• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

What's on your mind?

But of course, we'd be happy to have you. I asked my Canadian buddy if the coupon was good in Canada. He said he isn't sure either. lol
LoL! It's ok. I've never done anything like this before. Should be interesting, and perhaps help me keep focused. :ebil:

it's loads of fun, especially the April and July ones, because they set up pages for the group to chat on to encourage and cheer each other on, or for help plotting, word sprints, or a distraction if you need one. lol

It's a great tool for that.

Now, to plot my story, or write a spooky cf tale..... Decisions, decisions.

One of my writing buddies once inserted our whole group into one of his nanows with the intention of killing them all off one by one. It was pretty hilarious.

Yea, I can see the humor in it if it's done with people who are used to writing/reading stuff. But in CF, it's more like "Hey, we met week ago and have chatted like 5 posts ever, now I'm going to write a story about somebody gutting you, isn't that fun!" - Not creepy at all :D

Last question! To be invited, should I join the website first? And should I also create a Tweet account? Oops.. that was two...

Yeah, man I know. Even if you're not doing the kill everyone off thing, it's still kinda awkward trying to write about CFers. I joined from September to January and the whole time I wanted to write into If CF was, but felt like I didn't know anyone well enough. It wasn't until after I came back in September that I finally gave it a shot. lol

Bahaha.

You don't need a twitter. The nanow site is all you need to join.

Oh, I thought I needed it if I ever had a question the website says to use a Twitter account. But if the site itself is all I need, ok!
Thanks a bunch!
Ah, I see. I've never used twitter, so I don't know. lol

Perhaps I'll just watch more Fairy Tail. Watched a bunch of episodes last night and I'm loving it.

The only thing about writing stories with 'CF'er's' is there are people who are left out, and then it appears like there's a clique here. I'm not a fan of cliques, and we should be mindful of that when making threads that include some but not everyone who posts in here. Juuust sayin. ;)

Yeah true it's awkward. I think bit of awkwardness is okay tho. It's too good thread to not to give it a try!

Something to consider, true. Altho, most of the times something that looks like a clique is a lot more random than it looks like. I can reveal the method for creating "the clique" with my last story, I scrolled back the thread to see who's posted in it, thought those people will most likely appreciate being in the story.

Yeah, totally thought of that too. Have you seen the "cast" on the if CF was a bad YA novel? I intend to include *everyone* at some point, but obviously not all in the same post. hehe

Indeed, indeed.

That's also a good technique.

It doesn't seem random, but ok. ;)

Okay, it's not random, maybe "inclusive" is better word because only thing they had to do was to post something in the thread to get on board. There were many people who I had never had conversation with.

I hope you noticed that you had a role in other one of my stories? Cast for that one was chosen with different method.

That could be. Honestly, I don't read those types of threads too often anymore, so I missed it. I will have to find it, and read it. :sunflower:
