Finding Your Crew

Finding Your Crew (formerly Writing Groups and Clubs until September 2019) is the name of one of the forums . It was founded in 2004 as a place for Wrimos to connect with other participants who share something in common besides geographic proximity, genre, or age.

Finding Your Crew contains eight subforums: Teens, 20s, 30s & 40s, 50s+, LGBT+, Mess Hall, University, and Pillow Fort. During the non-Camp NaNoWriMo season, the Writing Groups, Assemble! forum is also located here as a subforum. Before September 2019, Finding Your Crew was a forum in the forum category NaNo Groups.

Topics in this forum are as varied as the participants. There are threads for religious practices, hobbies, food preferences (including coffee and tea), and many more.

Wrimos wishing to connect with others based on geographic proximity, age, or genre should check out the respective forums for these topics.
