TEST DRIVE MEME - TU SHANSHU EDITION!

Itching to try out writing a character? Then rev up your engines, grab your accounts, and slam your way into this meme! Here is a venue for you to try out whatever character there might be tickling your fancy, from fandom to OC, for as few as one and as many as MANY. Seriously, there's no limit.

How do you partake in this fantastic congregation of character testing? Why, by following these simple steps:

1. Comment with the journal of a character you want to test; put their name and canon in the subject line for added sparkles.
2. Tag around with everyone!
3. Profit like you live on a the back of a turtle!

But wait, there's more! For the low, low price of $9,999.99, you can even use one of our handy prompts when you tag someone. You could even pick one with a Random Number Generator to help decide which prompt to go with!

1. A Chance Meeting at the Turtle's Head.
   Remember, being here causes a great sense of-- well, shall we say inner peace.
2. Haggling Over Something in the Marketplace!
   Maybe someone else saw the exact same shiny thing you did at the exact same moment! However shall this be resolved? Remember: blood is extremely hard to scrub off of turtleshell!
3. Hey, I Just Met You, and This is Crazy...
   First impressions are always the most important, right?
4. WILDCARD!
   Go nuts. Suddenly your character is fighting dragons! Good God, they've found the Millennium Falcon drifting in the ocean! Do you really feel the need to polish every paving stone in the Earth Sector? Please note, Wildcard options are also what you can choose to do if you aren't yet comfortable in the Tu Shanshu setting and would prefer a more 'dear-mun' esque experience. Please specify in your post!

This marks the official start of the monthly test drive meme and, to celebrate, we're giving a new feature a shot. The first comment/thread on this test drive is going to be titled ENABLE ME and it's where you post character accounts/muselists, etc and others (members, passerbys, shoulder demons) can enable you to apply to Tu Shanshu! Come, let us enable you to the turtletastic madness!

Yes, I uhm, did a thing >>;;

I just finished rereading the book tonight so we'll see. I just...need to finish the supplemental story.

[the_other_eight]

That is a beautiful name for her.

Sorry, Mary-Lynette is one of my favorite characters in the series and you tend to not see Night World fans very much.

I really hope she writes more supplemental about them. Though I'm worried she'll disappear again for another five to ten years.

[shinkicker]

It was the most fitting imho.

And god, yes, mine too. She is my absolute favorite.

Did you read Those Who Favor Fire?

And....I imagine she'll be around since she's got all the press rn with Vampire Diaries and Secret Circle :|b

[the_other_eight]

Very.

I think it's because she's one of the few who just doesn't care about the whole soulmate thing and uses it to her advantage to kick her soulmate repeatedly. poor Ash

I did. I was very amused by the fact that Ash is very independent and stand alone until Mary-Lynette comes up or shows up and then he's a ball of jello and feelings. I'd have to test him out first, but I'm pretty sure I could pull him off.

True. Her other works are getting a lot of press, and she did say something about finally finishing the Night World books. Which would be nice with all the craziness that's been going on towards the end.


I have to ask, and I know it's a long shot, but do you happen to know the 'Tithe' series by Holly Black as well?

[shinkicker]

I think it takes her a while to get used to it and considering the circumstances, yeah, I don't blame her. Everything happens within a matter of days and her entire world gets turned over. H-hah. But yeah she uses the sparky thing against him a couple times. And yeah lmao poor Ash just....ends up kinda going w;A;w?? when everything goes down.

Considering I just made the account I'm probably going to voice test at some point and just...see how I do. She's one of the few characters from that series that I think could manage well on her own separated since it's canon and all :|a

And yeah apparently Strange Fate has been in the works again for a few years but they keep pushing back the release date. I think that Lullaby book is getting released first idefk.

And no, I'm not familiar with the Tithe series by Holly Black.

[milestoredemption]

Yeah. They both got really blindsided. And his sisters weren't any help to either of them. I loved that he kept just moving against his own will to try and keep her safe even though she could take care of herself.

I'll probably throw up a D_M post and throw him in a few memes to test him. You're right though, most of them seem to be in series only types. They couldn't survive without being in their cannon.

I've taken to the point that I'll believe it when it's published.

Ah well. She's another not too well known author. I figured I'd try since you know L.J. Smith.
