Hey folks,

Excited to get to writing with y'all. The winter weather is starting to set in and that means more time inside. More time inside means more time to spend on creative outlets.

A quick bit about me. I'm 37 or 38 years old. I'd have to sit down an do the math to be sure. I come from more of a fantasy roleplay background with years under my belt as a DM. I'm comfortable with most any genre and trend towards lighthearted writing with a fair bit of atmosphere.

Loves:
  • Horror
  • Humor
  • Noir
  • Fantasy
  • Sci-Fi
  • Playing support characters.

Enjoys:
  • Drama
  • Historical fiction

Mehs:
  • Edgy characters.
  • Romance for romance's sake.
  • Anime tropes

No Go's:
  • Sexually explicit content. (Fade to black is fine)


Question for the reader:
In the past, I've noticed most RPs I've been a part of have faded in the early stages due to rules around dialogue. Most of the time the rule is something like "All post must have 3 paragraphs or more." This has led to character introductions turning into...

'Exposition, random scene detail, character shifts uncomfortably, "what's your name?"

only to be followed with the same format....

"Exposition, character internal monolog, touches random scene detail, "Chet."

As I'm sure you've aware, this can lead to 50 posts for a fairly run of the mill introductions and systemic crib death of most interesting RPs I've seen. Apologies for my rant, but, dear reader, how have you handled this in the past?
 
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!​
