Hello, my name is Shannon (Irish spelling Sionainn). I'm an engaged 33 year old bisexual woman from Ireland. I'm an eclectic fire and nature witch who absolutely adores animals. I have many hobbies including crochet, knitting, sewing, embroidery, reading, writing poetry, meditating, tarot, the paranormal and gaming to name a few. Feel free to send me a message, I'm friendly although I am quite shy to begin with when speaking to strangers (that's probably hard to believe as I seem to have no problem introducing myself on my profile!) Unfortunately I cannot work due to various health issues not least of which is my extreme anxiety and panic attacks which leaves me very tired, unable to sleep properly, maintain a healthy routine or leave my home for months at a time. Because of this I have a great understanding for those who suffer mental health issues and other 'invisible' illnesses. Just because someone looks well or seems capable doesn't mean that they actually are. Where others may have 'bad days' we have 'good days' and it's sad to see how misjudged we can be by those who couldn't be bothered to understand just how 'invisible' illnesses work. Behind a hearty laugh or a confident stride you have no idea how much pain or tears or self-doubt it cost us beforehand so please try to be kind to everyone you meet be it online or in the real world. You really have no idea what someone is going through and while it may be easier to make excuses and turn away it takes courage to step out of your comfort zone, acknowledge what you see and hold out a helping hand.

"Welcome,

I've been around for ten years or so. I got banned from another website that I used to play text based roleplaying games on and ended up stumbling over here. We don't do text based roleplaying anymore here, but it turns out writing choose your own adventures is just as fun."

Thanks for the welcome ♥ I'm curious, what could you have done to get banned lol?

"What up my nigga?

I got into interactive fiction because going through violent stories and choosing morally reprehensible actions helped me blow off steam in ways other than harming animals (especially DOGS)."

I hope you're joking! >:-(

"Hey there.

I've been here for a few years, had a different account before this one. Think I first stumbled upon the site in seventh or eighth grade, so at least five years.
I got into choose-your-story adventures because I like writing and this site let me do it and publish it for free (and wasn't blocked on school devices). I learned to adapt to the format.
Welcome to the site! We've got a very unique culture here; don't let that scare you off. This community is more tightly-knit than any other random online writing forum out there, that's for sure. Someone even offered to buy me a rice cooker lately :)

Enjoy your stay!"

 

Thank you for the welcome :) The community does seem to have a variety of personalities here but that's all good ♥ How kind for someone to offer to buy you a rice cooker! A good community, whether online or in real life, always makes wherever you are more fun.

"Hi!

I used to be on a previous website called Infinite Story, before I followed a couple of the members over here. I've always loved choose your own adventure stories, I think because actually having some choice in my life as a child was really important to me.

I'm really good at starting things, though not so good at finishing them. I have one completed storygame and multiple others that I started. And I now have three further ideas, but we'll see how that goes.

 

Welcome to the site! I hope you have fun here!"

 

Thank you for the welcome :) I must check and see if Infinite Stories is still going...

"Yey! I wrote the thing she said! ^_^

No idea what M.U.Ds stand for though. Anyone?

According to Tower of Riddles, I have been here for 12 years! Wow. And what got me into "choose your own adventures" was the literal "choose your own adventure" books I used to read when I was a kid. Those things were awesome. One day I thought I might try writing one, found this site and been around ever since."

 

You really should try to write one, I'm sure a lot of us here are quite creative and would appreciate a new story :) I loved playing the Fighting Fantasy CYOA book games so that's how I got into it all. M.U.D stands for Multi-User-Dungeon which are text based RPG and MMORPG games.

" It's not too late! Run while you still can!"

 

Lol...I think... :D

" Hello there, we hope you enjoy your stay. I also got into this site through the same story. I had already been exposed to paperback CYOA stories in the past, and even made a couple (cringy) ones of my own during my time in college. Finding this site was not only a way to reengage with this type of storytelling, but also as a way for me to motivate myself to actually start writing and publishing. I'm glad I found this community."

 

Have you actually finished any stories yet? I'd be so interested to read something you've written ♥
