Hello there! I've been lurking/reading for a while, playing around IG to see how things are done. Mostly observing. I've been role playing for a long time--it comes easy as I'm a writer and it isn't much different than mentally acting out a character in one of my short stories or novels. It's taken me a long time to find a game online that has actual role play involved. There was only one other that I've found, and I don't play it anymore. It's nice to find people that actually role play! I've had a couple of great interactions with some characters and it's been great. I've had a blast.

So, I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Ellen (AKA Effie) ooc. I'm in the US. Nice to meet y'all.

Hello there Effie and welcome to all that is Illa. Now you've introduced yourself you can shamelessly plug one or two of the novels written

Welcome there, one of the many new players recently and I second Drathes opinion, give us a taste of your "medecin", it can't be worse than the ..*cough cough* other writters we got here.

I don't have any novels out yet--those are still being edited and such. Revisions take a while and for a long time I did nothing but write, write, write! I do, however, have some short stories and poems published (or contracted for publication in the next couple of months). Nothing big or major. I'm working from the small end up--getting publishing credits, however small, are the best steps to take before trying to sub out a novel manuscript-- and let me say, short fiction is fierce competition. Magazines are so hard to please, especially in my chosen genre.

I don't know how to go about it. Should I pm you guys a link to one of the web-based magazines? I have one piece up now and six more upcoming releases over this month and next. I don't want to break any rules or anything. It's weird feeling like a newbie again.

Nah there are alot of people posting "their stuff" everywhere and this might be more fitted in the player or off topic, but its a "here am I,, thats me" topic, so I guess the boardgm will have "mercy" if you post a few short stories here so everyone can read them, if they want, of course if you get anything from us clicking a link than of course post a link.

Well, I don't gain anything from you reading--the magazine is free, so there's no charge and I don't get paid royalties for readers. So...

Click

As far as posting things up... that would use my first worldwide electronic rights and would be considered published, so I think I'll refrain. I'd advise against it for anyone who wishes to later publish anything they've posted too, unless they want to sell it as a reprint and be paid less for their work. But, to each his own. I can't post any of the contracted pieces either because it would breach my contracts. But there's the one link.

Welcome, to you I hope you like it here and enjoy it.

Welcome! Saw your name on the new sign-ups wondered how long was going to lurk

Welcome!

Also, I'm allergic to American English! Doing a major in English, and specifically asked for British pronunciation classes to get rid of that horrid American-ish my mouth keeps sprouting.

Hope you'll feel at home here! Don't get trapped in the barricades! Watch out for rampant, smelly orcs! Vote for Cromwell! Grab some pie in a tavern near the Briar! Get your feet wet in the lizard Temple! Don't get stuck on the loo!
