FeatherWriter she/her Posted March 29, 2011 Author Posted March 29, 2011 Hmm. I should totally edit that last part of the post out and make her get an account... 1
Chaos he/him Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Hmm. I should totally edit that last part of the post out and make her get an account... Quite possibly
FeatherWriter she/her Posted March 29, 2011 Author Posted March 29, 2011 I'm trying! She's so stubborn!
Comatose he/him Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Props for creating an intro-title that captures interest. I was immediately hooked, desperate to know who "that girl" was, where I had seen her before, and why everyone was so unexcited to see her again. Also, the ellipses implied there was more to this story, and I'm a sucker for implied closure to come. I am Comatose, a bit of a lurker on these boards, but a prominent member of the Mistborn RP, and the creator of the "Photobucket Dance" which you may or may not see if you are lucky. I also type off the cuff most times, and rarely (never?) proofread, so please grammar police me at every opportunity. Also, if you are interesting in practicing your writing, and having a ton of fun, I'd recommend joining the Mistborn RP. It's great fun, and I've learned so much since I joined (ask Chaos about my first character applications, haha), that I think you could too. Most of us prominent members on the site are also aspiring authors, and it's become a pretty nice community for encouraging each other to grow as writers. Okay... mentioning killer dance moves... check... shamelessly plugging the RP... check... now what? Ah yes: Welcome 1

Anyways, welcome to 17th Shard! I apologize for the late reply; I've been a way for a while with school and then Megacon. I'm Kerry, one of your friendly neighborhood admins (I won't spike you, but watch out for Will; he likes to use atium sporks in his hemalurgy experiments). I've been awarded the title the Highprince of Stuff because there isn't much around here I haven't stuck my hands in yet, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask me over PM, AIM, etc (or, you know, if you just want to chat, too). I have to say, from reading this thread, I like you already. I'm glad you decided to join us!
Joe ST he/him Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 I have to say, from reading this thread, I like you already. I'm glad you decided to join us! Exactly what I want to say .... stealin my thoughts
KChan she/her Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Fun fact: Not only do the 17th Shard admins shanghai people, we shanghai thoughts! Bwahahaha! Oh, and tinfoil hats are banned on the site.
FeatherWriter she/her Posted March 29, 2011 Author Posted March 29, 2011 Hmm, so do you keep Spook around to eat all the illegal tin? Also, I'm up for chatting. My AIM is FeatherWrites, but I'll warn you I'm terrible at chatting. I'm sure Chaos will tell you; he's been stalking me already...

FeatherWriter she/her Posted March 29, 2011 Author Posted March 29, 2011 Oh, and I totally forgot to mention the RP! I meant to. I looked into it, but I'm a bit hesitant. I've never roleplayed before, and I'm not sure exactly what all goes into it. Also I'm afraid of it taking up too much time.
Eerongal he/him Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 I stalk all the ladies. That sounds about right. 3

Just mosey on down to the RP forums and say hi. As to the "too much time" thing, we barely even hit a post a day, so... definitely not a time sink. /endshamelessplug
KChan she/her Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 That's not a problem! We'll be happy to show you. It's basically like writing a book or a fanfiction, except you're writing it with a bunch of other writers. It's actually really fun. And I've added you!

FeatherWriter she/her Posted March 30, 2011 Author Posted March 30, 2011 I don't know, I'll think about it. I'm a little committed to SovStates at the moment, but I'll look into it.
Comatose he/him Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 (Turns on creepy Inquisitor voice)... Joooiiinnnnnn Ussssss... (Turns off creepy inquisitor voice) Honestly, I've never done any RPing before either, and I'm not really into the really structured stuff. The reason I like the mistborn RP is the storytelling aspect of it, which is pretty much all of it. In fact, I'm even adapting a character from the RP to fit into my novel, and the addition is actually making the story fit together a lot better. If you are worried about time, it moves fairly slowly, so you can kind of control how much you post by how many characters you make. One or two characters should be very manageable. I understand, however, if you have commitments. Those things are awfully pesky. I just thought I'd mention the RP, since you mentioned you like writing and Mistborn. The RP is also the only thing I'm really involved with on 17th shard, so I tend to talk about it a lot... Either way, I hope you have fun here at 17th shard
FeatherWriter she/her Posted April 4, 2011 Author Posted April 4, 2011 Okay, since it got posted in the oft-forgotten Creators Corner forum, I figured I might as well link to it here too. Chaos convinced me to post my Worldbuiding tournament audition on here so if anyone's interested, the link is here. I'm the kind of person who's desperate for comments and criticizm so critique away! [/shameless plugging]
Silus - Shard of Flame he/him Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Shameless plugging is WHY THIS BOARD EXISTS. So fire away! 1
