Your challenge this week is to write as many words as you can on your WIP during the duration of this song, then PM me with your 'score' in words (first try only ;) ). The person with the most words gets a bonus of three points--another bonus of one point if they post it on the forum wherever appropriate.(if you have no current WIP, then just start something new :D )

Question... Do you all like these kind of crazy goals with extra bonuses for more specific additions, or would you rather I keep it more streamlined, or both? :)

As always...

The Rules wrote:
1. All challenges must be declared completed by midnight Saturday in your timezone (please specify your timezone when you sign up).
2. All challenges (personal or weekly) must be declared by midnight Monday in your timezone.
3. Personal challenges cannot be repeated.
4. The organizer reserves the right to veto any challenges that seem too simple. (i.e. writing a sentence)


If this is your first time on one of these quests, you'll need to see the initiation pamphlet.

Also, I would like to remind everyone that any weekly challenge pieces that are posted on the forum will be eligible to be featured in our newsletter. Please post a link in this thread if you would like it to be considered.

If you could write your sign-up post in a similar format to the following, it would be appreciated:
Goal: weekly challenge (or whatever you decide to do)
Timezone: PDT

Yes. :D Even then someone might be faster than you, but that's okay, it's just a fun thing. ^_^

Thanks for the feedback. :D I'm glad you enjoy the challenges. *nods to Juliet* That makes sense--I'll try to think up simpler/less complex challenges and balance things out that way too. :D

Write valiantly, everyone! :D

Okay, my personal goal is finished, and not the challenge. I was wondering, what if the music keeps stopping?

Did you try letting it play through once first and then just starting it over for when you do the challenge? Maybe it needs time to buffer or something....
