nnySometimes it worries me, how much and how deeply people think about ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
milliways_bar. I think about it a lot, but it's not so much thinking as daydreaming about Crowley in an undone bow tie and open collared formal shirt (damnyousophie) or trying to figure out how good Aziraphael would be with a sword.
I don't ponder the metaphysics behind the bar. And I think it might be something to do with the fact that I created it. It's not something I need to think about because I know the reasoning behind it. And I'll let you in on a non-secret. There is none.
Milliways was a drunken idea that turned out to find its audience. It was in the right place at the right time, and it's grown to ridiculous proportions because of it. I'm proud of what we've done, and I'm proud of what I consider to be some sterling roleplay that I've taken part in, and I'm proud of the amount of control us mods have managed to maintain over something so sprawling.
But theories? No. I'll never come up with theories. Because it is a game. A game that I made. I can't take it that seriously because I know that I'm really not all that bright. Or possibly... possibly bright isn't the word. I'm not deep. I'm not given to that much introspection. When I get introspective I have a tendency towards getting lost inside my head, and coming back to myself to realise that it's gotten dark outside and I've got nothing done.
In 'The Restaurant at the End of the Universe', aptly enough, there is the Ruler of the Universe. And if you've read it, then you know how I view myself (sounds arrogant, I know, but bear with me). I say what it occurs to me to say, what seems right at the time. I do what it occurs to me to do. I don't think about it too much beyond that, because I'm too busy enjoying myself playing.
If you choose to put the pieces together into a puzzle, that's entirely your perogative, but everyone's puzzle is different. Everyone has a varying number of pieces, and everyone has parts of a unique picture, and it will never be finished.
And the significant thing? There is no box. There is no limit, and there is no image as a reference. You can make of it what you will.
Personally, I like how it looks fragmented. That way I can see a little of everyone's picture at once.
