CBer questions thread!
I don't think anyone has already made one of these (Im sorry if i'm wrong!) but this is a CBer questions thread. Basically, you ask questions of CBers you've always wanted answered. Here are a few of mine:
Nianad, where did your name come from?
Esquire of Rohan, where did your name come from and is Hawkeye any good at Xbox? (your location always says you're playing Xbox with Hawkeye)
Mei-xue, where did your name come from? (most of these, yes, will be about their names)
Autumn Artist, do you like art or was it just a pretty name? And is Autumn your favorite season?
Embers in the Ashes, was that just a pretty name to you or are you named after the book (An Ember in the Ashes)?
Everyone: what's the age range on the CB? I've seen people as young as 8 and as old as 16. Has anyone seen anyone older or younger?
Have fun! Even if I didn't ask you a question, you can ask someone else a question.

@Starseeker,
Yes, I am good at art, especially photography and drawing with colored pencils. It's a tie between Autumn and Spring as my favorite season, but it sounds better with Autumn because it's two As. (Autumn, and Artist)

Thanks for asking Seeker! (Could I call you that?) I got my name from LotR (Lord of the Rings). My friends say I am Merry so one of his titles is Esquire of Rohan. Also, I just like LotR!
To answer the other question... he's ok. *gets jabbed in the ribs by Hawkeye* He's horrible actually! *gets jabbed harder* Ok, ok! He's good at some games. Definitely not all though!

Cool, thanks Admins! I thought so, administrating is such a big job that requires alot of effort and care.

@Star, BHR's 18!
(April 20, 2017 - 10:05 pm)
I'm now 19/20, though I think my age range is kinda uncommon on here. The last person I remember on here who stayed into her late teens/early adulthood was TNO, but I haven't heard from her in a very long time.
(April 21, 2017 - 1:11 am)
Wow! I thought you were like 13 or 14. You're awsome! Keep it up!
(April 21, 2017 - 9:42 am)
Hah, sorry, I thought you were still 18. *bangs head on desk*

I don't think that there is an age range. There might be a minimum age, but not a max.
Cricket magazine has quite a lot of adult subscribers.

I remember at times there have been old people, like old people in the Letterbox. Like Dee Alter W. (I was about to write her full name but then I remembered that the Admins don't allow it.) I think she is (or was) 60? 70? I think she was published more than once.
Yes, I remember Dee well. She sent some very interesting letters. We haven't heard from her in over a year. I believe that a good story is universal, timeless, and meaningful to all ages.

@Blonde Heroines Rule:
that's really cool! How long have you been on the CB?
@LilyPad:
Well, what day are we talking about? Living in Kansas is... interesting. One day, it could be snowing, and the next, 80 degrees! Yesterday was really warm, 80 or 90 degrees, but today is about 50. That's Kansas for you! And, by the way, whoever thinks Kansas is flat does NOT live where I live.

@ Booksy Owly: Oh don't worry it's okay! I never actually said my age change so no worries.
@ Satin: Nope, much older than that, though I wish I was still only 13 or 14. That's about the age I was when I started here.
@ Starseeker: I've been here for about... gosh five? six? years now. I forget exactly. I never made an introduction thread so it's hard to tell.

Wow, I'm flattered! My name comes from my OC character, Nianad, who's an Elf, who maybe has *cough* royal connections *cough* and is one of the main characters in the book I started in NaNoWriMo last fall. (Well, technically, I met my word goal... but the book wasn't done. And it STILL isn't edited... I need to get on that.)
She's also the character who looks most like me (although my hair is not yet waist-length. I'm thinking about growing it out, though...) I know it's a pretty odd name, but, then again, it is an OC name from a fantasy novel...
I came onto this expecting to see lots of people talking to other people, and I would be an observer, as always, not a doer...
But instead, you asked me where my name came from!
(Okay, it IS a pretty weird name. They get weirder.) Morgneth, my AE, is also an (though evil) OC of mine, who is the cousin of Nianad and tries to kill her multiple times. ALSO a weird name! I would like to say I got it from the Elf Name Generator (of Sindarin Elf Names, which I call True-Elvish names in the book), but I looked, and even though, yes, the suffix -neth is used to describe a teenage elf girl, there is no prefix morg-. Mor- yes. Morg- no. I mean, that's Morgwend, but that's not Morgneth's name, and now that name has stuck, however incorrect it may be.
(Also, I have no idea where 'Nianad' came from, other than my brain. As a name for a character, it just popped into my head. Perhaps I was reading something about Elves or naiads [since Nianad ALWAYS autocorrects to 'naiad' or 'naiads'... WHY...] before I wrote it? I really don't know.) I might eventually change it, to be something more... original and less connected with my OC, but now I'm used to wearing my OCs name, I have gotten used to being referred to by my OC's name.
(AlthoSugh it DOES make it odd whenever I am writing a scene and it includes Nianad. Now whenever I see the name Nianad I think of the CB.)
And, once again, thank you for including me! I will do some 'Ask CBers Questions' later...
-Nianad
