Script Frenzy forums

The Script Frenzy forums are the main location of online activity for Script Frenzy writers. They arrived with the original Script Frenzy website in May 2007. They are similar to the NaNoWriMo forums in format and purpose with several notable exceptions. The Script Frenzy forums are generally quieter than the NaNoWriMo forums (even during April), and because of this users and moderators recognize more names and are less overwhelmed by the masses of writers posting at once. The post count of users is not displayed on the Script Frenzy forums, causing less competition for top posters. While the layout of individual forums is similar, the regional lounges are at the top of the forum instead of at the bottom.

Self Care Crawl

Welcome to the Self Care Crawl
Good day to you, wonderful writer! It's time to take a self care journey, get some writing done, and earn one of the NaNoWriMo badges all at once. 
Breathe
It's the perfect time to take sometime to yourself or to get together with friends and write. You find that writing fills you with a sense of calm and purpose. Do a 10 minute word war then calm your mind by taking 10 deep, slow breaths. 
Be Positive
The more you speak positive ideas to yourself, the more they seem to come true for you. Readtoday's daily affirmation from Louise Hay. Think about how you can apply it to you life. Maybe it inspires one of your characters, too. Count the words in the affirmation and write 20x that amount. 
Eat Right
Let's talk about some of the ways we can take care of ourselves during NaNoWriMo. What we put into our bodies fuels what we put out into the world. Do you feel like you've used your food as fuel and eaten healthily today? 
Absolutely: Write 100 words
Mostly: Write 200 words
Somewhat: Write 300 words
Not Today: Write 400 words
Stay Hydrated
Grab yourself an 8oz glass of water for this next challenge. Complete an 8 minute word war and finish the glass of water before time runs out. 
Rest Well
Sleep is one of the most important ways to stay healthy, alert, and creative. How many hours did you sleep last night?
8 or more: Write 200 words
7: Write 300 words
6: Write 400 words
5: Write 500 words
4 or less: Write 600 words
Smile
Just the act of smiling does wonders for our mood and who says writing can't be fun? Jump to a scene where something happy or good happens, do 10 minute word war and write it with a smile. Feel silly smiling at nothing? Great! Laughter is even better! 
Practice Good Posture
Slouching over a keyboard can really do a number to your back. Sit up straight and complete a three digit challenge with perfect posture. 
Stretch
Moving your body is essential to health and happiness. Time how long it takes you to write 300 words. Then, set a timer for the same amount of time and spend it doing gentle stretching. 
Keep Going
Finally, remember to keep rewarding yourself for those milestones, no matter how big or small. Sprint to the nearest thousand and enjoy the feeling of seeing those growing digits. 
Reward Yourself
Congratulations! You've completed the Self Care Crawl. Access your badges and award yourself the Writer Wellness Badge

Shoutout

A shoutout is a celebration of reaching a goal. This goal can be anything: word count, page count, donating, or even backing up your work. During NaNoWriMo and Script Frenzy, participants can post shoutouts to the appropriate shoutout forum to celebrate their accomplishments; they should refrain from posting shoutouts in other forums (such as Reaching 50,000).
Typical wordcount shoutouts include thousand-word increments (1,000; 15,000), daily goals (1,667 on day one, 38,341 on day 23) winning/completing the novel, including certain characters, or odd word count numbers (1674, palindromes, "higher than my zip code", "higher than my car's odometer") Participants are encouraged to post in the specific thread for these common increments, rather than starting a brand-new thread, but duplicates are not disallowed.
= Shoutouts Forum =
The Shoutouts forum was created in 2008 when shoutout threads overtook not one, but TWO forums, Reaching 50,000 and This is Going Better Than I'd Hoped. The Shoutouts forum has one hard-and-fast rule: Under no circumstances may anyone accuse another participant of cheating. Doing so is against the NaNoWriMo Codes of Conduct and is explicitly forbidden in a Sticky post: 
Do not. I repeat, DO NOT, under any circumstances, call anyone a cheater.
It doesn't matter if you believe them or not. This is a self challenge, on your honor. If someone's lying, it doesn't hurt you or diminish your accomplishment in any way. :)
If you can't believe someone's word count... don't worry about it. :)
Since the "no cheating accusations" rule is on the Codes of Conduct, it actually applies in every forum. Despite the occasional discouraging remark (often in regards to a large wordcount early on), the forum is largely a positive and encouraging place.
== Forum Description == 
"Hit 50k? 10k? 1,674? Want to send a shout-out to everyone who's been there too? This is the place to do it!" (2008-2014)
"Hit a milestone and have people you’d like to thank? Want to send a shoutout to everyone who’s been there too? Release your inner joy, and declare your victories to the world!" (2015)
== Topics and Threads ==
Various shoutouts, mainly to celebrate word count but also for things like donating, attending an event, and getting past a sticky plot point.

Sidekick

A sidekick is an imaginary friend that can be adopted when you write. Sidekicks work similarly to Adoptables, except that sidekicks do not necessarily appear in your novel, instead sit by your side while you write, much like an imaginary friend.
The exact origin of sidekicks is unknown. They appeared the form of Word Count Angels and Word Count Dragons in the Adoption Society forum as early as 2011, possibly earlier.
As of 2019, sidekicks have their own Sidekick Stable forum (er, stable).
==How Sidekicks Work==
Wrimo Saving Annabel wrote a quick Q&A on sidekicks in October 2018:
So how do Sidekicks work?
Sidekicks are like imaginary friends. They're our sidekicks when we write. NaNoWriMo Angels keep us from erasing words, Research Phoenixes help us with researching, etc.
Do you just say what one you want to adopt and that's that?
If the Sidekick isn't adopted and you want it, then, yes, you can ask to adopt it. If it has already been adopted or you just want to make a request, you can ask if someone has a Sidekick they're willing to give. Someone might give you one.
What do you do once you've adopted one?
Just imagine the Sidekick with you and have fun. If you don't want it anymore, you can give it back for adoption. I recommend making a new document just for your Sidekicks. Copy and paste what the Sidekick is and (after you adopted one) its description.
I'm using a Setting Seal from the Adopt a Setting Seal thread for example:
(What it is) Setting Seal
Do you have an idea for a story but having trouble with worldbuilding? Need help making settings for scenes or describing the place? Setting Seals could lend a hand- or a flipper.
(Its description) Harvey has fuzzy white fur with multi-colored tiny spots all over him like paint splattered from a brush. His eyes are blue, and his height is about knee-length. He loves chocolate, friendly, and is curious. Harvey doesn't have any preference for genres.

Sidekick Stable

The Sidekick Stable is a NaNoWriMo forum for the assorted sidekicks that Wrimos create. The forum was created in September 2019 and lives in the Diversions & Procrastination forum. Before 2019, sidekick threads lived in the Games, Diversions, and Other Exciting Forms of Procrastination forum with [Sidekick] in the subject.
==Forum Description==
Sidekicks are your fun word count helpers, sitting by your side and demanding to be fed words. Come here to find yours today! (September 2019-present)

Signature

A signature is a bit of customizable text and images that appears at the bottom of each poster's forum post. The feature is not unique to NaNoWriMo.
In pre-Discourse NaNoWriMo (and the former Script Frenzy forums), participants had a signature space that followed their forum posts. Every user chose to use that space in a different way. Some users liked to create a banner illustrating the work they plan to write in the upcoming month. Others used the space to link to their blog, Twitter account, or website. Still others liked to list titles of past works or use the spot for a quote.
The signature feature in the forum was known for being nonfunctional in past years, and several users created threads in the Tech Help forum mentioning this. When signatures were nonfunctional, as they were during the 2011 NaNo season, they were among the most requested features. When signatures did work, they were not immune to future breaking. Test posts to see if your signature works were not necessary, as you could visit any past forum post and view your signature there.
Before NaNoWriMo's switch To Ruby on Rails in 2011, the NaNoWriMo and Script Frenzy signatures were linked, so changing one signature would change both of them if a user participated in both events. There were no signatures during NaNo 2011. In Script Frenzy 2012, the two signatures were separate.
Signatures were removed when the forums moved to Discourse in 2019, as Discourse does not support signatures.
==Signature guidelines and tips==
Signature images in the NaNoWriMo forums must be no larger than 500 pixels wide by 100 pixels high . A moderator will remind a user whose signature image is too big to fix or remove it before removing it themselves. Signatures also must not contain profanity or sexual content.
Users who want an image in their signature but can't make one themselves can head to the NaNo Artisans forum and request a signature banner. Someone may be kind enough to make one. Users can also search for signature banner generators online and find one that appeals to them.
The Word Count Widgets designed by the NaNoWriMo tech team are not to be used in signatures, as doing so would cause unneeded stress on the NaNo servers.
Text in signatures must not exceed 300 characters. This includes any HTML.
