Hi there, hello!

[galled]

Welcome welcome!!

Sorry late to the party, but I hope you enjoy your time here.

Feel free to jump into any thread. Everyone is super-friendly! :wing:

What kinds of stories to you like to write?

[trickyLA]

Hello! Thank you for the welcome!

I wouldn't say you're late or anything, this is only my second day here after all! So far I've been enjoying perusing the site and playing a few forum games here and there~!

I'm still a little shy, but so far everybody has been so nice so it makes me want to put myself out there a little bit more...is there a good place to start for that? Are Guilds better or Hangouts or maybe The Lounge for casual discussions?

As for my writing...it really varies I guess? Like I mentioned in my first post, I enjoy Homestuck ( ) so I've written quite a few RPs and aus for that but I also have various personal OCs that I've been developing either by myself or with partners depending on the story and the genre for all of those can vary. I really just enjoy character building and world building in general, hehe!

sadly not much action in the guilds so hangout or lounge threads probably the place to pop into. You are welcome to visit me in my Lemon's drop in thread.

Npixelz is good to converse with, check out their fairy garden thread.

Kitalpha Hart's hangout as well.

Under the forums tab in the header above I go to unread posts & usually respond to those.

Thanks for the advice and the suggestions, Lemon!

You've been really helpful this whole time and I really appreciate it! I'll have to take a gander at those threads you mentioned asap, haha.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

I'll try to do the game threads with you so you can earn feathers.

[trickyLA]

Oh, that's so nice! I'll hop back on there for now, haha.

Lemon is right (she's awesome!). When you feel comfortable, you can start your own hangout and see where it takes everyone.

Oh, I don't know Homestruck or what aus is/are?

Do you tend gravitate to certain genres?

[trickyLA]

Homestuck is a webcomic that defies the genre and the medium which it was made. It's a character driven story about growing up and also the end of the world. It's almost impossible to read online anymore because the actual site is broken, but I've linked a wonderfully maintained fansite that can explain it and help you to be able to read it better than I could.

An 'AU' is shorthand for Alternate Universe. What I meant by that is that I'll sometimes tell tales or RP in a universe that's not fully canon to the comic. For example, swapping the species or blood colors of certain characters and seeing what they would be like in that situation.

I'd say I gravitate towards Sci-Fi/Fantasy and Psychological Thrillers for when I'm reading. I love a nice Mystery or Crime story as well.

I love sci-fi, although I can't do the scary sci-fi, but I do love a good murder mystery.

I just watched the Thursday Murder club which was cute & well done I think, big name actors in it, made it perfect they are older & it is set in a senior living complex.

[trickyLA]

I love Time-Travel sci-fi stuff but you get a loooooot of undercooked stuff for that honestly! Black Mirror is a fun sci-fi anthology, but some of the episodes are scary!

I just looked that up, looks like it's also based on a novel! Might have to put it in my list on Netflix for later...and definitely watch it before reading so that I don't get mad about whatever changes they probably made!

I'm better watching before I read so I am not disappointed... especially if they don't put in favorite parts of the book.

I was so disappointed with the Eragon movie when it came out because I had high hopes for it after reading the series.

Now I find I have to look up how true to the books the movies are.

[trickyLA]

See, you get it! It's a much better experience for me to just watch the adaptations first before really digging into the books, much less stressful and I get pleasantly surprised by what I find in the book versions.

I'm right there with you with Eragon!!! I loved those books and the movie just did not deliver!! Though I guess to be fair, the book is so long and you only have so much runtime in a movie.
