Make a Friend
Make a Friend (Get-To-Know-You) Thread!
Hey everyone! So a few months ago I made a "get-to-know-each-other" thread, and it was pretty successful! Basically, you fill out a form, and I partner you with 2 or 3 people, and you get to know each other! This is made in an effort for CBers to feel like they have friends on the CB and people they really know, so I'm renaming this "Make a Friend." Hopefully, you will find a new CBFF!
Here is the form:
CBer name and nickname if they have one or want to be called one:
Age (feel free to just give a basic outline if you're not comfortable specifying your exact one):
Gender/pronouns:
Writing, drawing, or writing and then illustrating?:
Favorite food or type of food:
Favorite hobbies:
Favorite book:
Favorite movie:
Favorite TV show:
Are there any CBers on this thread you know well? (If nobody has signed up yet, you can answer this later):
Do you feel like you have no idea who some CBers on this thread are and who are they? (Same for above):
That's it, take your time signing up, we'll start in a few weeks. Have fun!

It'ssssss timeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
*ahem*
The groups will be as follows. Each group just has a basic number, but you can change the name if you want.
Writing and Pangolin group 1
Tsuki and Rainbow! Group 2
Fairytales and Pancake Group 3
GoldenLionTamarin and Phoenix Tears Group 4
Joel and Milly Sunstar Group 5
Quill and Red Starlight group 6
Shining Star and Wildfire group 7
Princess Juniper, Jaybells, and Sterling Group 8
Just like last time, one group member will make a thread for the each group to talk with each other. Make sure your group member hasn't already created a thread. I'd recommend titling the thread @groupmember'sname so even if they forgot about this, it gets their attention.
If your group member is unresponsive, please let me know. I'll get you into another group. Also, if you haven't been put in a group, also tell me! I'm very sorry if that happens, I will put you in a group.
Check out your group member(s)' chart(s) and see if you have anything in common! Talk about whatever you want, but if you do have something in common, it might be fun to talk about that. Enjoy!
(November 14, 2021 - 8:08 am)
Thank you so much for doing this! It's going to be a lot of fun.

Hey Writing_in_the_Dark!
Would you like to create the thread, or should I? If you don't respond, I'll just create it! :)

Hey Cranberry! You signed up late, but if it's okay with you, Milly, and Joel, I think I'll put you in their group. Does that sound good?
(November 15, 2021 - 7:50 am)
That sounds great!
(November 16, 2021 - 10:23 am)
That's cool. My sister is a hufflepuff too. It's so annoying how people say it's the "weak" house. Any of the houses can be weak. TBH I'm weaker than my sister....

Shall I make the group, or you?
