Make sure you save the version that we include below, not the Tumblr samples or else your size and quality will become degraded. You can find the instructions on setting it in the corner via the FAQ page and remember at present to change your theme’s coding to use the older customizer, as the new version has a bug that resets things after edits.

Welcome to our Spotlight On … feature! Today’s questions will be answered by our writer for Cooper Anderson.
Q1. Cooper- I noticed in your audition that you said you have played Cooper even before he was on screen.  Did you have to change your writing style at all as Talking Gleeks ins a canon RP?
A1. I did have to modify him a little. I first played him when all we knew was his name. I had him be a doctor, but luckily I didn’t make his character overly serious. He was more settled than canon Cooper, but he was still Coop and he still had good banter with his brother. Then, when we found out he was an actor, I joined another roleplay and he was closer to canon Cooper than my first version of him. As soon as I saw him on screen, I started playing him as being slightly more clueless (but well-meaning) and tried to bring out his humorous side more. That’s the version I carried over to TG, although I’m happy the mods also liked the way I embraced his more serious side because I definitely didn’t want to play a caricature, one-liner kind of character because, after a while, that gets dull and there’s not much you can do in terms of development.
Q2. How do you come up with Cooper’s tips?  They’re insane, yet hilarious
A2. I haven’t really come up with as many as I could/should have, but I just usually pluck things from thin air. I usually watch selected scenes from Big Brother when I need to get into Coop’s headspace, and the way his lines were delivered gives me a lot of ideas. Yay for good writing and good acting.
Q3. what kind of relationship do you think cooper has with his dad?
A3. I think he has a rocky relationship, just like most children who have different ideals than their parents. I think they tolerate each other, and I like to believe they’re fine with talking to each other and hanging out, but Cooper has seen more of the world than his father and he has different ideas of wrong and right, so I’m guessing that’s a source of tension for them. I don’t think his father is the root of all evil, though, I think he’s simply the product of a different generation (albeit one that should be learning from experience that conservative views perhaps aren’t the greatest to hold), so I think their relationship could be a lot worse.
Q4. Were you attached to Blaine as a character and is that one of the reasons that made you want to play Cooper?
A4. Yes, I love Blaine. Kurt was my original reason for watching Glee, and I loved Blaine from the moment he arrived on the scene. My usual RP character is Kurt, and when I don’t play him I tend to gravitate towards characters that are involved with Klaine because that’s the dynamic I’m most interested in on the show. I’ve played Finn for almost a year now, and enjoyed the Furt relationship, so it seemed only natural to try my hand at Blaine’s brother. Plus Matt Bomer is awesome.

Timeline of Events for 3x22 ‘Goodbye’ Saturday 26th May

8-10PM - Rachel and Finn decide on wedding plans; Rachel discusses what’s to happen with her Dads; Finn reaches a decision.

Talking Gleeks Hiatus Update
Could all Talking Gleeks writers please read the update posted earlier regarding the hiatus. We’d like to hear from everyone about whether or not they would like to take a break while the show is between seasons. We have posted a list in the OOC of whom we’ve heard from thus far. If you aren’t there, please get in touch with us over the weekend!
To clarify for anyone who is confused about the hiatus protocol for those that are staying active or followers of Talking Gleeks - while the show is off-air we run what we call our hiatus storylines. These can be anything from trips to encounters to arguments between characters. The only real rule of thumb we have is that nothing that would be classified as out of character for the Gleeks can take place, i.e Puck would not turn gay, Quinn would not suddenly decide Yale wasn’t for her. 
Yes, we know that by running any sort of storylines we are technically breaking from canon but this is our way of staying active and having fun while Glee is between seasons. When the show returns, we overwrite our hiatus storylines with whatever is shown as having taken place on screen.
Spotlight On … Feature
Would you like to ask some of your favorite Talking Gleeks writers some questions? Here is your chance to. From the week of the finale onwards, TG is running a special Behind the Scenes Q&A with our writing team. Each week a random selection of character’s writers will be selected and you will be invited to submit to the main RP page any questions you’d like to see them answer. 
These can be about anything from their favorite aspect of their character to why they decided to RP as them to begin with. We are now accepting questions for Rachel Berry, Mercedes Jones, Emma Pillsbury, Noah Puckerman, Quinn Fabray, Sam Evans and Santana Lopez for the week beginning 28th May until this coming Sunday.
In the case of a writer’s absence, we may change up the order, depending on which writers have answers prepared.
Thanks all!

Anonymous asked: What are you going to do about Finchel? It's so depressing that they might have broke up, will you have it seem like they don't know.

Hi Anon,

We’re a canon RP so unfortunately we can’t ignore something as impacting as the Finchel parting of ways that happened at the end of the episode. As for what we’ll do at TG over the hiatus, we’ll put the official timeline for Glee on a pause and move into what we call our hiatus storylines.

What that means is that while we continue to answer questions and write goings on for the Rachel and for Finn, whatever the writers have occur for the characters may not carry over once Glee returns in September. It’s our version of filling in the blanks between seasons. We won’t have anything majorly impacting happen, but they may take trips or have discussions or have other small events happen that aren’t out of the realm of possibility for Rachel or Finn as we know them in canon.

Anonymous asked: This is such a great group! You're so organized, in character and professional!

Hi Anon,

Thank you for the kind words! I’m sure that I can speak on behalf of everyone at Talking Gleeks when I say we put a lot of time and thought into what we do and we’re glad you enjoy it!

Have you had experience writing as the character you’re requesting before? Be it fan fiction or role play? If not, can you give us an idea of why you want this role? Yes I have. I think I’ve roleplayed him around 8-9 times, I just love Mike and HSJ! (:

Sample of your writing as the desired character (please include either a sample set of questions and answers [preferred] OR both a sample set of questions and answers AND a para sample):

How was the dinosaur prom? 

I loved every moment of it. I felt bad for Blaine that Brittany banned hair gel, although I was glad I didn’t, my hair looks super greasy when there is some amount of gel in it. Plus, dinosaurs were a bonus, I’m secretly a dino nerd. Tina looked incredibly stunning, didn’t she?

Congrats on getting into Chicago. How will your relationship cope when you’re apart?

Thank you, and it was all Tina, she’s the most amazing person ever.

Tina and I have such a strong bond, after all, we’ve been together for nearly two years. Yes, we’ll be apart most of the time, but we’ve planned it all out. She’ll be coming every weekend to see me and I’ll be spending some holidays with her.

Did you even think that you’d be in this position three years ago?

No. I never danced outside my room, I was a footballer who never really talked. But, glee club opened me up, I knew I had a gift and meeting Tina and falling in love was the best thing that has ever happened to me, I’m the luckiest guy on earth and I wouldn’t change the past three years.

Welcome to the team, Sofie!

We’re very excited to have a Mike back amongst us and I’m sure our writer for Tina is doubly so. Everyone, follow Mike Chang.

Anonymous asked: I have a suggestion. Maybe each week you could recognize one of your roleplayers and call it like the talking star of the week or something. Just to recognize their hard work and talent. :)

Hello Anon,

We actually have a new feature called Spotlight On in which we allow our followers to ask questions to our writers.  That is our little way of putting them in the forefront and letting them have recognition from the  other writers and followers.

As for a “star of the week,”  I don’t think that’s a good idea at this time.  We’re a team here at Talking Gleeks, and I think our Spotlight On feature works just as well.

talktoterrischuester asked: so, we can create mini storylines for our characters over the four-month hiatus? Can I let Terri date people? like, random men in Florida she can mention in passing? or maybe visit Lima to get an update on the lima losers? i guess i want to know what extent we're allowed to play around.

Hello Terri,

Any and all of what you’ve just ask is fair game.  We allow small storylines to that effect that won’t really mess with canon too much, and if my chance Terri is back next year and acts as if it was her first time back in Lima we’re allowed to null out the Hiatus trip.  

Mostly our small storylines just give us things to do while the show is on break.

I hope that answered your question!
