Illeana Grimm-TurnerHi!

So, I heard about this site from a close friend who uses it occasionaly. I've been playing on and off for a couple of years, enjoying it all the time. But he's of the opinion that it's more engaging if you join a community? So, here I am, I guess... I've kinda RP'd in game, but I guess it doesn't count if you keep shifting your own goalposts. Maybe writing the stuff out will keep me grounded on a path? I dunno.

So I joined Inara. He reckons it's one of the better communities out there so I decided to dive in, although I imagine every community has its trolls, right?

Enough about that. My CMDR is called Illeana (Ill-ee-ah-na) Grimm-Turner, which is probably quite obvious. Nicknamed GT by friends and some family, she was born and raised planetside, although I never settled on a specific location. Is that overly important? I'm keen to write some stories of my own, maybe join people in the bars. Is there a code or rules to joining in. Like do I have to go through some sort of appproval process? Are there standards to how good my writing needs to be?

Although I enjoy doing it, I'm not convinced my writing is up to par really. But I welcome constructive criticism. Emphasis on constructive of course.

Anways, nice to see you (to see you....

Hello, GT!

To answer your questions, yes: there are several of us who have been both roleplaying and writing our own stories for years! What you do and don't do is one-hundred percent up to you, and the only thing that anyone would ask is that you take a look at the guidelines for the roleplay boards.

In addition, you're encouraged to say hello on Inara's Discord, where I'm confidant you'll find a warm welcome from the more active members of the community.

Welcome aboard, and we look forward to hearing from you!

Hello cmdrs my name is Clovis Genara ( I know its a weird name but that's how my parents named me ) . Soo the Reason I posted my log from 3 years ago is because apparently my data from this year got deleted by federal officials I don't know why soo I have to post my old log data. Soo my age I honestly don't remember how old am I now so I did the math I'm 182 years old uhhh yeah I'm that old that's crazy because of course you read my log data but Im happy to be here now :NOTE: I don't remember how much I'm cypernitic it's probably classified because the federation did that them self's so who knows I'm probably full robotic just my consciousness is in a computer chip then they put a new memory so I don't know that I'm full blown robot. but of course it's a theory but it's almost clearly possible because I thought the failed project only gave me 30 extra years but now I've nearly lived 200 years so they're whole "DATA PURGED BY FEDERAL OFFICIALS" secret is fading away I'm probably knowing what I'm actually am. Please tell me what you're theories are about my long life span and probably a ID crisis right now.

Hello Illeana, and welcome to Inara.

I'd like to echo what Matt said; you'll find quite a few writers here who will be only too happy to give you constructive feedback on your RP and stories. Don't be afraid to ask!

I'd encourage you to flesh out your backstory, too. It really is a good way to help you identify with your character, to know their strengths, weaknesses and motivations. Add your bio to your profile page, as it's handy not only for your own reference but also for others to find out more about you.

There's no approval process as such. Taking a look at some of the past posts in the RP rooms will help you get a better understanding of what's required. Bear in mind that styles do vary; some prefer 1st Person Present Tense, others 3rd & Past. Some add thoughts in italics, others only give "visual" information. There's no right or wrong, and the choice is yours. You don't have to stick with one style, either. Experiment until you find something with which you're comfortable.

Looking forward to reading your stories!

Take care out there.

o/ = a person waving

o7 = a person saluting (I know, it's the wrong hand...)

awkward way of saying: i'll be curious what you will be finding out about your age, through which dark paths you will travel to unravel this mystery  ;)..or are you referring to my dyslectic-too-fast-typing-without-checking-typos?
