It's Saturday and I'm Thursday

[outlandthursday.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone! I'm Peach, and I will be playing Thursday Next from Jasper Fforde's fabulous Thursday Next series. Basically, she is a woman in her mid-to-late thirties from an alternate 1985 England who has the power to jump into and navigate the world of books. She's no-nonsense and take-charge, and because of her particularly crazy life, she isn't fazed by much. (Her husband and father have both gone from existing to not existing to never having existed to existing again, her son was born in the book world and spoke Lorem Ipsum for the first few years of his life, her main babysitter is a gorilla, she has saved Jane Eyre and been put on trial by the Red Queen, and she's one of the few people who helps Spike Stoker from SO-17 with the assorted undead. Just to name a few things...)

Seriously, read these books. Theyr'e a lot of fun. It starts with The Eyre Affair, and I can tell you what comes next if you get that far. :) The icons I have aren't perfect, by any stretch of the imagination, but it's incredibly difficult to find pictures of plain-looking women in their thirties, much less ones that capture Thursday's badassness and indifference to appearance. Oh well.

You can reach me by e-mail (crazyosaka at yahoo) or PM this journal. I am also often on AIM (shelfninja). Make sure to introduce yourself and don't sound shady; I've been getting a lot of unsolicited sex chat IMs lately, so I've been increasingly liberal with the "block" feature.

I look forward to the game! It's my first online RP, so it should be interesting. Let's have fun!

I just wanna say ♥ ♥ ♥ for playing Thursday Next. The books are the best. :D


As for me, I'm Sceadu, and thus far I'm only playing this lady here.

Thanks, Sceadu! The books are the best, indeed. I have the sixth book signed by Jasper Fforde, but I haven't read it yet, because all my books are still in boxes from moving. :P

I like Aqua as well, so it should be an enjoyable time. Aqua seems to be the LBOCS for Birth By Sleep.

I've read it. It's good, although I won't say too much more than that to keep from accidental spoilers. Also, what point in canon is Thursday coming from? *curious forever*

...I think I've got that acronym properly parsed out, but just in case I'm wrong, 'LBOCS'?

Last Bastion of Common Sense. :)

I'm having her come from after Something Rotten, but before First Among Sequels. I'm having occasional references to things that happen in FAS, like the recent publication of The Eyre Affair and Thursday's annoyance about her portrayal therein. It's been a long time since I've read the books, so I'll probably be making continuity errors all over the place. :P

I'm debating possibly bringing Thursday1-4 or Thursday5 into the random visitor's community at some point, but we'll see how much time I have.

She really, really is. It's probably a good thing too, given her guys.

Well, there's always rereading them~. But uh, I can point anything particularly egregious out, if I happen to spot it? Also, I doubt Pickwick's come along on the trip, but just in case you need more icons, I've got this one (http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/74091882/5500497). Credit goes to september_icons.

That could definitely be interesting.

Oh my god, Thursday Next is so cooooool~

I'm Lu, and I play this pony. Nice to meet you!

Hi Lu! I adore Pinky(ie? ee?) Pie, so this should be fun. :)

Yet another book to add to my list :Db it sounds awesome.

I'm Saria, and I'll be playing this cheeky little metalhead known as Iron Liz. Hope Thursday likes puns! 8D
