[quote=@HHShetland]Thus, I have questions. Forgive me if this is a question everyone asks, but how does this work, exactly? Do we post RP ideas on this thread and hope people like the sound of them, or do we contact individual members we like and discuss the ideas with them, or do you make RPs yourself?[/quote]

Yes.

Pretty sure that answers it.

There's also a chatroom and apparently Skype.

[quote]Also, are there any particular pieces of lore that I'd need to absolutely know? I deeply appreciate answers given to these questions.[/quote]
The wiki, expect lots of reading.

Thwirtley will likely give a better explanation, time permitting
