This is where we gush about Iwaku. What brought you here in the first place? What made you stay?
I joined Iwaku sometime between 2015-2016 (old deleted account, can't remember exact date). The role-play site I used previously was on the brink of death, so I and a few others had no choice but to relocate. To be honest, I wasn't sure about Iwaku at first. I don't like change. But I warmed up to the website eventually. The staff seemed active and approachable, which was refreshing to see, and I liked Iwaku's mission statement (I still do):
It told me just how welcoming this community is and reminded me that role-play is all about having fun, not being perfect. Through writing with Iwaku's amazing members, I eventually got over my perfectionism and anxiety. Some of those aforementioned amazing people even became my friends.
Needless to say, I love this community, so I'm still here. I've had dips in activity now and then, but I have no intention of leaving for as long as the site is still up and running.

Iwaku's mission statement said:IS IWAKU RIGHT FOR YOU? Every roleplay community is different, and we understand that some people will like us and some people won't. Our community atmosphere is designed with keeping a relaxed, fun, and friendly tone in mind! We welcome roleplayers of all skill levels, styles, habits, and interests. We do not like the term "literate", enforce word counts, or believe there is a "right and wrong" way to roleplay. Iwaku encourages members to play for the sheer enjoyment of playing, while also providing tools to help members improve their writing skills, exercise their creative muscles, and find other players who match their styles or interests. If this sounds like just the thing you need, register and give us a try!
