I can't reconstruct my RR post. Sad, that. I can, however, make a new one.
To begin with, I was recently reminded of an RR I participated in on Alt.drwho.creative (ADWC) three years ago. In it, I wandered in, didn't do a hell of a lot, and actually forgot to ever read the end of it. Probably due to being burnt out on RRs at the time.
So, being reminded, I wandered to the website to look it up, and discovered something. I'd been edited out. They called it out-takes, and there were other posts there as well.
But. I don't think there's *ever* been a time when I was edited from a RR (I've been retconned, I've changed my own backstory, and I've generally been ignored. But edited out as if it hadn't happened? New to me).
It was... a blow to my ego, I guess. And reading my posts (all.. two of them), I was reminded that I'm not always brilliant.
To remind myself that I can, on occasion, be brilliant, I went and reread some Subreality stuff and the AoA RR. Surprisingly, I realised that Bev and I make a kick-ass team writing-wise.
And I will always be amused at creating Marrissa Lebeau Picard. *pats* I should use her somewhere. Maybe give her a one-shot fic or something.
Tales From the Age of Apocabyss... Yeah, I can see that one getting abused.
I then proceeded to a few others, suddenly interested to find the RR where IceWing and I sat around being snide and drinking (it was so hard for us. Truly). I got side-tracked into rereading the Closet RR.
And re-discovered my penchant for gloriously obtuse tapestries. Reading my solution wasn't bad, but there was a lot left to be taken care of. Looking back, I'd like to re-write it, try to do something with the keys, with the lock Dex found....
Yet, if I had, we wouldn't have had the sequel RR: The **** Just Hit the Fan, which is, to my mind, one of my crowning achievements in being rude.
I got to hit Hush, see. And, dude, reading it is almost as much fun as writing it originally was. Even if the first intention was to kill the ..brat. IceWing and I spend a good portion of that RR mocking everyone and doing *nothing*. It's beautiful.
And then I get to the end.
And.... Dude. *eyes Rossi and Sparrow* You two suck, man.
But what brought this post on (other than that LJ ate the other one) is that I *miss* writing in round robins. I miss the frustration, the amusement, the sheer mockery that occurs along with the silliness, the sometimes incredible writing, and the ends. Or the beginnings.
The end is the beginning is the end, as Acetal once wrote.
Sadly, I have become what I once mocked. I'm picky, elitist, and have a small list of people I trust in an RR (about... 20 or so).
I also need a beta reader for RR posts. And time.
And... an idea that hasn't been smashed into the ground ten thousand times.

Been a few years since I was modding over there...but was that an IA you were 'edited out' of?
If so...the institution of IAs has sadly degenerated since my time.

It was more fun to write in them than to organise them, I must say.

And.... Dude. *eyes Rossi and Sparrow* You two suck, man.
*grins unabashedly at you* What? I didn't want to be the hero, and I didn't really want Hush to be, and it just fit. So neener.
Besides, you loved it. ;)

It's been a *long* time since I'd read that one. Probably not once since it was finished, even. And... Sheesh. ;)
