Hey guys! This thread is for squeeing, character claims, introductions for new players, questions about characters and settings, etc. It is a continuation of this thread on Alicornutopia.

Please put "Backstage" in the thread title for recent-posts-page reasons. Also, broken link.

Hm. Have I accidentally stumbled upon a closed group role playing forum and inserted myself? If so, I'd be happy to phase my way out. I hadn't realized this was started by a larger preexisting community.
My sincere apologies if I have tread upon any unstated rules or any preexisting canon.

I think it's pretty open! Although if you didn't get here through alicornutopia I'm curious about how you did.

I would guess Tumblr!
Related: I'm 99% sure that this is not a closed group (I don't see why it would be), partly because Lambda put a link on Tumblr.

Tumblr. I saw a reply from someone I follow and jumped in without knowing anything.
I will refrain from being too intrusive anyway, but at least I know why I subtly felt like I was missing a joke or two.

If you have a lot of free time, you can pick up on most of the jokes by reading lots of glowfic, I think.

Hahaha, I don't mind missing the joke, but at least you all will be aware that I am on the outjoke for most of it.
I'd read all of Glowfic, but I think I got pulled away after the first solid half or so of Effulgence, and couldn't figure out where to start up again. I also read Luminosity. All of it was excellent, but I am a little busy with full time work and real-life to keep up with what seems like a mountain of excellent content I can't keep up without missing things.
This forum is fun because it is short form and easy to pick up or put down.

I also assumed it was not a closed group, and told some school friends about it. I think only one of them has made an account though, and she has so far been lurking.
Hadassah, your writing has been very enjoyable to me, as well!

with glowfic I would recommend either going in order (to find your place maybe start in the middle, see if you remember anything, if not then backtract to a quarter way up the index), but if you don't have a lot of time, maybe starting at the bottom is better (those are the unpealed threads that are still self contained worlds not sprawling things. Or if you remember the last major event or the last new character introduction someone else might be able to find it for you.
Effulgence itself hasn't been updating very much lately so it's entirely possible you can catch up even reading slowly.

The forum is open to everyone. If I wanted it to be closed I could have set registrations to require approval or something.
Getting the jokes is, I think, not required. There hasn't been a lot of stuff-to-get that I've noticed so far, and you can always ask for explanations. The only thing that comes to mind is that Andrew can acquire a copy of any book given title and author, and QUALITY DISCOUNT SPELLBOOKS doesn't realize this.

Well, there's the potato thing, but that's HPMOR, not glowfic.
Did someone take over that account? I'm not planning to (of all the characters I am not capable of RPing, HJPEV tops the list, I can only barely pull off the Fortunomancer and I invented her magic system), but I'm curious.
