HELLO HUMANS AND ALIENS ALIKE! It is I, yours truly, Howler!
Yes, yes, bow your heads, spread your wings, King/Queen Chaos is coming through. Are you sure you're prepared for this?
Heck, lets test that. Below in spoilers is some information about me!
...
Stalker...

(view spoiler)[Yo! What's up, homie? It's me again, Howler, back at you with an actual description of who the bloody hell harry I am. I am your lovable, seemingly pure and innocent, huggable and grandmazing Ice-SeaWing. I also go by Jay, C.C, Willy Wonka, King Byers, Harry, and DJ. I'm apart of the Harry Potter, Stranger Things, IT, FNaF, MCYT, and Ninjago fandoms the most. Though, I am apart of a few others as well such as JW / JP, HTTYD, etc. You will find out quite quickly that I am a Semi-Advanced role player, and prefer to have people write a paragraph+ when Roleplaying with me.
I have been on Goodreads for a few years, and I'm happy to help any who need assistance. I do have slight social anxiety. I also join in on pranks, and if you need a Secret-Keeper, I'm the one to call.
My birthday is September of the 24th, meaning I am a Libra. I was actually born late and up until birth everyone thought I didn't have a right arm. I was also diagnosed with Protan Colorblindness, but in the end it didn't make it, though some colors for me are still different than the regular eye can see.
I am a Wings of Fire drawer, and I love recreating people as dragons, cats, or any animal, really. I also draw wolves (particularly Werewolves) and other magical beasts. I am a minor, and a very protective one at that.
If you want to suggest songs to me, make sure they aren't country or extremely dirty-minded musicals. I often listen to sad songs, FNaF songs, and modern pop + rap. My favorite song makers are CG5, Imagine Dragons, Netrum, Derivakat, Wilbur Soot, Alec Benjamin, and quite a few others.
If you have any questions, feel free to Private Message me. I'm always open for conversation, and I love having active Roleplay notifications.
I'm an LGTBQA+ supporter. I don't usually hate people that go against it unless they start talking full blown crap they don't deserve to say. If you mess with my friends as well, I'll have you know I am capable of hacking you, finding your address, getting a plane ticket, and making your life living....beep boop bad place.
Anyways, as I have said before, if you have questions about me or need help with something, feel free to ask! Don't hesitate at all! ^^ …even though I literally just threatened you….sorry, not sorry! :D (hide spoiler)]

-»Yours Truly,
Howler
Your "Ordinary" IceWing of the internet since 2014

Hello! I am EchoDaKat. My pronouns are she/her, and I don’t publish anything because I never want to finish heh. I write Warrior Cats fanfics, along with Wings of Fire. Sometimes I write a horror that turns into something involving a cat, because I am obsessed with them. I write poetry, but very rarely these days.I like cats, want a cat, have a turtle that I WAS going to name Cat, but his name is Honu. I am getting a cat next year, my room is cat themed, I have cat vinyl stickers EVERYWHERE and-
Yea.
I think you get it.
I am very violent sometimes, but I usually try to stay calm. I am in 7 roleplays, so I might not be on here often. I also like turtles. Cats are better though. My dream is FINALLY GET A CAT and sit by a fireplace reading a book with a blanket…

Welcome EchDaCat and Oshawott! Happy to have you

And you!

Oo cool!
I hope it all works out for you
Welcome to the group

Hi all,

I'm Charlie (she/they), 26. Very new to Goodreads but an old hand at gothic/fantasy literature. Currently studying literature specialising in queer and genderqueer representations in gothic medieval aesthetic culture but my first love has always been writing!

For the past couple of years, I have been working on a fantasy YA novel set in a kingdom suspended in the clouds above the earth which no one can ever leave and got about 60,000 words in, only over the past year or so I've been feeling like I don't really connect with my original vision for it and so I've put it to one side and am looking for inspiration for a new project which is why I joined this group!

I think I'm best at writing dialogue and characters and constructing compelling worlds around them (and that's what I most enjoy writing) only that's a little difficult to do without a plot, which is absolutely where I fall down. I'm currently racking my brain for somewhere to take an idea I've had for an absurdist fantasy story about a haunted suit of armor who is called to pursue some kind of trad chivalric quest, and repeatedly coming up short, SO if anyone here has any ideas/would like to collaborate on constructing a plot so that I can actually write the thing I would welcome the help haha (feel free to shoot me a message :D)

Anyways, thanks for having me here!

Hi!
@Rowen- welcome! That's really cool that you write poems and music!
@Charlie- Welcome to GR and our group- everyone is welcome here! We have a lot of inspiration in the Writer's Corner, from plot to ideas and feel free to ask particular questions in any area! Plot is hard but after some inspiration, you can be well on your way to a great story- your idea sounds great so far!

welcome Rowen and Charlie!

@Rowen that is really cool you write poetry and songs! and it's alright not to know your genres, it'll come with time ;)

@Charlie I totally understand the struggle with writing without a plot but like everything else, like you said. if you ever need anything (inspo, tips, an honest opinion, etc.) don't be afraid to ask.
