Chatterbox: In This Month's Issue

CB Egg Hunt!

So there’s been egg hunts on the CB in the past, but I haven’t seen any recently, so I thought I’d revive this fun idea :D

For those of you who haven’t participated in a CB egg hunt before and don’t know what it is — basically, the host (me) will post “eggs” on random threads. The format will go something like this: “Congratulations! You have found the XXX egg! Post
“XYZ” on the Egg Hunt thread to get a point!” And then you will post XYZ on the Egg Hunt thread (this thread) to get a point. Points can be used in the store (see bottom of the post)

Rules:

1. Remember, eggs can be on any thread in the CB! (I mean, I’m obviously not going to post an egg on a solo write from January 26th, 2018 that’s on page 90 of Inkwell...or will I?...but you get the idea) 

2. Please, please don’t just cheat and post what other people are posting on this threat and not find the eggs yourself. I know I can’t stop you, but please be honest and play fair — it’s much more fun for everyone that way. 

3. The deadline for finding eggs is April 30th. You must submit all comments before then for your points to be counted. *Note: comments must be submitted by then, they don’t necessarily have to appear. Also, purchases from the store can still be made after the deadline! :D

4. If you purchase something from the store, be patient! I’m only one person, and I likely have a lot of purchases to get through, plus my own life. Drawn picturings and playlists will probably take 1-3 days, and written stuff will likely take up to 4-5 days, or more if I’m busy. 

5. Feel free to guess me (I’ll reveal myself after the deadline)

6. have fun :D 

~STORE~

Two points — Playlist/Song Recommendations (Basic – 4 songs)

Four points — Playlist/Song Recommendations (Deluxe – 10 songs)

Six points — Sketched Picturing

Eight points — Inked Picturing

Ten points — Written Picturing

Twelve Points — Full Color Picturing

Twenty points — Short Story (probably more like flash fiction in length): you give me the prompt and I’ll write a short story based on that. 

(Please note that THIS thread is only for claiming points and announcements related to the egg hunt, not for actually purchasing things from the store. I'll post the official store where you can actually buy things in a separate thread soon)

Oooooh! A hunt! I was scrolling through the regular poetry thread and saw the poetry egg and didn't even realize what that was for... I really need to drop around TM sometimes.

You found the Poetry Egg -- Congrats!

to you I shall tip my hat!

To claim another point for your score,

post a rhyme bragging that of eggs you found one more

and we'll see what the other competitors think of that!

Haha. And it is rather entertaning to see me being considered as The Egghead. I'm not really good at guessing these aliases (I think that's how you spell that?), so-

Maybe you are Phoenix? Idk.

Hmm, snake species? Let's do an odd one. How about the green tree snake? I bet no one has said that one :3

It's called the April Fools Egg... that doesn't help much. I could give you a hint, if you wanted :)

What can I say? I'm in a bad mood right now. But at least I found an egg, so that made me slightly happier.
