Well the title tells all. I'm brand new and before I start posting and trying to get into the flow, I was wondering and hoping if anyone had any tips or suggestions? If not, a hello is just as good

Hi Elumbra, welcome to the Gateway! ^_^ I hope you have plenty fun here!

Dude I totally got here befour a mod. Well welcome Elumbra, just like you I am also new. That is basically all I know. Oh here is a tip; You gotta have a required amount of words in a post to post it. Yepp it could get enoying cause you just can't make some lines long. But soon you will realize the art of blabbering of nothing. Which I seem to have mastered. Since I am doing that right now. So if you are still reading this then you must be some bored cause it is completely useless at the moment, and forever will be.

A Warm filled welcome from yours truely,
Pythonhier, Ruler of the Slithering Snakes.

You don't have to post a lot of words. It's only for rp threads really, and nothing stops you from posting. *points at his short post*

Hello Elumbra (interesting choice of username. . . is it related to the Alhambra in Spain?), and welcome!

It looks like I'm, what, the third greeter to welcome you to our humble abode here at Roleplay Gateway (Cause all of y'all beat me here by typing faster. Which happens. Quite often, actually.)! (I've been first for the last FIFTEEN newbies here! Except the other twelve where someone else beat me. . . But there WAS a straight chain of fifteen new members whom I was the first to greet! Lucky me! ........*cough*cough* Ahem. On to my welcome message.)

My name is Ylanne (makes a spiffy username too! ---> ), and I am the site's resident crime writer. I'm also an editor and part-time teacher. As one of the site Mentors (blue usernames ---> ), you should feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions, problems, suggestions, or requests in regards to the site, your roleplaying, and/or your writing. I would be happy to help you in any way I can, in any way necessary or desired. I respond to all queries within 24 hours. Because you are new to this site, I highly encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity!

I prefer modern/realistic roleplay, and especially character-driven stories (so basically literary work), but am open to almost anything. The only setting I will never do under any circumstances whatsoever is cybering, or inclusive of sexual content beyond what is seen in a PG-13 film. I tend to be advanced/literate and write upwards of 500-750 words on average per post, so I expect the same from most others, though I see you too tend to write as much. However, semi-literate also appeals to me, so two paragraphs can work well too. If you're interested in private roleplay, just drop me a line. (You can email me at ylanne @ sorrows.tk (remove the spaces), but don't send any attachments, or your email will go unopened).

Feel free to check out the links in my signature. I have an interest check you might like - a warning though: it's all modern and realistic settings. That being said, here's hope you have a wonderful time here! The folks round here are great (well, 99.5% of them, about 99.5% of the time. See Discussion and Debate board area for examples of not so greatness). You can find practically everything here that you've ever imagined or could want to write, read, or roleplay - and if you for some crazy reason you don't see it, feel free to create it. We encourage creativity - it's the reason the site exists. Other than Eric having way too much free time on his hands!

Blessings and peace,
Ylanne

Well hello back to everyone. I must be very bored because I did read Python's whole post three times and laughed each time I did. To Ylanne, thank you. I like your name as well, but no it has nothing to do with Alhambra. I've never been to Spain, but then again I don't travel much. I'm a teacher as well so it seems like I already have similarities with the people here. Thanks a bunch for saying hi, makes me feel warm and fuzzy XD

Welcome dude!
