Other than posting on Slack or the chat box, how does a new person to the site find roleplaying partners? I currently do not have any characters accepted, but it'd be helpful to know so once they do get accepted I can jump right in. It seems most topics are private, I'm used to websites with a mixture of private and open. How would one of you go about finding new partners?

Hullo Dorian!

We are a super friendly community who are totally willing to jump in on writing with anyone pretty much. Now seeing as we do have a lot of members with a lot of characters, I would look at peoples character directories(Click me for a quick link) on the site to see who share in the districts of your characters. Usually the character directories will have bio links and blurbs so you can read about the characters and pick and choose as you see fit. From there, you can message the person on slack with any plots you might have and you can start threading that way.

Option two, i believe there will be a Ratmass blitzathon, dont quote me on this, where there will be tons of members willing to jump into threads and its a really great opportunity to meet the members and the characters of the site. I remember in my first couple weeks on the site we had this event and it was the perfect introduction to the wonderful community of very willing writers here.

Option three, feel free to hit me up on slack or PM and we can talk threading once your characters are accepted. I know what it is like to be the new member too and worrying about this, so i am more than willing to share the hospitality that the members here have shown me!

Hope this helps!
Ryan!

Like Ryan said, you could go look through character directories, but some members don't have them, so I usually use:

warehouse

You are going to need to make an account on here anyways if you want to enter your characters into the reaping and activity checks. I use this as all of their characters (most people put them into the warehouse once they are accepted). Although, on warehouse it doesn't show the blurbs about characters that most directories have, but it does have a quick link to a bio if you want to skim through the character's bio.

I am with Ryan on the blitz-a-thon, I don't know if they are going to host one (they usually do) , but it is a great way to connect with new people. And you also could just ask any of the members if they want to thread (if they have an accepted character). All members will be happy to thread!

(btw: you have to make an account on warehouse to see other member's profiles and characters)
