The Villain Challenge

HEAR YE! HEAR YE!

It is time to commence the Disney Villain Challenge! If you participated in our Disney Challenge, you will know that this will look exactly the same. The only difference is we are going to read for all the villains instead. If you didn't participate in that challenge, though, just know that each character is from a Disney movie and is the bad person in it.

Challenge Rules
Participants will be split into teams evenly. Each team will be given 3 characters (chosen using random.org). The teams then have to read 4 tasks from those 3 characters. You will get a new character once 4 tasks for 1 character are completed, reviewed, and posted on the team's review thread. Character categories cannot be repeated until all eight tasks for that character are used on the team's review thread.

For example, if you got Queen Grimhilde and you only completed the first 4 tasks.

Queen Grimhilde
- Purple Cover (75%) Heart of the Matter
- MC is royalty
- MPG Fairy Tale Cinder
- 'Diabolical' in text (pg/% & quote)
- Read a book from the Cursed Books List Tiger's Curse
- Heart on cover The Lipstick Laws
- Features a possessive character
- MC has green eyes

When you get Queen Grimhilde again, you will need to finish the remaining 4 tasks.

- 'Diabolical' in text (pg/% & quote)
(view spoiler)[- Read a book from the Cursed Books List Tiger's Curse
- Heart on cover The Lipstick Laws (hide spoiler)]
- Features a possessive character
- MC has green eyes

If you have books that will work for the ones already completed - I suggest you put them on hold until you get Queen Grimhilde again.

Each team will also get 4 skips for the entire challenge. Skips can only be used towards characters that you do not want to complete 4 tasks for.

For example, if you got Queen Grimhilde and you wanted to skip 4 of her tasks.

Queen Grimhilde
- Purple Cover (75%) SKIP
- MC is royalty
- MPG Fairy Tale SKIP
- 'Diabolical' in text (pg/% & quote)
- Read a book from the Cursed Books List SKIP
- Heart on cover SKIP
- Features a possessive character
- MC has green eyes

After using your first skip for those 4 tasks, Queen Grimhilde is considered complete for the first portion. Once you get her again, you will have the remaining task to complete.

- MC is royalty
(view spoiler)[- MPG Fairy Tale SKIP (hide spoiler)]
- 'Diabolical' in text (pg/% & quote)
(view spoiler)[- Read a book from the Cursed Books List SKIP
- Heart on cover SKIP (hide spoiler)]
- Features a possessive character
- MC has green eyes

You can't use two skips on the same character. So since you used one skip for the first 4 tasks, you will have to complete the remaining 4 tasks.

I suggest you use your skips wisely.
