Long challenge poll 2022

[haldoor.livejournal.com]

Hey, everyone, it's time to look forward to this year's long challenges! And we want your input! I have listed most of the long challenges we have had in the past, although I've left out Advent and Swap of Joy, as well as 100-in-100 as these are ones we're likely to run in some form or another in December.

Long challenges generally run for six weeks each, starting from Jan 16th, which means we have room for seven of them before December. Please vote for as many as you like, but aim for a minimum of three and preferably no more than seven, and try to vote for ones you would like to take part in. There is no requirement to take part in them, by the way, but it would be great if you could!

If you don't know a particular challenge, try checking out the appropriate tag for samples and/or explanations of each one, though I will point out that we never actually used video games, so if you have a brilliant idea on how to run this one, please do vote for it and tell us about it in the comments.



[Poll #2115772]


The other thing I'd love to hear from you is whether you can help run any of the long challenges, and if there are any dates you cannot help out in, so we can roster them. You can run these alone or with another person who is also interested, and we'll pair you up if you show interest, so don't worry! We will also support you in any way you need while you're in charge!

If anyone's up for running our first challenge, which will be from 16 Jan to 28 Feb, let us know in a comment (and you may be able to choose the challenge too if it looks popular enough), then we'll get you on it ASAP!

Finally, if you have any NEW ideas for a long challenge and want a chance to run it, tell us about that in the comments too!

I'll leave the poll open for three days, and then we'll look at deciding which are the most popular in terms of participants and people who will run them. Thank you all!

Definitely up for running NaNo again as it helps me with my own prep.
Might be able to help out with others.

I wasn't able to be online much at all last year 'cause I was swamped with orders. I didn't write any words at all. :( But this year I'm going to make the time.

So if you'll have me I'm up to running the drabble/icon and/or comment fic, bingo, august rush, etc...

I have voted :) And I can help run the Three Sentence Challenge and the Mad Libs and Crossover also have me intrigued, so if help is needed with those challenges, I volunteer :)

I'm up for running one this year! If possible, I'd prefer not to do anything that's in April or May since I'm modding another fest then. I'm interested in bingo, drabble/icon, crossovers and three sentence fic, though if those are all taken, anything else would be fine as well!

I don't remember Mad Libs, but I love 'em so I ticked it, lol. I'm up for helping with or running one or two- however it works out. I'd be most interested in helping with bingo and maybe drabble/icon or three sentence fics, whichever we end up doing.

I don't think I can do the first round due to a work project but no other times of year are at issue.

Thanks, I'll let you know once I see how the figures are looking! ;-)

Sorry you weren't around last year, but yay for lots of orders - that's always good, yes? Glad to have you onboard again this year! Will let you know how we're set once I check the final figures.

[haldoor.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'll see how the final figures look, and let you know what's available as soon as I can!

[haldoor.livejournal.com]

Thank you! That is great! I'll let you know how things are looking as soon as I have time to check the final figures.

[haldoor.livejournal.com]

That's wonderful, thank you! I'll check the figures in a day or so and hopefully have some news shortly. ;-)

Orders are always good. Although I do need to crochet more 'ready to ship' items instead of 'made to order' ones. :D

Looking forward to it.

I'd love to offer to help, but I dare not commit to anything until the bastarding thesis of doom is finished and submitted. And I know when I want to have that done by, but I also know reality does not always match expectation...

[haldoor.livejournal.com]

That's OK! if you are watching and offering up words when you can, that works too! Good luck with the bastarding thesis of doom! ;-)
