Poll - (S)pacing the CbC discussions - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Azaelia of Willowbottom · 05-25-2005, 06:54 PM

I voted to slow them down to one discussion every two weeks. I sort of stopped participating, which I feel kind of sad about. I am at a point in the school year where all these projects are heaped on all at once, so I am not able to be online for leisure time as much as I would like. I loved, loved, loved the CbC discussions while I was posting on them. I definitely learned a lot...and if the extra time happened between threads, I would have a better chance of making it online and finding the time to make as long a post as I would like to. I'm really looking forward to life calming down a little bit so that I can participate again!

I've been glad to see some posting on the CbC forum, catching up on older threads. Now, are you all ready for the begin of RotK, or should I wait yet another week to start the new discussion?

I think we should start on Monday, before we forget what the story's about....

I'll second that, I'm itching to get started again. The next chapter has a lot of interesting things in it, it's bank holiday so I'll have time to read, and if we stick to that pattern then I won't miss the start of a chapter due to being on holiday.

Looks like meat is back on the menu - oops, I mean, the new chapter discussion is up. Since the only two votes about the time to start coincided nicely with what I wanted to do anyway (

) I decided to go ahead. Please join in - you don't have to wait until you've caught up with all of the previous discussions. This is not homework nor required reading - it's meant to be enjoyable!

I'm someone who likes to read them. It would be easier to keep up if it was every two weeks.
