friendship books

Friendship books are currently all the rage on WoPDE, and someone suggested whether we could add them to WoP as a function

It could work like the Potions Book in the Potions Room. Any user can suggest an entry for another user, who can then accept or decline it (to prevent abuse). (Or even a completely different system! Perhaps a sort of ‘personal forum’ on the profile page?)

A friendship book page like this could include various details, for example:

Name, nickname, hobbies, likes/dislikes, photo, quote, wishes for you ...

But also a selection of questions to answer. Perhaps a maximum of 5–10 in addition to the points above? (fav. food, animal, subject, ... you in 10 years, ...) 🤔

This could strengthen the community's playful aspect and encourage social interaction by leading to more positive, constructive posts. You could include inside jokes and build a sense of togetherness. In difficult times, you could look back at these entries and perhaps find comfort in them. If you ever need to write a post about that person, this could serve as a starting point (icebreaker)

To prevent spam or inappropriate posts, there should be a moderation guideline, or the recipient has to accept the entry!) A friendship book like this could also be integrated well for events or challenges. Or you could award house points or XP for every entry submitted.

Overall, this could be a fun addition that users would welcome. 😊
