Can you please tell me what your experience with the TES fandom has been, and how it has changed over time, if you think it has. In particular, can you include:
  
  
  
  What year you become involved with the TES franchise
  
  
  What your first TES game was
  
  
  When you started becoming involved in the TES fandom
  
  
  What platforms you started talking to the fandom on, and what ones you interact on now
  
  
  How you think the fans have reacted to new games
  
  
  How the communities you are part of are different from the ones you started in (are they?)

  For my part, I began playing TES with Morrowind in around 2003 or 2004, but didn't really get in involved with the fandom until around 2007-8 I think, where I needed some modding help. I started on the Bethsoft forums, and in addition to the very helpful tech support fans on thos...    less

I was around mainly between 2011-2014 but can see the last time I was active was Fallout 4's release in 2015.
  Crazy to think I signed up to this place 8 years ago and chatted with some amazing and talented people, we've all continued to grow as people since then and I'm interested to see what the community is up to and how it has evolved. I'm hoping to stick around for a while if you'll have me!
  I did enjoy writing and was part of the less than productive group story... I'm awful with names and have since forgotten the name, 'children of....?'
  Hope you're all well and feel free to drop me a DM or reply to this thread to chat! I've also taken the liberty of joining the Discord :)  less

I was inspired by all the Peryite-themed items in the Crown Store, and at the same time realised I had made a mistake with my Necromancer character which ended up straying from what I had planned. I just don't get on well with magicka characters. Time for a new one, then, stamina-based and a way of incorporating necromancy, Peryite, and Redguard honour into one character.
  I'm ironing out the backstory details, but I'm thinking I'd like him or her to be connected to the Crimson Ship and the Day of Shame. This ship, loaded with Kothringi refugees fleeing Blackmarsh and the Knahaten Flu, was turned away at every port. Later, all the Kothringi aboard were found dead as told in the book Pirates of the Abecean.
  I quite like the idea of a character being maybe one of the guards of a port city in Hammerfell who turned the Crimson Ship away on that day which would become the Day of Sh...    less
