The Disney Challenge

HEAR YE! HEAR YE!

It is time to commence the Disney Challenge! It has been a whole year since we’ve done this but just know that this is all about the lovely characters that we’ve grown up with. Each character is from a Disney movie and is either a princess, prince, or overall good person within 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 Snow White and only completed the first 4 tasks.

Snow White
- Fruit on cover (Ex: Apple) His Banana
- White cover (75%) Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race
- ‘Poison’ in text (pg/% & quote) Poison Study
- Read a book from the Dwarves Books shelf
- 7 in page count
- 4+ pov's Six of Crows
- MC has black hair
- Features an evil stepmother

When you get Snow White again, you will need to finish the remaining 4 tasks.

- Read a book from the Dwarves Books shelf
- 7 in page count
(view spoiler)[- 4+ pov's Six of Crows (hide spoiler)]
- MC has black hair
- Features an evil stepmother

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

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

For example, if you got Snow White and wanted to skip 4 of her tasks.

Snow White
- Fruit on cover (Ex: Apple) SKIP
- White cover (75%) SKIP
- ‘Poison’ in text (pg/% & quote) SKIP
- Read a book from the Dwarves Books shelf
- 7 in page count
- 4+ pov’s SKIP
- MC has black hair
- Features an evil stepmother

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

Snow White

- White cover (75%) SKIP
- ‘Poison’ in text (pg/% & quote) SKIP (hide spoiler)]
- Read a book from the Dwarves Books shelf
- 7 in page count
(view spoiler)[- 4+ pov’s SKIP (hide spoiler)]
- MC has black hair
- Features an evil stepmother

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.
