Well, November is over. I had a busy month, writing over 62,000 words in less than 30 days. If you want to read the *finished* first draft, you may here: Charlie’s Place.

Well, now, you may be saying to yourself, well, this is all fine and dandy, but now that November is over, I want more from CrushedMuffin.com. How can I get more from this website?

Here’s how: You participate. You help me make the website. That’s right, I am asking you, the casual web surfer, to help me make my website.

But Christy, how do I get involved?

Glad you asked.

In almost every section of my website, there is room for participation. I’ll just run down the list of pages (you will also find these to you left) and let you know how YOU can get involved.

MAIN PAGE: Now that NaNo WriMo is over, I’ve gone back to my old page design and color scheme. Please go take a look at the NaNo color scheme, and e-mail me: Which do you like better, the maroon or the blue? I can’t decide. Oh, and when I have opinion articles on the main page, I welcome alternate viewpoints, and if any are sent, I’ll consider posting them in conjunction with my own.

BIO (*no longer a feature of this site):  As well as a place where you can find out more about me, I am taking contributions from people who know me. I’ll be adding your comments and integrating it in my BIO. The first entry will be up soon, thanks Crisitn.

FRIENDS(*no longer a feature of this site): This is a place where you can get to know my friends. I am in the process of sending out surveys to my friends far and wide. If you would like a survey, let me know, and I’ll send you one. If you have sent me a survey, I’ll try to get a picture up soon, or if you have a picture you’d like to depict you, send it to me.

WRITINGS: Well, this is just my writings. Go, read little bits of my soul. If you have any comments on my writings, you can certainly let me know!

NANO WRIMO (*no longer a feature of this site):This page contains the story I wrote for National Novel Writing Month. It will be posted until December 21, 2002. I am asking for comments, edits, questions and criticisms. The rules for these are on that page as well.

ANIME: Okay, again, mostly a page of my opinions of Anime I’ve seen, but if you want, I am always taking suggestions of new Anime I should check out. I may be adding a guest review section in the future. We’ll see.

GAMING AD&D: This is a world of role-playing. I have posted different characters, and coming soon will be campaign summaries and quotes. If you have a character that has played with any of mine, Seyla is eager to gather stories from their campaigns, and them personally, for her library. Let’s not disappoint the witch in her endeavor, especially considering who she married…… (seems like everyone met everyone at that wedding, huh?)

NEVER-ENDING STORIES: The best place for you to get involved. This is a page of stories that I or my friends have started. It’s kind of like story tag. Feel free to read, and write, on these stories. WE NEED MORE AUTHORS ON THIS PAGE. Please sign up and have fun with this page!

MINOR DIVERSIONS:(*no longer a feature of this site) Little games to keep you amused if you get bored with the internet (heaven forbid). If you have any games, let me know, and I’ll add them. Chit and Chat will appreciate it!

RECIPES: A list of recipes I’ve collected. I’m looking for more. Send me your favorite recipe. I’m trying to cook more. Or, just take a recipe for your own use.

ARCHIVES(*no longer a feature of this site, see Rants and Updatesinstead): This is where you can go to see past updates (right side column) and past journal entries (such as this one). Not much viewer participation, but you can get my opinions on various topics. Plus, you can find out why this page is named like it is.

LINKS: Links to places I go on the web. If you have a webpage you want me to link to, send me the link, and I’ll see about putting it on my page.

CREDITS(*no longer a feature of this site): You can go here to see who has helped me with this site, and how they contributed.

GUESTBOOK: Go sign it. What more can I say, I want to know that people actually visit my site.

E-MAIL ME: Pretty self explanatory, huh. This is if you want to contact me.
