We are not who we say we are. I bet you're really fucking shocked by that, aren't you?
This is nothing more than a game with a bunch of people trying to have a little fun. We are not in any way affiliated with the celebrities we portray or anyone remotely connected to them.
We do this for fun in our spare time and make no money from it.

We believe that these journals are in no way libellous as there is no malicious intent, and no intent to misinform fellow roleplayers or anyone who may read the journal. We also believe that this constitutes "fair use" under section 107 of the US Copyright Law. These journals are nonprofit and meant as a commentary on a public image and not meant to use that public image for any personal gain.
Look! It's a FAQ. These are fun.
Original FAQ written by 'Craven Moorehead', this one heavily adapted by 'Ben Affleck'. (He swears a fuck of a lot more.)
Wow! Are you really [insert celebrity here]?!?! I LUV U!!!11 U R SOOO HAWT!!1
Sorry to break it to you sweetheart, but no. If you already know this and want to play along, that’s fine. Just make sure that you know and remember that you’re not really talking to a celebrity.
How dare you make [insert celebrity here] gay?! You sick, twisted bastard!
Hey now. It’s a fucking game. A lot of us are into slash. Slash is male/male or female/female couples. So it’s natural that our celebrities will end up going that route. We’re not saying that they’re gay/bi/questioning/what-the-fuck-ever in reality. We know they probably aren’t. We’re just having fun. Don’t like our kind of fun? Don’t read our journals.
You’re sick! You need help! And a life!
First off, fuck you. And I mean that in the nicest way possible. But seriously. We’ve all heard this several times. Several. It really doesn’t phase us anymore. So don’t waste your time and energy telling us how wrong we are for doing this. It’s a game, it’s a lot of fucking fun. We like it, we have enjoy ourselves. As stated said above; don’t like us? Don’t read us. It’s that simple.
I wanna play! Can I play? Please? Can I? Can I?
If you really want to play, you can fucking play. Find a celebrity you’re interested in and can follow a bit. Get established. Make a journal, meet, greet, get to know people. Post often. Be interesting. Be active. Be sure to visit the pages linked at the bottom of this one. It’s really quite easy.
The celebrity I want to play already has a journal! What the fuck am I supposed to do now?
You’re just shit out of luck. Once a celebrity has established themselves and been acclimated, they’re in the game. Double journals are as annoying as all fucking hell. Find someone else to play, there are still tons of celebs that don’t have representation. I’m sure there’s bound to be someone you’d like to play that hasn’t been taken.
Damn it, everyone good is taken! Fuck you all!
Christ, be unique. It’s not that hard. There’s a dog that’s smarter than most college professors. There are ferrets, cats, an Oscar, etcetera. If someone can be an animal or an award and make it interesting, chances are you can make a damn interesting human.
Can you add me to Studio 54 right now?
Sorry kids, it's not that easy. Don't IM, e-mail, comment to, or otherwise annoy the hell out of Ben, asking for admission into the community. He only adds the people he's told to add. He will not add people who ask him personally. To be added to the community, you must be recced. People with reccability for 54 are as follows; Ryan Phillippe, Amanda Latona, Cole Hauser, Elijah Wood, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Cameron Diaz, Benicio Del Toro, and Kevin Richardson. Ask them nicely to rec you and they probably will. Don't annoy/hound them. It's not nice. You are only eligible for reccing if your journal has been in existence a week or more and you have more than three entries. This is in an effort to keep the amount of "dead journals" to a minimum.
What's with those square bracket things?
Square brackets denote OOC (out of character). Get it? Good, now use them as fucking sparingly as you can.
Anything else, you bastard?
Yeah. The most important rule of role-playing. Always keep in mind that this is a game. That’s all it is. If another celebrity hates your celebrity, that does not mean that the person playing them hates you. Don’t let in character fights affect you out of character. Fuck around, have fun. Just don’t take it to heart, or it can really fuck you up.
