i just know the one guy…
the example he gave was a roommate wanted for a tweaker house…
no sleep except wednesdays, mandatory sleep on wednesdays…
it was pretty funny.
only one person responded and he asked the guy if he wanted to collaborate on writing…

so not really catfishing but im sure people do that too…

it’s one good way for writers to practice and get genuine feedback…

i do know a guy in portland who writes fake craigslist posts for fun…
