Beyond the Rift

SO! I’ve finally figured out how to stream videos on Dreamhost (or maybe they finally implemented the proper programming). Which means…

We can stream Riftvids here on the website. :O! Thrilling!

SO! If all you Riftvidders could email me (evie [at] beyondtherift [dot] com) with a link to download your vid and the following form filled out, I’ll get those all up as soon as possible!

Song: Duh
Artist: Double Duh
Vidder: This would be YOU. Provided you made the vid.
Link (optional): This would be a link you’d like your name to link back to, and is entirely optional. If you don’t provide one, I’ll just link to your wiki page.
Topic: The character(s) or ship(s) involved (ie “Robin Rice, Ruvin” or “Vincent/Romana”) or the general theme (ie “Sisterthings” or “General Badassery”)
Summary (optional): If you don’t write one, I probably will. WOOHOO!
Source(s): If you have more than five sources or you don’t know where the hell your clips are from other than “youtube”, just say that.

And if you make vids in the future? Same deal! I’ll put up info and this form and everything on this site ASAP (not right now - right now I go to bed), and when you make your new vids, simply upload your video to the internet somewhere, email me the link and the form, and I’ll put it up for you! Simple as that. ^_^

So we’ve added a meme community to the list of metacomms - for you to post memes done for your character, so the results don’t drown our reading lists! It didn’t used to be a problem, but it’s been a while since the last time we had widespread memeposts, and we’ve gotten more players and more characters, so it’s time to move those out of the main circulation!

So, if you’ve got a meme that you’d like to do for your character, go right ahead! Just post to that comm as much as your little meme-loving heart desires. :)

The comm can be found at rift_memes.

So Jackie pointed out something that makes me sorta sad:

Our cast is basically “Pretty White Kids With Problems”. I can think of three characters who aren’t Caucasian off the top of my head: One’s Asian and in Tokyo, one’s black and recently deceased, and one’s Hispanic and probably going to be killed off soon.

Now, I’m not saying that we’re all ZOMG BAD RPERS or that we HAVE to go create/pick up people who aren’t “pretty white kids”, but it makes me sad that in a city that really should have quite a bit of ethnic diversity, our cast is… white.

So! This is not a requirement, but a request - for your next oc, think about having a PB who’s not white. For your next fandom character, think if you know any characters who aren’t white that you might like to play. WE ARE TURNING INTO A WB PRIME TIME SHOW, GUYS. NEXT THING YOU KNOW, UTERUS INDIE ROCK WILL BE OUR ONLY BACKING MUSIC!

That is all. :)

Okay, so the power is out at Aubrey and Evie (and Jaqui)’s apartment complex. And all down the street. No one knows why, yet, or when it might come back on. SO. Hopefully we’ll be back within a couple hours, but if not, grab Rizzy for any mod-related things. We’ll be back when we can be back!
