I'm new here, obviously (lol), but I figured I'd introduce myself. I go by Chantal on the interwebs mostly because of my email or my old neopets username account. I've been rping since early 1999 with my neopets and wolf characters then around 2007 I moved on to Dragonriders of Pern genre and have dabbled in equines and big cats but most of the sites I joined died off. Currently I run a DRoP site that allows all rpg sites to advertise and someone from here put up an ad. I found Ulaya from the ad. ^^

My style of writing has changed and developed over the years and there have been times when I have completely stopped writing due to RL or drama on sites I'm apart of, but I can never fully stop rping. Lol

Not sure what else to put here...

Hey there, Chantal. I'm Skips. I do believe we met on the c-box last night. You sound like a very experienced RPer. That's what, 13 years experience you got? Very impressive. And with a developing and changing writing style, I can only assume you've been getting better and better at it. Like I said last night, running a site is very impressive as well. I've never read any Pern books. I've heard of them though. I think I've seen them at the bookstore. They've got dragons in them, and that's about as far as I know. My brother's read them, because he once equated me to a character in the books, but the reference was lost on me. I'm digressing a lot, aren't I?

Anyways, again, welcome to Ulaya! Pleased to meet you. I look forward to seeing some of your writing, and perhaps even RPing in the future. I really hope you like it here. I don't really think this site will die off anytime soon, so you don't gotta worry about that. Ulaya's been around since 2003, so it's got that going for it. Again, it's a pleasure meeting you, Chantal, and I hope you have a great time here!

Thank you Skips! Yup, this year is going on year 15 for me. I started back when I was around 8 or 9. Lol Probably younger than that honestly, I used to write stories in my journals about wolves and dragons a lot. But as for internet forum rping, I started in '98 or '99.

My site is small but I enjoy it, there are just times when my muse needs a break from the same genre so I went looking for a TLK site. Ah yes, dragons that bond to humans and they fight against a living organism called Thread that can kill everything but rock and metal. Digressing? Nahh, I like to think of it as chatting and getting to know others. xD

I hope I can change between Pern and TLK honestly! It has been a while since I have rped two different genres. Thank you again Skips for all the warm welcoming! I hope to rp with you sometime in the future as well.

Let me send a warm hello from Poland as well! Cześć, Chantal! It's so nice to have you here, even though we've exchanged only a mere sentence on the chatbox. One way or another, I hope you will enjoy your stay here and have a lot of fun among us. :) Should you have any questions about Ulaya, feel free to shoot them away, we'll be there to satisfy your curiosity. Even though you've got 13 years of roleplaying behind you, I really do hope Ulaya will turn out being a whole new experience for you. Hopefully, a great one. :) It's a huge pleasure to have you aboard!

Wow! It's great to meet you, Chantal! That's a ton of experience you've got there. A lot more than my four-ish years. That's really, really impressive. And haha, I got my start over on Neopets as well. It didn't take me too long to switch over to forums, though, and as you can tell...I haven't stopped writing at all xD

I always wanted to get into the Dragonriders of Pern...but I could never figure out, like, which book came first. Haha. Especially when you're at the library and looking at the whole stack of them.

You know, I probably posted the ad on your site xD
Anyways, as you can tell--we're a friendly bunch and we love new people. So, Welcome to Ulaya!!

Started writing since you were 8 or 9? That is just wow. I mean, if you don't count school relating writings, I didn't start writing for myself until I was like 15, and it was only a little bit and it was terrible stuff that shall never be mentioned again. Then I took a break for writing, and really I didn't start writing again until I was 18. But I think I would have stopped writing again if it weren't for me getting into RPs at the time. And by RPs, I mean just one because I'm only a part of just one RP. And that would be Ulaya. So really, the whole of my RP experience comes from being on this site for about...5 months now? That much time has gone by already? Wow, time flies. It's not quite 15 or 13 years experience, but I'm told I'm doing good at it so far. But really, Ulaya has kept me writing words, and if practice makes perfect, then I must be getting better at writing as well. Plus the friendly folk here make it a very warm place to be, so I think that's very nice. I think you'll like it here. Really, if you like TLK, then you'll fit in great here!

Welcome aboard Chantal! We have a veteran rper gracing through our Ulayan doors! I hope you like it here. We're all quite friendly (and a bit crazy at times). Feel free to nose around the place and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! Hope to rp with you in the future Chantal :D

*Starts to do math* 1999... 2012... Carry the x... Oh my god, that's amazing. You must be one of the Gods of Roleplaying or something, if you've been around that long and haven't been devoured by DnD.

Well, I must say, Welcome to Ulaya. It is great to have such a veteran with us. You can already see I'm sure that we're willing to greet and meet, so feel free to ask any questions you want. Welcome to Ulaya, and I hope you enjoy your time here.

Daimu: I hope so too! I feel bad for neglecting Avani but I've been rping strictly Pern since 07 and my inspiration for it is dying slowly. I hope Ulaya will be the breath of fresh air that I need to keep my site running and active. ^^ Thank you for the warm welcome!

Kita: I love writing. Lol Granted back in my neopet days it was maybe one to three sentences at the most. XD But hey, gotta start somewhere right!? Well a lot of Pern sites don't closely follow the plotline in the books lately, which are called semi to non-canon, but there are a few sites that do follow the current plotline of the series. Most of the sites have information and guides to help new people to Pern get an understanding of the universe there. Lol

Skips: Yup. English was my best subject, especially creative writing. I could write for hours at a time once I started forum rping. I know a few years probably need to be shaved off of that time because I took hiatuses from writing in between genre transitions or lack of inspiration (Pern-wise) so maybe collectively out of those 15 years, I've rped about 10 to 11 of them faithfully. I hope I will too! Again, I need a refreshing genre so that I don't kill my site. >_< Plus I like to not be an admin all the time. XD

Juffy: I dunno about veteran! Lol I have only just begun to like the quality of posts my skills have been able to create. Haha, crazy is good though! Hope to rp with you as well Juffy, thank you!

Edit:

Makavu: You posted right after me! D: I did not see yours til I sent mine through. I am sorry. LOL Strangely enough I have never played DnD before. I attempt to play Magic the Gathering thanks to my boyfriend but that's about it. XD Thank you! I am working on Kianga's sample rp post then she should be ready for someone to look over her.

Well Chantal, it looks like you will be a fine addition to our awesome posse here. There's not much else I can say that everyone else hasn't said and expressed, but I'm still sending my little "Welcome to Ulaya" card now anyways. I hope you enjoy your stay here and I'm looking forward to seeing your lovely character in action.
:smile:

Oh by the way....
