In honor of Writing.Com's 21-year birthday, we are hosting a week-long schedule of festive events celebrating this momentous occasion! Besides the massive amount of Gift Points we will be giving away (did we mention millions?), there are brand new contests, activities and much more going on for the first seven days in September. Make sure you log in every day and add this item to your favorites so that you don't miss a single thing! TODAY IS OUR FIRST DAY! We are so happy to kick off our 21st celebration with a few little "extras" for the community each day! Today, you'll be happy to know that REACTIONS have been updated to be easier to use AND forum posts now have reactions instead of just likes We have also added the CARE reaction for those times when you just need to send a little support to your friends. Newsfeed and post REACTIONS now include: (NOTE: We understand there are some reactions you might want, but space is limited, so we are really choosy with our reactions.) NEW EMOTICONS We also are excited to release brand new emoticons for everyone to use!
