This is pretty much just a list of ... ships that i've done on the past that the game died or something and I'd like to revisit or something. I don't really have any particularly "new" ships I'd want to do in the future, but if I made a list of the other players I'd want to do ships with, that would be a really really long list. There are definitely some people who I've never shipped with before who I'd like to ship with in the future, if they would be interested.

- I'd love to revisit Patrick & Regan with Kate.
- I'd love to actually PLAY OUT a ship with Khushi, either the Teddy/Jessie or Ellie/John type, or the Ritchie/Keira type.
- I want to really play out a ship with Stevie, because ours always seem to get interrupted. Though we do have a few lined up to be upcoming, so ... yeah.
- I'd like to revisit a Lexi/Paul sort of thing with Chantal again.

Okay, seriously? I managed to make "favorite ship" and "favorite couple" somewhat different, but "favorite couple you've had"? They should've either just phrased the "favorite couple" as "favorite canon couple" or "favorite couple other people have played" or something, if "favorite couple you've had" was going to get its own.

SO. I'm just going to say "screw you" to whoever came up with the days for this meme, and move on.

Okay, another pet peeve. This is something that I've noticed as a mod ... the people who always seem to be on hiatus, and when they're not on hiatus, they're only very minimally active. It's like ... okay. I get it. Real life comes first. And, yeah, sometimes stuff happens that means you have to take a hiatus: you're sick or going on vacation or it's midterm/finals time or there was an emergency that you have to tend to. I've taken hiatuses for all the above reasons. But if it's a planned hiatus (vacation or midterms/finals time), I try to up my activity beforehand. And when I get back from hiatus, after finding out what I missed, I try to jump back in as best I can. But I've seen people who go on hiatus after hiatus after hiatus, with very little attempts to be active between hiatuses, and it's just kind of like ... do you even want to be in this game?

A sort-of relative to this pet peeve, and one I know I've been somewhat guilty of in the past, is the people who are only active immediately around an activity check, and only just enough to pass it, and then immediately slide back into oblivion until the next activity check, or those who just sort of stop updating/commenting/whatever, and basically you end up in a situation where you have to remove them for inactivity, instead of just being upfront about it and being all "hey, I don't have time for the game / I've lost my muse / I'm not feeling connected to the game / insert reason here, I'm going to drop my character(s) so that somebody else can pick them up." It just annoys me. Don't just sit on a character for the sake of having the character, open them up for someone else to play if you're not going to play them.
