Welcome to our bi-monthly CHIRPER post!

There are a few ways to interact with CHIRPER:
  • Characters receive a notification to please fill out the form, which is fully optional. There is a character requirement of two characters per answer field. This is to discourage leaving the spaces blank.
  • When forms are not filled out, they can be filled out by the companion bots of Etraya!
  • Other characters can be prompted to fill out their friends' profiles for them. This includes the Q&A section!
  • Alternatively, they choose not to fill out the form, and it remains unfilled! These unfilled profiles will not be posted live.
  • Characters either like or dislike others CHIRPER profiles. These responses are private between the characters involved.

For those who do post a top level, CHIRPER toplevels are worth five extra points regardless of if they are put up willingly by the character themselves. These five extra points do apply to the 25 maximum per month.

Please feel free to switch out any of the Q&A questions with those listed here! We have an example of a filled out form here.

That is a quite a worthwhile endeavor.

Have you decided on any other subjects you'd like to study in that same vein?

just trying to be a better person everyday you know?

and yeah actually I have a list. so I'm reading the old classics you know, really get a handle on english and literature, but I've also been looking at a lot of books regarding psychology. understanding people and their motivations you know? my dad was a writer and he kinda touched on that a bit.

That's wonderful.

Are there any classics you've enjoyed, or might be looking forward to getting a crack at in the future?

I can't say I'm looking forward to anything too crazy, but I've been reading things like pride and prejudice you know? this one guy whose helping me study told me I should look into james joyce but uh...

James Joyce has a wonderful assortment of options you can pick from, without having to go too far into his embedded literary criticism early on. Which book did you try? Ullysses?


[ She's also wonder just who the person recommending was.
Whether it was Harold or another person. ]

Mr. Finch has good taste.



If you still want Joyce, I like Dubliners better. It's more the plight of the everyday man of it's time and place, and now so up at the top of his register & being compounded by several aims in the work.

What sorts of things did Mr. Finch recommend?
