Getting Started
Like writing with other people? You're in the right place.
Getting started is simple. Most of our rules are anything but complicated - be nice to others, don't cause problems, and have a good time pretty much sum them up - and our setting is wide enough that you're likely to find something you're interested in. If you can't find something, why not make it?
Still, you should check out our rules and setting basics. If you're still with us after giving those a look, the rest is easy.
Head over to our Discord Server and introduce yourself. Most of our story planning and worldbuilding happen there. Yes, there's memes.
After that, sign up on our forums. If you look and see a thread with the 'All Are Welcome' tag, you can start writing immediately if you've got a character concept that fits. All the other threads are invite-only, but that's why you joined the Discord server.
Before writing, you might want to take a look around the wiki1) and talk to other players on Discord to learn more about the setting before you settle into a character concept. If you're not planning anything too crazy? Then dive right in.
We foster a welcoming community. Players are encouraged to ask questions and come up with new ideas. We're glad to have you!
Joining Plots and Creating Characters
Most writing takes place in plots, which are stories helmed by a Game Master - “GM”, for short - who guides the plot and handles the general administration of keeping things moving. The best way to find a plot to join is to hop into our Discord Server, introduce yourself, and let people know you want to play. A channel exists to make this easier (“ #looking-for-rp ”), but new players can feel free to start off in #general.
A list of plots that have chosen to make wiki pages to stay organized can be found on the Plots page, but it's optional for GMs and less up-to-date than Discord.
Once you've found a plot and talked to its GM about how you might fit in, head over to Characters and use our character creation form to make your first character. Don't feel like it has to be perfect - you can make changes later!
Stories take place within 'Shards' that might have their own unique settings, rules, and other details that could impact your character and their future, so ask around or read up to learn more about the world your character will live in.
