The forums serve many purposes: to let Wrimos gather and talk to each other about writing, to discuss their novels and the noveling experience, to find Wrimos in their area via [[Regional Lounge|regional lounges]], and to procrastinate on reaching [[50,000 words]]. Many Wrimos may form new friendships with people in threads they frequent, and some forums, such as the [[Games, Diversions, and Other Exciting Forms of Procrastination|games]] and [[Role Playing and Communal Story Building|roleplaying forums]] are practically a culture unto themselves. | The forums serve many purposes: to let Wrimos gather and talk to each other about writing, to discuss their novels and the noveling experience, to find Wrimos in their area via [[Regional Lounge|regional lounges]], and to procrastinate on reaching [[50,000 words]].
