Hey ScoutedWolfKnight! I haven’t red you in a while!!
This is prepping for the MCU(monthly check up. It’s like a newspaper)
If you want, you can read past MCUs, but usually, someone will volunteer to do one or two of those needed list above. Then the host for the MCU will take all of the ones posted here and make the monthly newspaper! Though, the suggestions are the MCU questions, which you fill out the form and answer some questions(joke of the month, an advice thing, LOTM location of the month(which is a contest) and I think that’s it. Hopefully that helped

@ScoutedWolfKnife, as Thalorwin said, the MCU is a monthly collection of interesting things – quotes, book recommendations/reviews, and CBers’ takes on different questions – which are contributed by different CBers and, in the beginning of each month, posted (generally with AE banter) by a host CBer.
Anyway, I can do monthly playlist and CB quotes! I’d also like to host, if no one else wants to

Hmm, suggestions for LMWAY and Advice column…
What about for LMWAY, what is your favorite part of CB besides the community? (since Valentine’s Day reunion is coming up)
And advice, since it’s Valentine’s Day, how do you show affection for your loved ones (friends, family, etc.)?@Amethyst, it would be nice if you could host! Also if you want to do CB quotes, then I could do Threads to Check and Book of the month.

Book of the Month – The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan (sorry I had to)
The third book in the Heroes of Olympus series, the sequel series to Percy Jackson and the Olympians. The seven of the prophecy – Percy, Annabeth, Frank, Hazel, Leo, Jason, and Piper – embark on a dangerous journey to Rome. This tale is filled with suspense, action, humor, and a bit of romance.Also for Important Dates, I would add to 2/17 – Lunar New Year!

Tysm for everything! And @Moon Wolf, I’m so sorry for taking CB quotes – I hadn’t seen that you were going to do them :[
Anyhow, here they are:
“i hadn’t realized it until recently when i was thinking about the CB, but the CB has been such an integral part of my life. it’s helped me realize things about myself, the world, and other people, and it’s helped me be more accepting of myself and others. it’s what motivated me to hone my talents and my pursue love of the arts (music, reading, art, and writing). i can hardly believe how much the CB has affected me (one thing i can say is that the CB has only influenced me in positive ways).
so thank you. thank you, admins (seriously, with how much you do for the CB, you should have a day dedicated to you all. actually, that reminds me to ask: are all of the original admins still here?), CBers, and the magazine itself. thank you so much for helping make me and so many other kindred spirits who we are. i truly appreciate everything you all have done for me and others. i truly believe that you all will always hold a special piece of my heart, and honestly? i don’t mind it at all.”

“I don’t wanna be a princess, or a prince, a merchant, an elf, a fairy….I wanna be a knight, a soldier, a teifling, a drider, a dragonborn….and…and and….It would probably get me killed *sigh*”
~Lonan
“Don’t throw chocolate cake and orange juice at me, but…
I miss zoodles. I don’t miss them being everywhere, but I do miss them.”~Lyric
“Libraries are an important and underutilized resource for obtaining physical media; they tend to carry music and movies in addition to books, as well as running programs for the community. Mine even offers free museum and activity passes to cardholders!”
~Zeta Lupi
