Current I'm a pretty good writer and former site staff; I still deal with imposter syndrome every time I log on. You're definitely not alone. And t's worth trying anyway.

I just finished The Secret History, a very Gen X book. Never Let Me Go before that, which I'd recommend to any writer outside the MFA atmosphere who wants to know emotonal restraint.

Bio

argh.

Most Recent Posts



Name: Yanci Carolina (Known by the latter.)
Age: 24 Years Old in appearance, actually 40 years old. (Embraced in 2001.)
Species: Kindred, Toreador, Anarch. 11th Generation.

Personality:

For an Anarch, Carolina is rather reserved. Even heeled and contemplative, but not afraid of confrontation. Seems to value intelligence and moderation. When it comes to her art, Carolina puts everything she has into it. In any social circle she keeps everyone at a healthy distance, and is almost impossibly slow to trust.

Biography:

Born in Southern California to a working class Mexican-American family, she was raised under the Mexican Catholic tradition, and for most of her life could even have been called a good, nice, girl. Somewhere along the way that went wrong, though no one seems to know how or why. Those Anarchs who have worked with her over the years would say her father was abusive, though each has a different tale as to the kind of abuse the girl suffered. Whatever the cause, Carolina moved to Los Angeles shortly after her 21st birthday. Aspiring actress, writer, and musician--a common Los Angeles tale.

She would work as a waitress waiting for a big break, until that big break came at the fangs of a Kindred. Her sire is unknown, as she was left shortly after. Some Toreador Anarch, is the best explanation she can do. A former Camarilla Toreador named Cecilia had pity and took the neonate in. Whatever Cecilia's long game, Carolina seems entirely independent at this point, not telling what happened to Cecilia or how she came to live with a rag-tag group of Anarchs in the Valley. It's believed her role with a Hollywood Talent Management Agency was set up through Cecilia, though there's no telling for sure.

Carolina's involvement in the recent dramatic events of L.A. seems more likely a bystander than a participant.

Misc.: Carolina's tattoos, much like her known past and punk rock life, are entirely carefully constructed fabrications--in reality the punk Anarch known as Carolina is truly a 7th Generation Toreador named Yanci born in 1717 not 1977 (making her exactly 300 years old), connected to some of the most powerful Kindred on the West Coast, and the Kindred overlords of Hollywood. She is a master manipulator hiding in plain sight as Elders around her drop like flies--Elders, except, for those she calls mentors. Her role is anyone's guess, but it is unlikely she played the part of predator and aggressor in recent violence.

A fact that does not rule out a possible role as avenger in the near future...

You said you want a small group, but if there's room for one more I'm game


We haven't even started to accept people, to say nothing of the reality of RP where people drop from games all the time, so yeah. I'd say you came in time to join. ;)
This looks super cool! I have never read or even heard of these books though. Is that necessary to get started?


Not at all.
While the OOC will be up within the next few days, if you want to get a head start on plotting your characters feel free to come chat with Archie and I on the game's chat. No accounts/downloads necessary.

I mean thats the thing. Im not sitting here floating my own boat. Ive definitely got experience under my belt when it comes to multi para posting. I used to be abel to consistently post probably a good 3 or so paragraph response without trailing off the subject matter. But i still cant even comprehend how people make those massive ones that are as rich with content as they are and how they stay on topic lol


Again, everything in my prior post still holds true.
I can give it a shot. Don't know anything about the universe though.


Considering we're Alternative Universing it, you really don't need to know anything about the universe. Much of what the virus is and how it came to be will be revealed IC.
For the feeling of inadequacy: "There's no shame in being beaten by a master."

Quite frankly, it sounds like you need a writer's workshop. Or, in this case, Roleplayer's workshop. (I'm planning on holding one of these on the Guild Discord in the near future, I don't know if any are done on the Guild itself.) But short of that, you need to find a RP mentor. Someone that will take you through their Advanced posts, so you can see what they did step-by-step, so you can understand how their posts get to be however long, as well as analyze your posts and offer critiques and suggestions.

And if you don't read a lot, read more.
Oh wow this looks really cool! Is it still accepting?


Yup!
Sounds fun. Count me in. ;)
