Artisan New Writer Incoming

[Carmella]

Hey all! My name (at least in this little corner of the internet) is Carmella, but you're welcome to call me Carmel or even just Mel for short. I'm in my late twenties, and have been writing with others online since I was about ten, so I think I have just a little bit of practice at it. My last forum home died out several years ago, though, and since I exchanged offsite contact info with my partners from there and continued to write with them through other means, I never bothered to find a new one. Sadly, though, the last of my writing partners seems to have disappeared on my, so I set out in search of a new site where I can start up some new stories, and my search led me here.

As to my writing, admittedly, I write a lot of fan-fiction, or at least fan-fiction adjacent works. I do also solo write and have no problem with world building and crafting unique plots, but I find that in collaborative writing, using an already existing work as at least a base helps everyone start off with similar expectations. I'm mainly a huge fantasy nerd, so the vast majority of my writing is in that genre. Other favored topics include historical fiction (although not always super accurate- I'm no historian), and occasionally some sci-fi, with a smidge of romance tossed in along the way.

Outside of writing, I work in foodservice management, so I work a lot and have some odd hours. When I'm free, I spend a lot of my time taking care of a menagerie of fur babies (two dogs and two cats), hunting for new tv shows, movies, and books to obsess over, and running D&D campaigns. I also occasionally journal and crochet when I have the energy, but I often don't with my work schedule, so I channel most of my creative energy into writing instead.

Anyway, introduction now out of the way, I'm looking forward to meeting all of you fine folks, and hopefully finding some new writing partners.

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!​
