omg i love the warblers so much!!!!!
Congratulations on completing the challenge, Bay!
Enjoy your new-ish emblem.
Here's what I'm thinking: we can have four challenges in total every year. One every three months. One Reviewing Challenge, one general writing challenge, one prompted writing challenge, and we can either double up a challenge (rotating every year which one we rotate) or maybe someone has a fourth idea. The Reviewing Challenge is awesome and fun, but maybe it would help if it wasn't that same challenge every time. Sometimes, you just feel like having a writing challenge or whatever.
Let me explain the writing challenge a bit. Specifically, the general one.
During sign-ups, each potential challenger can post
with their own goal. For example, I personally can't write a chapter in a week because of lack of time and how often I switch fics/fandoms. So when I sign up for the challenge, I would say that I would have one chapter and three one-shots completed/edited/typed/whatever. Misheard Whisper, on the other hand, could say that his goal is one chapter a night (you crazy diamond you). Then we all have a month to work on our goal.
The fun part of this is that maybe once a week, I can post in the thread with a "check-in" post, so we can all discuss what we're working on and how things are going. One of the reasons why I want to add that is because I'm always interested in learning how my fellow authors work. Another reason is so that we can maybe bring back the casual attitude of the old FFL have some fun.
How many times can I say "fun" in this post?
As for the prompt challenge, it would be the same thing, but the response to the prompt would probably be a one-shot from everyone.
Also, I'm thinking that maybe the chance to run the challenge can be passed around. If someone wants to do the general writing challenge or the prompt one (they can choose the prompt) then they can.
Okay, "can" and "fun."
As for the reviewing challenge, we can lower the amount of reviews needed if it gets posted during a busier month. Or if we find that everyone has some more free time, we can increase the amount needed. It all depends on how things go.
And that's all, so thoughts?
