Novice Pom here!

[pomegranate]

Hey all!

I'm Pomegranate, but if addressing me as a fruit (no matter how amazing the fruit) is a little funky for you, feel free to call me Pom. I use she/her pronouns.

I'm so excited to have stumbled upon this gem! I loved writing collaboratively when I was younger. I discovered the internet at a bit of a young age, but roleplay and writing quickly became one of my first creative loves! I was introduced to forum-based roleplay through a childhood fandom over 10 years ago.

Unfortunately, I have had a complete creative block for the past 4-5 years.

I've been working through some major personal stuff this year and find that my muse is slowly coming back. I've been getting into reading fiction again (definitely send over any recs), and I think that has sparked some motivation to write. I love love love some easy-to-read romance and/or sci-fi. They really got me out of the slump initially. I've been trying to get more into fantasy as well (might give GOT a read), which I'm also particularly interested in exploring through roleplay. Beyond the things that have gotten me out of reading slumps, I am generally an enjoyer of any contemporary or literary fiction that makes me think, feel, and/or cry. (Ocean Vuong awaits me on my bookshelf.)

In addition to writing, I love drawing and visual arts, which I'm more open about. My avatar may or may not be my own doodle.

I'm not sure if anyone relates, but I've always been more private about writing, as I enjoy keeping it as a small, secret little thing that I do sometimes. It somehow feels more vulnerable to write, personally, and that I have to dig way deeper to place the words that truly resonate with me.

I think writing collaboratively is particularly special. There is nothing quite like being able to share that creativity with a stranger somewhere else in the world. I really hope to get to do that here!

It's nice to meet you all !!

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!​
