PM-d Tamur and he said that I should introduce myself here as a new member of MHWS. First of all, greetings to all members. This seems to be a very nice and helpful community, and I'm happy to join in.

Although I'm a "freshman" here, I've been posting since a few months on TWC with the same nick. Tried my very first AAR which was delayed due to my exams. Now that I'm free, I can devote more time to my hobbies, especially writing.

The reasons why I'd like to join are quite obvious: sharpening my quill and eventually improving my English .

This online course is a great idea, and many thanks to Tamur for his excellent lessons. I wish I had this kind of content and approach in school.

I haven't decided, what I will be writing about in the exercises, as I don't have any fixations. I guess the exercises will give me good ideas.

Ha, fresh blood. I'm quite inquisitive what your style as a writer will be. Obviously, the people participating here have too different styles and this will only benefit the whole project.

Welcome PowerWizard,
I too am a newer Mead Hall member. It is ok to be clueless when starting out here. :) One aspect I've enjoyed about Tamur's lessons is that each one can generate a different story idea. - Or a new character. I was looking through the past assignments and realized that I have several ideas now I could develop out into larger projects down the road.

On a different note, what is an AAR? I went to the link and guess it has something to do with historical scenarios? After Googling AAR, I came up with things like the Assosciation of American Railroads, and the All-American Rejects.
I bet it is something else though... right?

Welcome PowerWizard!

I second (or third) that there does not have to be a set style from lesson to lesson. Take the assignment in whatever direction works for you.

MT...around here AAR stands for 'After Action Report', and it is a form that shows up on other game centric forums also. There aren't any hard fast rules, but usually they are serials at least loosely based on a game...obviously here that would likely be a Total War series game. This is a thread in the Throne Room section that lists the AARs on The Org.
