There's actually no good way to follow-up such an impressive title, I'll let you know.

So, we'll just cover the basics.

I am Altair, although I will sometimes answer to Adain (the Winged One) as well. I've been roleplaying for at least a decade, although my earlier works are atrocities that shall hopefully pass out of living memory. For the last few years, I have taken time away from written, post-by-post roleplaying and focused on writing both original and otherwise.

I also play DnD, both as a DM and a player, and I have a penchant for online MMORPGs. Other interests include music, art, reading obsessively everything I can get my hands on, and learning languages. I have a Discord server that began as a place to share my writing and ended up becoming a dragon's hoard of wonderful people and friends. But, back to the important bits.

Every writer strives for perfection, but while "excelsior" makes for a wonderful motto, realism tends to creep in at some point or another. In light of this, I'm decent at writing fight scenes, scenery/setting, and worldbuilding. I still struggle with choppy transitions, stilted dialogue, and sometimes get caught up in inanity and get sidetracked from the actual point.

I expect that I'll be brushing the rust off and learning the ropes of this new system for my first few campaigns. I look forward to writing with you all. Please take care of me.

Heya!!

Amazing to meet you! I'm Philomel, though I respond to Phi. It's both my main character here and my screen name.

Pretty awesome to have a new face here. I'm one of the mods and so I'll be happy to answer any questions you have and will get to your character approval for you soon!

Welcome!

Hello Phi! It's good to be here--I didn't even realize such places still existed anymore, to be honest. I'm more excited than you can believe, tbh.

I might end up dragging some people here, depending on whether or not this is their "thing."

We need more people!! Please do drag! As you may have read we are underway with a phoenix project to revitalise the site at the moment and fresh blood would be amazing!

I play D and D, though I mostly DM myself. I also write a lot in my spare time on my novels and poetry. I have dragged as many writers here as I can and hope we can grow again.

Oh and we don't often use the chat but rather use the discord. You can catch us there using a link that I'll post in another message

:snickering:

I'm there, I promise.

I write a lot of fanfiction, though I'm not one of the better-known fandom authors ~yet.~ Eventually (as every author says) I will get published. XD

I know a few other people who roleplay as well as write; I'll give them a heads up if nothing else--it should be fun!

Fresh meat is always nice, with a little seasoning.

Welcome aboard.

Thank you all! I'm certainly enjoying myself thus far.
