Welcome to Arkadia![break][break][break]

Whether you arrived here through an invite from another Arkadian, divine intervention, or the sheer whim and the powers that be of Stumbleupon, we are thrilled to have you here![break][break]

If you're looking to collaborate with other writers, working to shake off the dust on an old literary project, or just on the hunt for a new community of likeminded individuals, then you’ve come to the right place![break][break]

Arkadia is a roleplay community committed to providing a fun, collaborative workspace for writers looking to meet new people, share ideas, and nerd out so-to-speak for those closet nerds out there -- you know who you are.[break][break][break]

So where do you start?[break][break][break]

First, and foremost, please be sure to review our rules.[break][break]

It's a ritualistic bloodpact that might enslave your family for future generations but we assure you it is for your own good.[break][break]

If you have any questions about anything, please don’t hesitate to message a Staff Member by typing "Staff" in the "recipient" field of your PM.[break][break][break]
Complete your profile by adding a spiffy avatar and cover photo. [break][break]

A helpful how-to-guide can be found here:[break][break]

Arkadia's Guide to Formatting Your Profile: A guide on fakin' it and how to fit in with the cool kids.[break][break][break]
The next stage of your initiation is to post a new thread in the Welcome Wagon and tell us a little bit about yourself.[break][break]

You may share whatever you like, but to get you started:[break][break]
- What do you prefer to be called?
- What are you interested in and what are your hobbies? Let us know if you’ve ever done forum or play-by-post roleplay before!
- What genres do you like to roleplay?
Once you have posted your introduction, our cult leaders will be around shortly with the company Koolaid. It's very tasty, we promise.[break][break][break][break]

Hello fellow Arkadians!

As you all may know, we have just a few requirements before your Citizenship on Arkadia is processed, namely:

So you're having a little trouble trying to navigate the back office of your profile? Look no further! With the help of our site Designer Suki, we've put together this quick guide to help you guys streamline the process so you can get back to what's really important: Writing with the Community~

ICON/AVATAR

► Top Navigation
► will send you to your Profile

►► Edit

►►► "Use only the Uploaded/Linked"
►►►► "Upload or Link your own avatar image"

To Edit any of the following:
MOST RECENT STATUS
+ SIGNATURE + COVER
IMAGE + BIOGRAPHY +
PROFILE IMAGE

► Top Navigation

►► will send you to your Profile
►►► Edit

► ►►►Account

► ►►►Should bring you to this page. From there, scroll down a bit. You can add as much or as little detail as you want to your profile.

► ►►►The only field required is that of the Cover Image. The image MUST be cropped/resized to 220x350px and uploaded to an image hosting site. You will need an image URL to place in this field. All of these requirements must be met or they will not show up properly on your profile or in your posts.

You can use any image hosting site you wish like such as IMGbb. Just make sure you're image is the proper size and placed in the COVER IMAGE field on your profile.

Note: Both Cover Image & Profile Image
must be 220x350px max. Signatures appear
below posts in threads. Profile Images
have currently been disabled to allow greater
compatibility with mobile browsers. Use instead the COVER IMAGE field when setting up your profile.

To quickly crop images on browser, Photoresizer
is a great site. Simply upload your image through
File, select Crop by Aspect Ratio and enter
220w x 350h then Resize to 220w x 350h!

DM for assistance!
