The Challenge Factory discussion

Oh my gosh I'm so sorry I fell asleep and totally forgot about posting the alternate last night.

How dare you sleep!
LMAO. You are good, my team isn't playing since we can't win. If we can't win, we don't wanna play (LOL)

NP! I posted it as soon as I got up. My team can win and being as I've been in a million team challenges and never placed first I'm really hoping we win lol.

Good luck Jenne! I'm surprised my team actually made it in to the 70s before the end. My rolls in the beginning were freaking horrible.

For some reason last night I forgot it was Wednesday. So after I finished my book, I thought I could work on things later and then fell asleep. Probably didn't help that I watched Sons of Anarchy last night which is on Tuesday nights. Plus I've been super busy and super stressed out this week so I think I might have lost my mind.

I must admit, i am glad it's over for us. Playing mediator was getting old. So now everyone can go to their respective corners

has Mira, Crixus and Naevia...I gotta watch it

Not Spartacus...Sons of Anarchy. lol It's damn good though.

I know, aren't the actors on that show...or is Arrow?

It's Arrow that has Crixus and Naevia. Not Mira though, although she'd be great. I just looked at Katrina Law's IMDB did you realize she played a Mord Sith on Legend of the Seeker?

Yes. Cara the Mord Sith was my first avatar here on goodreads. Katrina just landed the role of Nyssa al ghoul on Arrow.

Oh sweet. I didn't see that. I watched that Snow Bride movie that she was in. Cheesy, but not bad.

I liked that movie...but I love cheesy. She made the movie as the a Hero was a but stiff.

Have you see The Magic of Ordinary Days with Keri Russell & Skeet Ulrich? Loved it!

I'm a super sucker for cheesy holiday movies. I've watched so many already and it's only the 7th of December. Never seen The Magic of Ordinary Days, but then I don't like Keri Russell or Skeet Ulrich. I'll have to check it out though.

I set up a yearly folder for 2014 challenges. So any y'all are cooking up put them there instead of the yearly folder. Also who would like what for next month? I'm going to do my best to get any monthly and my foremen challenge up this week. I got the winter challenge up last night.

For the 2014 yearlies I've put up the alphabet challenge and will do the 100 book genre challenge as well - both of those have been very popular and they're sort of classics by now. I'll see if I get a sudden flash of creativity during the holidays and come up with something new as well. :)

I can keep the buddy read, and do the smart is sexy challenge as well (I left it out for December, as everyone tends to have a lot of books to finish for other challenges then). I think Ezi said she'd like to do creature feature?

I can do the history one again unless someone else really wants to. And I'll see what I can think of for yearly challenges that we aren't already doing.

I dont mind doing creature feature Denise, but if you want to, you can!

Either way works for me, Ezi! :)

Oh and I'll do another Scavenger Hunt for Jan-March. Do any of you have words/objects that you think should be included?

Hey Jenne, are the Listopia's in the I've Lost my Mind challenge supposed to be clickable links?

Denise wrote: "Either way works for me, Ezi! :)"

I was thinking of Alien's since it was an "A", and we had recently done angels. With Sci-Fi as other options.

What were you thinking?

On no Paris please tell me they work? I had that monster list put together then Gr ate it so I put it on a word doc and copied.

No. Sorry. They are not clickable. I'm sorry. I copied and pasted them into Listopia so I could look at January's list. If you want I can do that starting in December and working my way up. I can then paste the link to the Listopia into a message for you.

I wonder what the heck happened it's all plugged in right and I formed them like I always do. If you have time to do January's I'd love you to death lol.

Yeah I'm home sick from work so I can do January's. I'll message you the url for those

Okay, January's is done. Let me know if I can do anything else for you. They look like they should work, so there probably is just something wrong with the coding or something, so you might not have to go find all the urls again.

Thank you thank you thank you! If you feel like kit and have the time you won't hurt my feelings getting the links lol. Hopefully between the two of us it'll get fixed quick.

Why do I keep wanting to make a spell it out year long challenge with supercalifragilisticexpialidocious?

Umm, cuz your crazy...and creative:D

OMG Do it!!!!!

Yay! glad you guys like the idea. Now I can do it and it'll leave me alone. lol

It's all the Saving Mr. Banks stuff I've been seeing around, I think. The dang song keeps getting stuck in my head. I'll probably set it up tomorrow because I'm too tired tonight. I keep thinking it has to be at least midnight and its not even ten yet.

Well damn, now I'm gonna have to join that one too! XD

Denise wrote: "Well damn, now I'm gonna have to join that one too! XD"

Denise, We have to do a BR on ...around march?

Sounds good to me, Ezi! :D

@Jenne.
I am assuming you are the one who archives, right? If so, when you get free time, can you or we (if assigned) start cleaning up the threads.

It would be a nice and cleaner and leaner look to just have 2014 stuff visible for 2014.

Let me know what you want me/us to do

I so wish there was a mass delete option! I'll stat cleaning them up and anyone who wants to as well you go for it.

I just had an idea, before we delete any past challenges I'm going to set us up a TCF archive/mod group so we'll have any for future reference .

No need. We are a team, right?

No worries! Life happens. :) Great to have you back, though! And Happy New Year, everyone! :D

It's all good :)
Happy New Years ladies!

You just complete the challenges in the Series Challenge thread (however many you want to do) and apply them to the Series-ously challenge.
