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 doesnāt 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 everyoneās holiday weekend is meaningful!
Youāre guild leader is @Sellalellen! If you have any questions you can PM her or any of the Wagoneers! Thereās also a Q&A thread with loads of frequently asked questions!
Make sure you read everything in the first post and the Forum Primer as theyāre super important!
We are a super friendly and inclusive community here! I myself am part of the LGBT community and many others here! You wonāt find any politics here as we try to keep this place safe and open for everyone!
When youāre read you can introduce yourself to your guild mates and check out some threads such as the werk thread (Where you can talk about your job) and the D&D thread!
Absolutely. I think I can safely say weāre 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, Iām happy to answer them to the best of my ability.
Hello Hello, I am Alexander! 22 years of age, located in Sweden.
A friend of mine posted the āfun testā 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 (Theyāre Balimora ), 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 handsā¢.
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, Iām going to have to bring @CJB in as Im pretty sure that username, although creative, isnāt appropriate for this forum. When it gets sorted Iāll welcome you officially and get you sorted
Oh cool you can change the name yourself! Well that makes things easier!
Okay letās start again!
Welcome @Espressosaur to the Ackerly Green forum!!! As far as Iām aware youāre 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! Thereās 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 theyāre so important for joining in the community! As youāre probably now aware we have strick rules on language as this does appear on Google so we have to remain PG at all times!
When youāre ready you can then introduced yourself to your guild mates! Iād recommend you check out the Pets thread, as Iād love to see your puffy tat, and the werk thread! We also have the #the-creationary that contains loads of creative topics!
Itās awesome that youāve 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 thatās happened over the past two years!
Glad to be your first, Iām sure I wonāt 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)
Iāll 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
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!
Ahahaha I fully expect to see more crazy things from new Mounties! Itās always a pleasure seeing what you lot come up with!
On the forum we take spoilers very seriously so usually the topics are clearly labeled if they contain spoilers for the books. Also if a sentence contains something that might be a spoiler then itās blurred by the user just to be safe!. So weāre very careful around here!
WHEN youāve finished reading the books you can ask any unanswered questions you have on this thread!
I saw an ad for this on Instagram, and seeing the cool runes and promise of being sorted into a guild I was intrigued. And then seeing that it was an interactive work/forum/RPG I knew I had to give it a try! I was sorted into Weatherwatcher, which as soon as I started reading I knew was a good fit.
By day I work in the space industry and in my free time I love to read and write fantasy, DM a Dungeons and Dragons game with my friends, as well as hike and travel when I can. I used to be a part of RPG forums growing up so I canāt wait to see what this has in store for me!
My nameās Melissa, however online I usually go by Capn or Kumo. Iām 26 going on 27, and I happened to stumble upon all this last night. I was scrolling around on Instagram when by chance I saw the badges for each of the guilds. I thought, āWell, thatās pretty cool looking. I wonder what all this is about.ā Next thing I knew, I was taking the assessment and signing myself up for a whole lot of reading.
To be honest, Iām a very slow reader, but this story has me very intrigued. I intend to take my time with it, and I know itās going to be a while until Iām fully caught up with everything. That being said please bear with me, and I look forward to meeting you all!
