Welcome to Affections and Affectations

...and to Lindeboshire! The time is the last quarter of the 19th century, and the place is a fairly large English city by the name of Lindebo.
The people here, like in most cities, come in all shapes and variations.

A&A is a historical play-by-post roleplaying game for advanced to intermediate writers. If the Victorian era interests you, or if you enjoy writing realistic fiction, developing interesting characters and exploring people's differences, pretences and relations, you've come to the right place. Feel free to join and create your own storylines and plot-twists!

News:

Hallo folks! A&A is starting the RP Citations today! Every four months these will come around. This is not a competition, these are just little awards for the people on the boards, to give you all a chance to show how much you appreciate your fellow RPers (and you get nifty midgy-banners to put in your character apps and/or sigs!). We hope to get a response from everyone; your vote matters!

A checklist for you when you vote:
  • Read the RP forums!
  • Decide your votes!
  • PM your choices to Mjinga or Etcetera!
  • Under no circumstances post your choices in this thread!
We will keep all votes confidential, to avoid you becoming embarrassed by the over-flow of affection from your fellow RPers if they were to find out you voted for them. You can also vote for a tie, but try to keep it to one or two possibilities.

We announce winners and runner-ups, and we expect YOU to vote! The people cited for excellence will be announced one week from today (if we get a vote from everybody sooner, then we'll announce sooner smile.gif ).

There's been an extension on the vote-time. One or the other of the admins or mod has been ill or otherwise unable to properly check stuff over the weekend and run-up days. Therefore, you all have until Friday to get your votes in, and the winners will be announced on Saturday. smile.gif Happy voting!

And thanks to all you people who did vote already. smile.gif We have some widely-dispersed votes; clearly everybody reads the board and loves everybody else. biggrin.gif

Note: Posts made on or after the 21st of January are excluded from the selections, out of fairness for those who alread submitted their votes.
