Hi sara! Welcome to the site! I'm emsrocks, but you can call me ems. I hope you enjoy your stay here.

An adorable doggie!

I have doggies of my own.

I look forward to seeing you around!

Hello Sara! Welcome to the site, I'm excited to see that you've decided to join our small happy family <3. I'm Arctic, I've a member on here for two years and it's a super great experience for you to enjoy! We're such a close-knit group of people and there's always someone you can thread with. A lot of people are open to threading most of the time if they have a character in the same district! I see you've already joined the slack group, so I'll just suggest to hop onto there when you have a question.

Again, I'm excited to see you've joined and can't wait to see what you have to bring!

~~also can we just talk about how precious ur dog is thanks~~

Hi again! Figured I would just post in here again rather than make a new thread. I've spoken to a bunch of you already, but I'm back! There's just so much going on here that I got overwhelmed since I hadn't done this in years. I got some experience somewhere else now, but really wanted to come back because you all seem so amazing and I love how well the site is run and everyone's writing style.

So I'm just wondering - does anyone have any ideas on how to get started here slowly? Like I know many of you have like a huge number of characters and probably networks in different districts and stuff, and I'm wondering how you got started? I'm so tempted to just dive in but I don't wanna get overwhelmed and burn out. Sorry if that was unclear, but do any of you Wizened Ones have any advice?

Be sure to read all the guides about creating a character! They are there to help you and were vital when I first joined; they are great at teaching you how to write an acceptable bio. In terms of writing and such, at first, stick within your comfort zones. I wouldn't advise taking on more than you can handle. Whether that is only a couple characters and a thread for each of them, that is fine! When I joined, I made a single character and used them to fully understand the way the site worked -- I did a oneshot and threaded a couple times with them to understand the site and my own writing style.

If you're looking for lots of opportunities to thread, make a character in a really popular district. Career districts are always popular, although some middle and lower districts have a wide range of people/characters to write with. There are active members with multiple characters in all districts, really! A good thing to do would be to join the #threading channel on Slack, so you can reach out and have people reach out to you -- and get that sweet sweet plottage. c:

Hey Sara!

I highly recommend doing what Aza suggested - that is a wonderful way to get started. Also, I would advise chatting in Slack channels (make an account if you don't already have one!) with other members to better assimilate into HGRPG. That is how I started making the friends I have here. And to get started on writing, DM people on Slack or PM them on the site asking for threads. That's how I started on the site, and now I've been here for well over a year and have grown so much as a writer. It can be nerve wracking to ask people, I know, but trust me, from my experience most members here are very welcoming and would probably love to write with you.

Feel free to PM me with any further questions or if you would like to thread!
