About my fanfic writing

YAY IM SO HAPPY FOR U!!!! <3

Warning, random Kei rambling ahead. 

So, when I first made a tumblr, it was mostly due to peer-pressure and people constantly asking why I didn’t have one for Kei. I’m really bad at this whole social media thing, most of my interaction is and always will be in-game and through rp. I was surprised to find out people are actually visiting this page, especially considering my strict policy on being very tight-lipped about Kei ooc. I’ll be stating to be more active, starting with a very personal story for her I’m posting tonight or tomorrow, but anyways, on the important stuff.

I want to start by reflecting on my entrance into the RP scene. Around...February of last year, a friend who had been a long time roleplayer convinced to to transfer to Balmung with them and give it a try. I had no experience in role-play or writing at all. Naturally, that friend stopped playing two days later, leaving me in the purgatory of knowing nothing or nobody. I did, what many people do when they don’t know where to go. I walked around Ul’dah. 

Now, even today, if you walk around the city, you’ll see dozens of people standing about. (And we’re not talking about the thirsty ones put that aside for the sake of this story). There are so many people out there desperately looking for rp. I was knew, I didn’t know what to do, how to approach, or even what my character was like. But I wanted to learn. This, was how Kei’s concept started.

Many of you that know me, know how strict I am about not giving IC information oocly. I rarely even mention or talk about RP I or Kei has done. Things she’s done people she’s worked with. That all started from my initial creation of her. You see, I wanted to learn how to rp, what makes good rp, how the experiences can be meaningful and trigger an emotional response in the character. But for that, I needed to interact with other characters. And so, here I was, new to the server, looking for people, and I decided something.

I decided, that one of the core concepts for my character, would that she would be able to approach anyone, anywhere, every time. It’s that simple. Those of you who have interacted with Kei, know she’s very up front. She wants to profit from you, and she’s going to find out how. How she and you can work together for mutual benefit.

One of the first people I met on the server, was this guy who sat me down, and talked to me about the adventurers guild. For hours and hours and hours he explained the significance of what the guild does for Eorzea. I looked at the guild, at the variety of the leves they offered, and realized, that a character who acts as an ‘independent ‘levemate’ of sorts, could have justification for interacting with almost anyone. 

The rest is history.

ON TO THE PRESENT.

When myself @pavpatla and @cmazing started Blue Sky Ventures, @bsventures. What we wanted most of all, was to create a stage for excellent characters to express themselves and develop. Good rp doesn’t take anything more than throwing characters into a room and seeing what happens. All you need is a hook to get you started. That’s what we made the levedesk for. I have many friends, acquaintances, who tell me how hungry for rp there are, but how hard it is to find. There’s some weird sort of...barrier to entry. When everyone is afraid to approach or start something, or know where to begin, you can see how that makes this sort of ‘self-fulfilling prophecy’. We wanted to make that hook, where even if we had focused, character driven storylines within the fc, the Vista could act like a Quicksand, a Drowning Wench, or a Carline Canopy, connecting people be it IC or through our OOC ls even if they weren’t in the FC.

SO SHAMELESS SELF-ADVERTISEMENT COME STOP BY OR TALK TO ME @pavpatla OR @cmazing

GIVEAWAY INFO

Now, for what most of you actually care about. In the spirit of what I wrote above, rather than giving away ‘something’, I’d figure I’d do the only thing I’m somewhat competent at. Being Kei. So, one follower, at the end of this week, will be approached and offered to be ‘Kei’d’. What does that mean? Basically, it means that, I’ll design a leve or event specific to your character. An Adventure of sorts to accomplish something that they want. It could be solo, with a group of friends, or inv along some of the BS crew. For example, say your character is some kind of artisan that requires some kind of rare material. We’ll arrange an escort mission so you can go fetch it. Decide you want to capture and tame a wild chocobo? We can do that. Want to explore an Amdapori, Sil’dihn, Nymian, Mhacian ruin? We can do that. Essentially, whatever drives your character, I’ll design an adenture around that for you and your friends.

If the person RNG has chosen isn’t interested, we’ll figure out something else and I’ll roll again UNTIL SOMEONE ACTUALLY DECIDES THEY WANT THIS.

Now, I’ve rambled for a while, but very quickly I wanted to give a shoutout to @pavpatla and @cmazing. Those two are the true backbone of this FC, and basically have the monumental task of working hard and keeping my eccentric ass in check. I couldn’t ask for better partners and friends, and you really should go stalk the fuck out of them ic and ooc. @pavpatla has posted some excellent work, but the truly beautiful things she does are all in game, so hunt her down. As for @cmazing Absolutely sensational writer and world-builder, and maybe if enough people pester him on tumblr he’ll start sharing his talents with the world more. 

And of course, make sure to check out the rest of the BSventures crew at https://bsventures.tumblr.com/members  Each and everyone of them is wonderful and deserves to have their work seen. I’d talk about you all in detail, but I’m gonna save that for...a thing -steeples -fingers-

Thanks for listening to my BS
