If you want to make an AE, Allie, go right ahead! There's no such thing as 'too new' to do something here. Some people make AEs immediately after joining, some wait a little longer, both are fine. As for not knowing which section to post in, that's alright. Everyone on this site started without knowing where to post stuff. Most AE stuff does go on Chirp at Cricket, I've noticed, but sometimes there's more on Down to Earth. Have fun creating your AE, if you decide to do so!

DO IT!!!!!! i created THREE right after joining! but don't do more than one if you don't have good personalitys for more than one! a general limit is three AEs but you can have more if you really really want to.

Sure, but don't rush through the actual creation. Pick an AE that isn't the typical bookish, emo, or insane, and have the personality maybe be a hidden part of yourself. Give them hopes and dreams, and any additional things like favorite colors. Pick their appearance too. THEN, you can FINALLY post a intro for them. This is a very overzealous backstory writer speaking, however, so do whatever you want. And don't make too many! I have four AEs, and they're really hard to manage.

hey! grr...

imnn outt hrde tweo mnng!

I find that offensive.

*what's going on?* *are people mad?* im mad too!* rar!*

See what I mean?...

You can if you want to, although it's not required. Put some thought into it, either way.

Go right ahead! I never really got into the whole AE thing-- the ones I created weren't very unique and I got lost trying to keep of all of the other ones (not that I tried very hard). But that doesn't hold true for most people. So like Autumn Moon said, don't rush developing them and have fun!
