Chatterbox: In This Month's Issue
We need YOU
We need YOU to respond to these prompts!
(I need one of those Uncle Sam posters that were put out in the war to encourage people to enlist; except this one would say the above).
LMWAY (Last Month We Asked You), by Majestic Mary:
It's the last full month of school for most people, and we're just trying to get through... What are some ways to stay motivated through the end of the school year?
Location of the Month (organized by Twilight): [To be filled out by you!]
Advice Column, by Princess Juniper:
What is the best way to tell an AE they that they are going up for adoption?
All the prompts are for the coming May edition of the MCU. Responses made after April 29 will not be included as we need time to paste and interject.
You do not need to respond to any or all of these prompts, but we would greatly appreciate it if you would at least respond to one! We all look forward to seeing your responses.

LMWAY: Well, for those of you who are back in school part or full time now, just remember how it was when we were all virtual. That's what's been getting me to the weekend, and I'm just existing week by week. For those of you who are still virtual, be glad you get to sit on your bed during school.
Locationof the Month: Basking in the sun

That's the best thing to happen to the MCU

Ha, Ha! Thanks Mary! I've copy and pasted it to the front of my MCU planning document.

LMWAY:
At the beginning of each week, calculate the number of hours of school in that week. Then, keep yourself going by waiting for fun little landmarks in the percentage of school time that week that has passed. For example, if you will have 35 hours of school that week, you can start by waiting 1.75 hours which wll be 5%.

CBer awards!
Awesome new solo write: Jemma W!
You started with a premise that has been used by many CBers, then added a twist! We can wait to see where this is going and how you'll combine some many fandoms!
Fun new writing contest creator(s): Morning (& Wreeboo)!
Morning, your ten words writing contest sounds like a classic CB activity with a slightly chaotic twist! Wreeboo, your writing / art contest is a welcome reboot of an awesome thread! Wreeboo's thread wasn't created this month but I want to give it a shout-out.
Incredible team of dedicated people: the MCU team!
It's so awesome to see how many of us are bound and determined to continue this CB tradition. I'm proud of us for pulling through and assembling a team of great CBers wanting to create something in honor of someone else. Give yourselves a pat on the back, lovelies! <3
LMWAY: Hmm... I'm not the best to give advice as an 8th grader who isn't very motivated. I get by through ignoring my classmates and looking to the end of the year as a goal, not an excuse.
Location: Covid safe graduation party!
Advice Column: Do it in a way that appeals to their personality. Reemember to reassure them that this isn't the end of anything, it's just the start of something new.
Boo says "wayvz". sounds like he's excited for a beach vacation!

Okay, Peregrine, could you please paste everything together? Thanks! Then we'll need whomever the host is (did we decide that?) to add interjections and such.

I've started pasting things together! I still need to hear from Twilight about their top three Location of the Month favorites, and from Lupine with their country section. ~ Peregrine
(April 29, 2021 - 9:23 am)
You can just paste this into the main thing.
LOCATION OF THE MONTH
Third Place: waiting for summer break/counting down the days until summer
Why: My school just went full in-person and I'm already burned out and I am definitely doing this
Second Place: a field of flowers
Why: I love this vibe
First Place: the garden
Why: Gardens are classic spring, and most get planted in May (I think, I'm terrible at gardening)
(April 29, 2021 - 2:59 pm)
Do you want to haev your country section in May's MCU? I'm pasting things together and don't want to miss it! If you don't have time to do it for the coming MCU you can always opt to do it for next months.
