Novice Here goes InkyWinks

[InkyWinks]

Hi Inner Sanctum! Nice to meet you all.

Who are you? Don't worry, I'll try keep it sweet and simple. My name is InkyWinks, 26 and from The Netherlands. A couple of years ago I used to be pretty active on a different forum, but life got a bit too busy to maintain proper posting schedules, leading me to take a step back. Writing has always been a fun escape for me though, and definitely something I want to get back into now that I find myself with a bit more time on idle hands.

So, what do you like writing? In terms of settings and themes, fantasy and/or historical just can't be beat. It gives us as writers the freedom to flex our creativity to conjure up different beings, cultures, religions, social orders, anything really ~ what's not to like?! Conflict is another important ingredient I look for in stories. Not just conflict between two main characters, but overarching conflicts that push our characters. Generally, I get a huge kick out of world-building and character development so flawed characters that stumble through complicated, changing circumstances, and come out the other side just a bit different, that's the sweet spot.

That's enough from me for now ~ have to leave some things for the request threads! I look forward to exploring the forum further and unashamedly snooping in some of your stories. Thanks!

P.S. Favourite movie: Pride & Prejudice ~ what's yours?

** WELCOME TO THE SITE! **

You sound like you have some wonderful writing habits! I think you will find plenty of wonderful partners who will take full advantage of them!

We also have a shared setting, The Outer Sanctum that is primarily fantasy based with some exceptions that you can look at as well.

If you come across any questions as you explore the site, there are always some friendly faces in chat that can help!

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!

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!​
