The Welcome Super Topic

G’day Vex good to have you on board! I’m Sky a Captain from Weatherwatch. Feel free to reach out to any guild leader if you need assistance but @Sellalellen is the First Word of Thornmouth and an amazing mountaineer! She’ll be able to help you out with any questions you might have!
As a new recruit you’re at trust level 1 but don’t worry it won’t take long to build up your trust levels! If you love the magicians I’d suggest reading up on Books like the Magiqverse

I personally love the Lev Grossman book series and think that the tv series is fantastic (although STILL can’t get the latest season in Aus :rage::triumph:)

If you have any questions don’t be afraid to reach out! I’m sure an accomplished Waggoner will be here soon to give you a proper welcome!

Edit #1 Oh also there’s a Q&A thread here if you need more help as well! And all the Thornmouth threads are here! Happy reading :grin:

Hello everyone! I go by Rossignol and it’s been a while since I’ve joined a forum sooo I’m still figuring it all out :wave:

I’ve just started reading The Monarch Papers: Cosmos & Time and am working towards catching up on everything. The Guide also told me I’m an Ebenguard, which is pretty cool (I tried redoing the test but I ended up choosing the same answers again haha).

Other than that: I’m French, an aspiring author doing a Master’s degree in communications, and also an avid reader- which is how I ended up here! I can’t wait to engage more with the community :star2:

Hello, all! My name is Troy, though I opted for the username both for a catchier “title”, a moniker with more than one syllable, and to give a preview of how I spend some of my free time.

First and foremost, I want to thank my dear, dear friend, @Louisa from the bottom of my heart for introducing me to this strange, wonderful, and delightfully curious world of yours - well, ours! Secondly, while I’m a little slow on digging into the densest thickets that are the collected works (I have Flora and Fauna ready to go after I make my way through the first volume), I have had such a blast growing familiar with the forum’s makeup and refreshing atmosphere. I can’t wait to only grow more entwined with what transpires as time goes on!

As for me, I am a Flinterforge who, while less than deft or adroit with handmade creation, likes to think of themselves as a creative, nonetheless. I do get paid for it semi-regularly, so I’ll say I’m a professional vocalist and an amateur actor with a rabid interest in D&D and other tabletop role-playing games, especially in these more secluded times we’re living in. I’ve also had the chance to direct and work as a stage manager, so I suppose amateur theater addict would be more accurate. I occasionally catch the spark and start to write something down based on some campaign, character, or even song I’ve heard, but I do wish it was a sort of inspiration that was easier to bottle.

I’m hoping to live with my SO and her beautiful pitbull-lab within the next month (almost 4 years strong now) and am trying to figure out, for lack of a better phrase, what comes next? In the meantime, I cannot wait to love this world and the magiq that it inspires on the edges of perception at even a cursory glance.

[Brevity is rarely my strong suit - apologies! I’m just excited to get into the spirit of the narrative and nervous to finally post.]

Thank you. I’m slightly overwhelmed with the extent of all of this…information<?>. I’ve read the Primer and the Rules. But I think it will just take me a little bit to get my bearings to understand navigation and posting. This forum isn’t quite like any other forum I’ve navigated.

Take all the time you need. Most of us started by just lurking around and watching for a while before getting involved in discussions. It’s a good way to learn how the forum works and start getting to know the common usernames around here.

Well, you must be on to something since the esteemed @CJB has liked your reply! So, I shall lurk and reply to conversations until I get a handle on using this platform.

(And thank you, @CJB, for creating this environment. So far I’ve enjoyed my time spent with The Monarch Papers and look forward to more fun.)

You’ll find @CJB is a lot more approachable than one might expect from the busy author type. Though recently he is extra extra busy.
