Shellbelle ’s Comments (group member since Sep 19, 2011)

Shellbelle ’s comments from the The Challenge Factory group.

I think the biggest thing is we need to decide for absoute sure what stays where and what goes. I think if we post one challenge in to many groups it's harder on us as Mod's/Host and the challengers might feel pulled as to where to do it. But we may have to do that a little at the begining. We also need to keep in mind that we will be adding more challenges, so Tegan while it's easy enough now to do your Book-a-month in several differnt groups, you will be able to host several different challenges here so condensing it down to one that is run here and linked to both groups may end up being easier in the long run. Though ultimately I'll let that be your call.

As of now this is what we are sure on...

RIME Will Keep For Sure...*However they will be linked in here)
♥RIME Monthly Challenge
♥Reading Is My Escape Yearly Challenge


WLSM Will Keep For Sure... *Will Also be Linked
♥WLSM Monthly Challenge
♥Any Specif SM Challenge exampel Susanomics 101

Reading Challenges (HELP pick a new name) will have here...
♥Hero Challenge
♥Heroine Challenge
♥GoodReads 2011 Challenge
♥Buddy Reads (the new challenge Tegan is starting)

What's Up In the Air...
♥Seasonal Challenges
♥Book-a-month Challenges for both groups

Did I leave anything out?
So just post what you think about the up in the airs and if you have a problem with any of the others. Remember that like with the seasonal we can still do a RIME group event for the seasonal challenge have a link in the challenges there so that RIMEers still have plenty of access but it keeps most of the challenges in one spot. I do agree with Jen that we should have at least a couple in the group for casual challenges...they have to start their addictions somewhere!lol

I really think with a bigger group it might be easier but who knows!lol Let me look and see what the other groud did.

That was my orginal thought, but I keep second guessing what will work easier. Good thing is we can always change it later if something isn't working right?!

The logistics are killing me!

My biggest questions about this whole thing would be what challenges stay in the groups? I guess we could do them all here but I kind of feel like the Monthly group challenge should stay in the group and have a link here...I think I started a folder to show you what I mean. And then if a challenge is very group specific...like Susanomics 101. But then again we could always have links for these things in the groups and just do those here too...what do you think?

Also, what about the challenges like the hero/heroine and seasonal challenges that are already started but will be going for awhile? Should we post the challenges here and let people have the choice to move their list and encourage them to do so? Should we just stick those out in their groups?

Last thing that is hurting my brain...when should we plan on having this up and going?

Hi There! My name is Shellbelle (but most call me Shell) and I am a Mod for The Challenge Factory, Reading Is My Escape, We ♥ Susan Mallery. When I'm not on GoodReads or reading (HAHAHAHAhAHAHA) I am usually hanging out my 14 year old daughter and my 17 year old soon to be stepdaughter and sneaking in time with the Fiance! I work an Assisted Living as a receptionist as well as sub for Pre K- 12 grade for my public school district and LOVE working with kiddos♥

I adore GoodReads and all the amazing people I have met on here, and I have become totatlly addicted to the challenges so what a better group to be a part of!!!

Happy Reading
Shell
