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

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.

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 :)

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!

One is for this challenge- What does H/H mean?
The other is from another one- fae?
Thank you!
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 :)
