Please let me know if I should pull this post if it doesn't belong in this forum...

Yesterday I stumbled across Brian and Justin Real Time Conversations on LJ here. I've just never run across this kind of interactive structure before in a "fic" (illiterate LJ user am I), and I was curious if anyone knew more about it (is it just one author, or a collaboration? will real-time events be reflected?).

Thanks!

Katy.

update

secretsolitaire was kind enough to link to the author creating this RPG (and explain what a Role Playing Game was to me!)

I've been following

bj_connect for quite a few months now. It's considered an RPG, or roleplaying game, and it's played out by

galedreamer and

mmmorpheusq. It does reflect some real-time events such as Thanksgiving, though I haven't ever seen them react to stuff like political happenings or anything like that. Here's more info (http://galedreamer.livejournal.com/75142.html).

There are other RPG's out there; a new one is currently playing out at

briank_solo and

justin_alone. Older ones include

beyond_babylon and

thefabtwelve. Have fun -- these things are very addictive. ;-)

Well, Ive never heard of

bj_connect but Ill totally check it out to see if its any good. :)
There have been other RPG's out there, the most popular being

beyond_babylon.
Because of the great job and spot on characterzations there was a community started for the people who watched

beyond_babylon to discuss. It was kinda a big deal. I think it was called yaddayadda. Either way the link is in BB user info. There were even icons made from the community. Good stuff.
