ᴀᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴏᴠɪᴇs       “And then they went boom, then there was the pow and oh my god, the *inserts                       explosion noise*!  It was great, wasn’t it?”       “I wouldn’t have come if I knew it was a romantic comedy.”       “I’m not crying, I’m cleaning my tear ducts.”       “Stop throwing popcorn at the screen! We’ll get kicked out!”       “Ugh, these subtitles are so wrong.          Never bring me to a movie where I understand the language.”

wait so if i join this collective, I can't join anywhere else? for example, elegentia?

( If you were to read through the protocol here,  you’ll see that there’s all the answers you need. )

     Hello there!

     If you join this collective you can’t be part of any other collectives. Elegentia establishes themselves as a society, so you would be able to join while still being a member here. Just remember that we both carry out prompts, I believe theirs are weekly, here it’s monthly. So, if you think you can keep up with everything, then you’re more than welcome to join!

     Happy writing!
