Not me getting my Discord hacked after accidentally clicking on a suspicious link-
Make sure it's not a redline stealer.
I don't think it's a redline stealer, since there wasn't really any signs that rose more suspicion. Thankfully though, and I don't know if it makes too much of a difference, this was done on an older laptop strictly for schoolwork and projects so the only things I had logged in was my Discord and YT account, which didn't have any credit card info stored. Didn't look like my YT account was compromised unlike my Discord either.

Here's to hoping I can eventually get my account back anyway! If not, it's a good thing the majority of my friends are on other servers that I can still get back in touch with

this is one of the reasons why i've been so hesitant in trying to make an ic of my own. my graphic skills are so poor and i personally don't think words alone can garner enough interest hgfdsdfgffds btw this is not a jab on anyone this is just for me and me only




It's 100% okay if your graphic skills aren't the best! Just to piggyback a bit on what Neko said, you don't have to be super intricate in your IC; words have a bigger impact than you think. There's been IC where words alone have garnered a lot of interest because they give a better insight of what the site is, what it offers, etc, and you can make a better judgement on whether or not said site is interesting for you.

For me, I'd keep things short and sweet. Give a blurb of what your site is. Give people an idea of what to expect form your site/things you plan to create. What genre is it? Will there be quests? Canon positions? Difference races? Will it be 18+? Are there stats? Little things like this can really help people get a clearer idea of what you'll be making. A graphic added can definitely help, but writing is most important and aesthetics are secondary to a lot of people, like myself for example. That said, graphic only is just as valid!

I wish you the best of luck to not just the IC, but also the site creation and bringing it to life!

I enjoy the character approach. I think it really sets the tone of the thread and gives somewhat of a good idea of what other characters/writers would expect from my own; if it's your first time meeting them/reading about them, then going just a little in depth with their thoughts and beliefs can give a better first impression of who my character is initially.

Dipping my toes into attempting to create a site (daring on my part tbh, I'd say), I never realized how hard it is to come up with a name for a site. Like... really hard. It can't just be anything, it has to fit the site's overall theme and genre. It makes me appreciate even the littlest things within the process!

I try to post all at once, just to get it off my chest if all the threads I'm in have been replied to. Keyword: try. XD I feel more organized and freer knowing every post that needed to be owed was owed all at once. Admittedly, there have been threads I was lowkey more invested in, which had a slight higher priority in. I found that hoarding made me more focused compared to doing it as I go, but I feel in my case it tends to depend on how fast a person posts AND how long their post is.

That said, this made me reflect on just how much threads I've bit off more than I could chew, which could make hoarding a lot more draining than expected, so I tend not to take on too many threads no matter how badly I wanted to plot with someone just to avoid burning myself out.
