Young Writers Society

Welcome to Roleplay Buddies! This is a program where we group up new and old roleplayers to start a new journey together, focusing on having fun and learning. Here, you'll enter either as someone new/inexperienced to roleplaying or someone experienced to roleplaying!

It's a wonderful chance for those who don't know much about roleplaying to learn new things, and who knows, even the veteran roleplayers may learn a thing or two from mentoring others, while having fun along the way.

New to certain aspects of the roleplay forum but not others? You can fill out both forms! Want to take part in the Buddy System multiple times? You can opt to join in again after the first round of buddies has been announced!

Greetings, Buddies!

It's halfway through Roleplay Month, so this little phoenix thought what better way to keep the fun going than to announce the groupings for this round of Buddies!!

Since everyone who signed up was interested in the longer and larger form of roleplays, we have split everyone up into two groups!

Group One
@KateHardy
@Spearmint
@chrysanthemumcentury
@RangerofIthilien
@Valkyria

Group Two
@WeepingWisteria
@Ley
@SoullessGinger
@winterwolf0100
@Isbah

What's Next?

Well, for you two groups, now's your time to create an OOC thread to discuss your new roleplay together c:

And for anyone still interested in signing up (or signing up again) for RP Buddies, we are certainly still open!
