Well, Fuck

Just got this back from the Rift Mods about Marty:
While the application itself is fine, we generally speaking, try not to let one player play more than one main character from a fandom. Obviously there have been exceptions, especially with some of the bigger fandoms out there but since BTTF has a smaller cast of main characters, we're going to have to deny your application.

Seems like a shitty reason to me, honestly, but whatever.
*sigh*

From what I've been told, it's character interaction. Even amongst the larger casts, they don't let people play two characters who are going to interact a lot and in-depth. Two different people interacting is less predictable and more interesting than one person going back and forth. That's how it was explained to me, anyhow. I don't entirely agree with it but I'm not one of the mods, so I can't do anything about it. (Which sucks, because I'm one of the few Dresden Files fans in the game, and I don't think I'm ever going to get a Murphy to interact with my Dresden.)

Yeah, that's how I was thinking about it after I got over the inital "god damn it" phase.

*patpats Ael* That sucks too. That's what I was worried about -- that I'd get a Marty, but it would be canon!Marty or something like that. Who would want to play that specific Marty? (Course, I've still got the journal and the idea for a side plot, just in case.)
