Welcome to the Tales Collection, my friends. This is a haven where friends can be made and memories cherished. We offer a variety of activities including roleplaying, writing, polls, contests and the like. There are times when forum life can become stressful but that is what Tales Collection is for-- to escape the frustration of everyday life. Rant about the injustices of life, share the joys of your day, post that history paper for all we care. Simply put, this forum is for discussion and provides a place where individuals can find others who have something in common with them.
7-15-08 The Tales Fantasy roleplay is finally up! Check out the respective boards for details and ask whatever questions you have in the Questions thread.
6-29-08 Hello there, everyone! Tales Collection has had a pretty good opening month plus seeing as most of the originally active Tales members have returned. We do have some new ones as well which is great. For those who want something more competitive, check out the contest section since we have a writing contest in session! 5-06-08 I am convinced that Tales Collection is pretty much complete, although there are still some minor things I may want to add or fix. Meanwhile, members are free to advertise and flock in at their own leisure. ^-^

The Rubric As much as we all love fun and games, let's be realistic for just a second. In order to make this forum a safe and social place, there has to be a few rules to set into place. We're not asking for much-- just some common decency and obvious manners. Moderator: Arynielle

Test your Skills (1 sub-board) While the Trainee board is for roleplayers of all skill levels, the Honors and Master boards are for those who have passed exams gauging those skills. Think you have what it takes? Go on and fill the application inside and the judges will get back to you with results in a period of less than a week. Moderator: Arynielle
Roleplaying for... Trainees (1 sub-board) Anyone is free to post here regardless of skill levels. In fact, everyone will post here until an application is approved for admission into another roleplaying board. Enter a world of fascination, where you don't have to be yourself for once. Roleplay to your heart's content. Moderator: Arynielle
Roleplaying for... Honors (1 sub-board) For those who understand the basics but aren't quite there with top-notched roleplayers... this is the board for you. Here, you can hone your skills and discover the magic of writing with others who are at about the same skill level as you are. Do not post here unless you have been accepted as an Honors Roleplayer. Moderator: Arynielle
Roleplaying for... Masters (1 sub-board) Alright, so no one's perfect, but some people can come pretty close to it. This board is for the serious roleplayers who have become very skillful at portraying their characters-- here, interaction between the best can happen. Do not post here unless you have been accepted as a Master Roleplayer. Moderator: Arynielle
The Portal Your Tales Fantasy beings here. Step inside for information and any sorts of updates. Tales Fantasy is not restricted any sort of literacy level so definitely feel free to explore for a while. Please enjoy.
Through the Gate (1 sub-board) Once you've explored the portal thoroughly enough and understand its terms, create a character [Ideally yourself] in here. Wait for it to be approved and then you are free to roleplay with your fellow members. Also, discussion threads can be found in here.
Fayst Nastale (2 sub-boards) The world of Fayste Nastale is a curious one, full of dangers and wonders. Ideally, it is a fantasy realm parallel to a world of our own, thus allowing human beings from earth to pass through its portal. This is where you will venture and, hopefully, find friends of your own.

Mt. Olympus Ever heard of Mt. Olympus? It is where the Greek Gods supposedly lived, and if you've heard any of the old legends, you'll know that there is never peace up there. There's always some sort of argument or disaster among the Gods-- it happens in life too. Come here to rant about life's problems and, perhaps, even get some advice. Moderator: Arynielle
First Aid We all know that life isn't exactly merciful and there are just those things that we don't know. This is the forum to ask others. How do you tie a tie? How does a boutonniere/corsage work? In fact, what is a boutonniere? How do I pass x level on x video game? Etcetera. Have a blast. Moderator: Arynielle
