Hi there!
I'm Reven and I'm new to the forum just like you. I haven't written anything in nearly a year as well so I definitely feel for you. I'm really excited to get things moving with my character but I haven't completely figured out what I want her to be. My CS has probably been revised 3 times by now! How are you handling all the information on the site? Better than me, I hope.
Was it difficult for you filling out the character sheet?
The community is really nice from what I've seen so far so it won't be any problem making friends here. I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun.
