Extrinsic: I know your probably getting discouraged that no one is taking you up on your email buddy request, but 3FC's discourages posters from using their email addresses here. No one REALLY knows who anyone is here, if you think about it, and giving out your email address leaves you open to all sorts of spam and worse. Here is what Suzanne has written in the "buddy up" forum in regards to email addresses:

As a public forum, though, the info you post is visible to all lurkers, and not all may have your best interests at heart. Please use caution when sharing your personal information, including your email addresses or various messenger IDs. If you want to exchange contact info, we ask that you do it through the Private Message system, and not in your posts. If you've already included info and want to remove it, click the edit button on your posts and you can edit it out.
We want this to be a safe and successful experience for you all
I hope this might explain to you the resistance you are getting to your request. 3FC's is all about "groups". That's what we do here.
