WHY ALCHEMY?

I'd have to agree. Veronica always has a way of recruiting and she got me into a few things in the past (i.e. Fanfiction writing, Supernatural, here) and, believe it or not, I always end up liking it as much as she does. I was never a part of the original Alchemy SL, but once Veronica told me about it and I actually got a chance to read some of the SLs from the other site, I was hooked in easily. I've been rping since junior year of HS and i've been in a few rpgs since then (i.e. original, Eragon, HP, LotR, TB, SPN), taking in the experiences from those and putting it to use here. With a storyline, I can see my OC getting into a particular one if that SL really catches my eye...or, if I'm able to make one up, I can see a few easily starting to form in my head.

Personally, I wouldn't mind drama to happen in the SL, but irl, it's a bit much on my health nowadays (gotten sick twice from massive ones). Personally, I got a nice welcome from a few other players that i got to introduce myself to outside of here with a little help from Veronica herself. I'd recommend others to join this SL and any future ones.

Why Alchemy? Because it's grown, brought amazing people together, and helped people find dedicated and passionate writers. I was apart of the original storyline, and actually co-owned/created it alongside Matt, and I have to admit it's one of the best storylines I've been apart of. Alchemy brought me close to two of the current admins (there have been many timeframes in the storyline, and admins have changed), and that it something I can never forget. OOC talk, and even OOC connection is sometimes very important to play, and here it will never falter. Alchemy has become much more than just a storyline, it has become a family of writers who love to play and who love one another.

Writer wise? It's only the best of the best. Everyone within the storyline is creative and dedicated to their characters and this storyline. We think of plots, have areas where people can suggest and generally want everyone to be comfortable and happy within play without feeling limited or feeling God-moded. This is generally a great storyline, and a fun place to be ooc and ic wise.

I was in the original alchemy. I cannot, for the life of me, remember how I found it, but I'm glad I did. I've been in hundreds of storylines on AOL since I started roleplaying about 10 or 11 years ago, and when I think of all my favorite storylines, this one is number one. No lie. I can't remember ever being in a more active, exciting, well thought out storyline with as many talented, awesome members as we had back then. A lot of the friendships started in the original Alchemy lasted me all these years.

I've always been excited when ressurections of Alchemy were brought to my attention. There were just so many fun things - the IC drama, the scandals, the OOC 'voting on best moments' we did, not to mention all the fun back-story writing we role played out from when our characters were younger. This storyline gives so much oppourtunity to be creative and imaginative... it's just amazing.

I'm especially excited for this renewal of Alchemy! All the previous backstories have been erased - which is alright with me. Even though the first Alchemy was ridiculously awesome, a clean slate is always the best way to go, with a brand new character to have brand new experiences. : ) I'll miss Margaux (my original character), but I'm definitely excited for my new Diviner!

Because. Its kind of like asking, "Why do you breathe?". Well not really, if you don't play in Alchemy you won't die, so I guess that isn't a good analogy. But why not play? Alchemy is full of really fun people, great plot, awesome admins and more fun than you can shake a stick at. Not that I've ever actually seen a stick being shaken at fun before, but still. You get the idea. Or you had better, or I'll shake a stick at you. With that being said, seriously, give Alchemy a shot! This is a fun game and there is something here for everyone! BELIEVE IT!
