hello! you can call me shay. I'm excited to be here :) since my old site went extinct, I've been looking for a way to get back into this!
I've been writing for about six years, and while I may not have an extended list of characters, the ones i've created are pretty fleshed out. I normally write mock-history but I love bridging into fantasy as well. my responses can range in word count, but it's largely dependent on my partner. Whatever your writing style is, I'll do my best to match it. I look forward to writing with you all <3

** WELCOME TO THE SITE! **

Huzzah for fantasy! You'll find many wonderful people here with similar interests! Too bad your old site went under, but you landed on the best one.

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

Hello, and welcome! I hope you find as much use for your pens as you do your knives, Shay!

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!​
