[[For mod: how did you become a definitely blog? Was it kinda nerve wrecking at first? I want to start one but I’m so scared to haha]]
[[ OOC:
Hello! I hope this helps you in your questions and if you need help setting up a blog please DM me and we can have an in depth conversation.
I am an original member of the Definitely Community. I was the 3rd or 4th person to make a blog so it was easier to jump in and join. I've been in this community for a year and it's grown and changed so much from when I started.
This post written by @stuck-y-together does a great job of laying out the basics of role-play.
This community for the most part is opening and welcoming. It can be hard at times to get established with people who already have established and have storylines going on. You can't make a blog and just expect everyone to interact with you or be willing to include you in their storyline.
I know for me personally I have spent a year building my character and storyline. Those I interact with are people I trust and who I click with in role-play. You can't be mad if someone tells you they don't want to role-play or include you in something. People have planned storylines and sometimes that doesn't always include letting others interact or being included in things.
Talking ooc with people is always a great way to get a feel for things and to find out if what you want is something they also want. Injecting yourself into a storyline is never a good way to get Interactions and can make mods annoyed.
It is nerve-wracking and sometimes scary to enter into a community that is already so established. A lot of us are friends ooc because we've been here so long and have chatted ooc. But talking is the best way to get to know people and get things that you would like to happen / want.
My best advice is to make a blog if you want to and talk with people ooc first before you start an interaction and be open to people saying no and making suggestions.
I'd really like for you to DM me and we can have a discussion and I can help you.]]
[OOC: You're also more than welcome to come chat with me about any questions you might have, lovely. Not that the Bucky mod can't answer all your questions, they absolutely 100% can. Just know that if you want to, you're more than welcome.
And your being a little overwhelmed is more than valid but for your peace of mind, we're honestly all just goofballs hanging out and enjoying interacting with our favourite group of characters. And I promise none of us bite. (without consent 😏😘😂)
In short, we would love to have you join the madness, lovely. You'd be such a great addition, I am already positive. Feel free to DM me!]
