I figured as an introduction post, I should keep things simple:
- Identify myself,
- state my intentions for Steemit, and
- start interacting with the community.
So... hello. I'm Anya Ehrim. I've been seeking a community where I can casually post my art and writing without too much judgment. Steemit's blog-like format fits this need very well, and I chose here because I love that my participation can genuinely support others in the community. It feels very fair. Actually, I might end up participating in discussions more than filling in my own blog roll. I'm sure the community would not be opposed to that in the slightest. :-)
I'm particular to politics, science, anime, and gaming so I'll be most active in those tags (in addition to art and writing). I'm also a major advocate for basic income (a type of welfare reform), but I won't be using Steemit to write or talk much about it. I do that too much everywhere else, and want this place to be more for self-improvement and medicating... if that makes sense.
Here are places you can find me when I'm not on Steemit:
Facebook - Twitter - Reddit - Medium - YouTube - Tumblr - Patreon - Personal Site
I can also be directly contacted through Discord (Ehrim#0103) or Line (kohakunamida).
...Hmm...
For my first blog post, I was thinking of some organic/creative way to further prove my identity. My only idea so far is to take one of my recent digital art pieces and post screenshots of it deconstructed into its various layers. Would that be interesting? Maybe the community would like me to make something new? I wouldn't mind that, either. Both sound like fun.
At any rate, thanks so much for having me. Cheers!

Haha I think you sufficiently proved your identity. Most of the people who are pretending to be someone else are pretty obviously fake. That being said creativity is always good.
"Actually, I might end up participating in discussions more than filling in my own blog roll." This is actually one of the pieces of advice that I always give to new users. Before your blog starts getting attention, it is often much more profitable to comment than it is to post, both in terms of quality follower (as opposed to the bot and the spammer followers that we all have) growth and payouts. However it is important to have a nice balance between comments and lengthy posts but it is up to you to determine what that balance is.
Watch out for spammers who leave some generic compliment like "great post" or something. They are trying to get you to upvote and follow but they rarely, if ever, reciprocate the kindness so it is best to save your upvotes for people who you think deserve them. There are some scammers floating around too so stay away from shady looking links but that is true of the internet in general and I am sure you don't need me to tell you that.
The site can be a little weird and take some getting used to. If you are trying to look for tags, either to consume content or as a place to post your content, it is best to replace the tag name in the address bar with the one that you are trying to look for. Doing that will save you some of the headaches that I had when I started.
At the moment the price of steem is a little low and, as a result, so are payouts, particularly for newer users who don't have a reliable following yet. Don't let that discourage you. Things are slow for everyone when they first start. The low price has some advantages too. You get more SP in your payouts (and that is super important) and there is far less competition for attention with fewer people posting at the moment.
Sorry about the length of the comment but hopefully some of that will come in handy at some point. Judging by what you wrote, I think you will do fine here.
Good luck.

Such a long reply of advice! <3 Thanks especially for the tagging tip because I noticed the navigation was a bit strange.
And yes, yes yes. I have definitely noticed a lot of strange replies, so I keep coming back to upvote the real comments, especially in this first post. I'm sure that'll have to change that behavior in the future to make sure my vote has some power.
Also it's also a very good tip to just not click links which go off-site (Tumblr is so much more dodgy in that regard). I've already found a great community through Discord though, so I hope to support it as much as possible.
Thanks again. <3

Hello back. I'm glad you like the idea. I'm still thinking of other things I could possibly do, too, but nothing seems as solid or engaging, content-wise so far. I'm actually good at writing solid blocks of superfluous text... er... I mean explanative Reddit replies, articles, and short stories... So yes... It's definitely not the talent for a tl;dr Internet audience. ^_^;

Hi Anya, welcome to Steemit. Perhaps you have a lot of questions about Steemit and the best answer is from reading the Steemit Official website - Welcome & FAQ Page.
That's a nearly perfect validation of you. The other way to verify yourself (which is the silly one) is to hold to a paper and write the Steem ID and joined date of Steemit.
Have fun learning and share your experiences in Steemit. Cheers!

Hi Anya! Very nice to meet you!
Usually I'd write a whole lot more but I'm in a bit of a rush here - going out to buy furniture... (oh joy, lol).
But I see you've joined our very Snekky community so I wanted to welcome you... To it, and to Steemit!
I hope to chat to you in Discord ^^

Welcome Anya! Your intention to interact more with others at the beginning is a good start on Steemit. Best advice one could give you is to be patient and not to think at rewards, at least not in the first few months. They may or may not come at the beginning, but it's more important to meet new people. Have fun!

Thank you! And yes, I was definitely thinking of ignoring the little $0.00 bit... for a long while, in fact. I'm too obscure to be discouraged by possible lack of engagement. I like communicating and supporting others more than presenting myself anyway.
