How long have you been at DDD? What drew you here in the first place? What keeps you here?

Inquiring minds want to know. :3

October 24th (or around there... I haven't checked in a while) will mark two years for me. I honestly can't remember how I found this place. I know I saw it mentioned on FandomWank just before I joined, but it didn't really click until a couple months later that it was this game. Tif and I had been looking for a place to play Edgeworth and Larry (I don't know how she convinced me to change my mind to Phoenix) and had looked at a few places (Econtra comes to mind), but we somehow ended up here, and the rest is history. XD

What keeps me here is the playerbase! Everyone here is seriously awesome and a blast to play with. I know it's not perfect, but I've always admired how open we are to new players and that so many lesser-known characters get tons of CR. I also love that the premise allows us to set the mood of the game and that it's easy to implement canon events as well as instigate cross-fandom ones.

Basically, I love everything. Whee~~

I remember when you guys joined! I was stalking you two from the start, your interactions were just so interesting.

[maraich]

Three years in December.

Back when I started someone had contacted me on AIM. They wanted me to RP as Maraich with them, which at the time I was a little uncomfortable with. I went ahead and gave it a try.
I had only ever RPed AD&D before, so RPing in fandom or on Livejournal was completely new to me. By chance I clicked on their journal and noticed they were part of DDD, so I took a look. I had no idea what applications were or anything at the time and the whole process was completely confusing because there were a bunch of different communities for the same place.

I ended up joining after posting before I made an app (oops). At the time I wasn't aware of a few things and was willing to let people get away with more RP faux pas, so it was a pretty rough beginning. The people I was associated with also weren't very well-liked at DDD because of some of the plots they pulled.

I ended up sticking around and got to socializing with different people, and as time went on I looked more into Maraich to settle on a more consistent personality based on various chapters of the series.

I've stuck around because of the various CR I've enjoyed with Maraich and, as you know, a few of the amazing plots we were able to pull off. I look forward to setting up more plots in the future.

Still on hiatus but...

Let's see, January 19th will mark my 2 year anniversary here. My RL friend Des, who played Euram Barows, told me about the game and kept telling me about the silliness that goes on around here. At the time, I haven't played an lj rpg for well over a year, and starting up on playing again was the last thing on my mind. Well I finally gave in, and apped a character, not really expecting to get accepted, and since I was going through a G1 Transformers kick at the time, I apped Grimlock. Needless to say, I was surprised and excited I was accepted and got to work on bringing the madness that was Grimlock into the game. Des fell out of activity not long after I joined the game but I stuck around to see what would happen.

As for what keeps me here, I guess it's how this game is so different from the other multifandom rpgs I've been on. All the other games I've been in were either AUs or some how characters where transported to the setting of the game, so this game was different for me. Also, the player base is awesome. ^^

I HAVE BEEN HERE FOREVER AND WILL NEVER LEAVE EVER

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

I dunno...July of this year? /can't be arsed to check

I joined after I ran into Tophie on RPS during one of my periodic bitch sessions about how hard it is to find Ghost in the Shell players. I liked the idea of being able to stay in canon, and, well, GitS cast. Took me like a month and half to write the app because I never met a task I couldn't put off. I picked up Death the month after that, I think, because...actually, I don't remember. But Death is cool.

Then Orly dropped Batou and the Delirium player dropped her and Desire idled out and I think it's 'cause I smell funny.

Anyway, still here because the community is very welcoming--WHO KEEPS RENEWING MY PAID ACCOUNTS?!?--and I can play exactly as much as I want without feeling pressured.

[machine-purist.livejournal.com]

You do not smell funny.

[ridethetiger]

I apped to DDD on November 7th, I think, but I was accepted closer to the end of that month, so nearly a year for me! I came here because of Brandi and Grimmjow when I became enamored with Ggio's character in Bleach last year and I was interesting in giving roleplay a try. It took me a while to feel comfortable in DDD but I'm glad to still be here, seeing the Bleach cast grow along with others and making wonderful friends and CR.

I'm really thankful since being here has me the most inspired creatively in years. .o. ♥

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

I first joined this fine community on April 13th, 2007, so that means I've been here for over over two years! I was enticed here by a friend into playing Jordan C. Wilde from "Oban Star-Racers" (she wanted a Jordan to play off her Eva "Molly" Wei) and I've been here ever since! I've picked up and dropped many characters since then, but I can't seem to leave this place entirely (not that I particularly want to or anything).

As for what keeps me here, pretty much everything Phoenix said, and then some. DDD is my first ever experience in the world of LJ role-play, and while I've looked at other games (and even did a short stint at Sieben) none of them hold a candle to the awesomeness that is DramaDramaDuck!

[majorhacker.livejournal.com]

It was so much fun playing with your Jordan. ;3;

[galaxyfrisbee.livejournal.com]

I'M YOUNG. AND I HAVE BEEN HERE ONLY BUT SIX MONTHS. March 26th, 2009. What drew me here happens to be "I've traced his IP to the Western Air Temple"

What keeps me here--I have no friggin idea sometimes.

[pandorabox]

About a year and a half mid-October for me :3 I honestly don't remember how I found this place... I think I was randomly surfing fandom journals on LJ and stumbled on it. I hadn't RPed in a while and I'll admit I was looking for a new game (not on LJ, though. I had never RP'd on lJ before). DDD looked really REALLY interesting, so I watched it for a few days before deciding I wanted to join. It was my for LJ rp :P I was really into Trauma Center at the time, so I apped Derek Stiles as my first character.

I have a tendency to idle out of games sometimes if they don’t keep me interested, and I almost idled out of DDD… but then I came back and apped Kaito on a whim, and the CR he made is what eventually kept me in the game for so long. Such a sociable character made friends so easily, and I eventually got involved in more and more plots and interacted with more and more characters. This helped open up OOC relations, and I’m here today because I love the game itself, as well as the playerbase. It’s fun, and I genuinely enjoy writing for it, and I haven’t gotten bored of it yet :3

[touchofgenius.livejournal.com]

I've been here for around six months, I think *feels young*. Idk, although I do know this is the longest I've been at any RP ever. Also the only one where I've had more than one character.

I joined because of Elata - Birkin isn't nearly as much fun to play without a Wesker to cling to, and I was literally just looking for any game that had a pretty big RE cast. So yeah.

I'm sticking around because of Elata and everyone else that I've met too because you're all AWESOME hellz yeah. Plus, I really like the premise of the thing. It's a lot more original than the typical LOL WELCOME TO A DIFFERENT WORLD GUYS. GOOD LUCK GETTING HOME 8DDD And then there's the whole "HOLY CRAP THESE PEOPLE ARE SO WELCOMING WHAT IS THIS MADNESS" thing which is just flat-out amazing.

you know what that is?

that's a FUCK load of hearts.

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

I'd have been here a year in October at some point (can you tell that I really can't be assed to find out when? ^^;;).

I'm here because Miri made me join, and I stay because my cast would hurt me if I left (and they know where I live ;A;)

[trinities]

YOU MAKE IT SOUND LIKE WE'RE FORCING YOU AGAINST YOUR WILL OR SOMETHING

/hides handcuffs

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

IT'S ALL YUE'S FAULT. 8| She posted on an Avatar community (that I rarely checked; I just happened to be looking that day-- clearly it was ~*fate*~) advertising the game and asking for castmembers.

I love how open-ended this place is, and how you can create your own plots so easily. DDD's concept is easily my favorite of an LJ RP. 8)

[doomedyouth00.livejournal.com]

I was approved for my first character towards the end of November, 2006. My reason for joining was being bullied into it by Shiro sobsobsob ilu rly~

No, really. Back then I wasn't into anime or manga at all and had never done online rping, but Shiro was insistant and told me that I didn't have to app an anime character necessarily, and she said I should app Kuzco from Emperor's New Groove... so I did :'D

... idk what keeps me here specifically. The wonderful friends I've made, the cracky goodness that comes from the viruses and just the fact that it is good fun, I guess XD

[darkmirror-vr2.livejournal.com]

I've been here over two years now! I apped Cori waaay back in July '07, and....I can't remember how I originally found DDD, I think my sister pointed it out at one point because she stalked a lot of LJ RPs.

After a little bit of flailing I fell in love and called it home ever since~ :D

[machine-purist.livejournal.com]

DUDE, I REMEMBER WHEN YOU INTRO'D.

and i stay for all of you guys ;;

[dreaming-oflove.livejournal.com]

Lol Senior Citizen right here.

So Fall 2006 I had started college and had been pretty miserable because of it, mainly due to homesickness. I had recently dropped from Cross and was feeling I needed a new RPG to play at to help distract me from moping all the time. And that's when Kristel, who I knew through the JackxKimiko comm was all over me to join DDD.

To be honest I almost didn't join. There were only about 10 or so members at the time and almost all of the characters were Final Fantasy characters, which I wasn't that familiar with. But I ended up doing it and bring Tohru Honda from Fruits Basket on board. She didn't stay too long, but I apped Jack soon after and played him for quite a while and well, I've been here ever since! :O

I'm still amazing to be playing at one of the "big time" RPGS. Pretty crazy man~

Edit: Forgot to say why I'm still here! Well basically because EVERYONE IS AWESOME. Seriously. DDD is like a second family for me. Whenever I feel stressed or upset, DDD is a really safe place for me to come and just have fun for a while without huge pressures. You are all so nice *_* Plus I love all of the characters and the interactions. Every now and then I'll catch myself thinking "Oh! wouldn't it be great if So and So met So and So!" And see if I could work it out. Plots are fun and so is the crack. :D

I apped Issei back in July of last year, so it'll shortly be a year and a half. That's certainly the longest I've been in a panfandom roleplay, and the roleplay I used to run only lasted for two years, which is the only other one I've been as invested in.

I first really found out about it through roleplaysecrets - more specifically, I conversation with luna_hoshino/Yuan, although I still prefer to think of her as Rin. She mentioned that she had a lovely Fate/stay night cast (and I checked and saw that Archer was played by one of the people whose fics had got me into the fandom in the first place), and I had just started writing Issei and wanted to work on writing him more, so I considered apping him. Then a couple RP!Secrets posts later, there was this big long thread about how awesome DDD was, so I decided to app then and there.

What keeps me here? Besides the awesomely bizarre crossover crack pairings that I love and adore? Pretty much everything here is a reason to stay. He has amusing and/or cute relations with people, all the muns are the nicest people I've met, twice a month I get to torture my character in fun new ways... It's basically one of the best internet experiences I've had, ever. Ilu guys.

[mybffharo.livejournal.com]

I originally started back in the middle of April in 2007 with Aikka from Oban Star-Racers. At the time, I was on the OSR fan forums a lot and did a tiny bit of rping and I saw an ad go up looking for OSR characters at a place called Dramadramaduck. So after flailing about since I knew nothing of how LJ worked and my html skills were positively failtastic I managed to post an app and was accepted. From there I started picking up more and more characters (my namesake, Toph, was my second), even breaking into the double digits before I found my sanity and came back to a couple characters.

As for what keeps me here, DDD has always been like my rping home that I can't bring myself to leave. I've met so many amazing people here who I've come to regard as friends, and I've got a bunch of amazing castmates that I wouldn't want to trade for the world. ♥

[butlerfromhell.livejournal.com]

LAWL I've been here two and a half years on and off. I first apped in April of 2007, and since then it's been a few months on, a few months off. I'm so bad.

But I first heard about DDD through Amy, who I met here at school and hung out with a lot. During our hang out times, she'd suddenly go into a story about this RP she was in and how CRAZY stuff was happening. And then she'd be in chat and she'd talk about the crazy stuff that happened in chat. After almost a full school year of that, I had to find out what the hell she was talking about and apped for myself. First character was Wolfwood. He lasted a long time.

Basically what keeps me coming back is that I'll get an itch to roleplay, and I've always felt most comfortable playing here. It's casual, it's cracky, it's serious, and it's so easy to get into and get going. Jumping in is super easy because pretty much everyone is so welcoming and ready to play. You people are awesome. :3

[machine-purist.livejournal.com]

Ah, Wolfwood!

We love you, Waffle~

[eibborn.livejournal.com]

Huh, nearly two years. I didn't really realize.

I'd like to say that I joined because this was a game in which I could play Mewtwo without his ridiculous power making me insecure about godmoding, but really it was more like, "I have a good feeling about this one- let's give it a try." So I did! And that is how I got into my first LJRP.

I'm still here because of the first reason above, because of the CR that happened despite Mewtwo's best efforts, and because I've made some friends here. I like that this game has room for both crack and drama, and the original concept is really a plus. I actually prefer 3rd person RP (Just look at Mewtwo's journal: RL, RL, RL, Rl...), but for some reason DDD really works for me.

/goes back to homework

[vonkarmas.livejournal.com]

... I've been here for a week and two days? /shot
But you guys make me feel like I've been here forever! I love this place! ♥♥

Though to be honest, I had no idea what the premise of this place was. So it took me like a week of reading the rules and stalking to figure it was just a blogging place for different characters. Yeah, that took me a week. >>;

But I've been on LJ roleplays before, playing Naruto characters. Oh God. LOL! They were great, but they died easily. So, I figured a nice multifandom comm would be good and I've heard about this one... It also took me another week to remember that it was this place. :||

[samuraiprosecutor]

This place loves you too!

[riderofpegasus.livejournal.com]

Been here for over two years now, joined because RU WOULDN'T LEAVE ME ALONE ABOUT IT, but it's fun, so I'll stay here for as long as I can. Keep on rocking, DDD ♥

[8fingerswhiskey.livejournal.com]

Its gonna be a year in October, and my aunt was the person who brought me to this place (she's Usagi-mun and Indiana). I didn't expect Tom to be all that great with a lot of people, since before I started here I was having some trouble with another RP place and they were rather... hmmm... well, rude. With me going to college, and me trying to study and RP, for some reason they had a minor problem with that o.O.

I stay here because every single one of you are darling, wonderful, and I love you all! ^(^^)^
I've met great people, and I keep meeting them too. xD

You're all so tolerant of my grumpy Irishman :3

Nothin' but love for you, nothin' but love <3333 ^(^^)

[eschatologist.livejournal.com]

I joined August 2008, on a complete whim, with our first Shinji player. We had both recently dropped out of the same RP and were looking for a new home - and she mentioned this place. To be entirely honest, I didn't think I was going to last long when I first joined. I thought it was interesting, but I was skittish and shy - And generally, I wasn't sold entirely on the atmosphere.

However, one week later, I found all my previous thoughts and assumptions were absolutely dead wrong. I loved the people, I loved the atmosphere, I was all over the place with ideas and I had never seen so much concentrated amazing in one place. Despite being terrified of new people, I found this place to be like an old pair of mittens. That became even more prominent when I bumped into Stefan, then into Vivi, then into Hermy and Box and Kasumi and - Well, I could keep going.

I stay here because of the general amazing, all the fantastic CR, my awesome castmates (and adopted castmates), and most of all? Just the people. ♥

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

Hey, you want to know a secret?

[trinities]

LET'S SEE I found this place April 1 of 2008, because I found Ru and Orly's journals and went hey I want to play with them! And so I apped Itsuki on a total whim right then. And I usually have absolutely horrible staying power, so I was as surprised as anyone that I'm still here a year and a half later. BUT I AM NEVER LEAVING, everyone here is amazing and I love all the plots and everything, and how much more freedom you have to work through canon and get a bit AU with development since the characters aren't transplanted from wherever they came from.

[trinities]

ALSO BY THE WAY Y'ALL ARE THE MOST AMAZING GROUP OF PEOPLE TO MOD EVER. Seriously, in the... oh god idefk, it's only been a couple of months since I was modded and I'm too lazy to check the modcomm and see when I became a modpole but it's been a while, there's just been so little wank and drama compared to other comms and so many amazing player-run things and I love you all and want to make you happy ;______;
