Novice Hello from UK

[RHS0220]

Hi,

I've just joined from the UK. I've been using other PbP sites since 2007, so I've been roleplaying/creative writing almost 20 years. I stick to contemporary human. I think it's called sandbox? I do all kinds of pairings, although I prefer to write male characters. I can do females if the story really strikes me. I'm late 30s.

I do have one question: I read that we should change our avatar promptly so that we can't be confused with a bot. But I don't reeeeeeeeeally want to use a photo of myself. Can I just use a generic photo I took? Maybe a pet?

First and foremost; it's nice to meet you! Welcome to our home! If you haven't already, please make sure you read your welcome letter in the top right! It should be the little icon! That's where all of your future messages will end up!

Your profile pic can be anything you want so long as it's within site rules. No children or nudity. And, we aren't social media, and definitely not a dating site. So, you definitely don't have to use yourself.

( There's multiple pages to this; just click/tap the arrows! )​

Second! I bet you're wondering how to start Role Playing and where to go! I think it's pretty fun to explore the forums, and I highly recommend doing so! Most thread homes, if not all, have a pinned post at the top of them to tell you what goes there!

However, the Request Threads are pretty self explanatory; Here's a Link! There's plenty to look through, but you could also build your very own! Tell people what you're all about and get those writing partners! Take your time though; there's never any pressure! If you were looking for an open story you can just jump in straight away, you can find them in Unfinished Tales!​

Next, I've created A Sanctum Tour to help find a lot of cool places on site! There's plenty to do while waiting on replies or to give yourself a break every now and then! But, these are some of my favorites! The first shout out goes to The Sanctum Tavern! Here you can find many a thing! By the Hearth can be found there and has many wonderful discussions; my personal favorite is where everyone talks up their writing partners! Want to see some cute pets or share your own? Pets of the Sanctum is where to go! Feeling up for a challenge? Check out the Monthly Writing Challenge and give it a whirl!

And, there's so so so~ much more! Please take the time to explore!​

I think that's everything... Oh! I'm Mio, by the way! Just a friendly changeling and hydration bot! You can find me and several others in Sanctum's Chat Room! If you have any questions, you can always pop in there for help! I will say though, the best people to ask are staff! Green Names are Heralds and Hot Pink Names are Virtuosos which are the best to ask questions! Blue Names are Moderators and Purple Names are the Administrators, which help with tech support and discipline! You can find out which are online via the home page! On PC it'll be to the right of the screen, and on mobile it'll be near the bottom!

Now, get out there and write! May your muses sing for you!​

Welcome to the Sanctum

Your avatar can be literally anything other than a child or something pornographic. Basically no one (in fact it might be literally no one) on site uses an actual image of themselves.
