I was wondering if you enter an RP story where a whole bunch of people have been RPing for a while wouldn't it be better to personal message someone from the RP story first before just jumping in?
We had that happen in the RP story in The Woods of Alq with Alderyn and Thatzly and when Alderyn and I went into RP we really confused because the newcomer jumped in and we weren't sure how to add a post in next....
I don't want to sound mean or preppy but I was just wondering...

I suppose it would be convenient, helpful, and polite, but not required. It would be better for you and the other members involved, I suppose, but nothing necessary for her roleplaying. Unless you previously planned out the roleplay, it shouldn't be much of a problem to respond too, either.
She read your roleplay, she was interested in the plot, and got involved. The only advice I can offer is to simply adapt, as you don't want to seem mean. Unlike Neopets, there is no rule or requirement, therefore no action I can deploy. You might consider messaging her for more information. Chances are, she didn't even think about it. She may not even have notice the option.
Now, as a moderator, I have read over most of your roleplay (Out of interest, really, though I do have an obligation to due so, just to monitor the context and check for explicit or under-level roleplaying.) I only saw one flaw that, if not previously notified, might have put me off slightly; that she automatically made herself a former friend of your character. Normally I would have been okay with it, just played along - unless I had been roleplaying with a character from our book. Then its just... not right. If this is what boggles you or this is the way you feel, confront her about it, see if you can work something out between the two of you. You can always make a modification to your posts.
Now, as for the person herself, of whom I know the identity, and who may also read this post, I in no way, shape or form mean to offend you. I’m here to help, that is all, and I sincerely apologize if I did so in any way. I know your new and stuff, just be patient. Things will work out for you.
I created an idea or two you could apply as means of reaction, something I would've done, just to help you out, maybe give you an idea...
A. Recognize her as a friend, make the member a friend, respond to her as you do the other roleplayers. Ask if she can aid your wounded characters, get herbs, water, where she was, what you fought, food, stuff like that.
B. (In the case that you have consulted her on the matter of immediate friendship)
Introduce yourself, ask if she can aid you, offer her dried fish (0.o,) make a fire, whatever. I know I don’t help much, but stuff.
C: Make your character mean... Conflict is fun, but never be mean to the member herself. Maybe you can have characters with a heated past, then have a duel, then all of a sudden, out of the blue this new monster can appear, then you can fight him, maybe cool off, be friends... *shrug* Just think of something. Anything works. This is just cheesy stuff
Arwen, have anything to add, comments, corrections, scenarios?
