Alright, first off, I'll be the first to admit that I'm new to Cape and Cowl. I'll also be the first to admit that I never really used LJ for anything other than just that, a journal.
Now. My app was accepted, which is awesome, but I don't have the ability to actually post. Why is that? Does it take them a little while to add me to the community? I've tried joining, but then I get an e-mail saying that my request was denied?
What gives?

POLYVORE. (don't hit me)
Jan. 24th, 2011 11:06 am![[identity profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/openid.png)
If so, let's make a C&C group :3!!
Guys if you don't polyvore... I don't know, DON'T START it is a HUGE TIME WASTER even if you don't like fashion or clothing, like me. I am not the LEAST bit interested in even non-couture every day fashion, seriously. Well... I mean I'm interested if I'm going to wear it, and if you ask me, sure, I guess I can tell you "I don't like that shirt!" or whatever, but honestly, I don't give a shit. I barely even had any interest in dressing my dolls or Barbies when I was little.
And yet... I've made like fifty million polyvores for my characters ;___; ............
( look, here's one for Oracle! )
And here's one for Harry. Don't give me shit about the $560 jeans, I don't pay attention to prices when I make polyvores >_> it's more fun that way. Also here's one for O-Ren. I don't make any for Jason because Jason is boring and horrible... well, I make some for young Jason, when he wears. Anything but that fucking leather jacket.
Have I gone insane? Maybe. So what. :| Polyvore with us. Do it. Disregard what I said earlier. Do iiiiiit.

Two things:
FIRST, TO WHATEVER LOVELY ANON FAIRY IS RESPONSIBLE: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ICONS. I appreciate them tremendously and shall try to use them well. :D
Second: So Terry is just here, is sort of 8| at suddenly being somewhere he doesn't know without the old guy and the computer who knows everything, so he's trying to be the best Batman he can be. Which involves lots and lots of reading/watching/listening. Because HEY, research makes the man, right?
Or it does if it's Batman.
And he's new at the job, which makes him nervous which makes him overcompensate because he doesn't want to make any mistakes and die, and....
The point is that he's gonna be hyper-responsible for the first little while, and so will be doing his research. And he'll probably make it through at least 6 months worth of back-dated stuff, after he settles down and starts studying properly (after a while he might decide that he's doing well enough without doing this stuff and if he keeps up his head will explode and THEN where will he be and so not make it back to the beginning, and he'll probably skim before that) but I... really don't want to read through all the posts and 89 thousand comments that he would. So um.
Help me Cape and Cowl-kenobi, you're my only hope. What are some things he would know? @_@
EDIT: Eeeeeee thank you everyone who's already posted. AS A SIDE NOTE that I should have posted earlier: He'll be paying a lot more attention to people who are or were villains, who associate with villains, have committed crimes, gone crazy and murdered someone ETC than he will to just your normal hero types.
Because. Well. They're the potential threat here.Unlike Bruce he's not gonna build a contingency plan for each and every hero in the city and how to take them down should they go evil he's not that OCD. He'd likely know who the heros were as well, but won't care quite so much.

So, uh, Finches and I are doing a CnC podcast that is surely going to be knocking your socks off, but!
But
We need your help!
You see, we're going a "WHAT'S GOING ON IN CNC" section, but since there's only two of us and something like 300 of you, you can understand why we're absolutely sure that we can't keep track of everything that's going on.
Our solution to this seemingly gargantuan problem is ... to ask you guys to help us out c:
If you could comment here with a short recap of what's going on with your characters, we'd really appreciate it! No need to give us everything, just fill us in on one or two of the things/events your character's been involved with in, say, the past two weeks or so? It shouldn't take more than a minute or so.
Thanks so much guys! :D!!!
( Thank you pic spam goes here )

Hey folks, this is Jennifer/Fru, one of the many newbies from the past app period and I fail really hard at not jumping headfirst into this lovely new game. For example, I already know who I want to app next period and I have an LJ currently getting set up:
labyrinth_lord If you didn't guess, that's Jareth, The Goblin King from The Labyrinth aka David Bowie in tight pants and gorgeous coats. ♥
SO! Here's the thing: I've played antagonistic PCs in other games and I've played villain NPCs in other games, but I'd like to know how the 'villain' status works here in C&C. Granted that Jareth is more of the Chaotic Neutral 'entertain me and I'll help whoever' variety, but hey! Any info would be awesome to have.
P.S. And I hope this is an okay spot to post this. :)

GDI I'm watching that damn Dreamworks Sinbad movie again for the second time this week. It's got me thinking about apping Eris...only can we say fucking overpowered crazy, coniving goddess is well...all I just said.[Poll #1399532]If you have another suggestion for taking Aphrodite from tell me.[Poll #1399532]
Alright poll closed!
I know Aphrodite won buuuut I've gone through several episodes of Hercules and uuuuh...I've come to realise how much trouble I'd have writing the app. So looks like I'm going to app Eris instead. Her app would be easier to write and she'd probably be more fun in the long run. I'm just going to have to figure out how to limit her powers.

This is a meme about boats. Or like. Metaphors and similes about boats. Here's what we're gonna do.
•I'm makin' thirteen categories here. They're all boats. Vaguely-defined boats because fuck you I don't boat are you kidding.
•You slide your ships into the categories as you see them fit. Feel free to expand or elaborate on why they're that particularshipboat.
•They don't have to be official ships. Crack is fine, too.
•????
•PROFIT?
Shut up this has been scratching at the back of my mind for like a week. *makes categories...
Okay GO.

OKAY SO hay guyz
Many of you know that I have reserved Alfred Pennyworth from Year One. THAT'S RIGHT GUYS YOU GET AN ALFRED :|| (assuming I get accepted)
The only thing is that although I have read Year One, I do not own it (and probably should buy it) and I haven't read much in that era apart from a mega-cool five-part series called "Shaman" that sort of took place during that time. Are there any other cool post year one stories that people could direct me to in order to supplement mah Alfred knowledge? IF SO THAT'D BE COOL.
also, just to live up to my tag:

Formal wear?
Mar. 28th, 2009 08:47 pm![[identity profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/openid.png)
So there's quite a few people planning on using cropped formal wear icons for the event tomorrow - and others that aren't. Regardless, from my understanding of all the people I've talked to today, MOST are looking into tuxes/suits or gowns for their characters.
I've had some people not know where to get good ones. So lemme help anyone who's looking.
I highly recommend bridal websites - bridesmaid dresses can be used for formal wear easily - especially since bridesmaid dresses are often even nicer than bridal gowns. o_o
Brides.com has a great collection of both - you can narrow it down according to style/color/etc, and even go to the designer's website if you want to see more. IDEK someone might want to take a look.
Gowns
Tuxes/Suits
Also Alfred Angelo features dresses where you can preview them in about 30 - 50 different colors. And Alyce Designs is pretty awesome too.
So there you go, even if it's just to get an idea of how to describe what your character is wearing, that gives you some places to look!
