Novice New Here, Just Saying Hello!

Hello, Sanctum!
A tabletop wanderer discovering the wonderful world of forum roleplaying​

Hi everyone!


I’m Sawyer, and I’m really happy to have stumbled upon your little community of writers.


I’ve been playing tabletop RPGs for quite a few years now, and I’ve had plenty of time to wear out my notoriously unlucky dice across all sorts of universes: Warhammer, Call of Cthulhu, Dungeons & Dragons, and plenty of others.


I even ended up creating my own little universe with some friends, this time from behind the screen as the GM. I had them playing a team of monster hunters in a setting that happily mixed influences from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Supernatural and The X-Files.


Needless to say, there were probably far too many things lurking in dark basements waiting to murder my players.

A few months ago, a friend introduced me to forum roleplaying. Since then, I’ve been wandering around the internet looking for new stories and new people to write with.


Along the way, I’ve discovered that I absolutely love collaborative writing, whether it’s with one partner or several. There’s something really fun about creating characters and stories together and never being entirely sure where they’ll end up.


As for my writing style:


I usually write in the third person, with replies averaging around four or five paragraphs, though I’m pretty comfortable adapting to my partner’s pace and post length.


I generally reply several times a week.


I also have ADHD, which sometimes results in a very simple system:

“Oh, there’s a reply! I’ll answer that right away!”


…or my brain mysteriously decides that reply never existed. ​

So if I ever seem to have forgotten about you, please don’t hesitate to give me a little nudge through PMs. My partner already spends a good portion of her life reminding me about things I’m supposed to be doing, so you’ll be in excellent company.

I’m looking forward to discovering the community, your worlds, your characters and, hopefully, getting to know some of you through the stories we’ll create together.

Looking forward to writing with you!


Sawyer​

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!​
