Available for Adoption: Orlando Bloom

We are in need of a new Orlando Bloom for The Establishment on Journalfen.

His player must be willing to keep all backstory involving current Est pups (including the LOTR gang) which their players want maintained (most of this is friendships and shared sexual history). Orlando is not partnered with anyone at the moment and we would prefer that he continue to be written as at least nominally bisexual (even if the new player would prefer not to act on the hetero aspect).

Please note that our players will stone you if you write Orli as a twelve-year-old girl or an angst whore.



Specific Requirements: Must have AIM and must be able to tag via IM or e-mail or locked journal posts. Chat logs are written third person, present tense (the game is closer to a cooperative writing venture than a traditional rpg). A writing sample is required/must be approved for admission to the game.

The Game: The Establishment is a role playing game which takes place in and around an underground, international organization devoted to bdsm culture. The characters are - for the most part - celebrities.

The game itself is just over a year old and has approximately 50 players. Logs are played out in AIM or through journal/e-mail tagging and then posted to the pup's individual journals. Players are encouraged to post for their pups on a weekly basis but there's no minimum posting requirement.

Again, although an rpg, we are very much focused on the writing and most logs are written third person, present tense in paragraph form, with the end result being much more like co-written fanfiction.

For more information about playing in the game please read Strategies For Creating, Developing, And Playing A Pup In The Establishment and its associated links.

You do not have to be familiar with BDSM to write with us. We are willing to help the right player out. However, please note that we operate on the principles of YKIOK (Your Kink is Okay) and SSC (Safe, Sane and Consensual).

Due to the nature of the game - and where we are hosted - we do not accept players under the age of 18. Almost all material is rated NC-17.


This is not a first-come, first-served position. We require a writing sample from anyone wishing to play Orlando. Said writing sample must be a minimum of 2-3 pages long (previous rpg work, stories, etc) and as well, we will require a couple of paragraphs on how you propose to play Orlando (his personality, outlook, sexuality, etc) and a sample (200 word) post.

If you're interested, please contact me (the GM) at jennandanica@gmail.com and include your writing sample. If we're satisfied with your writing sample, we will ask for your proposal and sample post. Please note that it may take us (in total) a couple of weeks to decide on a new player as Orlando has been a popular pup within the game and we want to ensure we find the best match.

I'm not applying, wouldn't know how to play an RPG if my life depended on it, but I did follow some of the links in this post and wanted to thank you for the free education. *g*

I've read some bits and pieces of RPG's before today and enjoyed them, but didn't understand how they worked. I'm a bit better educated now, thanks you your pages. :)

One of these days I'll work out what muns and pups are and then I'll be set! :)

Muns are the players. Pups are the guys we play. For example, Gerard Butler and Hugh Grant are my pups, and I'm their much maligned mun.


That help? :)

Oh please let someone brilliant and a little mad adopt Orlando!!

YOU would be excellent in an RPG as your fics are awesome! :)

Yes, thank you. If I have any more questions, I'll be sure to put up my hand and make that 'Oo-oo' Arnold Horshak noise.

*Just cause it annoys my kids.* ;)

Thank you (both). I'd love to have a go, but there are too many things against me, the biggest of which is the time zones issue. I'm in Australia, on a single-line dial-up connection. Can't be done. :(

If anyone ever starts an RPG without the chat requirement, I'm there! ;)

I'm gonna get out my notepad and scribble down 'e-mail tag' and 'jf/logs' and then scurry off and find out what they are. *grin*

Now there's a writing project for a bored someone.

"RPG For Dummies."

I'll take two copies. :-)

I think I'd best stick to reading. *g*

Get thee behind me, Satan Orlando.

but, you say that like it's a bad thing ...

is that a PROMISE ?????

*thinks of a few people I'd like to see him eat in EST. Slowly and with obvious enjoyment.*

quick question for the mod in terms of real time committment for playing a pup. i notice an average of a couple of postings a week per character, but wonder at the back-ground time that goes into developing storylines and muns communicating with other muns re: pups etc. do you have a rough gestimate for hrs/week? or is that too much a 'depending on' kind of question?

The Est is fucking awesome at the moment! The whole JLM calling Sean master had me on the edge of my seat last week, was bloody worried that it was all gonna go pear shaped. Oh and Karl's email to Lin made me wanna cry! I could fangirl the Est girls ad infinitum - but I won't! And I hope whoever runs Orlando gives him some balls! Would love to see Peter Wingfield with him, maybe while Guy watches....

It's a hell of a lot of fun.

That's kinda what I'm afraid of. :)

Thanks for the extra details. I'll seriously think about applying for a pup after the PhD is done, but now is really bad timing. I've always wanted to have a go, but there are only a few characters that press my buttons, which rather limits my options. Orlando really is very tempting!

But I don't know that you'd really want me for EST, anyway. My slash isn't usually all that kinky.

oh but see, you already did. the 'ground zero' section of 'how to say i love you'. how elijah keeps leaning on the word 'love'. i'm just feedback-deficient. sorry, should have said how much i loved it.
