DL_Snake Posted May 20, 2003 Report Posted May 20, 2003 Hello there. I'm new to this forum but I enjoy literature (writing and reading) and I got to know of this place just today. Can someone please please guide me as I do not know what I'm supposed to do here.
Cheyenne Posted May 20, 2003 Report Posted May 20, 2003 Well, look around, read, write...most of all enjoy. If you like what you see, apply at the recruiters office for an official membership. We are a community, a family if you will, of aspiring writers caught up in real life. Welcome my friend. Cheye
autumn_sun Posted May 20, 2003 Report Posted May 20, 2003 =Pip sticks her head in, offers the newcomer some welcoming cookies and a piece of encouragment gum= Hi! And welcome! I'm not good at this sort of thing, so I'll just go about my business now! =she bows and then scampers off, leaving a trail of eraser crumbs with her=
Degenero Angelus Posted May 20, 2003 Report Posted May 20, 2003 I already talked to you, but welcome again. Have fun, and enjoy the reading.

DL_Snake Posted May 20, 2003 Author Report Posted May 20, 2003 Why thank you all for your warm welcomes =) Nice eyes you got changeling
Peredhil Posted May 20, 2003 Report Posted May 20, 2003 Cabaret: general topics about members and subjects. Differing from many sites, we try to avoid spam and debates. MOST of us eyes the others Politely refrain from incorrect grammar and spelling in our answers, as even in casual fun threads, we can grow. At the top are some 'good reading' threads, and a thread with link to a semi-real-time "Shoutbox" chat area. Between the Shoutbox and Private Messages (PMs), it helps to avoid personal conversations between a few members which exclude the rest. Assembly Room: Single writer threads/multi-authored by invitation only. Although comments happen in thread, substantial feedback is in the Critic's Corner - which only Initiates and above can see. Banquet Hall: Poetry and Haiku and such. One of our most popular areas. Conservatory: Roleplaying/roleplayed threads. Again, the "behind the scenes coordinations" largely happens in the Greenroom, a member only area. Library: previously published works from other sites, and all those quizes, and other internet things. Please attribute the original source as much as you can. Plagarism isn't just illegal, it's Rude! Recruitment: read the threads at the top, and apply! The greedy Elder Wyvern will get to you... eventually. (his real life is VERY college student busy- patience is appreciated. You can always help Melba tweeze the hair off her back...) Welcome! Peredhil hugs and rushes back to Real Life
Peredhil Posted October 3, 2003 Report Posted October 3, 2003 Question: Is my post still accurate? Would a sticky or help file benefit from a break-down like this? Or perhaps have Wyvern email something like this to new people? A question for Orlan, Yui, or Rune, or one of you smart people - When someone makes an account, could we automatically send them something like this?
Ayshela Posted October 3, 2003 Report Posted October 3, 2003 Remembering my days of stumbling aimlessly about here trying to figure out what the flipping 'eck was going on.. may i add a heartfelt YES PLEASE to some kind of breakdown such as this for new people? tangent related note: on the main page, the parenthetical (poetry) (RPd stories) (where the heck do i put this) etc at the end of the hallway descriptors - maybe i'm just incredibly stupid, but those didn't make it through the confusion until i'd been here at least a week.. :-\ is there any reason why the specific parentheticals couldn't be placed by the hallway name, readily visible, with the more extensive description below?
