Make a Friend

Make a Friend

A few years ago, I came up with the idea for Make a Friend (which was originally called "Get to Know Each Other," actually), and a lot of people liked it and we've had many Make a Friends since then. So here's one for December - start the year off with a new friend!

Fill out this form, please:

CBer Name:

Pronouns:

Age (optional): 

Hobbies: 

Favorite book/book series:

Favorite TV show/movie (skip if you're not into TV and movies):

Taste in music:

Favorite color:

Now, a lot of times people turn in their forms after the due date. I'm sorry, but I can only put you in a group if you're on time. If you're late, though, you can join a group with other latecomers or ask others if you can join their group! I'm giving you all until Sunday, December 10 to turn in your forms.

Here are the groups I came up with!

Bushy Tail and Amethyst are the Sunset Group!

Hawkstar, Rainbow, Thunder, and Wafflecat are the Northern Lights Group!

pangolin, Moon Wolf, and WiLdSoNg are the Silver Moon Group!

Celine and BookGirl are the Library Group!

WildWolf and Sine are the Music-Maker Group!

Lupine and Poinsettia are the Deep Sea Group! 

If you weren't paired with someone you thought you'd enjoy talking to, I think it's okay to ask to join their group, but you have to stay active on the group you were given as well because it wouldn't be fair. You can change your group name if you want to! You might want to @ someone in your threads because they could have forgotten. If you're in a group of two and the person you were assigned to hasn't responded in a week, let me know and I'll put you in a new group! If you're in a group of more than two and nobody responds, do the same. If at least one person responds, though, you should be okay!

Let me know if there's any questions/problems! Have fun!
