Good day fellows,
My name is Murphy, and I can’t tell you how glad I am to find something as unique and interesting as this. Hailing from bonnie Scotland, I am currently studying for my degree in Mechanical Engineering.
As of right now, I’m am going to read up on everything and anything related to this, luckily I’m in between terms, so this will be a pleasant distraction from the grind of studies.
Looking forward to getting involved and getting to know everyone.
Oh, almost forgot. Thornmouth, all the way!

:wink:

Welcome @Murphy!!!

I think you’re our first Scottish Mounty!

Your guild leader is @Sellalellen so if you have any questions you can PM her or any of the Wagoneers! There’s also a Q&A thread you can check out!

Make sure you read through the entire first post and the forum primer as both are really important!

Once you’ve done that you can introduce yourself to your guild mates!

I’d recommend you start with the books as they’re the best way to catch up! Finally tell us a bit about your interests!

Hello from Texas,

I found the assessment thru Facebook and was drawn to the symbols. I like the idea of a crowdsourced story as well. I started reading flora & fauna today. I write fiction featuring LGBT characters as well as essays on my medium page. I have been keeping up with fantasy and YA but never written a story in either genre. World building can be difficult but maybe working together makes it easier and fun. I am 32, Episcopalian, and engaged to a chef. I am a teacher so I am about to be on summer break and hope this becomes a meaningful community.

Since I was asked pronouns when registering I assume this is a queer friendly space and visibility doesn’t fall under the political umbrella. I hope that is the case.

I am versed in the Harry Potter Universe, The Magicians, and Lord of the Rings, as well as Tarot. I am super curious to discover how the magic system works here.

I believe I am a Thornmouth if that is helpful, it seems to be.

Hope I did this correctly and everyone’s holiday weekend is meaningful!

Hi @Presley! I’m the owner of Ackerly Green and author of the Magiqverse, and am queer myself, so you’re definitely welcome!

Thank you, will do. I’ll just assume the world is outside of government reach with anarchist tendencies.

I unfortunately cannot discuss or give my opinion on those points on this forum :zipper_mouth_face:

I am however happy to discuss any other non political or non controversial topics in general discussions :cjsmile:

Absolutely. I think I can safely say we’re all of the mind that simply existing and being queer is not a hot button topic or up for debate. Many of us are LGBT, many of the characters in TMP are openly LGBT, and homophobia and transphobia is banned here. If you have any questions or concerns, I’m happy to answer them to the best of my ability.

Thank you for the response. I’m feeling much better! :smiley:

Here’s to hoping I’m doing this right

Hello Hello, I am Alexander! 22 years of age, located in Sweden.

A friend of mine posted the ‘fun test’ on her facebook, had me take it, and after being sorted in Ebenguard, I decided to click around a bit, see where it would take me. Fast forward 36 hours, and both me and my partner have been sorted (They’re Balimora :smiley: ), finished reading the first book (taking turns in reading it to each other. Surprisingly romantic.) and just purchased the second one. Both of us got sucked in after only a few chapters, now hooked and ready to explore everything there is to this wonderful universe!

In my free time I keep myself busy with drawing and painting, mainly, though I enjoy dabbling in sewing and cosplay too. I have a fat, orange, angry blob of fur that passes for a cat, am a coffee enthusiast (trained barista!) and have a strange obsession with raccoons and their tiny little hands™.

Other than that, I am pretty easily confused when it comes to technology and will very often refer to myself as a grandpa, partially for that reason. Also, I tend to ramble. Which is exactly what I am doing now.

A little overwhelmed by everything right now, but I am still excited to dive head-first into this forum!

Welcome @Espressosaur, I’m going to have to bring @CJB in as Im pretty sure that username, although creative, isn’t appropriate for this forum. When it gets sorted I’ll welcome you officially and get you sorted :cjsmile:

Oh shoot,Sorry!
I did not think of that while signing up at first, it’s a handle I usually go by. I’d be more than happy to change it, obviously!

Unfortunately the username is permanent on creation so CJ will have to change it, don’t worry we’ll get you sorted! :cjsmile:

That’s probably a wonderful first impression I am making, God :joy:
I was able to change something it seems like, hope that is alright!

Oh cool you can change the name yourself! Well that makes things easier! :laughing:

Okay let’s start again!

Welcome @Espressosaur to the Ackerly Green forum!!! As far as I’m aware you’re our first Swedish Mounty!

Your guild leaders are the wonderful duo @Ginger and @Deyavi! If you have any questions you can PM them or any of the Wagoneers such as myself! There’s also a Q&A thread with loads of frequently asked questions on!

Make sure you read the entire first post and the forum primer as they’re so important for joining in the community! As you’re probably now aware we have strick rules on language as this does appear on Google so we have to remain PG at all times! :laughing:

When you’re ready you can then introduced yourself to your guild mates! I’d recommend you check out the Pets thread, as I’d love to see your puffy tat, and the werk thread! We also have the #the-creationary that contains loads of creative topics!

It’s awesome that you’ve got your partner to join in and I hope they join the forum soon! The books are a great place to get caught up on everything that’s happened over the past two years!

Thank you thank you!

Glad to be your first, I’m sure I won’t be the last either. (Though I am a bit of a cheat since I was born and raised in Belgium and moved here only very recently)
I’ll make sure to be a bit more careful with language, usernames and any such things from now on! Would indeed prefer to keep it clean :smiley:

Big chonk will be posted, I have way more photos of her than needed. And as for my partner, they have a bit more patience than me and want to wait until we have finished the second book, avoiding any and all spoilers if possible!
