Well, for what it is worth, I do appreciate it, and if I understand your reply correctly (and should I misunderstand: please do enlighten me as to what/where, for nothing but clarity’s sake), but you write in the moves of the characters, and their lines, much like the RPGs on sites like Fanfiction.net; again, IF (emphasis for clarity’s sake only) I grasp your stance and reply correctly… and if I do not, please do enlighten me.

As for me: I take delight in the games set in Once Upon A Time that I’ve done, as well as “Arrow”, “Supergirl”, and also “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” therein, and they have been intense fun thus far in my eyes.

But to cast the ball back into your court; where do you like to play online?

I use the settings for those games, and some of the characters from the games, but in order to avoid any copyright issues, I try not to use actual game dialogue unless I attribute it to the game’s writers somewhere in a footnote. I do sometimes use the general game storyline, but I depict events from another point of view rather than just rehash what anyone playing the game could see already.

I rarely play anything online. I find I don’t have sufficient blocks of time for an online multiplayer game. Rather, I prefer to play games that are installed on my PC and which can be played, saved and restarted as I need. Real life can be… complicated.

Same here about using the characters, however using my own dialogue; as I know from when I started first-off writing any fanfics at all, I checked with a lawyer to make sure about copyright issues; and honestly it’d be far harder to violate copyright than to make your own works is my breakdown of the situation.

I understand some more about what’s been going on, and yes, real life takes priority always.

This’s one reason why I like the RPGs where I write in my characters’ moves: it allows me, and the others, to make a lot of short moves in the RPG on a computer, or several, without taking up too much time in the real world; succinct, fun, quick, and also easy to be professionally polite all in the same rolled up instant.
