Good morning everyone! (or afternoon, evening, whathaveyou depending on where in the world you live)

As three people have completed the first challenge I am offering up our next one: a fan favourite from last July, the Flashback post!

Basically the way this one works is you write a post either primarily or entirely in flashback. This can be posted anywhere on the boards or on wts. Like last year, feel free to link us all to your fantastic challenge responses by replying to this thread with the character who completed the challenge and a link to the post!

This particular challenge was voted on in the chatzy via a poll so if you haven't had a chance to vote, please do! If the challenge you voted for wasn't this one, in the wise words of one Rita Skeeter à la AVPS: "know this, dear readers" there are more to come!

If you have no idea what this "Challenge" thing is about please click here to read the explanation. If you have any questions or suggestions feel free to respond to me by either replying to this post or catching me in the chatzy. As of late I've been going by "Laila Kennedy" but most of you know me as Liliana & Co.

Have a great day, everyone! xoxo

In addition to the Midsummer events, we sometimes run site-wide plots, such as last years 'secrets revealed' plot with the Satori.

At present, we don't have one of these planned. However, we would welcome submissions of ideas to the site email address. Plots should be something that will enable all characters to join in, not centre around your individual characters (save those for personal plots).

Hey everyone, apologies for having this out both past Wednesday and after three people posted their flashback challenges, RL has gotten pretty crazy but I am through the thick of it (hopefully!).

Anyway, your third challenge iiiis: It Was All A Dream.

Other than quoting Biggie Smalls (because I hope you read that in his voice) the idea behind this challenge is similar to the Worst of Me challenge which, since some of you voted for it will still be posted in the coming weeks.

Does your character have an alter-ego that is perhaps a little darker than your character would like? Is there something your character would really like to do to someone but wouldn't normally because of the consequences? Well here is their chance!

In It Was All A Dream your character gets to act out all their darkest desires. Written as either parody fics to be posted on wts (provide a warning if it is PG-13) or as Sonora posts (in which your character wakes up at the end of it and it was...all a dream; please remember to keep the regular site posts rated PG) this challenge is designed so your character can (potentially) get away with murder (but not too graphically).

Please link your posts in responses to this post if you feel comfortable.

Have fun and as always, if you have any questions or suggestions feel free to respond to me by either replying to this post or catching me in the chatzy. As of late I've been going by "Laila Kennedy" but most of you know me as Liliana & Co.

This one is more on the risque side than the other challenge posts though and takes "darkest desires" to mean "deep romantic" desires so click here if you want some harmless fluff.

Meep, well because it's late and some people have been very persistent in asking for this challenge to go up, I'll keep it short and sweet!

This challenge is called : Make New Friends, but Keep the Old.

In this challenge, you will write your character talking to another of your non-blood related characters OR, if you only have one character or only have blood related characters then tag someone you have always wanted your character to talk to.

Please reply to this post with links to your challenges so that everyone else can see your master pieces! And remember, in three days or after three challenges are completeed (whichever comes first) I shall start work on posting challenge #5!

Have fun and, as always if you have questions respond here or catch me in the chatzy!

Okay all, sorry this one is so close in time to the posting of challenge 4, but since November ends on Tuesday, there wasn't a lot of time. Just consider this a bonus!

Title: Thirteen Going on Thirty.

In either a site or Wedded to Sonora post, you must write either a child character who must act like an adult, or an adult character behaving like a child.

This is courtesy of Arnold Manger, etc., so any questions can be brought to him (a chatzy frequent, so check there first).

Have fun! It's been a blast!

Hey everyone! Tomorrow I will be leaving on a short notice trip. I will be back January 25. Until then I can't promise I'll really be around (not that I've been around recently due to moving and all that jazz).

Have a fabulous day! :)
