NaNo?
NaNo?
I hear a lot about NaNo around here and I have some questions about it. I'm semi-interested in joining but I want to know more first. Hopefully at least some of you can help me!
~ Are there people who review the posts on NaNo? (Kind of like the Admins on Chatterbox.)
~ Must I be writing a novel to join and participate?
~ What's the online personal privacy like?
~ From what I've heard NaNo is a lot like Chatterbox. Am I correct about that? Are there any big differences from Chatterbox?
~ How do I join?
I might possibly be back with more questions once this is posted. I always seem to think up more questions later. At random times and when I can't ask them right away, very inconvenient!

I had a lot of the same questions before I joined! Let's see how many I can answer...
~ Are there people who review the posts on NaNo? (Kind of like the Admins on Chatterbox.)
No there are not, but our classroom is just for CBers, so it doesn't generally get impolite or anything.
~ Must I be writing a novel to join and participate?
Nope! I'm not :)
~ What's the online personal privacy like?
I'm not postitive what you mean by that, but I would say the site itself is pretty good as far as privacy goes.
~ From what I've heard NaNo is a lot like Chatterbox. Am I correct about that? Are there any big differences from Chatterbox?
It is similar, but not the same. For instance, there are no threads, just different places to chat. And it's instant because things don't go through Admins. Also, there are private chats.
~ How do I join?
Go to ywp.nanowrimo.org and create an account. Once you have, on your main page there should be a classrooms heading, where you can click "Join a New Classroom" or something like that. You enter this code: RGLCGPPK
I'd love to see you there! :D

What is that code for? could I join?
(November 3, 2020 - 10:34 am)
The code is to join the CB classroom. It's a place to chat for CBers specifically.
Yes, you can join! Anyone can!

I was going to answer this, but Starchaser got literally everything. EVERYTHING.

Why, thank you! :D

One other thing to add: there are two ways to chat with people on NaNo-- the CB classroom (which is unmoderated, but only contains people from the CB, and is generally pretty good at monitoring itself) and the forums (which you can only access if you're 13 or older, and which aren't moderated as strictly as the CB, but which has moderators who will remove inappopriate posts if they're reported). Generally, when we talk about NaNo, we're talking about the classroom, but the forums are there too.

Thank you so much for answering my questions, Starchaser and Kitten! Thank you to Moondrop for going to answer my questions, though Starchaser beat you to it! Your answers were really helpful and helped me understand NaNo better. I looked at the website and it answered all the questions I came up with later. I'm asking my parents if I can join, hopefully I can. Thanks again!

Sounds interesting! I probably won't join now but I'll think about it.

Hiiii! I just joined NaNoWriMo, using the CB code. My user is _Honeybee_
I was a little confused about what it was but this helped me, thanks!
(October 30, 2020 - 11:54 pm)
Yay! I just joined!

So is NaNoWriMo where you share your story and ask 4 advice?
