They're groups of friends here but I wouldn't say it's cliquey from what I've seen :D I'm pretty oblivious to social stuff though :3

People are very used to newcomers (in alot of threads I've been in there's always one or two, so you're in good company) The best thing to do is just jump in, find a roleplay you like or dive into some of the discussion threads. With the roleplays the formatting and etiquette expectations are usually explained in the thread. Reading a thread's requirements, having a quick look at what others in the thread are doing, and even just letting people know you're new will go a long way to helping you get comfortable.

So! Some generic roleplay questions! What's your favourite genre? How long have you been roleplaying and what got you into it? Do you have any particular fond memories or experiences you'd like to share?
