Hello everyone.

[Iris]

Hey there. My name is Iris, and I was invited here by Anhelisk. It's my first time delving into something quite like this and I'm still feeling my way through this, but I'm interested and curious about how this all works. I'm an experienced roleplayer and an artist, and in my spare time I like to play video games and worldbuild. I'm expecting my first kin soon, but if anyone could give me pointers on how to approach...kind of the whole process, then I would appreciate it. ^^;

Hello, welcome! The discord is great, that's where everybody chats and swaps pairings. Most of us are artists, writers, and worldbuilders too. So I think you'll fit right in.

Toshi's given so much good stuff....! I think my big word of advice is just to be around and to chat and not be afraid to engage in conversation, especially in the discord! Newbies who are around USUALLY get showered in gifts.... C:<<<
