I actually found roleplaying through the Wings of Fire message board- it intrigued me, and although I really had no idea what it was, I figured it couldn't be too different from writing fictional stories, so I decided to enter into it. I've honestly got no idea what interested me about it, but I guess I just liked the concept of the plot, whatever it was. I vaguely recall something about a war and dragons trying to make peace- maybe it was the war part I liked? I don't know, I'm just really glad I found it out, otherwise I wouldn't have found so many of the great sites I've been on.
