Ey, guys, it's me! Your friendly neighborhood Dragon here! It's been a few months since I posted an update, so, here it is!

We've got several things in store for you, and by several, I mean a lot.



Am I gonna talk about them here?


Pff, no, it's a surprise!


But, anyways, I'm going to revisit a couple of things this time around so the newer people are in much better understanding of what we do here, as opposed to what every other substandard rp site does.

1.) Open Ended Plot!

This is an open ended plot. This means that the plot is not required for direct involvement, and the ending is far from written because it's going to be written by you guys. We'll provide the situations, you writers influence an outcome! Don't ever forget this, and be creative with your responses. It's your story!

2.) Respect thy friggin' neighbor!

That being said, we're pretty relaxed in terms of activity, word count and other minor things, which surprisingly hasn't backfired on us because trolls usually FLOOD IN and act like actual asshats when it comes to leniency.

But they're nowhere to be found.

Guess they know not to mess with my shit.

That being said, do not, do not, do not, do not, DO FUCKING NOT pressure someone into posting, writing in a specific style, or changing a thread simply because you don't like it or whatever. I appreciate and respect honesty, and if you feel the thread going nowhere, please, discuss it with your fellow writer. But for the love of Crichton, don't go out of your way to express dislike for a specific type of thread after joining it. This site runs off of the fact that we operate on the aformentioned leniency policy, a glorified "No pressure" policy, if you will. There is nothing more damaging to a writer's psyche than to hear ANYTHING resembling "I don't like your writing."

So, "I don't like the direction this thread is going" or "Are we going to do anything with this thread" or, my personal favorite, "I remember other threads starting like this and I saw them dead end" shouldn't be UTTERED on a site built on creative writing. If you seriously can't think of a creative way to keep a thread moving, then brainstorm with your fellow writer. Don't express dislike or disdain, especially publicly in my CBox where Etro and everyone can see your obvious distaste. Seriously, this place is supposed to be an escape from negativity.

I've already wasted two paragraphs on this. Please, don't make me do this again, I'll mega flare a bitch.

3.) Okay, lemme slide the soapbox back under my desk...

Really, guys, I just really like writing. Like, seriously, despite having practiced talent in drawing, singing, and a penchant for MLG level gaming, this is one of the most effective ways for me to deal with anything resembling depression. This place was literally conceived by me getting on Skype and asking Kupo if she wanted to make a site with me, and, though the plot hasn't moved far (my fault, I know ) this site has come a LONG way. A VERY long way, and we're still here, troll free for the most part, with active threads and people having a good time.

In the end, if this becomes a pressure or a negative influence in any way, take a step back. Talk to one of us, any of us, be it staff, writers, new members, guests, your fucking cat, I don't care, allow this place a chance to have a positive influence on your psyche.

It's all I ask~

Sincerely yours,

Bah-humbug-hamut
