Im here if anyone else is..
I'm here, but I'm just gonna hang until the fleet gets to Pandaria, in all honesty.
E: Also, Gum, sorry for not posting in Aftermath. I've been busy and Ald's been gone.

It's been a little slow. Granted, the day you joined was extra slow.

I'm really glad to be back though, and if it's a little slower its kinda nice for me, I can get stuff done instead of checking back and replying every 30 seconds like back in A20 xD

I remember those. The Makorr that was going before was like that at times as well. This one that's going now is a bit slower than the others.

Oh, Atik, should I land sometime? I haven't been paying attention, so I don't know what's going on >_<

Yeah, boats are landing.
Admittedly? I sort of forgot about this as well...
I keep thinking I have these awesome ideas for RPs... and then they seem to fall apart in practice...

Is there any place in Wowhead that tells you when a new RP story is aviable. I'd love to make stories but im new to RPing and i have stories in my minds but seem pretty..um... :(

What do mean by available?
Edit: If you are talking about a fan fic, there are threads about that in the Helpful thread section. If you are talking about a new RP, can discuss it here.

Well, there's two basic types on these boards:
Open RP's
Fanfics
The RP's are created with a set story in mind, and the OP may or may not take the role of Dungeon Master (though this usually doesn't happen). You create your own characters and/or plotlines within the set story.
Fanfics can be written anytime and are whatever you want them to be (though controlling lore characters and breaking the canon is frowned upon).
For example, some of my own work.

There is really no limit to the number of RPs that can be going on, but usually three seems to be the maximum that will move at a good pace.
If you really want to launch a good RP, you need to have a nice and refined idea, and be willing to do your part to keep it going.
And most of all, you need to know when to hit with it. When I launched Mists, the borad had been moving kind of slow, all we had was Aftermath and Makorr at the moment. Also, there had been a lot of talk about the "Mists of Pandaria" thing being thrown about, so I figured to pull an equivelent to what A20 had done and roll it out as an RP.

My advice to you, Arrya, is to start as simple as you possibly can. My first two characters were both normal Stormwind guards. Nothing more, nothing less. Don't worry about what other people are doing, as what they are doing is probably something you won't be able to pull off without experience.
What helped me get started, was to read the RP's themselves. I personally would suggest reading at least the first few pages of
The Killing Games
(or at least until characters start interacting with each other) to get a feel for how an Open RP works.
If you're worried about intruding, don't be. Try joining one of the main groups, but don't be the delegator of the group, be the follower. That way, you end up not intruding, but are still able to happily RP with the rest of the group. I guess what i'm trying to say is, let the others do the "storytelling" while you react to said storytelling.
And, as Atik has told you, read the stickies. They really are helpful.
I really hope this helps. :)

Atik: Nothing interesting about this woman whatsoever. Occasionally, she'll look over her shoulder, or cringe when she hears a noise, but otherwise she's a perfectly normal, boring, girl. Boring boring boring.
Maybe she'll do something interesting tonight. Like get drunk and run out in front of speeding bus. That would be hilarious.
Steward cracks me up.
