Community Note (cNote)
Icon: Upgraded Membership (Small) Community Notes (cNotes) are virtual greeting cards that members can send to one another within Writing.Com.

They are created by Upgraded members and organized into themed collections. Other members can browse these collections and send a cNote directly through the site.

cNotes are delivered instantly to a member’s Writing.Com email, making them a quick and easy way to show appreciation, celebrate milestones, or brighten someone’s day.

Sending a cNote

To send a cNote:
• Browse available cNote collections
• Choose a card that fits the occasion
• Send it directly to another member

You can find cNotes by selecting Browse by Type and choosing Community Notes, or by searching with keywords.

Gift Points

Sending a cNote requires Gift Points.
• A base fee of 250 Gift Points is charged per card sent
• cNote creators may add their own fee or offer cards for free

The total cost is automatically deducted when you send a cNote.

Creating cNotes

Members with an Upgraded membership or higher can create their own cNote collections.
