  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I'm a Newbie!

Hi, I'm new here. I found this place by searching on the HotBot Search Engine under. I think I searched for Christian Creative Writing Forums, or something like that.

My name's Shawn, I'm 17, and I've loved to write since I was a little kid. Just recently my mom found some of my earlier works, so I'm working on refurbishing those to make them up-to-date. Doing quite well, actually :)

I wanted to find a Christian Creative Writing Forum because I'm interested in joining a course online to help me with my writing techniques (You can check it out at writingclasses.com). I'm taking the teen course this October. They said that writers should be around writers, so that's why I'm searching.

I write all different types of things. Some are meant for cartoons (in one series I'm on the 56th episode), some are meant for books, movies, and even plays. I work more on the cartoons and books though.

All of the things that I write are fiction. They range from real-life to science-fiction, dealing with aliens and stuff. I've read a few posts here and saw the term "fantasy." I'm wondering, what is "fantasy" exactly?

Also, what is "blessings" underneath my name? I, at first, thought it was my posts, but "posts" are lower, therefore, I don't know what it is.

Well, I'll check back later on, but right now I'm leavin'. Talk to ya guys later!

hi! welcome to cf! i'm glad you've joined. i've moved your post to the new member introduction (from creative writing) so you'll meet more people. :) you can find out more about blessings here http://www.christianforums.com/faq.php?faq=vb_user_maintain#faq_blessings

fantasy is basically a made-up world. it ranges from just people, to made-up creatures and monsters. that's the best description i can come up with. if someone else has a better description feel free to share it. :)
