Awesomecat i'm happy to have you but to let you know the tags "invite only" or "closed sign-up" mean you shouldn't really join without owner approval beforehand.
Not an issue to me (cause I'm only just figuring this out too) but it's just to explain why I've not quite got everything ready yet-
I'm trying to get used to the more slow flow of the site since I joined recently from a different one and back there everyone was expected to post characters in like... a week window or you'd be chased down by the owner.
it's been literal years since I've done forum RP so I was hoping for a more chill pace compared to the usual Discord-based stuff I'm used to but yeah - there are def pros and cons to every place's expectations and activity level
