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 Center 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]
