Sub-Genre Challenge (which I used in lieu of Time Travel last year)

I assume they just haven't gotten around to starting them for 2023. I'd be glad to post those if they don't.

Location: New Zealand		Hi Finminer

I don't roll over every one of my challenges every year. Normally I try to do something different every year (although I haven't come up with anything yet!). Feel free to post the Sub-Genre (or Time Travel) if you would like. Sub-Genre will probably have more takers as it has more scope.

Will do - yes, I'll stick with Sub-Genre as it is more flexible. Thanks for the notice and I look forward to whatever challenge you come up with!

Thanks!

Thought I'd try something different. I hope you like it. Cheers!

Location: Great Lakes, USA		Can you put the flaming jack-o'-lantern banner on this year's Halloween Challenge (hope I didn't put it in twice) and add one for the other challenge I put it for September? I think this one was done before, so there might be a banner already made. I don't remember what it looked like. Or you can make a new one if you like.

Thanks!

Location: Windsor, Ontario		Hi, I just initiated the David Drake Memorial Military SF Challenge. I re-read the second sentence wording and it's not clear enough can you correct it to read:

"Try to read at least one third from WWE's Baen Reader's List of Recommendations and/or from David Drake himself."

I'll leave it to you to find a kick ass image for the banner.

Thanks so much.

Great idea for a reading challenge!

I'm working on the banner now. You might want to add something about Drake's status in the MilSF world to flesh out the memorial part of the challenge description.

David Drake was an icon in the Military Science Fiction world. He wrote some of the most influential fiction in the genre. His work was honest, gritty, and it touched the lives of many readers and writers.

If you have never read any of his books, make it up to yourself and join this challenge.

Did you set it to the correct dates? I've done that before, and set it for 2024 dates when we were only going into 2023! Can you see it to access it and check?

Hey Dusty, you'll need to set up your Pick & Mix again for this year. I can help you out if you want to meet up on Discord or Skype etc.
