User blog:Ty The Immortal/Let's start off on the right footing...

So, here I am. I've never really interacted with the world of wiki sites, beyond consuming information via Wikipedia and occasionally surfing 1D4chan. As such, I'm almost totally unfamiliar with the process of editing wikis. I hope that the community I have just joined will take it easy on me while I learn the ropes.

I've been looking for some kind of collaborative fiction project for me to sink my teeth into for a long time now. I have some ferocious writing skills (if I do say so myself), but all the self-discipline of a cheese sandwich. I seem to work best when I have one or more partners to bounce off. Some of the most fun I've ever had while writing was way back when, during the dark ages of MSN messenger. My school friends and I would connect almost every night to craft a persistant, collaborative narrative. It might not have been very good in any kind of objective sense, but it was certainly very nice. I recently found myself missing those days, and so I made a quick web search, found this place, decided to name myself after a Valkyria Chronicals antagonist, and have resoved to dive right in.

It all seems good so far. This WYSIWYG editor is sufficiently noob friendly that even I should be able to avoid most egregious formatting mistakes. I plan to get involved on other people's projects for starters; then crack on with recruiting participants for my own.

But that's a way off yet.
