Welcome to the "how to" guide for the forum

aka FAQs
Portfolio: aka where you toss all your work
- At the home screen scroll down to the forum section "Portfolio"
- Find the already created board with your name
EX: my portfolio is "Moonpath's Portfolio" - Message me with a description of your board
EX: my description is "A collection of Moonpath's solo writing and links to their other works around the site. This user is OPEN to comments on their work."
Please note: I will use this as a generic form for all descriptions until you PM me your description, BUT the "user is OPEN to comments" will be set to CLOSED unless you notify me via PM that you would like it OPEN - To post work in your portfolio click your portfolio and select the "New Thread" button to the left
Weekly Update
- The weekly prompt will be posted here, feel free to post your short reply from the MEETING in here; however if you have developed more writing (aka it's gotten long) post it in your portfolio
- Reply about the meeting; Did you enjoy the prompt? Did you enjoy someone's work especially?
- Let me know what you thought about the meeting organized wise. Good? Bad? People were too loud? I was too bossy? (etc.) I want to make Creative Writing fun for the people there! So give me some harsh critiques!
