I'm such a newb.

Well I can assure you that we won't be gentle. Nah, I'm just messing with ya; just like next few users to reply to this thread will do.

Welcome to FoG, Modesti! I'm one of the global moderators here. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact the eerie-blue, bloody-vanilla, skinned-peach, or ectoplasm-green people (<--- that's a link; don't let the colors fool you).

Interesting avatar.... it's kinda creepy.

So, tell us a bit about yourself. How long have you role played? Or, are you new to it? What do you like to write about, and where - or from whom - do you get your inspiration? Who's your favorite author?

Have a nice day! And if you hear of anything regarding candy conspiracies, please contact my private investigator firm immediately.

Thanks for the welcome, and may you enjoy the rest of your day too.

Sorry if the avi gives you the creeps, it's a reference to a saying I've gotten in the habit of telling people who ask me how I'm doing.

Lemme see...I've always done some form of Role Playing or writing for as long as I can remember. It started as acting out stories with my aunt through stuff animals, then evolved to writing down scenarios, to full-blown stories and interactions written with other people (namely my friends). As for as advanced, in-depth role playing goes, I've been active for about three years, give or take.

I'm into all sorts of genres, although I don't do Fan-based or Military related. Horror, Romance, and Fantasy are at the top of the list. Yaoi, Sci-Fi, and Adventure being somewhere in the middle.

It's been a while since I've done one x one (haven't really been asked, or searched for a partner ) but I'd love to try. I can do adv. lit. but it takes a lot of energy out of me and I tend to obtain a not-so-nice mood.

I'm a frequent user of Gaia, which gives me free range to RP and have a good read every now and again, with all the perks of having 3-D interaction if I so choose.

I don't exactly have a favorite author. I read when I'm bored but am not too picky as long as it's good and doesn't start out too slow. I'd name Stephen King, and maybe James Patterson though.

My inspiration comes from the world around me, and occasionally, what's inside.

Wow, all that looks a lot longer than what it did when I said it in my head.

Hey, Modestl! Welcome to the FoG... Hope you get lost in the mists with us!

I like the names you gave to the colors of the ranks, Agenda.

You're into military-based role-plays? Nice. Agenda/The Ghost Writer's actually in the Air Force (I believe that's what it is). Do plan on joining the military when you're older?

I hope you enjoy yourself here!

Welcome to FoG, Modesti! Like Writer said, that is an eerie avatar, but I must say that I like it in a creepy sort of way.

In case you haven't gotten around to the rules yet, our forum has set an R-rating for content. Sexual scenes are permitted as long as you are cautious how you address them. Basically it all comes down to wording and phrasing. As it says in the rules: "Sexual scenes and extreme violence are allowed, but straight up pornography is not." A good rule of thumb is to use the phrasing of romance novels where it alludes to the actions without saying it bluntly. If you are in doubt, feel free to PM it to an IC moderator who will be able to tell you if everything is kosher.

I hope you enjoy your stay on FoG.

Thanks guys. Ha. Glad you like my avi because I plan on keeping it that way for a while.

No...I don't do military based roleplaying...and thanks for that Loki although I did skim over the rules a bit already.

I hope I become a regular user here, but we'll see how things go.

Thank you for the warm welcome.

Welcome to FoG, Modesti! It looks like the others have covered most of the advisory points already, so I'll just say that I hope you enjoy your time here! I'm the other global mod along with Ghost Writer, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask one of us or any of the staff!

By the way, I can't stop watching that little animation in your signature. It's just...so amusing... *mesmerized*

I got rid of it. Sorry about that.

Thanks for the greeting.

A Gaia person! How did I miss you??

Welcome to the FOG, Modesti!
I'm on Gaia as well, same username as here. Add me.

Looks like everyone already covered the basics, so I'll just add my welcomes to the basket and wish you many wonderful experiences here in the FOG.

Enjoy the swirly mists!

Will do. Thank you so much.
