Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

I AM NEW.Ple

I AM NEW.

Please help me. I have many questions. I'm sure they get old when all the new CBers ask them over and over again, but I promise that I will catalog your answers in my heart and Microsoft word. Then when I am the metaphoricall gray-haired CBer, I promise to pass them on to new CBers.

1.  What is an AE? May I have one?

2. I am fairly certain CAPTCHA has something to do with the letters you type in to prove you're not a robot, but what is the significance of that? How does one use them?

3. Am I allowed to join a roleplay after they have already started the writing?

4. Are there etiquette rules I should know?

5. What is a good way to introduce myself?

6. Do threads eventually disappear?

7. CBers, introduce yourselves! I would love to meet you. 

8. I notice that Inkwell is mainly writing, as it was meant, but Chirp at Cricket is not only about the magazine. What do people normally post in each...category? What are those called?

Any answers and advice are much appreciated!  

 Welcome, Brown Bear!

1. Alter Ego ("other I"). You can create your own, a character to show a different side of your personality.

2. Just type the letters in. The selection is random.

 3. Usually not, but you could ask the person who created the thread.

4. Comments must be respectful and kind.

5. Just tell us a bit about yourself.

6. Threads remain forever, but sometimes they are hard to find because there are so many!

I'll let someone else answer the rest. It's late and there are other comments waiting to be reviewed and posted.

Hi, Brown Bear! I'm Moonight, formally known as *starts ticking them off on her fingers* CNN Reporter, Jack-a-Nat, and my real name: Natalie. I'm an elven dragon rider (on the CB) because I'm obsessed with the Inheritance Cycle series. I have three AEs: my purple dragon Jolie, an elf Clarabelle, and Theo.

I haven't read many of the comments on this thread, but I saw that someone linked the Ultimate Guide, so you are all good! 

 

Salutations,

Moonlight

Hi there, Brown Bear!!! I'm Arwen, and I'm fairly new, too! Well, I started early 2016. So not that new, but on a veteran CBer. Have you been to Kyngdom? That's where I started. 

She started as- *clamps hand over Erali's mouth*

That is something you don't need to know. I prefer to remain anonymous. Oh, and that was Erali. (Air-uh-lee) She can be annoying.

Hello, Moonlight! Hello, Arwen!

I'm interested in the Kyngdom but I think I'll wait until I feel ready. You'll probably see me there eventually. I'm excited to get to know you guys!! But I realized I haven't done a great job of introducing myself yet. Thus, here is a quick summary of me:

I am passionate about stories, poetry, and many other forms of art. I like to draw, but I wouldn't say I have a natural talent, and I only ever draw people because I think they're the most interesting organism on this planet. I'm a Mormon and I believe in Jesus Christ. I like eccentricities and I think it's good to be a little strange sometimes. I can be quiet and anxious in person, but when I'm comfortable I open up a LOT. And I love making new friends!

How was that?
