A prophecy foretells a boy who will destroy the world at the age of 15. Now, it has been 12 years since his birth. Can you stop him? May things be more difficult, or more complex, than you would expect?

Thank you!

I saw the pm before this, but I'll repost my answer here in case any other newbie finds it useful. It's certainly not the most high-tech thing and may not be the most efficient method but it worked for me.

First go to my stuff > pictures and upload a photo. There are some size and dimension limitations so you can play around with those until it fits. My low tech way of making it a smaller file was just to take square screenshots of the same image until the image was accepted.. But there are probably ways to simply compress it online.

Then you can go to my stuff > profile > avatar photo and pick the image out

Absolutely! Great for visualizing something you aren't able to draw. And also can just be fun to play around with!

Hi! And thank you, I made it with a character creator on picrew. I believe this is the one I used. I'm working on my ability to draw humans, and hopefully will be able to draw the character in my pfp myself someday! 

It does! In a group chat I was in we noticed that ;-; looked a little crab-like. We were awkward children so we used it often, and found an affection towards ;-; and hence crabs. This snowballed into us spamming the crab emoji for fun, and the three of us involved decided we had a crab cult. It evolved to be more than just spamming the crab emoji, with basic tenants forming which amounted to be a good person, swear with crabs/lobsters only, and also don't dox yourself. Some of us were beginning to have an online presence. With mine, I thought I might spread the crab cult, so I named myself the High Priestess (priest for short, due to length restrictions. I also thought and still think priest feels cooler than priestess.) The two other friends I had who it had started with I also labeled as the Crab Queen, and Crab King, though they didn't incorporate this into their usernames. I keep attachments to old things, so my name underwent very little variation. The common ones being JadeTheCrab or JadeTheCrabHighPriest: Jade being the name I took for myself online, along with being the name of a representation of myself to my characters.

Awesome! I shall check out this treasure trove at my next reading opportunity!

Thank you! It's an idea that's been in my mind for awhile, and is well suited for something shorter which I saw was recommended for a first story. I do quite a bit of roleplaying so I have many ideas that have been fleshed out and evolved. If I really get into it, I have some ambitious ideas that will lean towards quite a length if I choose them. 

I have checked out at least one of Endmaster's, and I think I've seen one from Ninjapitka as well. I'll confess when I was first browsing I didn't pay close attention to the names of the authors.

Thank you! I've done a good amount of reading so far. Absolutely loving how much is on this site, given how much trouble I was having finding stories earlier. I'm not a big reviewer, though I am going to try and leave more now that I have an account!

I think I first found this site about a week ago looking for a good supply of choose your story games. I decided to make an account and try my hand at making one of my own. I might also post some of my short pieces of writing.
