Kim. E. | 254 comments I'm going to work on this on my master log for now in case it's getting a remodel in the next few months. I can add here later.

I don't have any plans to remodel this one at the moment but that's fine Kim. Good luck with it :)

This challenge is no longer open to new sign ups.

This is because it is either going to be revamped or is going to be discontinued once the current participants have finished playing.

If you are currently playing this challenge, don't worry - you can still carry on as before until you are done. The challenge will not be discontinued until all current players are finished.

Could any current participants comment below so I can get an idea of who is still playing.

Thank you :)

Sorry Kim, when I said this, I really had no plans for remodelling but I've since taken a fresh look at all our challenges and this is one that I think needs updating. Don't worry though - you can still play until you're done. The challenge won't be discontinued until all current players have finished :)

Kim. E. | 254 comments Caroline, once again I'm off kilter. Don't wait for me if everyone else is done. I haven't looked yet to see if you've revamped this or not, but I'd be happy to work on a more current one.

It's fine Kim if you want to carry on working on this one. I won't close this thread until all players have finished. The revamped version should be coming fairly soon though, but it will be different from this one in that each year will be a separate challenge and be released at regular intervals :)

Thanks Caroline! I love movie challenges for some reason, so I'll work to get this one and pace the other when the time comes. Have a great weekend!


message 77: by Kim. E. (new)

Kim. E. | 254 comments I do have 2 questions:

One is for this challenge- What does H/H mean?


The other is from another one- fae?

Thank you!


message 78: by [deleted user] (last edited Jul 07, 2017 03:47AM) (new)

Just so you know, a lot of the tasks will still be the same on the new version, it's more a revamp of the format than the actual tasks.

H/H means (as far as I know) hero/heroine, fae is any kind of fairy or elf type creature :)
