Shipping in the Alternity-Verse.... Same-player vs Multi-player

Aliethen asked:

With the cast list coming out, it was revealed that a lot of characters who played opposite each other in storylines were in fact played by the same person. How did you balance that? Was it ever hard?




I felt that deserved its own thread. Discuss!

Just going to drop this here.

After Bella died, I re-read her last post and I absolutely loved that the last thing Rod ever said to her was about Hydra. I remember thinking it was just perfect and I wondered if Bella and Rod's players had decided between them to leave it like that.
Obviously now I know that they had the same player.

But I thought it was wonderful, and I don't know, just a bit amusing that Bella was most likely thinking about Hydra when Sirius and Remus turned up to kill her.

So thank you for that because it was one of those perfect Alternity moments of something funny happening during masses of angst.

Actually, that's something that was masterfully done over all of Alternity. Humour amongst the angst. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have been able to read Alternity because the sad stuff would have been too much. Jenett and Kiya would always say to me "this is Alternity, of course it could get worse" but for me, it never did. That was mainly because of the sprinklings of humour you guys did.
