Challenge Corner discussion

*reads the challenge message from Alaina and dies at:

From,
The best mods ever!*

Hahaha.

hahaha xD

Aw I can only send out on broadcast message :( Does anyone want to send out a message for our quarterly challenge?

Just paste what you want me to send and I can. But I also don't know how to send a mass message. Haha.

:O you go to the group home link and scroll down to you see the members. Click "More Members". Scroll down to the page #'s and there's "Broadcast a message to all members" bolded right next to "previous".

Uh just say:

Good Morning (again!),

We, the most awesome mods ever, have just added our new Quarterly Challenge - The Series Challenge! If you like to participate just click this lovely link: The Series Challenge and join!

From,
THE BEST MODS EVER (ever.. ever.. ever..)

I also don't know how to make that "The Series Challenge" a link like how it is in yours. Sorry. So computer illiterate. Haha.

XD! LOL!

click the (some html ok) and it's the < a href link

Wait! That doesn't say how to do it! All of this is going right over my head. Lmfaoo.

<
a href
=
"insert the copy of the link from the series challenge"
>
The Series Challenge
<
/
a>

but like... all of it together in one line..

Maybe I can't do this. Lol. I don't have a 'some html ok' link to click like normally. This broadcast message thing doesn't look like a normal message to me.

haha it's all good. I can just send it out tomorrow

Nevermind. Got it. Had to use a friend as a tester for that link thing because it was all very complicated for me. Lmao.

This thread has been pretty funny today. I loved the "best mods ever" bit in the messages. :D

Thanks for being awesome, guys! This group would have fallen apart without you.

Just saw the talk about a Disney challenge and a villains challenge. I think we should definitely do both of those. I can put some thought into it soon.

Maybe for August and September if we have through July planned.

Thanks CP! I love that we work so well together! When someone forgets something another remembers about it. We're like a well-oiled machine! :)

And that one message where we received praise! We're awesome! :D

Yes, we are! And it's great that we all seem to work well together. Otherwise it would be no fun.

Series Challenge April-June
Summer/Vacation Challenge July-September

YES YES YES! A Disney one! :D

woot woot! well since I'm at work and can't actually do work I can do a ton of mod stuff today and come up with some of the challenges if you want. or I could read...

For the Fairytale one are we supposed to add to it? Or is that where we're leaving it? There are just so many more we can do. And most of those are Disney Princesses. So maybe we should switch the Disney and Villian months?

Let me take a look at that and see if I can make it just fairy tales. Then make a Disney one just disney. And a villain one with villains?

Yeah, there are other non-Disney fairytales I think we can add and then take out the Disney ones. That makes more sense.

Will do! :D

I have some ideas for the Disney one. So whenever you get that doc made I can add to it. I don't know how to actually make a doc. So I can't do that. Haha.

We could also go to some of the original fairy tales and less of the Disney version.

And feel free to work on as much or as little mod stuff as you like, Alaina.

I'm gonna add some fairytales to the doc. And then try to think of some categories for them.

shared the Disney document!

How’s the fairytale challenge looking? I haven’t checked yet since I’m at lunch but I think Disney is sort of done if anyone wants to look at it

We gotta do Brave! Merida is considered a Disney Princess now! :D

Okay!

Just added some for her.

Added a couple more to make it 8, I think its pretty much done now. Now I really want to go to Disney lol. The fairytale challenge still needs some more categories

I’ll be able to look at it when I get home and hopefully I can come up with some more options

I'll try and take a look ad well. We do have a little time.

Hello ladies :D

So Jamie just asked on the Series Challenge Sign up if she could count these star wars books (on the list) as a series: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1... ?

I would say since it's part of listopia and not the authors bio that it wouldn't count. If she can find them on the authors site that would be okay. ;)

When are we doing the mods vs group teams again?

Felicia wrote: "When are we doing the mods vs group teams again?"

I think it was sometime in the summer???

Oh wait. Wasn’t it like for the anniversary or something? I don’t know when that is. Lol. Only been on GR less than a year. 😁

Felicia wrote: "Oh wait. Wasn’t it like for the anniversary or something? I don’t know when that is. Lol. Only been on GR less than a year. 😁"

I think it was in June?

Oh! Book! I got accepted for an arc of Pestilence! I am so fucking excited. All other books have been placed on hold until further notice. Lmao. 🤓

Wonderful. That’s like one of the busiest months at my job. Yeesh. Lol.

Awesome! I won't be able to read it for almost a week so I'm super jealous. :)

Hi ladies! How's everyone doing?! (:

CP, do you remember when/if we decided when we were going to start that Book Depisitory book for the quarterly challenge winner. Are we doing that for the April quarterly challenge? If so, I was just thinking we should let everyone know on the sign up thread before it starts. It'll give everyone the motivation to really participate in the challenge.

I’m feeling a lot better! Broke my fever sometime this morning and I’m back at work. Exhausted though but better.

Oh good! The fever is the worst part of the flu, in my opinion. All the hot and cold because of it absolutely sucks. Did you get a lot of your reading done with at home? Or did ya sleep mostly?
