Though it is not open yet, I would like to announce that there shall be a resurrection of Factions! For those who are unfamiliar with Factions, let me explain.

Factions are a group of online role-playing clans created here in TFF that will interact with each other within a open and free TFF World. Basically, take the concept of MMORPGs with people forming clans and you'll have an understanding of what it's like, except everything is based on role-playing and there's no 3D graphics. In this case, Factions is a great source for character development, friendship through bonds, teamwork, and blowing s*** up! Above all, it's a great place to write and improve yourself.

One other thing I'd like to talk about is my realization of how important Factions/Clans are to role-playing sites. Truly, no RP site can survive without them, period. Factions are the lungs that breed activity, motivation, and a greater ability to interact with people you normally wouldn't talk to. Furthermore, Factions are the ONE thing that holds ALL of it together because of such activity.

Lastly, I would like to mention, yes, parts of Factions aren't for the faint of heart. A lot of things that happen between Factions can cause great conflict and drama that can affect people emotionally. I want to stress, however, that by no means will THESE Factions be exclusive to the little people. I'm talking about newbs and young writers who have only just begun to role-play and may feel intimidated by the big dogs and the epic attitude that comes from such emotional descriptive writing.

So for all the young writers and young role-players out there who are reading this, do not be afraid to step up nor think this is a place where everything must be epic and everyone must write tons of long paragraphs to be accepted. Factions is not just a place for great stories. It's a place for everyone to grow and nourish our imaginations. Whether it's something funny or serious, know that all is accepted here.

Anyway, for anyone who wants to check it out, go to the Factions IC (link) forum and read around. Things are only just beginning, so get a good look at the core of what will be a legacy for TFF.

It's time to start a bleeping revolution.
