Anyway, I was 14 years old then (making me *cough cough* years old now). I'd completely forgotten about this site and the characters I'd made until recently, and it was a huge huge shock to not only see all the posts etc still available to read, but that people had done art! (The Elise art looks exactly like I did when I was 14! Very impressed!)

Anyway, it was a lovely surprise to see this forum is still going strong, and I hope you all have fun here :D

Swoosh x
:D we do have fun! And thanks about the art- You were definately one of the better appearance writers back in the day and I had fun drawing you/her

Welcome back, swoosh! We're glad to have you, whether you're staying or not. Everything's changed so much- discord, phpbb, generally the fact that it's been like 16 years...

Hey, Swoosh! We still have a few handlers here who started from around the same time period floating around so it's always cool to see returning folks.

We concluded v7 and are in the planning stages for v8 if you're ever considering participating again. We also have a Discord server where we stay pretty social in if you ever wanna swing by there and chat; the link is on the front index page.

The people with purple usernames are the staff around here, so if you have any questions and such feel free to ask them. Other than that, welcome to the boards and thanks for stopping by!

Hi. Call me Vic. A friend of mine referred me here when they learned I write. I'm not so good at talking with new people, but it's not so bad over the internet.

Hey, Vic! Welcome to the boards! We're in the planning stages for v8 pregame if you wanna take a look what what everyone has cooking or have concepts already in mind you wanna share. We also have a Discord server that's fairly active if you ever wanna stop by and hang out.

Otherwise, if you have any questions the staff members are the ones with purple names so don't be afraid to poke them for anything.

Welcome! Since you're already in the Discord server, you've probably figured out that those of us with purple usernames are the staff team, but feel free to ask us if you have any questions. We're currently in the plotting and planning stage for the Version 8 pregame that's going to open soon, so you can check out the planning forum for that if you want to see what other people are up to there, or just browse the board and the wiki to look at our past versions.

Don't be so gauche, Steve, it's beneath you."

I forgot to post here earlier so this introduction is highly delayed.

I think lots of you probably know me from the discord or from my thread but I do writing stuff.

I joined from the TVTropes page after my second time randomly stumbling upon it.

You are all cool.

Hello, I'm Kris(That's not my real name; I'm specifying because it's a fairly realistic name)! I'm not in the discord, but I tend to do most of roleplaying on discord, though I started out with the forums back in 2017. But anyways, it's nice to be here- I came from the TVTropes page.

Welcome to SOTF, Yaya! Nice to have you here.

You have also come to a good time. Applications for the pregame of V8 are open. Some comments above us have a few interesting links. Otherwise I recommend reading the rules if you have any questions.

Yo, I'm Cameron. I'm fairly new to RP and creative writing (outside of a school context) in general but I'm probably gonna get involved anyway. Hope it goes smoothly!

Welcome. Down the hall you'll find the gallery. It contains copious words, blood, death, tears, and most importantly, modern art. We hope you enjoy your stay.

You know, I just realized I was about to post a character app and then wammo I was like "Wait I never did like an introduction, oh god"

Tis is I, CardboardAirplane, some say Card, most say Cardboard, I haven't heard anyone say Airplane and I never wanna hear that because that just feels weird
Been roleplaying for a while now and when I saw this on you guessed it, TV Tropes I was like "Yeah let's try it, I got no reason not to"

Been doing rp on Discord for a while but this is the first time I'm doing so on a forum. Should be fine though, Discords like, trying to turn more into forums anyway
