Something New and Fun

Hello Everyone! A newbie here... at least to this site. I have been writing and in particular RPing for about 25 years now. I am still learning new things about writing, forums, coding, templates and all that stuff every day. Nowadays it's a lot more involved and I actually love it. I love seeing people's creativity, and writing something interesting and fun together makes my days a little better. Being from the Netherlands, English is not my first language, but for as long as I have been writing it has been in English.

 

I have written in a lot of different genres, but my favorites will always be horror/fantasy and anything that involves supernatural (creatures and the series). I love reading horror/fantasy books, and I am always looking for new authors/books to try. Horror movies, fantasy, and animated movies are my favorites. I prefer forum RP, but I have written through other media in the past. As far as music goes, I love it, all of it, can't do without it. I am eclectic, into a lot of different genres, but at heart I am a rock/metal chick. I keep playlists for writing, that help me get into the right mood.

 

Aside from writing and reading, I am an avid gamer, netflix frequently asks me if I am still alive, I enjoy dabbling with a bit of coding and learning new tricks, I am an amateur photographer, and a proud auntie of 3 boys who keep me plenty busy. Especially when they ask me to crochet them a new stuffed animal or blanket.  

 

Recently I have taken the leap and decided to admin my own forum, after a string of less than fun experiences on other forums. We're small right now, but hoping to grow, and all of the players are very open and inclusive to new members. I am proud of taking the step, because it is a scary one for me, as I am not a fan of failure >.< and I just want everyone to have a good time. 

 

I am by nature a shy person, so the internet for me is the ideal place to make new friends, and I feel sorry for anyone who says internet friends aren't real friends, because they are missing out.

Howdy, Aeryne!

 

I'm an INTJ.

I'm not shy at all. Just can't handle physically being around people for too long; it drains me. 

Frankly, I'm not minding this quarantine at all.  I guess if I was not able to work from home and lost my job completely due to COVID-19, I might be singing a different tune. But for now... I do not miss going in to the office everyday. 

 

Cat person, not a dog person. 

 

I started RP'ing on AOL way back when it was a thing; you either had AOL or IRC. 

Rhydin was too chaotic and full of crazy anarchy.  I promptly settled into Gor: The Chronicles of Counter-Earth roleplay-- and for 16 year old fella it was quite eye-opening. lol  My first foray into the BDSM subculture before it became all ... cheesy and watered-down into 50 Schlocks of Grey. lol

 

I moved to Forum PbP roleplay about 12 years ago. Can't understand now how in the hell I ever roleplayed in fast-scrolling chatrooms where everything you wrote disappeared the moment you left the chatroom.   Oh, and being dyslexic made that crap damn hard to keep up with! lol   A few of us kept character blogs pretty religiously, either on Live Journal or Blogspot.  I still have all of mine! lol 

 

Netflix (The Last Kingdom, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, The Crown), Amazon Prime (Vikings, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Hulu (NOS4A2, Castlerock, Nip/Tuck) binge-watcher here, too.  I started watching Strange Angel on CBS All Access a few years back, before their corporate marketers canceled it (idiots!), but I'm hoping Netflix will pick it up.  

 

I love all kinda music, too (everything except Opera).  Every character of mine has their own unique genre and playlist-- listening helps me get into their heads while writing (and if I listen to the wrong music, the words just don't flow right). 

But my personal fave is 90's Grunge.  Cuz I'm a grungy hipster reveling in my nostalgia.  lol

his own blood."  Friedrich Nietzsche ~ Thus Spake Zarathustra
