Welcome, Nogrod!

I certainly would be interested in having more retainers or craftsmen for Eodwine to work with. If a craftsman, you need to decide if you want to be a visitor with an end date at which point you want to move on, or whether you're going to be in this for the long haul. If short term, be some kind of builder/carpenter. If long haul, then be something more like a guard or man at arms who can help with carpentry. Some of the ladies who post here have graciously chosen to represent male characters so that the gender balance is reasonably good. I'd like it if you would play a man, to keep that gender balance going well.

You deal the outlines here on the discussion thread and the other may ask for corrections as the post is in the actual thread?

Basically, we exercise a lot of freedom here. You can plan on posting up, and using your good judgement as to what another character might say, always with the understanding that the primary writer of the character you write, may ask for an edit of some kind. That kind of request can be handled either through this discussion thread, or via PM, up to the requester.

Some of us, notably Feanor and I, have decided to do a PM-post, which is what I think you're talking about. It's just something you set up with another writer if you want to.

Hope that helps!

That would be great!

Thanks! I think I could stick around. So I'll go for that man-of-arms / carpenter-hand option.

I'm so happy to hear that!

Looking forwards to enter the game.

Elempi, when and how is the next day going to start, and who opens it? Is Lin going to be back? (Do you know, I always call her Lin because I can't remember her full name? Linduial? Anyway, I don't want to try.) Just wondering.

Welcome, Nogrod. Have fun.
