Jester Pure Imagination

[Mr. E]

Hold your breath ...

... Make a wish ...

... Count to three ...

Who am I?

The shadow following the clown, the practicality beneath the theatrics; otherwise known as the man behind the curtain. My unassuming nature and analytical mind do not betray the hidden Machiavellian puppet master that lurks within my soul. My lengthy decades long history of the written word is a passion project that is near and dear to me; yet so rarely realized in my day to day life. It's the quiet soul of the silver-tongued poet that seeks some release and escape from the normalcy that haunts my everyday. Though it is a bit rude to peak behind that verdant tapestry to unveil what lies beneath, for posterity I'll acquiesce. I've made my career in IT, and have a full life enjoying the friends, family, and passions that are truly the things that matter most to me. This right here is more of a side project, not for anyone else, but simply for my enjoyment. I get along well with most people, and can find common ground in nearly any scenario; but I also pick my partners carefully with a judicious scrutiny. With experience comes perspective, and I've got leagues enough of it to understand where to invest my limited time. That being said, if I reach out to you - it's because I admire something that I saw, and it's one of highest forms of praise I know how to give.

Anyone is welcome to also reach out to me, as I am not one to ignore and ghost on others. You should be aware that my penchants for writing are almost exclusively on the darker shade of the pale light. There's room for comedy, levity, witty acerbic sarcasm, and even affection; but those are all considered seasoning to me. They are sprinkled bits of enhancement to further develop the story. Above all I love to tell a good tale, to entertain and to feed. So I'll take a moment to explain that last word. How do I feed? It's quite simple - the collaborative writing process has been my favorite because my writing partners are offering up their mind and emotions into their replies. A well crafted response is like a three course meal to me, and that is what I devour. Compelling reciprocation ignites and sparks those creative juices to flow and enter into that well articulated dance of a back and forth repartee.

Just a few more bits of housekeeping that may also help - and in quick bullet pointy style to not waste more time!
I work from home, so chatting during the day is perfectly fine
My replies are not rapid fire, so please don't expect that, one a day or every other day is my speed
I am above all a gentleman and will not take advantage of the kindness of your virtual company
This is a hobby, not my life. If this hobby were to start to interfere, it can hibernate at the drop of hat
I'm not afraid of critique, nor of giving it - but the respect given is respect requested
Above all I'm very patient, but I do ask for communication if you're going to be absent, and I will do the same

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!​

Many Welcomes,
Hope you found your way around the site okay. Sounds like you have alot in common with a large number of the regular Sanctum Dwellers so I imagine you will have little issues finding willing partners. There's more here than just Roleplaying, so if there's other literary persists you want to follow , there's likely a space to express them here.

My advice for Newcomers:

Read the rules. ( Non Negotiable)

Read a few Request threads ( RT) .

Make your own RT.
Explore the site, discover it has a ton of resources to make your stuff look cool .
Go back redesign your RT.

With regards to request threads, remember sometimes is as important to say what you really do NOT want as well as what you do. Also the bump rate is quite high so it's worth scrolling back aways for potential stories.

If you are stuck , drop by chat or look for names in staff colours. Green , Blue or Purple. Someone somewhere will endeavour to point you in the right direction.

Look forward to seeing you around the site.

Nyx.
