Gwaihir Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 Have many of you been wondering if that whole debate about the guilds ever amounted to anything? Well, IT DID! We, who were elected guild leaders, have been working on them ever since! We missed our original release date, BUT we are very very close to opening them to everyone! How exciting! There will be three different guilds. One is centered around poetry, one centered around creative writing and one centered around RP/multi-authored storylines. The purpose of the guilds is to add spice to an already wonderful writers association. The Pen has a great structure of advancement and recognition. It has been said in the past that sometimes it feels like some of that adventure slows down once you reach the respected title of Quill bearer. The purpose of the guilds is to help alleviate that feeling. Now, it is important to keep in mind that the titles here at The Pen are little more than public recognition of writers dedicated to continual growth and effort while helping others to do the same. The Pen is not interested in a system that ranks one person above another. All people here are equal. From non-writers yet avid readers to beginning writers to old hands who’s work you swear should be published! We strive to achieve a mutual level of friendship and respect. The guilds are simply a new way to share in our mutual love of literature! They will be open to be viewed by anyone page or higher, however, to join a guild, one must be a quill bearer. Once you reach quill bearer you may join any or all three of the guilds. However, many of the events put on by the guilds will be open to any member of The Pen. Each guild is structured differently, so be sure to explore them. We are still in the beginning phases and are very open to suggestions. We want these guilds to be YOUR guilds. No one will be denied entrance into a guild. By the time you’ve been given the title of quill bearer you have more than shown your love and dedication to writing as well as The Pen. Each guild has different ways that you join and progress, however they are just for fun. We have worked hard and will continue to work hard and fine tune the guilds so that they are something that brings great joy to The Pen. Once they open, please don’t hesitate to explore them and give us your suggestions. Some things have been left undone or half done specifically so that your input can help fine tune and mold them. As always if you have any questions and/or comments you can post on the ooc boards within the guilds directly or pm any of the guild leaders. ~Salinye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peredhil Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 W00T! I know that despite Real Life's evils, there has been a great deal of work put into this offering to the membership. I, for one, am looking forward to seeing what's going to appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
