Welcome to The Scarlet Letters, the blog of The Rubric. My name (for here, anyway) is The Dented Pen, but you can call me Denty, or Pendy, or Your Holiness. Well, maybe not the last one.
There was not an adequate wiki out there for Red Quill, and the community was hungering for one. Users were constantly asking questions in chat and in the subreddit that weren't explained on the site, and they didn't have anywhere to turn. Because of the nature of the site, and subsequently the wiki, normal wiki options like Fandom and Miraheze weren't really available to us. Like Hester Prynne, I wasn't going to let a bunch of uptight Puritans stop me, so I just made one myself. And this is that wiki.
It's just little ole me manning the Scriptorium right now, so information will be filled in slowly, but I am trying to concentrate on the FAQ and Tips pages to make as much useful information as possible available. If you'd like to help out, you can apply here.
Thanks for stopped by, and happy writing!
