Animal Magnetism, and Let There Be A New Cult Every Day


The Scrawlings

Class Clown (those who tickled your funny bone): Michael Froese. Kermit, you're funny. I think your humour is going to be a real weapon for you for both good and evil in your life, and that comes out well when you write Michael without really trying to. If that makes any sense.

Class Sweetheart (Girl and/or Guy known for being a real nice guy/gal): Nobody is nicer than Jonah Heartgrave. Nobody.

Best Dressed: Tristan O'Hara

Most Likely to be President: Alton Gerow.

Most Likely to End up in Jail: Also Alton Gerow. Tyrell Lahti, or Lorenzo Tavares.

Most Likely to Succeed: Connor Lorenzen or Sierra Cook.

Biggest Meanie: Max Rudolph.

Class Flirt: I dunno. No one really fits the bill. Maybe Lorenzo Tavares? He's very aggressive.

Most Dramatic: Ivy Langley, Madison Springer, Myles Roux.

Most Unorthodox/Original Character: The most unorthodox character for me is our class president, Nathan Coleman. Ricky's managed to tackle a character that's a tough one to write and he's done with class and dignity.

Most Realistically-Portrayed Character: I've really enjoyed watching Camilla Bell do her thing. She's so uncomfortable in social situations and it shows, which is a problem that we run into sometimes here - sometimes our weird antisocial kids are still social to a degree. She's written to be awkward and weird enough but is still an enjoyable read.

Most-likely to win in a Battle Royal (Take an early shot. Who do you think will win?): Me. I'm going for the two-fer.

No. I'm not. I don't know. Impossible to say. One of the big guys. Tyrell or Wyatt or Connor. They're all over 6'5". LARGE AND IN CHARGE.


Yearbook Quotes

Which character do you relate to the most? Ross Miller. A cop-out answer maybe, but he's basically a carbon copy of me aged backwards fifteen years and written with the benefit of hindsight. That isn't mine?

Which character do you feel the most for? Julien Leblanc seems misunderstood. I feel really bad for Bret Carter, because he's being betrayed by the two people he thinks are his closest allies.

Which character are you cheering on to win SOTF? Madison Springer, Henry Sparks, Michael Froese, and because I'd love to read a longform epilogue thing from their handlers, Alexander Brooke or Demetri Fuscher. (This is where boogie and Cicada wince because I've called out as being a fan of theirs)

Which character do you think has it coming? Myles is a little shithead. Demetri too. I think if Alton makes game, he's pure evil - so him. I ALSO FORGOT ABOUT MAX. And Misty, she hexed Ariana. Like, c'mon.

Quick; Final Four for V7 - who's it gonna be? Fully biased, I want to see Gifts 2: Presents. Tyrell vs. Bret vs. Wyatt vs. Claudeson. IT COULD BE A SHOWDOWN, FOLKS.


Margin Scribbles

Most Emotionally Moving Scene: Wanderlust really got to me and it all boiled down to the fact that I looked at that good, pure part of Tyrell and couldn't see it in me and that upset me for all sorts of different reasons. I haven't had a piece of writing do that to me before, feeling happiness, sadness, anxiety, and shame all at once. It was really good.

Most Humourous Scene: Facebook thread was hilarious.

Most Drama-filled Scene: I liked Heart's Dice, for a totally different reason than the question. It was dramatic for me because I was sitting here screaming "SAY YES" at the screen.

Most Unexpected Scene: I was genuinely surprised to see that Max and Misty ended up going to prom together. But of course, I think the biggest surprise to me was seeing Ivy and Wyatt actually hook up, especially after it was teased earlier on in pregame.


Talk About Yourself

What has been your favorite thing to write in V7 Pregame? Probably the two one-shot posts I wrote in which Ross and Ariana meet at a party, and the morning after they first sleep together as a natural course of their relationship. Those two posts are probably the single most optimistic and idealistic things I've written on the site since my return and they always make me smile when I read them back, and make me feel bad when I know that I'm about to split them up.

And Mystery of Love. Mimi and I planned that at the very beginning of pregame and I am thrilled with how it has turned out (and hope we can finish it off too).

Which of your characters was your favorite to write? Honestly it tends to shift back and forth as the months go on, and I genuinely enjoy writing all five of my kids. But from a pure enjoyment standpoint, I would think it has to be Claudeson, but probably not for the reasons people think.

Which was your favorite thread to participate in? Mystery of Love and Gifts.

What are you proudest of in V7? I would say that I am proudest of having five fully-fleshed out characters, none of which are evidently fodder or filler characters. All five of them have different personalities and small things about them which differ when put next to one another. I am really happy with my output for all five, and I firmly believe that no matter what happens, they will all end up slotting into my own personal top ten characters of all time list. I have tried to give focus to each one at certain points within the year of pregame, and each one has had a character moment or two that sticks out for me.

What do you wish you could improve? I would like to improve some of my word choices, and I would really like to get in the habit of doing an edit pass on my posts. I have the tendency to repeat myself sometimes, and a simple edit would really help some of that. Sometimes I wish I could more easily edit the cadence or flow of my narrative to sound a bit different between characters.

What is your favorite OOC memory? I had a blast recording the podcasts, any of my drunken Discord escapades were probably pretty fun, and I've had a lot of really cool conversations with a lot of different people over the year as I've gotten to know the various handlers on the site. The Kermit art was really fun, as were the various Wyatts that went on. The sudden and spontaneous nature of the Facebook thread was something I don't think we can duplicate, and that was super cool too. Discord during the Facebook thread was hysterical. Just coming back has been fucking fantastic.

But selfishly, for me - the best OOC moment was the first time that I publicly asked for a critique of one of my characters (I have tried to avoid asking for opinions for the most part so as not to colour my writing) to see if they were landing. The feedback I got was blunt, honest, and thankfully exactly what I was hoping for, and it filled me with confidence that I can pull off the things as a writer that I want to do. As someone who avoided any kind of creative outlet for a long time, I don't think I ever mentioned to anyone how hard it was for me to ask for feedback, and the person really gave me some valuable info. So thanks, person!

What else would you like to share? Anything goes! Oh, I have so much.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are amazing and don't you forget it.

Hot Take 1: The Tappening, while fucking awful from a logistics standpoint, was something that we as a site needed and I think will be beneficial for us in the long run.

I cannot believe you have let me win two songtests, and Oliver has none. What is wrong with everyone.

Most of you don't understand how good you are, and the ones that do are humble and supportive of everyone else. I think that's so valuable and why the community is in such a good place.

Espi, I think v7 is going to be your standout version. You've gotten better and better across versions and I bet this is your best yet.

The old versions are wacky and wild, but I think the readathons are as valuable to the site as anything, because we understand the mistakes we have made and maybe what doesn't work - but also what does.

Hot Take 2: the best v7 writing will come from Meanwhiles, but game proper will clear a very high bar.

Prediction: Someone who barely pregamed or isn't even on the site will emerge and be a real comer in v7 and we will be talking about them for some time.

Hot Take 3: Chad's gonna have a real quality v7. *sigh* Yes, I admitted it. Welcome back, you bum.

We're gonna have a ton of fun. Finally:

I have continuously said how happy I have been to return to SOTF after a very long absence, and the fact that all of you have not only warmly welcomed me back but allowed me to be a part of this community is something that's become near and dear to my heart. This community has genuinely become an integral part of my life over the last year and I hope that I'm here for a long time to come. Thank you, all of you. Being here means the world to me and I treasure every second, every sentence, every story. Let's write some cool shit, because I think the sky's the limit.

[Espi]

The Basics

Handler Name: Espi

Hey Guys! (Your trademark character): I have Toby, Paloma, Rhonda, and Johnny. I think Paloma has been the most active one and also most relevant in good stuff.

Where you at? (Current Status of Trademark Character): At prom while high, bickering at a Chinese restaurant, feeling unhelpful with her friends, and walking his dog. Respectively.

Most Popular (Your favorite character(s) ): Arizona, Lori, Beats, Faith, Lucas B, Jonah Heartgrave.

Best School Hangout (Favorite thread): Let Me Borrow That Top. Or Hell You Talmbout.


The Scrawlings

Class Clown (those who tickled your funny bone): Phillip makes me smile.

Class Sweetheart (Girl and/or Guy known for being a real nice guy/gal): Jonah. I want to protect him. Please.

Best Dressed: Ivy or Tirzah, just for handler effort to make them look the part.

Most Likely to be President: Alton is very good at talking to people.

Most Likely to End up in Jail: There's many people here good at bad decisions.

Most Likely to Succeed: See above.

Biggest Meanie: Wyatt.

Class Flirt: Lorenzo spends an awful lot of time thinking about sexy times.

Most Dramatic: Madison.

Most Unorthodox/Original Character: Phillip is just a weird person.

Most Realistically-Portrayed Character: Lucas Brady [edit because I forgot to specify] is very clearly a teenager in a way that makes sense.

Most-likely to win in a Battle Royal (Take an early shot. Who do you think will win?): Random.org says Abel.


Yearbook Quotes

Which character do you relate to the most? HOT TAKE: as I said in chat Madison's extreme reactions to people who make her feel bad are very relatable to me because I also do those exact things. Realtalk I bet if I had been in her environment I'd be just as volatile if not worse.

Which character do you feel the most for? Madison and also Lori. Neither are bad people but Madison is troubled and frankly needs people to help her, and Lori is good at heart but has a lot of unfortunate circumstances and honest flaws that make her unhappy.

Which character are you cheering on to win SOTF? Rugga won't want to win again so all her kids are doomed but I still pull for Jonah and Lori ;~;

Which character do you think has it coming? Well...

Quick; Final Four for V7 - who's it gonna be? Random.org says Arizona, Sean, Morgan, and also Abel again which is prerequisite to win so I think we've got a legit prophecy here.


Margin Scribbles

Most Emotionally Moving Scene: Scenes

Most Humourous Scene: Are

Most Drama-filled Scene: Very

Most Unexpected Scene: Hard


Talk About Yourself

What has been your favorite thing to write in V7 Pregame? Paloma throwing a flashlight at Meka and also the pun in Toby's memory oneshot title. And the one in Paloma's thread with Lori and Lyra.

Which of your characters was your favorite to write? I haven't gotten much chance to write Johnny yet, but I enjoyed his one post! Otherwise I think Paloma has been consistently fun but Toby is picking up for me.

Which was your favorite thread to participate in? Lo Mein Event has been a lot of fun.

What are you proudest of in V7? I think I've been pretty low-key in this pregame because I've not been very active so here's what I'm gonna say I'm proudest of:
'Espi, I think v7 is going to be your standout version. You've gotten better and better across versions and I bet this is your best yet.' -Cactus 2019

What do you wish you could improve? Activity! I need to do more of that before and during the island.

What is your favorite OOC memory? I have had lots of fun with the people on this site and am very grateful you guys put up with me.

What else would you like to share? Anything goes! Alton is going to start a murder cult and Mimi and I are totally onto him.

[Grand Moff Hissa]

The Basics

Handler Name: MW

Hey Guys! (Your trademark character): Darlene Silva

Where you at? (Current Status of Trademark Character): In queue

Most Popular (Your favorite character(s) ): Limited myself arbitrarily to ten, then realized I miscounted. Here’s eleven: Lucas Diaz, Demetri Futscher, Parker Green, Julien Leblanc, Connor Lorenzen, Ophelia Mitchell-Mackenzie, Nick Ogilvie, Ace "Beats" Ortega, Madison Springer, Lorenzo Tavares, Toby Underwood

Best School Hangout (Favorite thread): A few oldies but goodies:

I'm alright. I'm just fine. And you're a tool, so. plays a conflict in which both sides are fairly decent, logical, reasonable people yet set on a crash course for disaster very well.

One Way or Another plays around with the idea of bonding and communication in some fascinating ways.

Speaking in Colors does some fascinating digging into psychology and the ways different personal styles can clash unexpectedly.


The Scrawlings

Class Clown (those who tickled your funny bone): Michael Froese has me laughing when he wants to and feeling things when he wants to too. An excellent character whose humor stems from who he is and enhances that understanding.

Class Sweetheart (Girl and/or Guy known for being a real nice guy/gal): He’s back, baby! Reuben Walters was such a huge standout for me for this reason among others in early Pregame, and I am super duper excited for his return.

And, of course, I can’t go without also giving a nod to Jonah Heartgrave who is sweet enough for two, or maybe even three. Even when he thinks he’s being grumpy he’s actually being pretty decent.

Best Dressed: So anyone Kotorikun, Ryuki, or Mimi did amazing beautiful artwork of gets a huge leg up on this count because I’m bad at imagining outfits otherwise, but I have to say the single most striking for me has to be Cecil Salazar-Loveless. What, I like trench coats, okay?

Most Likely to be President: I would say Ashlynn Martinek would be held back by her overly-combative nature, but it’s 2018 so that’s actually probably to her advantage. Of course, the real answer is “someone not going on the trip...”

Most Likely to End up in Jail: Tyrell Lahti doesn’t always go looking for trouble, but when it finds him he certainly escalates to higher-degree assault charges.

Most Likely to Succeed: Dying in SOTF aside, Faith Marshal-Mackenzie has an incredible knack for managing various situations and friend groups without them ever blowing on her too much and without ever coming off like she’s desperately scrambling to hold it all together.

Biggest Meanie: This is a mean class but I’m going to give it to Emmett Bunnell not for individual magnitude of any given action but just for a generally grumpy, sour attitude at almost all times. Which, of course, I greatly enjoy reading.

Class Flirt: Everyone? But special shout-outs to Lorenzo Tavares and Declyn Grayson-Anthis, who despite existing on seemingly opposite ends of the purity-and-innocence-in-come-ons spectrum have an awful lot in common.

Most Dramatic: He’s slipped into obscurity some, but Thomas Buckley cut quite the dramatic entrance.

Most Unorthodox/Original Character: Twofer: Violet Schmidt is constantly playing with expectations and format while still pursuing a fascinating narrative, while Beryl Mahelona is all-out, nonstop unorthodoxy yet remains an essential and intriguing read.

Most Realistically-Portrayed Character: What I love most about Madison Springer is that she has moods, and they flow and change in ways that may not be logical but are perfectly logically illogical, if that makes any sense. Honorable mention to her boyfriend, king of the code-switch.

Most-likely to win in a Battle Royal (Take an early shot. Who do you think will win?): My crystal ball says Arizona Butler. My other crystal ball says Yuko Hayashibara. Who’s to say which is more accurate?


Yearbook Quotes

Which character do you relate to the most? Jonah speaks to me on a number of levels.

Which character do you feel the most for? A bunch, but I feel for Aleks Prudius having so much trouble with some social situations (especially in her current thread) and (as sorta mentioned before) Madison Springer for trying to do her best but not really consistently succeeding.

Which character are you cheering on to win SOTF? We have so many lovely characters who’d make great winners this go-round, but I’ll toss my hat to the side of Team Julien.

Which character do you think has it coming? John McClellan’s profile literally says he’s just riding it out to retirement. If that doesn’t scream “dead in the Prologue” I don’t know what does.

Quick; Final Four for V7 - who's it gonna be? My other crystal ball says: Joanne Coleman, Joseph "Joey" Quintero, Christine Summers, and Angelina “Angie” Cortez. Well, actually it landed on one of mine too, but it picked someone who’s missing the trip so that can’t be right.


Margin Scribbles

Most Emotionally Moving Scene: I’m a sucker for good chemistry in weird relationships, so nod to Sunflower Sutra for having a whole lot of that. I’m intrigued to see where things go for the pair from here.

Most Humourous Scene: Michael and Morgan make glowing stuff and talk Prom. Funny, real, and just that little bit awkward. Also, oddly enough, Parker’s found his way through a couple funny threads, in large part due to great chemistry between him and his thread partners; shout-outs to Hidden Information Problems and Perfect Forward Secrecy in particular for some great stuff with Nia and Christine.

Most Drama-filled Scene: The car slams. It’s a moment of pure, weird, unhingedness on both characters’ parts and that’s what makes it so real and so scary.

Most Unexpected Scene: Actually, I’ve Got One Less Problem Without You kept me guessing the whole way through. I didn’t expect the spill, didn’t expect the impromptu bathroom shower, and didn’t expect Abel to just cut out where he did. A great example of moving pieces coming together nicely.


Talk About Yourself

What has been your favorite thing to write in V7 Pregame? I initially planned to give each character an establishing memory one-shot. Four of them got those, and one got a present day one-shot that fills a similar purpose. I had a blast with all five of those threads.

Which of your characters was your favorite to write? I enjoy each in their own ways.

Which was your favorite thread to participate in? I’ve had so much fun in most of them. Each is more fun than the last.

What are you proudest of in V7? I wrote a thread with a sneaky trick in it and it took people nine months to catch on. I kept a straight face and said nothing for the whole nine months.

What do you wish you could improve? My activity has been a bit hit or miss. A lot of that’s been due to a somewhat obsessive fixation on helping with the porting, and a lot’s been due to assorted personal projects. Still, I like being full-throttle whenever possible and wish I’d done that more.

What is your favorite OOC memory? So many. This one is up there, though.

What else would you like to share? Anything goes! So, I love the hammers and they’re a lot of fun and I hate to be a debbie downer but I feel like in the past few versions we dumped all these “most” questions in favor of “best” ones, and for a reason. "Most" is a super quantitative metric and can easily lead to veiled potshots, while "best" is a more positive, unambiguous celebration. Anyways, I went with “best” for mine whatever the question says, though as always my mind changes a lot and this is very off-the-cuff-at-2-AM, so if I redid these tomorrow I could have different answers for every single question.

The Scrawlings

Class Clown (those who tickled your funny bone): Wyatt Carter got the most actual laughs from me, though mostly through the way Kilma writes his internal phraseology over anything he actually says out loud.

Most Dramatic: Lucas Brady

Most Unorthodox/Original Character: I'm quite fond of Nia as a concept, though I'm sure this isn't the first mute character in SOTF, I look forwards to seeing just how Fenris uses the communication barrier to keep things interesting on island and off it.

Most Realistically-Portrayed Character: I'm going to also give a shoutout to Lucas Brady here - You can feel the impact the Facebook thread had on him, and whilst he has flashes of his old self (Nerd Zoo), he's very beaten down by his peers, and it comes across well in his text without being explicitly stated too often.

Most-likely to win in a Battle Royal (Take an early shot. Who do you think will win?): Nathan Coleman


Yearbook Quotes

Which character do you relate to the most? N/a

Which character do you feel the most for? N/a

Which character are you cheering on to win SOTF? Many good options! I'm going to go with Lori as my arbitrary front runner, because she's a hard worker and I like seeing hard work rewarded.

Which character do you think has it coming? Many good options! Aside from "everyone I write", I feel like Wyatt has almost certainly the most reason to be looking over his shoulders...

If he can look over his shoulders. They're pretty big.

Quick; Final Four for V7 - who's it gonna be? Connor, Arizona, Lori, Reuben


Margin Scribbles

Most Emotionally Moving Scene: I haven't seen anything particularly tearjerking in the main run through of the version so far, but I will say a lot of the memories oneshots people have put out do tug on heartstrings very well, and I have to commend that. I feel like picking a specific one here would be BM.

EDIT: I'm going to actually submit Queen of Hearts for this actually because it made me feel good emotions, which is VERBOTTEN.

Most Humourous Scene: Ashes, Ashes -> Splat transition

Most Drama-filled Scene: close ain't close enough - Knowing that the two of them were going to bump uglies did not make the scene any less intense to follow as it went down, greatly appreciated that slow motion train wreck.

Most Unexpected Scene: Mystery of Love - Whilst it has yet to reach fruition, Mystery of Love took my expectations of the scene and threw them in a raging fire. The opening few posts entirely baited me into thinking this would be a relief scene where we get to see Madison and Connor being nice to each other and BOY WAS I WRONG.


Talk About Yourself

What has been your favorite thing to write in V7 Pregame? By The Pricking Of My Thumbs - It was my first major thread on the site, and the character chemistry made the whole thing feel relatively easy to write.

Which of your characters was your favorite to write? Luca Thomas is someone I've had a lot of fun trying to write, as I do not normally try and write characters with a large degree of empathy like her, which has made her a very fun challenge to put together and keep internally consistent.

Which was your favorite thread to participate in? Other than "The Facebook Thread", Parallel Punishment Procedures was a highlight for me, as we managed to piece it together in a day, as well as keeping it a relatively short thread.

What are you proudest of in V7? I recognise that pregame is somewhat me spinning my wheels, as the characters I'm playing weren't designed with a pregame arc in mind (a note for V8), but I'm quite proud of some of the subtle indications of where some of them are going.

What do you wish you could improve? Writing consistency - I tend to fluctuate between letting the audience figure things out, and openly telling them, which Deamon noted in his critique ruins the impact of the former. I will be aiming to improve on this going forwards.

What is your favorite OOC memory? Probably running the podcasts, they've been a great fun to do with y'all.

What else would you like to share? Anything goes! Y'all are pretty awesome. Thanks for letting me write with yah.

The Basics

Handler Name: IT’S THAT HANDLER YOU LOVE TO HATE/BUT AT ALL THE BAD MODEL BITCHES THEY WANNA DATE/Y’ALL NEED TO CHECK MY SWAG AND GET UP TO DATE/SAID CHECK MY SWAG AND GET UP TO DATE!

Er…*cough*...It’s Chad.

Just Chad.

Hey Guys! (Your trademark character): Ace Beats

Where you at? (Current Status of Trademark Character): Currently at prom tripping because he’s never been on a date before and also at Swiftball tripping because he’s never done ecstasy before.

Most Popular (Your favorite character(s) ): Wyatt, Maddison, Connor, Bret, Misty, Lori, Meilin and Desiree all stand outs for me for different reasons!


Best School Hangout (Favorite thread): It’s crazy, it’s unwieldy, there’s a bunch of characters and too much shit going on...

But I’ve enjoyed #Swiftball immensely and I think Just Dance has had exactly the chaotic fun and collaboration that makes this medium of post by post RPing truly magical. The product isn’t always cohesive, but I think groups having fun together both OOC and IC is good times. So let ‘em keep rolling!

The Scrawlings

Class Clown (those who tickled your funny bone): MK reveals his wrasslin’ background everytime he writes as Wyatt. I ain’t no mark so I kind of see the commentary (or interplay my own) as opposed to the actions and I see a lot of his value coming not from his characterization per say but the reactions he provokes ICly and OOCly.

A little Thad from Blue Mountain State meets Logan Paul with a little Alex Jones sprinkled in for flavor. I’m about the douchey Carter twin.

Class Sweetheart (Girl and/or Guy known for being a real nice guy/gal): Considering the two threads I’ve done with her are super cavity inducing, I gotta go with Meilin. There’s something earnest and honest in the way Blizz writes that I think is a benefit of her age, but there’s also a skill and competence that is beyond her years. Been very good for me to get back on the horse RPing with a character as nice and sweet as Meilin and it does good to stoke my nostalgia to be writing with someone the same age (but so, so, so much better) than I was when I began SOTF.

Best Dressed: The Prom threads have errybody flexin’, I’m going with the safe choice and picking Arizona. Grinding 8th grade style in the Met Gala dress non-withstanding.

Most Likely to be President: Faith seems to really want it--so why not give it to Faith.

Most Likely to End up in Jail: Wyatt has a Roy from The Office mugshot in his future.

Most Likely to Succeed: Lori, because let’s just let her have this, okay?

Biggest Meanie: Maddison but she’s layered, okay?!

Class Flirt: Andy because everybody is Andysexual.

Most Dramatic: Ivy cuz goddamn gurl you messy!

Most Unorthodox/Original Character: Mr. President because I think it takes a lot of class and tact to pull a character like him off and MK carries both. Reading his threads I always find myself enjoying both the innocence and poignance Mr. Coleman puts out there.

Most Realistically-Portrayed Character: Facebook!Lucas, because I’ve known and been that kid a few times in my life. Will also shout out Connor Lorenzen because I’ve been watching a lot of QB1 on Netflix and he gives me a real Jake Fromm vibe.

Most-likely to win in a Battle Royal (Take an early shot. Who do you think will win?):

"I've made my living, Mr. Thompson, in large part as a gambler. Some days I make twenty bets, some days I make none. There are weeks, sometimes months, in fact, when I don't make any bet at all because there is simply no play. So I wait, plan, marshal my resources, and when I finally see an opportunity and there is a bet to make... I bet it all."

Too early to tell, who knows what real life or island life has in store for us and how that may effect the game...but I ask you all? Por que no Chad? Calling my shot now, Ace Beats your v7 cham--

Nah, I’m actually gonna pick Wyatt Carter, the hero we deserve.


Yearbook Quotes

Which character do you relate to the most?: Facebook!Lucas, something about making a fool of yourself online in high school resonates with me.

Which character do you feel the most for?: Ivy because I think the fact that she has a lot of growing up to do and won’t get the opportunity to do so hits me in an honest way. Fen has done a good job in creating a flawed but confident and imperfect character with a strong voice and a penchant for getting into the messy. Even beyond the completing the Carter set, everytime I read her posts, I get a sense of her agenda. She’s someone I’d be interested in seeing 20 years down the road in life, for better or worse and the fact that the game is gonna change that gets to me, alright?!

Which character are you cheering on to win SOTF? Already predicting the Wyatt heel-face turn on island. Strip down everybody to their humanity and is the high school bully really anything other than a kid himself? I’d at least appreciate the discourse late game Wyatt would bring.

Which character do you think has it coming?

"that woman deserves her revenge. And we deserve to die. But then again, so does she. So, I guess we'll see, won't we?"

Wyatt.

Quick; Final Four for V7 - who's it gonna be?
Too early to call the winner even earlier to call the final 4, I’ll get back to you at the midway hammers.

Margin Scribbles

Most Emotionally Moving Scene: Teen-Idle ,recently I had the experience of helping a family member through terminating a pregnancy and so that whole panic and worry and conflict between celebration and scrambling hit me hard. The fact that it was a false alarm and the light ending warmed my black, dark, heart and had me wiping a tear going “Good shit, good shit”

Most Humourous Scene: Ashes, Ashes in conjunction with SPLAT! --made me a Misty fan instantly. I don’t think I’m the only one.

Most Drama-filled Scene: I don’t even gotta link it--Wyatt banging Ivy, the goddamn tea!

Most Unexpected Scene: I guess Wyatt banging Ivy, back to back champion, because I honestly didn’t think he’d do his brother like that. Maybe I’m wrong for trying to see the good in this big hunk of mega douche. Maybe redemption stories are overrated? That shit caught me off guard and once the ball started rolling I couldn’t help but go “Oh shit! Oh shit!”

Talk About Yourself

What has been your favorite thing to write in V7 Pregame?
I would say I very much enjoy writing in Just Dance but I linked that earlier so instead I will go with my memory thread Thee Gift My Father Gave Me as it was the first time I felt brave enough to really post up my writing on here and let my voice stand alone. It was the culmination of a few posts in Swiftball, a few threads with Blizzard, a thread with Jilly and a whole lot of reading and observing. I wanted to write something honest and with a bit of substance and receiving praise from Dodd, MK and MW was something that gave me a tremendous amount of joy. I think if you were to make a list of the most panned SOTF writers of all time, it’d be a shitty list if I wasn’t top 5 and writing something not half-bad and over 2000 words meant a lot to me after a 10 year hiatus.

Which of your characters was your favorite to write?
Only got one kid this time ‘round but I’ve had a lot of fun getting to know Aceito.

Which was your favorite thread to participate in?
In Our Bones with Blizzard, we posted the majority of it in true ping-pong post fashion and that brought me back to 2005. I gotta say that I love RPing with Blizz because there’s an eagerness and earnestness there and this was my first dose of that…

Also, like, this kinda gave my character a prom date and his biggest IC connection outside of the football team thus far. I had a good time, easy time writing it and I find it to be good, easy reading looking back.

What are you proudest of in V7?
Already hit on this with Gifts but just people giving me a second chance and approaching my current writing without holding onto all the baggage my early teenage writing has. I think not letting folks who put faith in me down and also writing some pretty fun and not so egregious shit stirrer stuff gives me a lot of pride!

What do you wish you could improve?
Just RPing with more people and perhaps being a bit more dynamic in my posting. I need to make more friends and RP with more of y’all but I think the island and trip will be conducive to that--just gotta keep on keeping on!

What is your favorite OOC memory?
Coming back into Discord after being gone for 10 years thinking that people will not know me or have forgotten about me except for like 2 or 3 oldies...only to find that my legacy of necrophelia, rape, torture and general chaotic evil teenage grimdark fantasy still remained strong. Kept alive by a frog and a time cop, flaming skating skeleton or something I forget.

My enduring SOTF legacy of terribleness and shit stirring is something that gives me equal parts shame and bemusement. I cannot pick anything else.

Sorry for v1 endgame Danya, again. And Sorenson, always.

Talk About Yourself

What has been your favorite thing to write in V7 Pregame? Celebration stands out most to me, being a chance to show Julien and Faith both just being friends and also put him in a place where he can be at his calmest. A good juxtaposition to the temper that can flare with the right fuel, I feel.

Which was your favorite thread to participate in? The Comedy Central Roast of Lucas Brady.

Hey Guys! (Your trademark character): i feel like i cant get away with not saying ivy langley here, huh

Where you at? (Current Status of Trademark Character): elevatortrapped

Most Popular (Your favorite character(s) ): jesus okay u want a list? yall motherfuckers want a list? i am arbitrarily limiting myself to 10 characters so i dont go too overboard and also instituting a one character per person limit so: myles, wyatt, faith, lorenzo, julien, ace, demetri, max, tyrell, lori. in no order except the order they came to my head. there are a ton more i had a list of like 18 and then i had to pare it down I LOVE EVERYONE I'M SORRY DON'T YELL AT ME

Best School Hangout (Favorite thread): i could list a million of these too, but i won't, i swear. just so i dont get stuck on this question for the rest of today im going with Wanderlust for being the only pregame thread to make me tear up a little, with Patzers and Paretos for making me feel straight up like i was reading a very nerdy visual novel, and uh can i choose a thread i was in if i had barely any part in it? cause Room 713: We Didn't Start The Fire (Yet) was basically done before i did my one post and it def deserves a mention. i could do loads more but yknow i dont wanna be here forever


The Scrawlings

Class Clown (those who tickled your funny bone): in terms of characters that made me giggle a lot ooc: abel, wyatt, michael and lori.

Class Sweetheart (Girl and/or Guy known for being a real nice guy/gal): there are a ton of angels this time around which is important to balance out all of the trash babies. jonah's an easy choice, i also wanna give ace, declyn and regina credit here. even if declyn Is a homewrecker a little bit

Best Dressed: like i know ivy was a bitch about it but for reals i love absolutely everything tirzah is doing looks-wise and also in general

Most Likely to be President: I Have Faith In Faith™

Most Likely to End up in Jail: i mean are we counting the kids who have committed actual crimes? because i'm gonna go with lorenzo? for reasons? tyrell also for like knife-related reasons. that was just a balcony full of felons huh

Most Likely to Succeed: juliette if she makes it without killing anyone i guess. and connor, definitely.

Biggest Meanie: i mean like i said we got a lotta trash babies in here, several of whom have punched people, but i feel like i'd be a little Too biased to give it to lorenzo, so im giving it to johnny for punching an innocent girl in the face in public, christ

Class Flirt: lucas a or lorenzo depending on ur sexuality flavor, the girls are tragically far behind in this

Most Dramatic: myles or madison. or tyrell mostly for the way he talks

Most Unorthodox/Original Character: lori and beryl are both great to me for how like totally out there they are compared to any other kid yet for both of them, especially lori, i can still imagine them existing? it's p impressive

Most Realistically-Portrayed Character: most of them, honestly. people are sticking real close to the ground this version and it's great to see all around. particular shout out to ace tho because im pretty sure i just straight up was friends with him in high school.

Most-likely to win in a Battle Royal (Take an early shot. Who do you think will win?): me personally when i parachute into at hq and make sad faces at them until they agree to stop killing children


Yearbook Quotes

Which character do you relate to the most? its bad praxis to pick ur own characters so i'll say zen as an aside, but: declyn, mikki, maybe erika a little bit, for like very different reasons each

Which character do you feel the most for? is it bad if it's myles? that's probably bad right? that says bad things about me? yes? also nona because the crippling anxiety is relatable

Which character are you cheering on to win SOTF? alexander's dog

Which character do you think has it coming? they're good kids brent

Quick; Final Four for V7 - who's it gonna be? i shoved names into a randomizer and got yuko, demetri, teresa and phillip. which is like, an interesting combination, if nothing else


Margin Scribbles

Most Emotionally Moving Scene: like i said already, Wanderlust, which was too too relatable. there are too many emotional memory oneshots to count but i wanna give special credit to Clothespins on the Fuel Line for making me deeply sad despite not being particularly serious in tone.

Most Humourous Scene: the whole "lori picks a prom date" saga was excellent. also like Room 724: The USS Dekcuc (Read it Backwards) is my favorite thing to have ever happen.

Most Drama-filled Scene: i know these were early but i dont think anything will really top Gifts or Mystery of Love, at least in terms of threads im not part of lmao

Most Unexpected Scene: the Trapped in the Bathroom: Chapter 173 [HD 1080p] -> The Mascara Snake -> The Good Times Are Killing Me sequence. what the fuck are you kids doing. at least erika had an excuse the rest of yall tho. smh


Talk About Yourself

What has been your favorite thing to write in V7 Pregame? The Drama™. i swear i have written things that are not The Drama™, but i love it so much. specifically the whole ivy/wyatt/bret plotline has been a blasty blast to plan and execute on and im so happy its gone like it has

Which of your characters was your favorite to write? i like writing most of my kids. i want to say ivy just because i was able to plan and execute on ideas with her where i wasn't really able to do that as much as i'd like with my other kids, and also because she's taken up residence in my brain such that it's pretty easy and painless to actually write with her at this point. (ive really enjoyed writing all of my kids tho theyre all my babies)

Which was your favorite thread to participate in? gonna name a couple to spread things out: Those Moments Were Like Flowers To Me made me smile, Sweetest Lie (accompanying trigger warning here) made me very very sad, and Perfect Forward Secrecy i think did a real good job of summing up two characters' entire personas all at once.

What are you proudest of in V7? i mean im new here (ish) so everything's kinda new to me. i'm proud of being able to write at all, let alone well enough that other people seem to like it, i'm proud that i have six distinct kids and i love them all and have written at least a fair bit with all of them, i'm proud of almost everything i've done in pregame even tho sometimes i get in moods and go "wow this is all really shitty actually". im proud that anyone likes anything ive written honestly??? cause thats crazy??? and like, i'm proud that i tackled some really dangerous stuff this pregame, and it seems to have gone over well.

What do you wish you could improve? this is a really specific thing but i use way too many fucking adverbs and i need to chill on that probably lmao. ive been so caught up in Drama Plans all of pregame that i didnt get to do as much with some of my other kids as i'd like and i wanna make sure everyone has stuff to do in game. i also want to stop beating myself up so much over every little thing cause big shock that isnt actually helpful in the long term im just making myself sad pandas

What is your favorite OOC memory? dating the entire site, including you, whoever is reading this, u just dont know it yet, stay tuned. also the v2 readathon for introducing me to yall motherfuckers properly, also songtests? memes? i dont know i love you people

The Scrawlings

Class Clown (those who tickled your funny bone): The way Rugga writes Lori's absolute meltdowns made me break down with my head in my hands every single time.

Class Sweetheart (Girl and/or Guy known for being a real nice guy/gal): Nathan Coleman is an earnest lovely boy and I will tear the throat out of anyone who hurts him.

Best Dressed: Tirzah and Cecil out here making 90% of the rest of us look like bums

Most Likely to be President: I'm lowkey pulling for Lavender Ripley to end up a political figure like three versions from now.

Most Likely to End up in Jail: Tyrell would for real end up killing someone if he wasn't going to the Murder Island. Where he will probably also for real kill one or more people but in a more socially acceptable context.

Most Likely to Succeed: Faith is making moves, I see her going far.

Biggest Meanie: Y'know I'm gonna throw it to Nick Oglive. There are a lot of people who did worse things to people they either don't care about or already hate, but it takes a special kind of mean to know you're hurting someone you love, regret it as you're doing it, and then keep digging further. That thread was cruel.

Class Flirt: Ivy. It's Ivy. How has nobody said Ivy I'm pretty sure her first thought when waking up is "who can I seduce to get what I want today"

Most Dramatic: I'm pretty sure all of Emmett's posts are drama from start to finish even when things are relatively tame and I appreciate him

Most Unorthodox/Original Character: I feel like there's a lot to shout out here but the big names have already hit the spotlight, so I'm breaking my one character per handler rule to shout out MW's work with Sven Vee. I'm really intrigued to see where he's going and the trick with his memory thread is delightful.

Most Realistically-Portrayed Character: I gave Buko a whole rant about this that I'll spare ya'll but Ace is such a down to earth grounded idea and I love him. I'm not usually here for normal kids but he's done a fantastic job of making his stakes feel realistic for the average high school student while still making them feel important alongside some of the more cinematic plot lines that have played out over the course of pre-game.

Most-likely to win in a Battle Royal (Take an early shot. Who do you think will win?): Beryl's highkey the GOAT and nobody can convince me otherwise, she's unpredictable and low radar and smarter than her disadvantages give her credit for, I would not be shocked at all for her to outlast the competition purely by playing a different game than anyone else.

Margin Scribbles

Most Emotionally Moving Scene: Has anything brought a tear to your eyes? Every Vow You Break, Every Smile You Fake got me where I live. There was a lot of good drama this version but I keep thinking about this one.

Most Humourous Scene: Which scene served as the best comic relief? Four Score And Seven Furbies is killing it, please feed me more.

Most Drama-filled Scene: Which scene had you on the edge of your seat in the way of conflict, suspense, and drama? Room 713: We Didn't Start The Fire(yet) had my heart certain we were about to see a pre-game murder. Lorenzo better be praying to anything that will listen in thanks that he made it out of that room alive.

Most Unexpected Scene: Was there anything that you just did NOT see coming in pregame? Project M takes an idea that could have been really cliche and elevates it with great character chemistry, weird formatting, and a lot of creative pacing. It was very strongly in the running for my favorite thread of pre-game and that's coming from someone who thinks any thread over three pages should probably be illegal.
