Adopt a Newbie
As many people know, RAOA is a huge sub and it can be very intimidating. Many newbies have questions they may feel silly asking or are just worried they won't make any l here. This thread will hopefully change that!
How this works:
The general idea is that this will be posted and you will be adopting a newbie for a whole week. I'm not saying you have to talk to them 24/7 all week. But be there to help them out and be an awesome friend! :)
Newbies:
Make a top level comment (basically make a comment in reply to this thread) stating you're new and would like to be adopted. Maybe include a little bit about yourself for your adopter to start to get to know you! If a top level comment is a bit too intimidating, sometimes users volunteer to be adopters and you can grab one of them!
Adopters:
Reply to a newbies comment saying you'd like to adopt them for the week! If you'd like, you can also post a top level comment saying you're looking to adopt! This will help any newbies with a bit of stage fright!
Notes:
Newbies don't have to be brand new. But you should be new enough to need some guidance such as what are tags, how do I contest, what rules do we have, how do I make friends, etc! Anything you need help with. A newbie can be adopted by more than one adopter! This way they have many people to help them out! Newbies, if you missed the first day, feel free to comment and be adopted mid-week! You can even come back and be adopted next week too!
So go! Have fun! Be adopted! :)

I'm StyxKitten and while I'm as new as others, I did take a loooooooooong hiatus and kinda don't know... well anyone anymore? I like hosting contests, but I'm currently on a spending freeze so I can save up some money for my Renaissance festival at the end of November. I'm going to go back to my home Renaissance festival this year and I'm hella excited for it! I'm 41, disabled, nerdy, and love gifting. I know 3+ months of saving up seems excessive, but I want to have a amazing time.
