6. Are you vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free or other?
7. What is your favorite subject?
8. Has the CB changed since you joined?
9. Do you have just enough, too much, or too little to do?
10. Do you have just enough, too much, or too little free time?

1. How long have you been on the CB?: Uh, for some reason I thought I joined in 2018, but no, I actually joined in July 8th, 2019. But in four months, I will have officially been here for two years. Wow.
2: Have you ever had a name change?: Nope, always have been Dusk S.. Partly because it just sounds cool XD.
3: Would you consider yourself a newbie, middler, or old CBer?: Even though I haven't been here too long, there are soooo many new people that I now consider myself a middler.
4: What grade are you in?: I'm in 9th grade, although it's important to note that my mom started me on school a year early.
5: Are you in the states? If so, which one? If not, where?: I'm in the US. I'm in Georgia.
6: Are you vegan, vegitarian, gluten free, dairy free, or other?: Nope. Idk what the term is for a normal person who can eat anything, but I am that.
7: What is your favorite subject?: Either English or History.
8: Has the CB changed since you joined?: Yes. Definitely yes. XD
9: Do you have just enough, too much, or too little to do?: This question is very situational. But, I guess as a whole too little to do.
10: Do you have just enough, too much, or too little to do?: Also situational, but I guess too much.
11. Do you like reading and/or writing?: Most of the time, writers like to read. Still, yeah, I like to do both.
(March 14, 2021 - 8:45 am)
You're in Georgia too? I was wondering if anyone was. Yay! Another CBer's in the same state as me :D
(March 15, 2021 - 3:07 pm)
1. How long have been on the CB? Since August 5, 2015. Though I was on a bit before that, since my sister was active 2014-ish.
2. Have you ever had a name change? Nope! I did have a ~secret identity~ as Shhh... Not Telling, though. Around late 2018-early 2019, I believe.
3. Would you consider yourself a newbie, middler, or old CBer? Old. Definitely old.
4. What grade are you in? I'm a junior in high school, so 11th.
5. Are you in the states? If so, which one? If not, where? Yes! I live in Kansas.
6. Are you vegan, vegitarian, gluten free, dairy free or other? I am not. My mom is gluten-free, though.
7. What is your favorite subject? I think calculus, because of my teacher. I really liked taking Latin though. I'm also in a class called AP Seminar where I research one topic for a whole quarter and write a 2000 word research paper on it, and I enjoy that as well. It's stressful, but fun. I just finished a paper on vaccinations and I'm launching into one about gender equality in sports.
8. Has the CB changed since you joined? Oh for sure. A weird thing that I haven't seen since around 2014 or 2015 is people making welcome threads for new CBers. Like, if people noticed a new CBer, they'd make them a welcome thread. Nowadays, new CBers post their own welcome threads and introduce themselves, which does create significantly less chaos, gotta say.
9. Do you have just enough, too much, or too little to do? Too much! It's why I'm not around too much. I read things, but I don't post a ton.
10. Do you have just enough, too much, or too little free time? Too little!!
11. Do you like reading and/or writing? Yes, both! I read a lot of works by unpublished authors as well as a lot of YA and LGBTQ+ fiction. Nowadays I write mainly plays and short stories, but buried in the back pages of the Inkwell is my full-length fantasy novel, and more recently is my short stories thread.

Hi Starseeker and the rest of the CB community!
I am very new to CB, so I don't know a lot of stuff. I have a few questions, and I figured someone who has been on here since 2014-ish could help me out (or anyone, really)!
Question 1: What is the MCU? I saw it on the "This Month" page, and want to find out more about it!
Question 2: How do you create a new thread on the "This Month" page to introduce yourself?
Please also tell me any other pointers for navigating Chatterbox! I'm really excited to share my writing and be part of all of this!!!
