Hello, all! I am RageQueen. My pronouns are she/her. I am 29 years old and a Gryffindor. My general personality is... forceful? That may not be the right word. I am about as subtle as a brick through a window and I don't so much go places as I do storm them. Since my days are pretty busy, I tend to pop in and out of chats/forums/whatever. If you want to speak to me directly, please make sure to actually, y'know, tag me or DM me. Uh... what else about me?! I'm currently in my last year of college, working toward my bachelor's of english with an emphasis on creative writing. I was going to have a double emphasis of creative writing and writing studies (think, like, tech writing), but then I messed up my internship and decided that a single emphasis was GOOD ENOUGH @#%&^!!!!! I will graduate in June. My career goal is to be a grant writer, which means I write grants and hope that people give my clients money. My favorite thing to write is NA urban fantasy. I really enjoy adding fantasy twists to the world as we know it. Currently, I am working on a novel and a short story. The novel is about a boy who is the adopted son of a hunter who suddenly figures out that he's got magic and has to get out of dodge. The short story is social commentary on women's justifiable fear of being stalked/hurt/raped/murdered in the form of cornfields and creepy old gods of some indeterminate denomination. When I'm not writing, I enjoy reading, playing video games, tabletop games, baking, crocheting, and KNITTING OMG KNITTING! I will likely post things that I have knit because I get obsessed and MUST SHARE THEM WITH EVERYONE. I am currently knitting gnomes. I need an army of them. I'm also planning to hide one at my in-laws' house every time we visit. Why? Because REASONS. And because GNOMES. I have a husband. His name is John. We have a cat and her name is Aoife. She is an adorable ball of floof. I love them both very much.

Some important stuff about me...
My name's Tiffany but I like my forum tag better Looming Bloom. I'll pretty much answer to anything as long as it's nice and you make sure to direct at me. I'm 35. I'm currently living with man number 2 in my life and two very special kids whom I love to distraction literally. I'm a stay at home mom, If I'm not online I'm taking care of my man and my kids! We got two kittens for Christmas, their brothers, who are both darling and demonic at the same time. I live in Minnesota, where it's cold and white half the year, in the woods surrounded by wildlife. I love nature waaay more than I love people. I am super shy, it's my biggest curse! I want social interaction, buut RL socializing scares me to death! Soo I interact with perfect strangers online instead, it's a lot safer...
What I like to write about…
I like to write a hodge hodge of genres. Straight, Yaoi, Fantasy, Fan Fiction, and maybe Sci-Fi in the future. I'm definitely a panster. What plot? What characters? What goals? These writing concepts are very foreign to me. My plots and characters if they are there are very vague. Worse than my plots are my characters, because at some point they always wind up turning into me on paper or the screen.
My goals if they exist…
* Learn how to do characters, maybe… * Put my learning to use, fingers crossed...

Lol, I'm Jay, same as on the Discord. XD
Sorry it's so quiet right now. This tends to be a quiet forum anyway, but it's extra dead right now. Both Siana and I are also dead. This happens with alarming frequency.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Twinkle the Honey Badger reporting for forum duty!
For those of you not on the Discord, my pronouns are They/Them. I have many, many, many hobbies, but writing is my favorite. I have written two books, and am currently editing them. I write whatever the crap falls out of my head through my fingers.

Pretty sure I am still fighting my cat about whether I can have the keyboard for this. Pretty sure he won for a few months straight.
He's a butt like that. He can't help it though, he's Siamese.
Oh look, here's his sister. She doesn't let me type, either.
Short form bio. I'm Mim (and that's a she/her name.) I have three children, all with varied special needs. I am 39. Eldest is 16. The twins are 12. There are seven cats and a spouse. I much prefer cats to Spouse.
I am currently in university. (Pacific Lutheran, for the curious.) I have a dual major: Social Work and English with an emphasis in creative writing. I intend to work in vocational rehabilitation in the long run. That takes a master's degree, though, so we're talking long, long run.
I had a long-running nano streak, but I broke it in 2016, and I cried over that (and over Trump's election. WTF world.) I haven't produced anything I've liked since about 2015, so I'm going back to basics and writing what I want. Since I have no audience for my nineteen novels, I might as well please myself, yes?
Uh, what else do we discuss here? I knit, I love to read, and if I could do anything, I'd draw recognizeable things. Currently, my kids won't even partner up with me for Pictionary, because people even ask what my stick figures are. No joke!
My Pottermore house is Hufflepuff. I like my bullet journal. I want to revive my writing habit - it's died way off since it peaked in 2014 (but I don't want to write six novels in a year again, no thank you. Just write a little most days is good enough.)

Hello mim! Welcome to Steve! Curious, how'd you find us? (Yeah, Donald Trump is a complete shitbag and we're screwed, can't argue there.) And yes, you absolutely should write what you like! You've come to the right place! As for what we discuss here - haha, everything, including the topics you've brought up. (We put the prod in productivity and the pro in procrastination.) By the way, if you're interested, we also have a Discord group! (Click on Discord Chat in the menu above to join!)

Hello all!
I'm Renna, real name Jade, feel free to use whichever. Pronouns she/her, identify somewhere between female and nonbinary maybe probably?
I actually got here from the Discord chat haha. I'm 23 years old, I've been writing (seriously) since I was... 12? I think I did my first novel at 12. (and it was awful, but again, I was 12). Before that I did lots of forum roleplaying on a pony website, which is where I found most of my love for writing. In my regular day-to-day, I work in a pet store full time and do private one-on-one dog training sessions. I have a 10-year-old supermutt dog named Gremlin (Grem) and five adorable rats (Sage, Basil, Parsley, Nettle and Chicory). My fiance and I also share his tiny 4lb Chihuahua mix and our rescue pigeon, Cantaloupe. Animals pretty much run my life.
I mostly write fantasy, supernatural/otherwordly themes, and the occasional high school romance. 90% of my work has romance or romantic subplots because I'm a sucker for love and it's fun to write about for me. I also torture nearly all of my characters in some way or another (what writer doesn't?)
Canine behavior (and animal behavior) is my biggest hobby, but I also draw semi-professionally (commissions, mostly), love music and singing, outdoorsy things, making good food and smoothies, reading, and binge watching shows til 4am.
Glad to be here!

Welcome Renna! Sorry for the delay. The forum is a lot slower than the Discord!
Anyway, do check out the Start link, and feel free to start a PPT and hang out!

I'm Mark, cat whisperer, writer and... I'm sure there ought to be a final thing in the list but nothing springs to mind.
I write urban fantasy, science fiction and any odd thing that occurs to me prompted by the animals around the farm.
Wait. The final thing in the list. I have a farm. Sheep, chickens and mud.
Anyway, the writing. I have a series of humorous urban fantasy novels on kindle, definitely not PG13 and certainly not PC.
I also have a warped sense of humour and the social skills of a toilet brush, but apart from that I'm mostly harmless.(Unless you care about spelling or grammar, in which case I am a menace.)

Haha, then you'll fit right in!
The forum is a lot quieter than the Discord, but it's great because you can talk more in depth here!
