Quick question regarding etiquette here: Does a starter that doesn't have a claim on it, and no replies to it, constitute an open invitation?
For example, I understand Title (Username x Username) is clearly for a particular set of people. But if it were just Title, with no replies, is that a green light for me to jump in and begin the RP? (I know that I should read OPs Request Thread first).
I'm asking both so I don't jump into someone else's thread and so that when I decide to post a starter that I'm not waiting for someone to join for nothing. In my days of regular RP the norm was to just basically cast a line and see who responded first.
A starter is not an open invitation.
We have an Unfinished Tales section where you are free to join, however it's still always recommended that you contact the thread's owner before joining.
Any other section joining without asking is a big No
Hi! Some more friendly advice from some folks on staff!
This forum area is the intro forums area. Welcome to site by the way!
There's another forum on site for questions, where future inquiries may be seen by more people. It's titled The Rathaus! (Link!)
However, you can also contact anyone on staff with all the site questions you want! Staff List (Link!) If you go to the home page and look in the top right on desktop, or closer to the bottom on mobile, there should be a box that tells you which of us are online too!
I'll also go ahead and link Unfinished Tales (Link!) as well, just to make finding it easier. (Though, I highly recommend an explore around site!) And, as Otys said, still reaching out to the thread owner first is important.
Happy partner finding! And, may your muses sing for you!
And, since you hadn't posted an intro post yet; I'll leave my usual 'Hello' post here. It has a lot of other useful links in it as well.
Welcome to Inner Sanctum, New Blood!
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!
( 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!
Awesome! Thank you for helping. Last I was active in any kind of RP was quite a while ago (read: too young), but I'm looking around and reading how others are going about things, and I think I can pick up on their mannerisms. Thanks again!
I wanted to welcome you to the site, friend! You've already had your previous questions/concerns answered so I will spare you repeating but I also wanted to disclose that if you have any further questions or concerns to not hesitate on reaching out to any of the staff members. We are here to help you!
