Oh, one more detail... When you start this, you can mention that if the document does not work for them, or they would prefer a google doc, they can contact me and I will get them set up with a google doc.

I've submitted a blog post that should go up soon... I'll try to get a PM chain together. If anyone has time to go through the thread and make a list of the participants for me, that'd be awesome. :D If not, I'll do it later, no worries.

I'm done with my 1st Character. Do I have to put it in the Character Profiling form?

No, Mopa. See the attached document to the post you linked to? Download that to your computer and just fill it out as you go. Afterward, you can post characters you want available for people to adopt in the designated thread (not sure where it is).

Mop, if you want to give away your character, you can put them up for adoption.
If you want to keep your character, just save it on your computer.

If I get behind, is it okay if I do multiple characters in one day to catch up?

All right, everyone, this event technically ended yesterday. But since most of us (myself included :P ) are behind, the 31st of March can be the day for catch-up. You can still make it! :D I'm sure y'all can arrange word wars in chat or the various Skype rooms; they help a lot with the profiling, I've found.
Good luck!

I failed at this. :P I think I did one character... March just ended up being far too buys of the month.

Is there going to be, like, a 30 Character Details or something? I was wondering 'cuz you said somewhere that this would be for creating new characters, but you might make another quest for doing more in-depth detail or something like that.

Who was able to finish it? Although I'm guessing not in 30 days. ;)

I got 20-some of them done, but last week was crazy, so I didn't end up finishing them all.

Is it mean to feel comforted that I am not the only one who technically failed this 30-day challenge? All right, it probably is. But I can say, this challenge helped me listen to the voices (both blatant and soft) of my characters and give them more defined personalities. Still, I am terrible at finishing these challenges.

I got to twenty characters in the last 3 days of the challenge. :P But I couldn't come up with 10 more characters. Sigh. I shall have to try again some day. But... *perks up slightly* ...at least we all have new characters to work with now!

Thanks for starting this, Liza dear! It has helped me a lot in getting to know my characters better. As a result, I have developed a certain fondness for a few of them. :)

Yes, thank you very much NutCraker. With just one character, I already am planning another book. :)
